《Sway(Wattys 2015)》How did you know

Mr Stone.
This isn't good , I wasn't aware I was biting the inside of my cheek until the taste of blood filled my mouth.He's going to think I've been snooping around, but I wasn't I was with Ana.
"What are you doing in here?" ignoring him was not a good idea so with tiny ounce of courage I had left I spoke.
"Well I- me and- " I took a deep breath to compose myself before I embarrass myself any further.
"I'm so sorry Mr Stone, your mother Lady Stone asked me to watch Anastasia because she waned to play with me ,so we got something to eat, then we played some games and I was counting so she hid then when I found her she ran in here so that's why I'm here, I swear I didn't take anything.Im really sorry" i finally to a breath after that long speech. His facial expressions weren't giving anything.
He just stood there looking at me,the silence was torture ,as much as it scares me I'd rather be shouted at.
He slowly walked towards me , his eyes not leaving mine.He slammed his hands down on the desk causing me to jump and scream at the same time.His smirk grew wider as he slowly pushed the wooden desk towards me.
It was getting closer and closer until I ended up pinned against the wall. The side of the desk was beginning to crush my pelvis , he wasn't going to stop so I tried to push the table back towards him.It obviously wasn't working. It only made his smirk grow wider.When the desk wouldn't move any more he stopped , but his hands still remained on the desk.
And again there was silence.I looked him up and down trying to figure what he was going to do next, but ended up getting distracted by his beauty.He was in a black suit, I figured it must be a vampire thing because that's all they ever wear.His hair was in a perfect quiff ,as weird as it might sound he had really attractive hands.He wore a silver ring on his middle finger.A gold bracelet on his left hand and a gold watch on his right.It was like he was hand crafted by gods, every detail about him was perfect.To his well groomed hair , to the shine on his shoes.What I would do for a man like that ....

"Didn't you're parents ever teach you to mind you're own business?"
"Yeah, but it's not -"
"Did I ask you to speak ?" I shook my head
"This is my house and I don't appreciate people invading my personal space.You're very lucky , it's my sisters fault you're in this situation.Anastasia is sat outside, when I move this desk ,you're going to go outside and continue what you were doing , understood."
"Yes"
"Yes what?"
"Yes Mr Stone" In one quick move the desk was pulled back to its original place and I scrambled out the door.
I grabbed Ana and took her back to her parents.I explained that I was feeling sick ,but missing out the fact that her brother is to blame. Thankfully she agreed to go back .
It was 1:00 pm when ,we reached the the lounge area again.Anastasia insisted I gave her a piggy back ride, she didn't way very much but her constant movement made it hard for me to carry her.
When we arrived she and her parents convinced me to stay and eat with them and the other royal vampires.
I sat down on the end of the table with Ana. As much as I would rather be seated with someone my own age , she was the only company I had and I was grateful for that.
The chefs walked in with our meals, it was tomato soup. It was very surprising to see the most powerful vampires in the world eating tomato soup.
To my amusement Ana was licking the soup from the bowl like an animal.When I questioned her she insisted I tried it. I looked around to make sure no one was looking before I dipped my tongue into the bowl.
The room was filled with Anastasia's giggles.It caused everyone to look towards us. Disapproval and disgust was shown on there faces,not just because I was a human but because I was sat with them.They clearly didn't like it.
--------
After the meal me and Ana went to go and find her parents.She pulled me along , her tiny hand gripping onto my slightly larger one. As weird as it sounds I felt safe with her, she was the only reason why these vampires haven't attacked and killed me yet.
With Rose and Hunter in sight , I felt her grip get tighter but to my surprise I felt myself being pulled in a different direction.I tried to pull against her but it was no use. When I turned round I found myself standing in front of a load of vampires, 7 to be exact. Mr Stone stood in the middle , with his right hand in his pocket and a glass of whiskey and ice in the other. I also recognised three others.Colt,Cyrus and the man I bumped into this morning in the lounge.

