chapter 8. unexpected words...
THE PATH WAS SLIM, BUT IT WAS WIDE ENOUGH FOR US TO BOTH GO SIDE BY SIDE UP TO THE meeting. I jumped off of my white stag, Carson did the same to. We walked togather through the trees into a small clearing by a small creek. I could hear the small creak trickling as it danced over stones and pebbles, the soft plop of a frongs jumping into the water, scared of all of the noise. I walked up to my Mother.
Everyone cleared a path for us.
"Princess..please-let me escort-"
"Get out of my way. Do you take me as weak?" I asked a man standing in front of me. His name was Hentz.
"N-n-no, princess."
I stared at him waiting for him to move. He stood there. "Good, than move " I said impationately. he tripped over his feet trying to get away from me. Hentz had grey eyes, and a small frame, he....was..well he was a dork.He had the biggest crush on me, but I would have no such a thing for him.Not because I think he's a dork, but because... your in love. My mind whispered.
I thrust a wall at that. I continued towards Mother, Carson trailing behind.
"Mother." I said bowing my head. "Mother." Carson said copying me.
Everyone bowed, saying princess, prince... Mother reached for me, I walked towards her, she pulled me infor a surprise hug. Than kissing me on my cheeks. I kissed hers too. Than Mother did the same thing to Carson.
"Okay! meeting is now in session!" Mother said clapping her hands as we sat down on a log. I looked up at her as she stood up. Cre'ol stood up. He was a big, man. Huge actually. He towered over the rest of us. He had blue eyes and a kind face. He was sweet on me, but I wouldn't dare date him. He was more like a brother to me. I looked at him and immediately felt sorry for him, not in the mean sense but in the way that he could never have me, because of the way I thought of him. Carson on the other hand would not have to worry.
I on the other hand had to be the pretty princess and act graceful. I had to curtsy, and bow. I had to ...well, be a princess. But... well, sometimes I which I could be wild for a change. Mother started to talk I stopped my thinking and paid attention to her.
"Okay," She said slowly. "I know Aleene, my daughter sixteen years but soon to be seventeen coming this coming harvest moon." THe next harvest moon came...in three months. Which would be June... where is she going with this? My mind whispered. the coming words were definetly not the words I expected to hear.
"Well, we all know that the vampire prince is here," she grated over the word again. I bit my bottom lip. I looked at Carson and he just looked at Mother, transfixed at what she was saying. "And every queen, has to have a husband, so well...Aleene will be having a ball for people to come and ask her for her hand....men I mean." She said looking at the men.
I jumped up. "NO!" I screamed. The whole meeting went silent. Every person, man or female looked at me with a shocked expression on there faces. "I will NOT marry, anyone who comes and walks up to me! In what world do you think you can do this?!" I was raging now. My skin was heating up. I could feel I was about about to change.
Carson grabbed my hand. "Aleene, wait." I whipped around to him. I slapped him,Not only did
I slap but him, but did I slap him. He flew a couple feet into the air and than into a tree, from the force of my slap. I took off running. There flying past my face like a soft whistle, whistling past my face. I could feel the wind past my cheeks, blurring my eye sight. I ran and ran, and ran, running would never tire me I could have run for hours, even days. But the tears stopped me. I jumped up a sicamore tree and burst into tears. I couldn't believe I was being emotional...again.
