The Blur ~*+Vikklan AU+*~

^ 5 ^

As if they were on cue, someone knocks at my door. "Vikky, wake up!" Lillian calls through the door.

"What if I don't?" I call back, expertly making my voice sound tired from many nights of sneaking out before this.

"Then I'll stick Preston on you," I huff and roll my eyes. Whenever Preston is called to wake me, he always barges straight in and starts yelling out the daily commands for the guards. Whom surprisingly listen from all the way up here. He has a really loud voice.

"You're annoying. Fine I'll be down in a moment."

"Alright! See you at breakfast Vikky!" she says sweetly before her footsteps disappear down the hall.

Groaning, I reluctantly get out of my bed and head over to the wardrobe to get changed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Once I was fully dressed in a different pair of daily clothes, I walk out of the quarters to meet Preston. "Good. You're ready. Lillian sent me up here to make sure of it," he says with a light chuckle.

"Why are you in a good mood?" I ask raising my eyebrows.

"No reason. I just am," he says with a smile before walking away. Strange. Preston never acts this way.

I shake my head before walking down the stairs and into the dining hall. It was a surprise to see a woman who looked vaguely like Lachy sitting at the table, and even more of a surprise to see my father seated beside her. The two of them in a heated conversation.

"Vik! There you are! Come sit down," My step-mother says, waving me over. I sit down, but my eyes do not leave the strange woman. Who is she?

"I'm Vikram. And you are?" I ask politely, nodding my head at her. She pauses her conversation with my father and smiles at me.

"Kaylee Craft. It's a pleasure to meet you Vikram."

"Son, this woman says she can help us catch The Blur. Apparently he is her younger brother," Father says looking at me with a smile. My eyes widen in surprise.

"R-Realy? That's interesting." I take a drink of water.

"Vik dear, are you alright?" my step-mother asks, "You seem flustered. Is there anything you'd like to tell us?" I shake my head no and set the glass down on the table.

"I apologize for being so sudden, but, may I speak with Vikram in private?" Kaylee asks, looking at my father.

"You may. Come now, we've already eaten," Father says, grabbing Lillian's arm before the others walk out of the room. My step-mother says nothing as she walks out of the room, closing the door behind her.

Kaylee waits for the door to close completely before she began to speak, "I am aware of your attraction towards my brother."

I choke slightly on my food before swallowing, "W-what do you mean?"

"Don't play dumb with me. I have spies who've seen you and my brother together numerous amounts of times."

"What do you want?" I ask, narrowing my eyes.

"Nothing. I just want to make sure my baby brother is safe," She says looking at her nails.

"But you threaten to turn-"

"Empty threats. I'm not going to tell your father anything useful."

"When why?"

"Because. You're the real person I want to speak with."

"How do you know I even know who he is?"

"As I said. I have spies. Anyways, I want you to go back to him tonight. Ask him for an outing or something. I just want him to be happy," I flush and look down at my plate of food.

"W-what if he doesn't accept?"

"He will. If he's anything like the Lachy I remember, he won't hesitate to say yes."

"How can I trust you?"

"I don't know." She says with a smirk. "But... what is life without a little risk eh?"

"You do spy on me!" I growl. She giggles and stands up.

"Have fun!" She says before walking out of the room.
