The Legend

Part 4 Meeria

Part 4 'Meeria'

The door flew open.

 It was the man who brought us into this room. I got up and walk back inside. I stood by my little sister and held her hand. She looked at me with worry in her eyes. I squeezed her hand and gave her a reassuring smile.

"Ladies today each and everyone of you will meet the prince."

As soon as he said that some girls started to screech. I rolled my eyes and groaned. He should stop giving these girls false hopes. Soon each and ever one of us will be dead or a slave. Why be that happy?

He continued after they got done acting like a fool. "Each and everyone of you will be provided with new clothes. And will attend the dinner."

 I groaned out loud. Everybody looked back at me like I was crazy. I sighed and rolled my eyes. I chuckled a little. They are really taking this serious.

"Now lets get you guys ready."

A group of women came in with clothes and jewelry. All the girls look all happy but me. I groaned again. Now I'm being force to dress up. Great. I looked over at my sister she was just like the other girls. All happy about meeting the prince. I groaned. I guess I could act like I was enjoying this to make her feel better. I squeezed her hand. She look over and was smiling. I guess everyone deserves to be a princess for a day. I smiled back as she was being pulled away from me.

A older woman walked up to me and smiled. I smiled back.

She said in a friendly voice "I'm Aja."

 "Nice to meet you, I'm Meeria."

She put the clothes down on the couch next to her

 "You don't seem as excited as the other girls."

 I sighed "Because I'm not."

She chuckled "And why not? You're surrounded by the most beautiful things that are from around the world. Plus you get to meet the prince. Girls would kill to be in your spot"

 I groaned not trying to think about the prince. But thinking about the man I saw earlier

"Then they must be pretty stupid. All this stuff is nice but it's not realistic."

 She nodded "You're different from the other girls."

I smiled at her comment "Thank you."

 She picked up a belly shirt.

 "No problem. Are you ready?"

I nodded. I pulled my dress down. Making sure my knife didn't fall out of my skirt. I put the black sparkly belly top on. I felt really uncomfortable I grabbed my stomach trying to cover it. She smiled and handed me a long skirt that matched. I pulled my pants off and hid my knife in the pile of clothes. "You look pretty ."

She smiled and sat me down. She started to put make up on me and brushed my hair. She back away and smiled.

"Come here."

I got up and followed her to the mirror. I stared in the mirror in amazement. I never look this pretty before. I always thought I was ugly. But this doesn't even look like me.

I smiled and hugged her I whispered "Thank you Aja."

 I let go an smiled at her.

She smiled "No problem. I like you for some reason I usually hate all the girls here. But like I said you're different. If the prince doesn't choose you run away as fast as you can. Heck try to find me. I'll help you escape."

 I nodded "Thank you."

 I smiled. I knew this was going to happy. I look over at my sister she look so happy and beautiful. How am I going to get her out of here? I groaned. And sat on the couch waiting.

'Rakeem'

I walked out of my fathers office half drunk half sane. I need to see her. I can't wait. I walk by the door where the girls were and stood there smelling her scent. She smelled so good. I smiled just imagining how beautiful she is. I stood there for a good 30 minutes. Just thinking about her. I didn't care if it was weird just being close to her made me feel so right. I smiled again.

"Rakeem what are you doing?"

I look back it was my father. I sighed can he just leave me alone for once.

He chuckled at me "How about you get ready son. The sooner you get ready the sooner you can see her."

 I smiled. He's right. "Yes sir."

I bowed and walked away. I walked away slowly so I would be able to keep her scent with me a little longer. I walk to my room and got ready. I'm so ready to meet her. I wonder how she's like. I wonder what her voice sounds like. I want to know everything about her. I smiled. I love her already.

'Meeria'

After a couple hours the man walk back in.

"Alright everyone follow me."

 Everyone got up and was escorted out of the room. I stayed behind and found my knife and hid it in my skirt. I look around to make sure no one was watching and left the room. When the prince picks one of the girls I'm going have to  kill all the guards and run with my sister. Hopefully it works. I caught up to the rest of the girls. He took us into a huge dinning hall. There was a huge table with about 50 chairs at the table.

 "You may take a seat." He said.

There was a people playing instruments. The music was very beautiful. Made me want to dance. I took a seat next to my sister.

 I smiled at her "Are you nervous?"

She gave a nervous smile. "A little."

 I chuckled "Don't be, just stay close to me."

 She nodded. We sat for awhile waiting for the prince. I know he's royalty but he needs to hurry up. Finally the doors swung open.

A older looking man walk in. He was really tall. He walked in with a woman. She was very beautiful her hair was to her waist.

 "Now we present the king and queen." The man announced.

 Everyone got up and bowed. They took a seat one at each end of the table. Then he walked in. The man I saw before. His eyes were locked on mine. I tried not to look at him but I couldn't.

"Now we present the prince."

 Everyone bowed. I looked away as I found out he was the prince.He walked in and sat next to his father. I looked down still feeling his eyes on me.

 He spoke "You all may be seated"
