That night, Aleera couldnt sleep at all. She didnt know if it was because of all the butterflies in her stomach, or the tears that seemed to never stop. Eventually she exhausted herself and fell into a deep slumber.Kasenia sighed as she finally heard her sister stop crying. She wondered what had upset her so but she simply shurgged it off as almost being molested by that leech Jerrod. Making her way to her own chamber, the older girl noted that the sun would be rising soon.
Father and son left soon after their small conversation, retiring for the evening in their home for the last time in a while."Pack you things." The angered man sneered at his disobedient son. "Quickly."
Jerrod said nothing, but did as he was told. His father had quite the temper when he was angry, and wasn't opposed to striking in the middle of it.
They both readied themselves and went to sleep, Jerrod's thoughts on the silver thread as he tried to fall asleep.
"Aleera?" Lord Ardente asked his daughter, drawing her from her thoughts. "Its time we left. We need to prepare for the arrival of our.... guests." The red head nodded before asking something that had been bugging her."When are they arriving?"
"Tomorrow," Ardente replied, leading his daughters towards the doors. Aleera's face paled at that.
"Are you proud of yourself?" A rich voice from behind Jerrod made him jump. His faced paled as realization set in."Father.." He said softly, turning to face him. He kept his eyes downcast knowing what anger he would find in this cold man's eyes. "What do you mean... -father?" He adds as an after thought.
"What do I mean..?" The older man says darkly, the anger in his tone giving Jerrod the chills. "I mean the two weeks we're going to be staying in the Lord's home because of your foolish, -thoughtless- shenanigans..!"
Jerrod's face paled.
As Jerrod wandered, Aleera sat at her fathers table, a frown etched into her features. Two weeks. Two whole weeks he'd be living under the same roof as her. Her sister had been the one to tell her in the end, saying 'That swine and his father will be staying with us by order of the King'. She almost wanted to yell. Fate really was having some fun with this.Jerrod wandered th gardens for at least an hour in his solitude before returning to the ballroom, his whole attitude quiet and reserved now.One of his previous affairs spotted him and approached him, smiling and flirting to try and keep his attention.. but all he did was softly respond with very little enthusiasm. She eventually took the hint and bid him goodnight, going off to pout somewhere.
Aleera watched him go for a moment before shaking his head. She could feel a little of his hurt but she had made it clear she needed time. And a way around her father.Re-entering the ballroom, she made her way to her fathers table to find him fuming.
"Daddy?" she asked hesitantly. "What is it?"
Aleera held her breath for a moment before releasing a sigh. She shook her head before replying."Look, I have to go find my father. If Kasenia tells him what she saw.... I'm dead," she said. "Just, give me some time to think about this. I need to sort this out my own way."
Aleera sighed but stayed put nonetheless. She turned to look at him with an exasperated expression."What?" she asked, trying not to sound too harsh.
"Really?" Aleera asked, crossing her arms. "thats funny because I dont remember making an deals with jackasses." She then turned with every intention of leaving. She'd find Kasenia and make her father take them home."What the hell is wrong with you?!" Aleera yelled, finally ripping her hand from Jerrod's grasp. She was breathing rather heavily from the exertion."That was my sister!" she added, a glare punctuating it.
Jerrod nearly jumped out of his skin before he laughed. "Come on!" He shouted, still holding Aleera's hand as he took off running, pulling her in tow.Out the ballroom doors and down the stairs to the outside, he kept forcing her to run until they had made it clear into the gardens where there were plenty of dark shadows to hide in if anyone was fast enough to follow them there..
Aleera was all set to struggle against her captor until she heard his words. Run away? Could she? Mentally slapping herself she stopped. He said 'if she fell in love' with him. Who's to say she would? Before she could ask herself that question, Kasenia's voice broke out."You distgustiung little leech! Get your hands off of my sister!" she practically screamed, no doubt drawing the attention of many in the ballroom behind her.
A smile spread to her face as she passes him. From all of his late night excursions, he had nearly perfected walking silently.. and he did as he followed behind her, waiting for the right moment to..He grabbed her from behind, holding her arms behind her back by the wrists with one hand, his other rover her mouth in case she tried to yell. "You're coming with me. One hour. If you don't fall madly in love with me, I'll let you go and let you marry that stiff ass -Arren-. But if you do.. then run away with me.."
