Victoria fixed her hair in the mirror. She straightened her dress and gave herself one last look before turning and leaving her room, closing the door quietly behind her.
She looked around the empty halls. She was really enjoying the alone and quiet time.
Ugh. Why did this have to happen today?
she thought as she wandered aimlessly along.
"No Desmond. No." she heard Demona from a distance behind her.
She hustled down the hall but something told her to stop before turning the corner to the hall where Desmond's and Demona's bedrooms were.
The odd dynamic that was displayed at breakfast between the twins had peaked Victoria's curiosity.
She stayed concealed against the wall and listened.
"I can't believe it. Why, Desmond? Why would you do that to me? Demona argued.
She sounded like she was nearly in tears. There was no response from Desmond.
"Was I not good?" She continued.
"No Demona. That's not it." Desmond defended himself.
"Then what? Why Skye?" Demona continued to argue
"I don't know. It just...started happening." Desmond pleaded his case.
"How many times?" Demona continued her interrogation.
"Only a couple." Desmond answered.
"A couple?" Demona continued. "How many times, Desmond?"
Victoria wondered why Demona was so upset at Desmond and Skye. They kind of made a good couple. Skye was a very beautiful princess and Desmond was quite possibly the most attractive young man in all the kingdoms.
"Five times." He answered.
"Five. And what about us? When was the last time you came to see me?" Demona went on.
This peaked Victoria's interest.
What about them?
she thought to herself.
"All those times I had you in my room. What happened? Lately, you've been avoiding it, all the while flirting with Skye and flaunting it in my face." Demona whined.
Victoria's eyes widened.
Had him in her room? Was she talking about, that?
"I'm sorry, Demona. But what do you expect me to do?" Desmond pleased again.
Demona sighed.
Victoria stood silently, eagerly awaiting the answer.
"Well, I mean. Why do have to keep having Skye over when...when I'm right here?" Demona responded.
