Power is a Dangerous Game

This is not me

Eleanor -

I was born in Paris at 4:00 in the morning. Was another edition for my father. I found out fast how things worked.

I was baptized in one of the churches in France. My baptism was larger than my sisters. From there I was trained to be a lady of the highest honor because of my last name.

" A daughter from the house of Hightower acts like a lady all of the time.

Never put your nose into man's business. "

More stuff like that. Well someone should told my father that. As I look back in youth I am glad that he taught me how to fight. And much more well mins the lesson on how to play every damn musical instrument.

Other than that I had a good childhood for a time. I lost the most important person of my life, my mother. Myself and my mother went with my father on a business trip. We entered one of the private planes. Everything was fine, I was sitting on my godfather's lap as my mother slept.

In a blink of an eye our plane was stuck and we crashed. When I came to I started to look for my parents. I found my mother first but she was not moving. That was the first time I saw death. I was 4 years old. After that I changed, something like that can change anyone.

I made something myself way better than my half sisters, Rose and Isabelle. Those two are a nightmare. They never really did anything while we were school meaning the school work. The only thing they did was the boys are school. The only reason they pass was because they bullied the nerds of the school.

When school was done they make trips for themselves and shopping.

I enjoying watching them look like fools.

But that changed when one night during dinner father spoke up.

" After having a meeting with the king he gave his blessing on marriages for all of you"

Screaming coming from Rose and Isabelle. " Oh my god! Yes! Who is it! Will I be the Queen of France! -" Rose started but was cut off by father

" Girls! quiet down. Isabelle, the king gave his blessing to the Baron Noah Lannister"

Isabelle froze by the words from father. I was trying hard to not smile. My sisters are evil bitches.

" Rose, the king gave his blessing to Lord Robert Greyjoy"

Rose spitted out drink. I screamed out a laugh.

" Father! No please no! Not a Greyjoy!"

" Enough. It is done. When the king gives his rule everyone has to listen to his word. And you, why are laughing? The king chose someone for you as well".

" What?" I said

" Well this someone wanted you and the king agreed on the union. You are the bride to be king Alexander Stark of Russia."

" Russia" I said lowly.

" Father please don't. I want to have a future. One of my own. Please."

" No. You three are getting married where you like it or not. My words are final."

Dad gets up from the table leaving us alone in our thoughts. I soon leave the table and go to my room looking for my phone.

Calling the one person I need to have his mine changed.

Calling the number, it picks on the second ring.

" Hello?"

" Why?"

" Ellie, it is good hear your voice. How are you?"

" Don't play with me. Why are you doing this?!"

" Because I want you. I want you to be my Queen. And you love it when I play with you. I will call you tomorrow dear, for now it is late get some sleep. Love you"

Then the phone hangs up. And I stand there frozen. I shake my head and move to my closet. Getting a few bags packing some clothes, most likely think that I am being overdramatic but can you live in a unknown place where you lose your freedom. Specially being married to a king, I would have follow behind that man for the rest of my life.

Having him chose everything I do, say, and so much more. No that is not me. I have not even lived yet, I want more time and I am going to get more time.

Now dressed in warm clothes

Opening the window I drop my bags down before climbing down myself. Before I do I look around my room maybe for the last time.
