20 Chapter 20

When I looked up at my savior I found Tobias, no Elliot staring back at me. I got out of boy 2's lap and ran to him. He picked me up and started running in the direction I had come. "Why did you run away?" Elliot asked. "I don't like you. I want to marry for love not because I'm being forced to." I confessed. "But you're mine. You can learn to love me." Elliot growled. I'd rather not. I still have a mission to complete. "Can I at least go home?" I pleaded. "For what? The movers are already moving your things. Besides I can buy everything you need." The thought of people touching my things angered me. "I can pack my own things." I snapped. "You're going to be queen now. No need for you to do domestic work." Elliot scoffed. "Put me down." I fought my way out of his grip. "I'll walk." I stomped towards the tall spires in the sky.

Who decided men could rule my life? I hated it. I still had to find out where my sister was taken. It wasn't fair. I needed to make Elliot not want me. Or maybe this would work out in my favor. I could use my power to go to Naneska. That was the only benefit of our union. The closer I got to the palace the more my dread grew. I can't imagine how disappointed Noah would be. I really wish we could have had more time together.
