discuss this later”.
There was an uncomfortable silence as Ginger got up and walked out the room which seemed natural even if she wasn’t quite ready to tell yet. Diego was there so together she managed to go back to the room. Once dinner was over he came and joined her. Ginger told him everything and it felt like a weigh had been taken off her shoulder.
Ginger was still hungry from her abrupt exit and ordered a meal. Within twenty minutes a tray was brought up and it would take some time for them to ease into kingdom life. True Diego had visited but wasn’t accustomed to living like royalty. A few minutes after eating she needed to talk to Lucy.
During dinner Victor was keeping everyone’s spirits high. He somehow managed to keep the attention drawn on him which Ginger was thankful for. She needed time to sort through everything and appreciated his company. She wanted to avenge her parent’s murder and talk to Lucy about her abilities. Before leaving for her room she pasted Diego a look that let him communicate through a psychic telepathic bond. She wondered if Victor knew something before she took off to find Lucy so they could talk in private. She was in the dinning hall waiting for her when she walked in.
Ginger asks, “We need to talk”.
Lucy responded, “Good. Been waiting a while wondering when you were going to show”.
This was the point Ginger guess that Victor showed Diego to their rooms while Lucy spoke to Caleb about meetings he had the next morning.
Lucy said, “Amazing. When you concentrate you can easily read my mind. We need to develop that but yes I had business I needed to consult the king about”.
For some reason Lucy seemed more than an advisor, like a secretary to the king. Ginger could image a fight against her and it wouldn’t end pleasantly for her opponent.
Lucy laughs before said, “No it wouldn’t! I would wipe the floor with you”.
Ginger didn’t back down as she glared at her sizing her up.
Ginger responded, “You sure about that”?
Lucy answers, “We can test who is the better warrior another time perhaps tomorrow in the gym”.
Ginger says, “Looking forward to that”.
Lucy responds, “So eager to be beaten. Let’s go for a walk”.
Ginger tells her, “Why?”
Lucy says, “Let me show you around the castle”.
She did indeed show her the entire castle. It has everything. From a pool to kitchen, spa to a small mall. There was a movie room, she felt like this is how the rich lived and loved it all.
Ginger says, “That was fun. Thanks”.
Lucy responds,“ Such in a rush to get to your boy toy. Must be hormones that were flaring during dinner I sensed.
Ginger answers, “Funny. Bye”.
Ginger starts to walk off before Lucy calls her.
Lucy says, “Just teasing you. I feel like you’re my kid sister. You’ll get use to it”.
Ginger responds, “And if I don’t. Will you cut it out”?
Lucy answers, “Probably not”.
Lucy laughs as she walks off.
Chapter 17:
Never had Ginger considered having sex before talking to her mom that had always been the plan as she walked back to her room. Things had changed so much in a short time that she felt so alone. She was surrounded by a kingdom full of people ones she didn’t know and at that moment she missed her bestfriends desperately.
Ginger thought, “What was Frost doing and how did Hannah always managed to pop up when she needed her most. These were questions she needed answers to along with who would want to kill her parents“?
The whole night Ginger tossed and turned unable to become comfortable in this unfamiliar place. The next morning Diego was at her side with a cup of tea and a bagel. She accepted them sitting them aside to do her morning yoga and Pilates routine. Diego
