Shortly after all of the guests had arrived, a speech was prepared by the King and Queen, proudly announcing the surprising news that they were going to have twins.
The news sent the room in a frenzy of congratulations and claps, happy for them. Only a few realized the horrible implications this would have, especially on the human. Soon, the room was filled with lively chatter as everyone enjoyed their dinner.
Adeline was hungry. Lately, she had been consuming much more food than ever before, putting one strange combination after the other into her mouth, like pickles dipped into peanut butter and watermelon with soy sauce. She had received odd, but amused glances from Elias whenever she had a bizarre midnight snack.
"Was it good?" Elias teased, referring to the plate she had completely demolished. To the other people, she ate at a moderate pace. But Elias was used to her playing with the food, thus, smiled when she ate quickly.
