Together or apart

Chapter 2 July 8

" Today is the day my darling." Quietly said my Mama. " Your day to leave this town and become a new woman." As I rolled out of bed my maid and Mama helped to decide which dress will suit the occasion. There were at least a million thoughts running through my head at that time. Knowing more will come. Afraid to take a step onto the carriage, I take a step anyways. As it begins to move, Mama runs out of the front doors telling the carriage to stop. I had forgotten something she said. I closed my eyes wondering. Another person walks up the carriage steps, and sits down beside me. Dressed in purple. A lot like Violet actually. Suddenly the girl removes her hat. I didn't recognize the girl at first. Then I realized... It was Violet. " I couldn't let you go alone. Without me." Violet explained.

The carriage rode on and on. It felt like hours and hours. We came to a halt. A man opened the door and said " Your mother requested that we stopped to allow you and Ms. Violet to retrieve your sleeping wear." I grabbed my night gown from the man. I changed. And got back in the carriage. After a while I fell asleep on Violet. She fell asleep moments later.

As I woke up I noticed that the signs were written in French. The people we passed were speaking French too. Of course I had learned some French words, but I am not very fluent. As we arrived at the palace, A man came up to the carriage door and opened it for Violet and I. "Merci" I said quite strongly so he could hear me. A maid took Violet away to her room, on the other side of the Palace. Then a maid takes me to my room. It is giant. Well bigger than my last room at home at least. My bed is big with a canopy over top, beautiful dresses, shoes,makeup and much more. But best of all, my wedding dress. My life will have plenty adventures. But tomorrow is my biggest.
