Forever And A
Day
Chapter
Fifty-Six~Kelsey
The
teachers herded everyone to the library, and at first we
didn't know why.
Joey, Quinn, and Bridget walked with me.
The library was huge, so the whole school could easily fit
inside. The teachers hushed all the students and I exchanged a
look with Quinn. The TV was on, and suddenly the reason why we
were here was clear.
No one explained, we just watched.
I knew he wasn't there in person, but when I saw him on the
screen, my heart still started to race.
He was wearing a suit. He walked up to the podium with Charlotte
right behind him.
He looked at her sadly and then looked out to the crowd.
I imagined what he could be seeing, hundreds of people with
microphones and cameras flashing.
"He's scared," Joey whispered. I sighed. I hoped he
was remembering what I had said to him. I have faith in you.
He cleared his throat and started his speech.
"You've probably heard by now, my brother and his wife
are missing. Somebody lit a fire outside their house in the
backyard of the palace a few hours ago, and since then, no one
can find them. There's been a thorough search of the
debris and the bodies haven't been located. The royal guard
and Michaud police have concluded that
they did not die in the fire, and if they did, the bodies have
been taken. As for their children, they are safe and are at
Michaud General as a precaution. The
entire city has been shut down, and the police are working on
closing the entire country. There will be no
transportation in and out of the country. The royal guard is
working hard to find Kate and Alex, and they will find them.
Because I'm Alex's heir, I have to step in until they
find him. We'll keep you updated with everything.
Thanks."
Cameras flashed furiously, and Charlotte put her hand on his
back. Mrs. Ermerson shut off the TV.
There was silence. Maybe nobody knew what to say. Maybe no one
felt like talking.
"All students can proceed to homeroom to get ready for
dismissal," the principal said.
Everyone stood up silently, and with still no one talking, went
back to homeroom as quietly as possible.
Sorry I haven't written in a while! Thanks for commenting |
