Everest.Even though I had no parents, I felt lucky having Phoebe. Ever since my mother died, she was the only one who had shown me so much love and care. I wondered how she got my luggages. I was so curious about it. Knowing my step mother fully well, if she knew I was here, I'm sure she would have come to the Academy to drag me out. “You don't have to overthink anything, whatever you decide, I will support your decisions.” Her soothing words calmed my nerves.“That's not what I'm thinking about, I wonder what you said to convince her.” I said, sounding very anxious.Phoebe let out a helpless sigh, “I told her I had sent you to another Branch outside the states.”Hearing this I giggled, this all made sense. “I could imagine the smile on her face right now. I'm sure she is very happy!” “Everest, I have so much faith in you, don't let me down. I'm not in any way pressuring you but I want you to give in your best. That way you could be free from Selene. And you would be able to live
FinnSeeing how scared she was I felt my heart ache. Why was she so scared? I had been with her for over two days straight, she is supposed to be familiar with me by now. Her constant biting made me chuckle, was this how she would save herself if she was really being kidnapped? It seems she had no skills at all. Heading towards my chambers, I could see the confusion in her eyes. She had no idea where this was but the luxury it was built with made her speechless, she suddenly stopped struggling. Does it mean she liked the fact of being kidnapped here?My guards were about to bow their heads. I glared angrily at them, signaling them not to. Thankfully, they understood my point. With large strides, I held her tightly into my chambers. She tried moving her head around but she couldn't, it seems she was more confused.Going into my room, I removed my hands above her mouth, freeing her. She turned around immediately and the stunned look on her face made me laugh. Looking at my palm, her t
Finn They had been well trained so even if I didn't say anything, they could read my words just by looking at the expression on my face. “You haven't told me what you are good at doing?” I said, earlier I had asked the same question but she shoved it off. “I make the best coffee, I'm good at painting and I'm also a very good cook. That's what Phoebe says, as for my sister Elena, she's good with arrows, horse riding and diving.” she replied. I couldn't help but wonder why she was on about her sister. “What else do you do? I mean when you are bored. What do you do for fun?” I asked. “Owh, Elena says I shouldn't tell you about it.” She replied. I had to end this conversation, “This is the school museum, it existed even before the Academy was built.” I said, pointing at a beautiful building which was a few meters away. She followed my line of sight and gave a nod. “Should we go in there?” I asked. She thought about it for a while, “No, we could do that another day.” She replied.“Okay
Everest.The sound of the loud bell woke me up. I robbed my eyes, getting up the bed, I was about to get off. My heart almost came out of my chest, “You startled me,” I said trying to catch my breath. Adrienne giggled, “I feel so good, scaring the shit out of you.” She said happily. I couldn't help but chuckle, seeing how happy she was, made me helpless, I couldn't get angry at her. “Good morning,” I greeted with a smile.” “Good morning, “Adrienne replied. Since she had achieved her aim she returned back to what she was doing. Using the ladder at the other end of the bunk, I supported my weight as I dressed my bed making it neat and tidy. With that being done, I got off the bunk. Our room was spacious enough but I was limited to most things all because of Alice. She had set the boundaries she didn't want me to cross. I had to adhere to them because I didn't want any problems. I just remembered what had happened yesterday, how I was avoiding Alice in Adrienne's absence. She had o
Everest I looked at Adrienne and she met my eyes with a smile. “You can do this,” she said, giving me a thumbs up. Yes I can but the question right now is, do I really want to?“The second rule, when the timer is over. You are to head to the kitchen, a map having Its direction is hidden in one of the main ingredients. There would be no bypass of this formation. After this I would be available for the next set of rules and instructions. You can now start.” Mister Roland announced. The whole hall became so noisy, everyone was searching their chart looking for the list of ingredients. Pushing my chart I head towards the supermarket, thanks to the stranger I knew exactly where it was located. I didn't need a map.Just walking a bit further I fell on my face, using my hands I placed it around my belly protecting my child. Alice had intentionally caused the fall, raising my head upwards, I glared angrily at her, she gave me a sinister smile. “And where the hell are you going to?” She ques
FinnI was supposed to be with her at this moment but something in me felt she could handle this very well on her own. I have done my best to help her out, now I hoped her skill would set in and pay off. My Father had complained that I was delaying the whole process , eviction was supposed to be ongoing. Now that I have set the rules to get favors, I have nothing to worry about. “Prince Finn, everything you commanded is ready.” My personal guard announced. I smiled wickedly, “Send the message to the old man, he knows where to meet me.” I commanded.I placed my foot on the stirrup, and got on the seat on the saddle. I rode my horses to the special spot awaiting the old man. “Your welcome Dad,” I said with a sinister smile. He furrowed his brows in anger, “Why did you bring me out here?” He asked.I smirked, “I had a lot of questions I wanted to ask you but because of mom I couldn't ask you about it over dinner.” I replied.He was silent, sure enough he knew this. “Speak!” He command
Everest.A day passed and I felt strange, I didn't encounter the stranger yesterday. And something in me felt so sad. I would have thanked him for his help, he had taken me around that day and it really helped. Today was the day when the results of yesterday's test would be announced. I felt so sad at the moment, because some contestants would be evicted from the Academy. I woke up early as usual and took my bath. But no matter how fast I was, I couldn't beat Adrienne. She was always up so early before anyone, I wondered if she did get a good amount of sleep. We both head to the canteen for breakfast and then to the Auditorium. It was normal for everyone to see us together, no one was making a fuss about it again, or couldn't it be the anxiety attached to the announcement of results? The whole hall was quiet as we waited for the king’s aide. This felt like an admission process into Highschool, since he had stated that it was a test and not a competition. Mister Roland walked into t
Everest Adrienne made her way gracefully to the stage, she collected her gift which was just the same as mine. I felt so happy seeing her win. When it came to Adrienne, I didn't see her as a competitor, I saw her as a true friend, I would always be happy when she wins. He did the same for the remaining set and before we knew it, it was almost time for lunch. “Classes would commence fully by tomorrow, you would be taught all there is to know. All the Textbooks and notebooks needed for your studies have been placed in your individual lockers. The time table would be placed in the notice board, so it's good to check them.” He instructed, we all gave an affirmative nod. This was more like my days in highschool, everyone here should be used to the system. I had expected that after all they would have to select the best for the princes, so Luna had to be skilled in every aspect. But was this my purpose? Was this really for me? I couldn't help but wonder. Something in me felt I belonged
