Magnificent, majestic, beautiful, gorgeous. The words whispered out of the ladies mouths as they gazed at the huge castle that stood high up with pride but also age.
It looked old but well maintained. The age only adding to its beauty.
Sofia finally tore her gaze from the castle and looked around, it didn't seem like their car was the only one there as there were 5 more cars stretched out on the wide space. Each car sported a group of ladies and some men too.
"This is getting real." whispered River as she gazes at her surroundings too. She was both nervous and excited. She would finally get to meet her mate!
"River! River look at those rose bushes. Do you think they will mind if I picked some?" The eager Sofia gushes. She was surrounded by everything she loved. A forest, flowers, animals and a canvas worthy view that she would definitely paint.
"Umm...I'm su-" before she could even finish Sofia squeals and rushes towards the rose bushes after spotting a baby bunny that seemed to have lost its way home.
She picks up the creature with such gentleness and whispers to it like a baby. "I'm going to call you cookie because you are just a sweet little thing aren't you." she coes.
She didn't notice the weird glances she was receiving as she planted her butt on the grounds and placed the bunny down patting it's small head.
"Good Evening ladies and gentlemen, I am Ms Orah and I will be addressed as such. " a loud feminine voice booms scaring both the bunny and Sofia. Her gaze moves towards the short but strict looking old lady who was dressed in a Black and white dress and sported a tightly tied bun.
"I welcome you all on behalf of the King as he couldn't make it today but he sends his greetings."
"You all will be separated into genders; boys and girls, then you will have to pick a parter to share a room with. If you would so kindly do that now please." she continues.
River rushed over to Sofia and pulled her up to her feet and dragged her towards the crowd with only girls, Sofia made sure to carry the bunny, cookie, with her.
"Roomies?" Asked River. "Roomies!" Sofia replied with glee. She was too excited.
"Ladies if you would follow me, I will guide you to your rooms and for the males, Gorden will be here at any minute to assist you."
Ms Orah leads the ladies to the west wing where the ladies would be residing, a fair distance from the boys who would be residing on the east wing. There would be no funny business with Ms Orah around.
Almost an hour later everyone was in their rooms and Sofia couldn't be more relieved she hated crowds. "I'm going to take a nap before I unpack, I am so tired!" River says removing her shoes.
Sofia nods her head too distracted by the art in the room. If she had though the outside was beautiful the inside was even better more especially her room.
A squeak from the pocket of her dress breaks her from her thoughts, she takes out the little bunny, glad to have snuck it in successfully.
"Are you hungry cookie? Let's go see if we could find a kitchen and get you a snack." Sofia whispers to the bunny as if expecting it to understand. But deep down she knew he did. She believed he did.
She made her way towards the door making sure River was fast asleep and not keeping tabs on her. Once out the door she started her journey. At first she was confident but soon she was lost.
Maybe because she also got distracted a handful of times. Little did she know that she was far from close to being in the kitchen. "Cookie it looks like we're lost."
She looks around once more. The hallway she was in was completely deserted. "Where do you think we are? I'm really sorry that I couldn't get you that snack cookie, but I think we should go back now. I'll get you something at dinner." her voice was a little sad as she really wanted to feed cookie.
It could have been days since he ate something... weeks even and that made Sofia really sad.
With a heavy sigh and a heavy heart she turns around and tried to retake her steps hoping to get back to her room.
"Well...Well...well"
