After supper I tried to escape to my room, but Elliot grabbed me. "We've got to spend some time together. How else am I going to get you to fall in love with me?" He purred. I rolled my eyes at him. "Just remember if you can't do it I'm leaving." Elliot rolled his eyes. Elliot led me down a maze of hallways until we reached a set of grand doors. He pulled me through them. A beautiful garden lay in front of us. "Good we're alone. Now I can. . ." Elliot trailed off looking at me. "What?" I asked biting my lip nervously. "Can I kiss you?" Elliot asked. I blushed and shook my head. "Shame. . . Cause I'm going to kiss you anyway." Elliot put an arm around my waist and pulled me close. "Don't." I breathed. "Already doing it." He leaned in and I turned my head away from him. He ended up kissing my cheek. When he noticed he pulled back and frowned. "Fine I won't kiss you. Let's talk."
He led me to a bench surrounded by rose bushes and together we sat down. "Do you have any siblings?" Elliot asked. I winced. Really. "Yes." I said tightly. "Where are they?" I winced again. "I don't know." I mumbled. "What do you mean you don't know?" Elliot asked. "My sister Mialese was kidnapped four years ago. I don't even know if she's alive." I said, my voice getting quieter and smaller.
