                                           Prologue

I gazed into the colorful, fading sky. The purples and reds and oranges danced as the sun retired. Was this heaven, I mused. It must be, considering the one person that I have always loved, has their arms around me. I grinned at the thought, and turned around to look into those handsome, incredibly bright blue eyes.

Johnathan gave me a cheeky grin and kissed my cheek, and instantly he summoned that crimson color to spread across my normally pale, thin cheeks. He laughed at my reaction and ruffled my hair playfully. I scowled at him and punched his arm lightly, rearranging my dress. He rolled my eyes and pulled me into a rib-breaking hug. I gasped for breathe and muttered words in a highly distressed voice,

"Gwedt ooff meah ywouf fwoolf." He laughed and released me and took my hand, running his warm fingers over my long, thin, pale, always-freezing fingers. We watched the remains of the warmth and light of the sun withdraw, until the ever-shining stars came out and twinkled, as I drifted in his arms.

Snap out of it, Rose! For all he could care or know your dead. Your dead to him.

That's what I told myself, almost every moment of every day. Everytime I thought of him. And everytime my heart broke again. My love meant nothing. It was a childhood romance, one you musn't think of. It doesn't matter. Your getting married and your imagining your child-hood lover. One that's forgotten you.

It's been six years. Since I was whisked away from everything I ever knew. All I had was memories, and the few possesions I packed before I was brought to this hell-house. I now live in a castle.

It may seem wonderful, and magical; but it isn't. They try to cram the knowledge of the world into your brain. Your forced to wear tight corsets, that make it impossible to breathe. You have to learn proper etiquette, and get all the dirty glances for doing something wrong. Or simply because I wasn't there the last sixteen years.

*You see, I grew up with my mother in the country-side, since I was a mere baby 'till I was sixteen. My mother died when I was fourteen. After that night with Johnathan, I was aroused in the morning with knights at the end of my bed. My father, who had been non-existent in my life, was summoning his only daughter, to be a princess.

He took off all contact, from anyone I had known before. Meaning it included Johnathan. But, now he has arranged for me to marry. So I could become Queen, and I couldn't refuse it. I've tried to forget Johnathan in the last three years, but it has proved to be impossible. Now, he has filled my every single thought-including my dreams.

I feel like I'm betraying him, though I can't help an arranged marriage. I haven't even met my soon-to-be-husband! But, now you and Johnathan are over. It's time for a new beggining, though it won't be full of love.

Thank you for reading. Please tell me if you'd like for me to continue. It's going to be a forbidden romance, and yes, it seems very cliched, but I'll try not to make it too cliched. But, there has to be cliched stories!
