Part 2 Meeria

"Everybody wake up!" The men yelled.

 I sighed and stretched. I shook my softly sister

 "Wake up."

 She opened her eyes and rubbed them.

 I smiled ,"Good morning."

She gave me a sad smile, "Good morning."

She sat up still looking sleepy. One of the men yanked me up and tied me back to the camel. Then tied my sister next to me. We stood side by side. I could feel my stomach growling. I'm so hungry. They didn't even feed us this morning or give us water. I sighed. I looked around as the men packed everything up, and put everything on the back of the camel. Everybody got on the camel and started to ride them. I had a feeling that we are going to be walking for a long time. I prepare myself for the long walk. The desert looked never ending. Nothing but sand. Hopefully our travel ends soon. We walked in silence everyone did. What could we say? If we talk about home we would just get home sick. It's just better if we didn't talk during our journey.

It felt like we have been walking for hours when I started to see a huge kingdom. Even being as far as we were, it still look huge. I guess we are going there.

One of the men said "There it is."

 Everybody was trying to look at. I never seen anything that big, our village was pretty small. Compared to this, the village looked like nothing. I wonder why they are taking us here.

We walked about another hour or two. We got up to the huge palace. I stood there in amazement. But got tug by the camel who was pulling me. We walked up to the huge wall that wrapped around the kingdom.

One man spoke "Let us in. We have the girls."

 As soon as he said that the huge gate lifted up from the dusty ground. I never seen a town so big and beautiful. The towns people looked so different. Well compared to my town they dressed way better even the poorer people did. I looked around. They were little kids running around and people running there shops. Everyone just stopped and stared at us when we walked pass all tied up. They probably thought we were some kind of bad people. To be honest I look at them as the bad people. Even though I knew that they aren't the ones who took me from my father.

I look over at my sister. She look just as amazed as I did. I smiled a little. She looked a little happier. Being around the people felt good, even though we couldn't talk to them it just felt refreshing. It just gave me peace at mind. I'm scared out of my mind, of what they are going to do to us.

We stopped at the castle, which had another wall around it. When we got to it the gates swung open. The castle was so beautiful. There was a fountain in the middle of the walk way. Different animals running around. It was amazing. We walk through the walk way in front and up some stairs. We stopped at the door. The men started to untie us. A man walked out the doors leaving them open.

 His arms were stretched out and had a huge smile on his face, "Welcome! Welcome! Please follow me."

 His smile slightly annoyed me and so did his perfect smile. His olive skin looked perfect, everything about him was perfect. He had to be at least 20 something. I knew he wasn't the king, just the way he dressed, but he had to be someone important.

We followed him around the palace. "I'm so happy you guys made it safely."

 He look back and smiled. "Hope the travel wasn't too long. The prince will be so please to see all of you. Well not looking like that."

 He gave us a disgust look.

I interrupted "The prince wants to see us?"

 He chuckled "Of course he does. You guys travel far enough. And I'll be damned if you didn't. Plus one of you will be his lucky wife."

 My eyes widen. His wife? Meaning I'll be a princess or even a queen. I smirk a little. Wait I can't be his wife I need to go home.

 I frowned "What if I don't want to be his wife?"

 Everybody in the hall gasped. The man chuckled "Well if he did choose you, which I doubt it, then you wouldn't have a choice."

 I groaned and rolled my eyes.

 One of the girls whispered "She's crazy."

 I rolled my eyes at her comment. I'm not crazy I'm being realistic. I don't want to be a queen or a princess. My life was good before they took me. I was happy. Happy with my family and with everything.

"Well here's where you guys will be staying."

 He led us into a huge room full of other girls that looked my age. Some even younger. I grabbed my sisters hand and went by where the food is at.

 "I'm going to get us out of this." I whispered.

She gave me a shock looked "Why? what happens if me or you get chosen?"

 I gave her a serious look ,"What happen if we don't. We will be dead. Or even worse stuck here as a slave!" I tried to whispered but didn't really work.

I grabbed a apple and handed her it. She just looked scared. I grabbed another apple and took a bite out of it.

 I chewed and said "Mary don't worry I'm going to save you. And will be back home with papa."

I put my hand on her shoulder. I have her a reassuring smile. She looked at me a gave a small smile. I took another bite of the apple and started to walk around the huge room full of pillows and covers that had beautiful prints on them. I walked over to the balcony and sat on the side of it. I watched as a group of men walked in with a man nicely dressed. He was very attractive. His olive skin was perfect. His worry marks on his face made him look even better. His hair dark hair went to his shoulder. He had so much more confidence then the other guy. His confidence made me want to leap down and kiss him. He looked up as we made eye contact. My heart fell to my stomach, we just stared at each other. I looked away fast. I need to snap out of this. I tried my hardest to not to look back at him again. Finally I fought my stubbornness and looked back. I sighed in disappointment. Where did he go to so fast? I felt so angry at myself, I wish I could see him again. I want to see him again. I needed to talk to him. I need to know his name. I sighed again. I'm probably never going to see him again. I don't know why that hurt so much knowing I would probably never see him again. Thinking about it made me want to cry. I just want to see him. I looked back inside at all the girls still thinking about the man. When the door swung open.
