Chapter 101 Sitting up in my room
Alessias POV
It wasn't hard for me to locate our room its as if with my newly reawakened powers I have a mental road map of the entire coven. I don't know if it's like that for everyone and I tuck my knowledge into the back of my mind for later. I reach the room in record time shutting the door firmly behind me. Walking toward the sofa, I settle in and let me tears run freely..
It's weird how time time loses all significance when you are unhappy. I don't know how long I have been staring at the walls listlessly the scene I walked into earlier playing continously in my head as if it's set on playback.I wipe my tears reaching for a wad of tissue on the center table and wiping my nose. I thought today will be one of the happiest days of my life its quite unfortunate that it ended this way.
Looking towards the window I gasp aloud as I noticed the sky has grown darker, the night is pitch black with no stars in sight just like my mood.
Dark
Gloomy
Eerie
Heartbroken
Sighing I lazily get off the sofa and flick on the lights. I am not in the mood to use my power to Switch on the lanterns it's nice that the rooms have electricity too. I cross over to the sofa and settle in it again. Again the vision returns as if I am cursed to replay it in my mind.
\-Alex and the two witches one palazzo clad witch gyrating her hips in front of him
\-One leaning over his shoulder pressing her ample
Bosom on his chest
\-Alex staring languishly
Argh!!! I scream out in to the empty room,Snap out of it Alessia, it happened but you will be fine you have to .
“You are the last princess if La Casa your life can't endbecause you caught Alex in a compromising situation you have much bigger fish to fry”
I utter the words out loud into the empty room but they do nothing to improve my mood. Reaching for the remote I switch on the television any distractions are welcome. Picking a telenovela I increased the volume and stare at the people on the screen determined to forget everything even for a moment. Just as it seems to be working I hear a gentle knock on the door and my breath catches in my throat.
Is that Alex? Don't tell me he is here to beg me? Do I want him
To bdg me? Will I accept?
My heart is torn between wanting him and missing him I can't even - .There the knock is again gentle and persistent squaring my shoulders I get up and walk towards the door mind racing with dreads and equal parts apprehension. I reach for the door and grab it open forcefully.
Mara takes a step back her eyebrows raised. Inwardly I groan I have scared the poor woman I put a fake smile on my face “Princess Sorry to disturb you she says softly”
I know why she is here, Enya told me its almost dinner time after all. The coven must be stirring everyone is seated getting ready to eat. “The high priestress sent me to fetch you for dinner” she adds
I take a deep breath as hysteria threatens to bubble out of my throat. Who can even eat in this situation ?My magic stirs in my belly sensing my disturbed emotions. “I will not be joining you for Dinner tonight” I say calmly
No way am I giving the coven something to talk about, I am sure the two witches would have started wagging their tongues already.
Mara blinks her eyes filling with shock “Excuse Me princess?”
“Yes Mara you heard me right” I continue evenly “Can you have my meal sent up to my room?”
She pauses blinking rapidly “ I don't think the high priestress will be to happy with your-”
“I will talk to Enya tomorrow morning” I interrupt her gently “Tonight I want to eat alone, I need solace.”
Mara looks at me for a short while
“What about Signore Ferrini and co? Will they be joining us?” She asks for a moment
I tense as his name causing my heart to twist in pain “You can find him and let him know, I am not his keeper.”
My words are cold and calm. My voice does not even shake even though my heart is in shambles and my chest aches.One more thing I raise my eyes to her “Send someone to help Signore Alex move his belongings to the adjacent room.” Perhaps he can switch places with Angelica I don't really care but I just need him gone for a while. While I do my best to untangle the broken mess of my heart .
Mara bows a bit in respect, I eye her warily surprised that she is able to keep a neutral expression on her face when I am sure she is burning with curiosity “Your wish is my command princess, I will send a girl with a hot plate to you shortly”
She takes a step back and waits as I shut the door calmly. I walk back to the sofa as the dinner bells start to chime faintly. I imagine the large boisterous dining hall filling up as all the coven members slip into their seats for a hot meal and Enya presides at the head with the high council members flanking her left and right .A slight bitter sweet feeling of nostalgia fills me. I haven't been here long but I have started to look forward to the meal times I feel a sense of belonging for the first time in my life .
For a moment I consider catching up with Mara but I immediately discard the thoughts.I can't face Alex not now,not this soon after his betrayal. Staring at my palms my fire erupts hovering on the surface without me even drawing it out .I am more sure now that I made the right choice because its clearly obvious, My heart cannot take seeing him I am Likely to burn him Crisp on the spot!
