Chapter Eleven

961 Words
"What are they doing here?" Peter says, crossing his arms. "I don't recall adding them to the Peter's squad group chat." He sits down on the bed with a huff, not even removing his eyes on the additional three companions that we now have. He points at Dexter and Caleb who are sitting at the far corner of the room. "They, I can tolerate." Then proceeds on pointing at Melanie. "Her? No, thank you." Melanie rolls her eyes. "We are not here for you." Peter gasps dramatically and looks at Onyx and I for support. "Did you hear what the whale said to me?" "I am not a whale." He took a glance at her. "You are." "No, I am not." "You are." "I am —" "Will you two stop it." Trevor says, taking a sit beside Dexter who nods at him. "Peter, apologize to Melanie on calling her a whale." "But she is a whale." He whines, eyes narrowing into slits. "I hate whales." "I'm throwing a party if those two end up as mates." Onyx whispers, holding my hand and covering it with a pillow. "It'll be Peter's funeral and not a party." I murmured back, smiling at him. "You heard your friend.." Melanie smirks, eyeing Peter up and down. "..apologize." "Over my dead body, whale!" "Asshole!" "Whale!" "Dork!" "Whale!" He settles between Onyx and I, but gave us a meaningful glance before focusing on Melanie again. "Your words can't hurt me. I'm Halsey's f*****g best friend and she's got the worst mouth that even your great great great grandfather would be left speechless!" Trevor and Ericka laughs. Totally agreeing Peter's words. Traitors. "Okay. Enough. Can we all just get along? Melanie, apologize to Halsey..." Onyx trails off, eyes darting towards me for a second before awkwardly moving away from Peter since his face is close to his. "...and Peter." "You heard that? Apologize to me." Peter says with a smug tone. "...and Halsey." Melanie sighs and adjusts her dress. She starts to walk towards Onyx with a sultry smile but Dexter grabs her hand and shakes his head. "No more teasing, Mel. Just apologize to them so that we can all celebrate together." Caleb said, giving me a small smile in which I return. He's not as bad as I thought he would be. Maybe it's just Melanie. Hmm. Yeah. "I'm.." She mumbles, looking down before stomping her heels. "... leaving and definitely not sorry!" We all watch in amusement as she struggle to open the double doors. Onyx scoffs and helps her open the door and gestured her to leave. "It was nice fighting with you, whale!" Peter yells, cupping both his hands on his mouth. "f**k you — oh my god! Sorry, your highness!" We all laugh at her expense. That's a memory you will never forget. A few minutes after, King Magnus appears with a raise eyebrow. We all straighten up and give him our best innocent smiles. "Don't act innocent. We all know, all of you are not." He grins, "Halsey and Onyx kissed so they are not innocent anymore." I smack Peter's arm and he clutches it immediately. "And they are holding hands underneath the pillow too!" He tries to get the pillow but Onyx tackled him into the bed and laughs as he accidentally hit his stomach causing him to yell in pain. "I'm being harrassed by your son!" King Magnus just laughs and waves before leaving us all. "The King just ignored me! Oh god, please, I'm ticklish." Onyx starts to poke his sides as he tries to escape his hold. Howling in laughter but stops when he notices four more people advancing, their fingers twitching and eyes gleam with mischief. "No!" He screams. I stand up from my position and made my way towards the doors to go to the kitchen. "Hals! Oh God. Have mercy on me!" The kitchen is packed and all of the maids are busy on preparing for the feast tomorrow. I silently tiptoed my way to the fridge when a hand lands on my shoulder. I grin as I turn to see Myla, a young servant who is also a dear friend of mine. "Are you hungry?" She asks, pulling a basket full of newly baked bread. The smell is heavenly that I want to snatch everything and put it on my mouth. "We are already preparing a meal for all of you as requested by Prince Onyx." I nod. "Will there be steak?" "He specified that your steak should be fully cooked." She leans against the counter, arms crossed and eyes focused on me. "You're ready." "Yup. I'm ready to eat." I said proudly, tapping my stomach. She laughs but it got cut off by a loud voice coming from the halls. I excused myself and see a boarder patrol running with a frantic look on his eyes. "Michael? What's wrong?" I asks, tryinh to calm him down but he keeps on looking at his back as if someone is chasing him. "Hey, you're okay." He breaths out and grabs both my shoulders. I winced as his fingers dug on my skin. "I-I saw something." "What did you saw?" Onyx voice echoed as he approach us. "Let her go, Michael. You're hurting her." He lets go and whispers an apology. I grab his hand and gently squeeze it. "It's fine. What did you saw?" "I don't know. It was fast. Awful smell and..." He trembles a bit. "It looked at me. The first thing I saw was it's e-eyes. It was white, no iris." "Are you sure? Maybe it's a rogue wolf?" Onyx states, but Michael shakes his head. "I saw it a few meters away from the entrance of the Dark forest."
