THE DARK SWALLOW

The Dark Swallow Part 1 Page 2

While I remain unseen at the door I took the time to observe our two gest one was an older male with salt and pepper hair, I could tell by looking at hes face that he had seen a war or two. The other was a younger male not much older then me with pitch black hair and dressed similarly to the other male in dark black and grey royal attire.my father cleared hes throat and all attention was on me. woops. I went to my father side so he could interduce me "this is my daughter that I was telling you about". "Midnight Rose Fitzpatrick" yes, I know my mother had a thing for theatrics naming me midnight when I have midnight black hair with a pale complexion and dark brown eye that are almost black creepy, I know. I put my hand out and the old male took it and went down on one knee "Ambrose Smithson your majesty". He said before kissing the back of my hand. Then the younger male took my hand and said "wolf Smithson it good to know that Im not the one in the would with piacular name" he said with a small laugh that I could listed to all day. We then seated at the table me and my father on our side and them on the other I couldn't stop my mind from wonder where I had heard their name before I was pulled from my thought. "yes, you and marry my daughter if you stich to the arranged amount" I gasped frozen in confusion not quite believing what I had heard. "father?". "not now Midnight". I knew he was being serious because he didnt call me ni ni which he as been calling me Sinise I was little. I wasnt going to sit around while I was sold like the grapes at the market. I made a swift and dramatic exit and made sure to slam just enough doors.
