His blessing. Her curse.

In

It's just another night in the life of young Lorelei, a little girl who happens to have her whole life already planned out.
She wants to be a princess. She knows life isn't a fairy tale. I mean she lost her prince charming at a young age. But It's still all she's ever asked for.

Lorelei has always been patient. She's only 11 but still knows how to be respectful when it's needed.

She hasn't seen to much of the outside world due to her father's "protectiveness" or so she thought. But that is why she wants to be a princess.. she saw the movie 'tangled" and figured if rapunzel was trapped and a secret princess, so was she.

Lorelei only has a few friends that weren't forced to talk to her by their parents.
One of them being Susan, her best friend whom she was raised around and always saw as a good influence.

Susan is 13 years old right now.. she's not to much older than Lorelei but she looks up to her. A lot. Sees her as more of the older sister she never had then just a friend.

And then there was Andreas the boy who she promised and he promised so many things. One of them being to marry eachother in the future.

Not knowing what it meant at all.

~Author pov~

Here they are watching the sunset.. as they always do together if Lorelei is outside..

"L once you wear this bracelet.. you are mine." 9 year old Andreas whispered.
Lorelei giggled silently.

"Does this mean I'll be yours forever Andy?" She asked.
"Yes L." He said.

She held out her wrist as the boy tied the homemade bracelet around her wrist.

"It's pretty Andy" she whispered.
"Momma helped me make it she said to give it to a pretty girl. I have a matching one." He smiled and showed her his bracelet.
"I like it. Thank you." She said and smiled.
"Anything for you L". He mumbled.

When they were younger Andreas was VERY possessive and protective of Lorelei some would say like brother and sister, others would say they protected eachother how lovers do.

*Flashback*

9 year old Lorelei is standing here as she sees her father try to make her become friends with this Corbin kid? He smells weird and she doesn't like it. She isn't around to many boys, but she knows they shouldn't smell like skunk..

'Andy smells better' she thought to herself and smiled while she played with the bracelet around her wrist.

"Hey where'd you get that"? Corbin asked while running towards her.
"Somebody gave it to me" she replied bluntly.
"Oh it's pretty" he said.
"I know.." she mumbled, not really interested in the conversation.

"Ahh you have such small hands" the boy yells and grabs her wrist.
She flinched at this, given nobody ever touch her, let alone this roughly.
"H-hey let g-go" she whispered.
"But I like your hands.. so much smaller than mine." He said back.
She just looked at him.
"Your dad wants us to be friends. I heard my dad talk about m-marriage? I don't really know what that means but he said it'll wait till later." He said hesitantly.

"I don't think she wants to talk to you." I heard an angry Andreas say out of nowhere.
Where'd he come from? She thought.

"Hey I'm Corbin" he said and lifted his hand out.
"Andreas" the other boy said and turned away without shaking his hand in return.

"Are you okay L?" He asked her.
"Y-yes I'm okay Andy" she replied.

"Please don't touch her if she doesn't want you too. You shouldn't treat girls that way." He said.
Corbin just nodded.
"Especially not this one.. she's mine." Andy said matter-of-factly.
