It feels like I could breathe again, that's the effect of Avery. I would trust her with every being in me no matter what, we grew up together, we've known each other since we were born.
"A happy reunion...well done brother" I hear Prince Addington's voice which made me turn around, only to be met by cold blue eyes which turned soft in an instant? ....no, I'm just imagining things.
"Looks like both of you have a lot to catch up on, we'll leave you guys alone" Prince Addington said
"Excuse Me?" Prince Amadeus asked
"Well, let's just go brother"
"No---" He stopped in his mid sentence as both of them stared into each other's eyes as if having a serious conversation.
"Fine"
With that both of them had once again left the room. I turned to Avery, confused as ever.
"What was that about?" I asked
She sighed and said
"Telepathy"
My brows shot up, wow, that's just wow.
"What now A?" I asked worried, how will we be able to escape the palace? There are loads of soldiers around, let's not forget that Prince Amadeus and Prince Addington is there too.
She smiled wickedly to which I shot my brow up,
"Easy peasy" She said as she held my hand and in an instant everything around me went black followed by me standing in my room? What?! Did we just....Did we just Teleport?!
My heart was beating wildly in my chest as I started laughing, we just teleported to our house! Wow! But I stopped as I saw Avery passed out on the floor. I gasped and sat beside her head,
"Avery? A? Wake up" I said as i sat down beside her only to find blood trickling down her nose. My heart started racing as tears trickled down my cheeks.
"Avery! Please wake up!" I said as I placed her head on my lap.
"Cora?" I heard dad's voice, I turned to see him standing at the doorway, his eyes fell on Avery and he walked towards us.
"What happened?" He asked
"She-she teleported u-us here....and pa-passed out" I cried
"She teleported?!" He asked as his eyes widened
I nodded,
"She'll be ok, right dad?" I asked
He visibly gulped and he said
"...I'm not sure''
My breath got caught in my throat,
"Go to your room and do not come down unless I ask you to" He said as he carried Avery in bridal style.
"Where are you taking her?" I asked as I stood up.
"To her family, I'm warning you Cordelia, do not come down unless I tell you to...no matter what" He said and I nodded even though it did not sound good, something bad is going to happen....Prince Amadeus will come for me and I had to get out of here in some way or the other.
I walked up to my room and locked the door and Windows as I sat on my bed covering myself with the duvet. Before I could stop myself, my eyes closed and I fell asleep. Avery will return.
"Cora!"
I woke up to dad's voice. I quickly unwrapped myself from the duvet and opened the door, I could see dad sitting on the couch from the first floor, he was way too nonchalant....something's wrong.
"Come down...Cora" He said and I walked down the stairs,
"Come Cora" He once again said..I spotted a bruise on his forehead and a split on his lower lip, I gulped as every cell in my body was restraining me from going towards him, I was genuinely scared, something feels off and dad's bruise is the proof. I hesitantly took a step forward,
"Come....Cara"
My eyes widened in realization, he said Cara so I had to run and hide somewhere. I ran back to my room and locked it
"You asshole!" I heard a powerful yell which made my stomach drop in my stomach, it was followed by dad's dreadful scream, my eyes started watering. Where do I hide?! I jumped as there was a bang on the door.
"Open the door!" It was Prince Amadeus, I gulped but it was painful as my throat was tying knots.
"Open the goddamn door before I knock it off myself"
The mirror of the dressing table! Avery had shown me this secret hiding place, I opened the window so that he would think that I ran off, the banging on the door increased and so did my heartbeat.
I quickly knocked at the mirror three times and it creaked a little, I opened it to find a good place for me to fit in, I sat in and closed the mirror door. The mirror was designed in such a way that the person outside couldn't see inside but the person inside could see the whole view of the outside.
The door was knocked down and came in a hungry wolf looking Prince Amadeus, I gulped as a bead of sweat rolled down at the back of my neck. He rushed into the bathroom and came out frustrated, he walked into my closet, checked under the bed, behind the curtains and stopped at the window. His hair moving along the with the cool breeze as the moonlight danced on his perfectly flawless skin, I wish I could meet him under the normal circumstances, but the reality is harsh and so is he. He turned around and my breath got caught in my throat as his eyes connected with mine, that's it he figured it out, he found me! Oh god! He passed his hand through his dark hair in frustration and sighed as he sat on my bed which was right in front of the mirror, I wasn't even breathing because I was afraid he could hear me.
"Stupid little girl" he murmured as he looked away and I scowled at him, stupid bad Prince.
His eyes widened and so did mine because he was right now staring at the mirror, that is me, a perfect smile broke on his face then he threw his head back and laughed. I'm dead, I thought, he regained his composure, smile never leaving his face as he drew out a sword from thin air and stabbed into the mirror, the tip of the sword stopped an inch before my stomach.
"Gotcha" he said proudly while I trembled in fear.
