And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

"Fuck my brother!" I exclaimed with a smirk. "I extend a formal invitation to you, Trixie. Will you eat with me?"

Her mouth opened and closed as she glanced around the room at those who entered, taking their places. A sigh escaped her before she quietly nodded in agreement. "It would be rude to refuse royalty," she whispered, causing me to glance at her in confusion. "What royalty?" Before she could answer me, I thought my brother's voice sounded from behind us, and I glanced over my shoulder to look at him.

"Who is this in my seat-" Pollux's words were cut off as Trixie turned to look at him. He became speechless and with confusion I glanced at her as she looked at me as if asking what his problem was.

"Dude, go find somewhere else to sit. Trixie is joining me."

Usually, my brother would have argued. Hell, he would have demanded she be removed from the chair, but instead he moved towards the farthest end of the table without so much as a word from his mouth, which I found completely odd considering he was usually a dick. "What was that all about?" she murmured, pulling my gaze from where my brother had gone to sit. His eyes cast down, and a frown marred his lips, as if he was troubled in some way.

"I don't have the slightest fucking clue, honestly."

"Good evening, everyone!" Odin's voice bellowed throughout the hall as he entered with his arms open and a smile on his face. "Tonight is a very special night."

Watching the white bearded man, who proclaimed himself to be my grandfather, enter the hall like the king he was, was indeed admirable, but something about him made my inner self want to claw its way out.

But the moment he took his seat, and spoke softly to two other men I wasn't familiar with, I tried to dive