"Ivy!" Ana shouted whilst she jumped into his arms.
"Hello"
She greeted the other vampires the same way.When she finished she skipped back towards me and pulled me towards the men.
"No Ana stop , I'm fine here"
"Come on Rolo ...I want you to meet them , there my friends to" she defended
She finally gave up and ran back to them. I sighed in relief as I waited for her to return. I looked over to see her whispering something in Ivan's ear. He nodded his head and proceeded to pinky promise with her. She ran back over to me.
"Rolo come on"
"No I don't want to Ana"
She looked up at me and began to cry.I immediately felt guilty.
"Ok" she clapped her hands and ran back to the men, she signalled for me to come on. I'm not a genius but I'm pretty sure I've jut been played by a 6 year old .
I look over to the men who are looking at me, I take a deep breath before I started walking towards them.
Ana came over and held my hand.
"This is Rolo"
They all looked at me with amusement ,some even chuckled to themselves.
"Errr ... it's Rogue" I corrected
"This is my brother "
I nodded my head and pulled of the most convincing smile I could.
He removes his right hand from his pocket then positions it towards me .
"Rogue" I put my hands in his and proceeded to shake his hand.It only lasted for a second but it felt like an eternity.
"Mr Stone"
"These are his smelly friends" giggled Ana.Colt growled at Ana and tickled her.I was trying my best not to laugh, the most feared beings on the planet have a soft spot for children.
"Hello" they nodded in response.
The whole situation consisted of awkward smiles, nodding and avoiding eye contact.Thankfully after a while they began to talk about something else .Me being the nosey person I am decided to listen in. They were talking about a job at club RED, I was quite familiar with that place I used to clean there before the place got so popular.
One of the men told Mr stone that they needed bait. I had no idea what that meant but it obviously wasn't good.They also talked about a secret entrance ,at first I didn't click,but I remembered there was a mirrored door in one of the booths.I found it when I was cleaning it and one of the panels went in then it opened ,however I was to scared to go in so I just shut it an never told anyone.
I heard Colt tell them that Ivan couldn't see it and they didn't know where it was.I immediately stopped playing with Ana. For some reason I had convinced myself that telling them would be a bad idea but my big mouth got the better of me.
"The booth" I prayed none of them heard me as I continued to play with Ana. But when I looked at them all of them had their eyes on me.
"Who do you think you are? do you always listen to peoples conversations?" the blonde hair vampire said
"Chris stop" So Chris is the one i met in the lounge, he clearly doesn't like me or humans in general.
"What did you say ?" asked Cyrus.Cyrus had blonde hair and amber eyes ,he was built just like the other vampires.
I cleared my throat before I continued to speak.
"I'm sorry , he's right I shouldn't be listening"
"What did you say" he repeated but in a harsher tone
"There's a hidden entrance in the Crimson room, the one behind the mirror in the booth.Sir" They all stared at each other with curiosity,not one of them made a sound.One of the vampires leaned over to whisper something in Ivan's ear.His eyes scanned my body up an down.It sent chills up my spine.Since no one was talking I decided to carry on.
"I used to work there sometimes,it was only me there and I touched the panels and it opened, but I didn't go in" I quickly added.
The sound of Nicole calling my name distracted me from the vampires.
"Excuse me" I grabbed Ana and took her back to her parents.Talk was kept to the minimum ,I assured them I would look after Anastasia any time,they thanked me then I left.
"Nicole!" I ran and gave her a hug , thankful to see her.

Other Tales of En
Welcome to The Other Tales of En, a place where I put short stories that didn't get to be told in the main series. These are scenes and tales of characters I just had to have more of, moments I needed to see, and self-indulgent interactions. I hope you love them as much as I do! Chapters are labelled with initials of the Tale first and have notes for their beginning and end. Any chance of spoilers are listed for each tale below as well as their initials. TABLE OF CONTENTS Tale 1: Taff and Adon (T&A) The tale of when Taff and Adon first met. Slight spoilers for Starchild but not really, let's just say Adon's version of the story in Stormspeaker wasn't *quite* accurate ;) Tale 2: Vai and Echa (V&E) The tale of the meeting everyone tried to prevent. It was bound to happen and this is how it went. Spoilers for Children of the Bear, particularly Fiona's Tale, I recommend reading when you are finished with that series.
