SLOANE'S POINT OF VIEW.

My eyes widen at the sight of chaos in the school’s parking lot as Lucien’s car pulls up. The frenzy of reporters with their flashing cameras, their mixed, rushed voices, as they fell over their words, and the way their cameras captured everything in the school.

The world suddenly became too small, as my chest constricted again, and my breathing became too heavy. I clenched my palms into fists and bit my lower lip, as tension racked my body whole. The sight of the judges being interviewed made me swallow, as I watched the press do their job.

It might have been a daily routine to them, but all I could hear was the harsh thomp of my heart as I stared at them.

I swallowed the saliva in my mouth as I clutched the car’s handle tightly. My nerves spiked again, my earlier bravado from Lucien’s pep talk disappeared into thin air, as the familiar chill ran up my spine.

Before I could even think about anything else, a reporter pointed at Lucien’s car, making the rest of

    LUCIEN'S POINT OF VIEW.I watched on the sidelines with my hands in my pockets. The cameras clicked and flashed at every turn, while the hall buzzed to life with each second that passed by. The national debate wasn’t supposed to be just any event; it was Sloane’s ticket to being placed on the map. I understood why she was so worried.She had too much riding on this, and all I could do was stand by her side and provide as much support as I could.I waited for her to finish in the bathroom. Since she left it, I didn’t bother going to her. She needed space, and I would give it to her.However, my chest flared with something I could not recognise. I looked around, my shoulders tense for some reason, as I waited for Sloane to walk back to me. Something wasn’t right…I just didn’t know what it was yet.The crowd buzzed to life as the moderator spoke, but all I could feel was tense. The hair on the back of my neck rose as I looked around the hall for whatever made me feel this way.After s

    SERAPHINA’S POINT OF VIEW.“Yes, it will be done, father,” I whispered as I held the phone to my ear while trying to keep my breathing controlled. All I wanted to do for some reason was see that stupid descendant of Queen Victoria again.Ever since I had his tongue in my pussy, my mind hasn’t been the same way. I wanted more…and I hated the fact that I did.“Don’t disappoint me, Sera. Ace is already doing a fantastic job at making sure the plan stays in motion. I expect nothing less than excellence from you. Watch her, and make sure everything we want happens today. That sham of a debate must happen the exact way we planned. I won’t settle for anything less.”“Yes, Father. I won’t let you down.” I whispered, clutching the phone with tight fingers, as the sound of my heart pounding in my chest filled my ears.Thomp, thomp.“Sera.” He said, his voice suddenly calm, and almost…endearing. “Is everything okay? I hope you’re not... distracted.”My face went pale, as my blood ran cold in my

    SLOANE’S POINT OF VIEW.THE DEBATE.I took deep breaths as I paced up and down through my corridor. My thoughts drifted to the text I’d gotten last night while preparing for this debate.‘You’re in danger because of who you are.’I had another nightmare last night, too. This time, it was the entire school laughing at me as they threw rotten tomatoes at me. In that dream, even Lucien laughed along with them as he poured a bucket of expired milk all over me.My skin crawled with fear as I stopped my pacing. My chest constricted, and all of a sudden, I couldn’t fucking breathe again.What if I fail?What if my nightmare comes true?What if everyone truly starts hating me again?What if I fail?I missed my father, because I know he would have been here telling me everything would be okay. All I wanted to do was hide in a small circle and wait for the world to freeze over. I didn’t want to do this anymore…I just want to fucking quit it all.I would usually be confident, unafraid even, but

    ELDRIC'S POINT OF VIEW.I stared at the board before and then smirked. If all goes the way I’ve planned, Sloane would be too humiliated to stand by Lucien’s side, and the fucker would be crushed.“Hello, Mayor,” I said, my lips stretching in a smile, even though I hated the piece of shit. He thinks I’m King Ravenscroft, though, so I’ll just pretend I am while Lucien isn’t here.“What is it, Eldric?” His monotonous, uninterested voice rang out, forcing me to grit my teeth and swallow a snide remark. “I’ve been thinking.”“Really? That’s new.” He replied, and I could hear the sound of papers shuffling through the phone, over that of my subtle hiss.“Yes,” I said through clenched teeth. “I wanted to see if Ravenscroft High could go head-to-head in the coming national competition. The debate one, I think we have a shot at winning, especially with our world-class students.”“Yes, I was about to call the office of your principal on that, but it seems he doesn’t work there anymore.” He said

    ELDRIC'S POINT OF VIEW.I stared at the huge Ravenscroft crest on the wall in my study, created with pure gold, and the family’s signature jewels: black opal and alexandrite. The damn thing stared back at me, reminding me of my status each time I glanced at it.I hate the damn thing.The lion on it, the name, everything about this place makes my blood boil. I clutched the ice pack in my hands harder, placing it on my cheeks. That bastard packed a punch, I’ll give him that.I swirled the whiskey in my glass, watching as the amber liquid caught the light, and stretched my lips in a slow, thin smile that never touched my eyes.The crest didn’t belong to Lucien. It didn’t belong to Alicia. And it sure as hell didn’t belong to her parents, those pompous bastards who looked down their noses at me. No, it belonged to me.Me. Eldric Hayes.Ravenscroft.I clenched my jaw at the sound of the name in my head. It should be my name that quakes fear, and admiration in the minds and hearts of ever
