527 Words
Maria and Natasha finished preparing dinner and called everyone.
“Where is Emma?” Sebastian asked.
“She is coming, we just called her,” Natasha replied.
They sat down and started eating. After a few minutes, Emma come.
“Hey, Sebastian,” she said cheerfully.
“Hey, Emma. You good?” Sebastian replied.
“Yeah, I’m good, and you?”
“Well, a few injuries but I’m good.”
“What happened? These two,” she pointed at Trevor and Maris, “just told me you went to take care of something.”
“I don’t even know where to start from,” he said, mouth full.
“Well, just the important parts. Like who kicked your ass?” Emma said, taking her share of the chicken from the saving pot.
“Charles and those two friends of his.”
“Mulenga and Alinani,” she answered.
“How do you even know their names? You even know Siobhan,” Trevor said.
“Well, my father was involved in a lot of things. So I usually mentioned them.” Emma replied.
Minutes ticked for a heartbeat then.
“Do you know anything about Charles’s breathing fire?”
She waited until she swallowed her food then, “he belongs to the royal family. Why do you think he is an alpha?” Emma said.
“I thought you have to battle for the position?” Natasha said, looking confused.
“This is the problem with you kids. You think everything you watch on television is what happens,” Richard said.
They all spun and gazed at him, since the man said nothing until then. Willow barked, holding a plate in its mouth. They looked down, and it had those pup eyes.
“Maria, you forgot to feed him,” Trevor said in a low tone as he could.
“Oh, I forgot. Sorry boy, let me bring you something to eat,” she got up and went to the kitchen.
They all swung back and continued eating. After a couple of minutes, she came with Willow’s food. Put it on its plate and it started enjoying itself. If dogs were to speak, it would have been pressing Maria.
“Oh, no,” Sebastian said, touching his neck.
“What?” Natasha asked.
“The ring. Didn’t I give it to you?” He replied.
“No Seb, you didn’t,” Natasha replied.
He got up and started searching his pockets, but nothing. He went took the keys to Natasha’s car and went outside. The rest exchanged confused looks.
Natasha got up and followed.
Sebastian opened the car and entered inside. He checked from the dashboard, nothing; he opened that thing in the middle between the drives seat and the passengers still nothing. He sat down and started beating his head with his hands.
Natasha reached the car, tried to open the doors, but they were locked. She knocked on the window Sebastian looked and gestures for her to leave but she didn’t.
“Seb, open up!” she shouted.
