Unlocking Adeline (Skeleton Key)
“This, I was kind of happy about because I was actually starving.
I plaster a ladylike smile on my face, as Ellie drags me away from Christof and off to my assigned seat. I go to sit down when a girl runs at me. Before I have the chance to get defensive, she starts lifting up my dress. “What the hell are you doing?” I bark as she gapes at me.
“I’m lifting yer dress so it does not wrinkle while ye sit, Miss.”
Oh. “Oh, yeah.” Dummy. I mean, who doesn’t know that? Oh, I know! The ones who skipped h...igh school history! Not that they wrote about a woman’s attire or 1900’s decorum in it. I turn, allowing her to ‘poof my skirt’ and I sit. Once I’m seated, Christof’s father, William, nods and an army of servants flood the room with mounds and mounds of trays.
The table, about a mile long, is filled to the brim with food and guests. As the brother duo is placed across the table from me, I sit with Ellie to my left and a girl who looks to be about my age to my right. She is, in modern times what we call, snarling at me.MoreLess
