A little child sat at a window sill, looking out at the outside world. How she wished she could wander the lands beyond her winter house, the wind was harsh as it blew the white snow to its destination. The child continued to watch until familiar steps brought her out of her daze, quickly the girl rushed away from the window and back to the violin that sat quietly on her chair.

As the door opened the child sat in the chair and had the violin balanced on their shoulder, pretending to flip the page and finger the placements of the notes that decorated the page "How are you doing with Tchaikovsky Valse Sentimentale?" the small child wearily looked up from the page and connected eye contact with a tall slim man, his face was somewhat blurry as she looked away from his.

"The scaling is simple enough to memorize..."

The man nodded as he seemed to approve of her response, he walked towards her and grabbed a hold of her bow. She stiffened her poster and gripped the neck of the violin as the man harshly slammed it against his palm "Now do you believe I would trust your words?" he walked behind her, still hitting his palm "Your grandparents entrusted me to teach you, yet you make a mockery of me and we know I cannot have that."

Unexpectedly he smacked the back of her back harshly with her bow, she hissed as she fell off her chair and onto the floor. Tears escaped her eyes as she protected herself from the blows the man gave her, at least until a blackened hand emerged from thin air and stopped the bow from hitting her once again.

She screamed as the unknown creature started fighting against the man, his screams overshadowing her own. Soon silence filled the room as the little girl huddled into a corner and looked away at the all-black creature that seemed to be trying to comfort her.

Footsteps ran toward the music room that she was crying in, there a woman in a beautiful emerald green dress forced the door open in a panic. Her eyes scanned the room before stopping at her small daughter "(Y/n)!? What happened?" the mother said as she raced to where her daughter was only to see a stand that was covered by a white sheet and wore a small black crown hovering protectively above her daughter.

"It looks like She manifested her stand," her grandfather said as he inspected the man that's as now not responsive "And here I thought she wouldn't." The mother huffed at her father's words "father please, my poor (y/n) so scared. Mommy is here now."

The brunette woman said as she slowly embraced her daughter, as the child cried in her mother's arms the woman looked at the stand and whispered a quiet 'Thank you' before the stand itself disappeared, a black-haired man soon joined the two girls' embrace.

"Well, it seems to be time to see her. "

The man looked at the elderly woman in hesitation "Are you sure? Doesn't she seem too young?" The slightly gray-haired woman huffed at the man "Unfortunate as it is we must keep the peace. I'll be taking her tomorrow." The man nodded before attending back to his wife and child.

"It'll be alright my sweet darling, we're here for you"

"Now child you stay here while I talk with Mrs.Ravens," the older woman said as she opened her fan and brushed the wind on her face "Of course grandmother!" the small child said as she bowed to her grandmother, the woman nodded before leaving the small child behind.

Minutes turned to hours as the small child sat on the bench in front of the water fountain, many butterflies flew past her as she watched them. The sun slowly fell from the sky as the child soon turned to the water and eyed her reflection.

"You seem lonely."

Turning her head she made eye contact with a brunette boy that had shining green eyes, she silently eyed the boy before he rolled his eyes at her "It's rude to stare." The (H/c)ed child shyly clasped their hands together and faced the boy fully "I'm so sorry! I wasn't trying to be rude to you, it's just that you're just..." the boy raised his eyebrow at the girl "I, what?"

The small girl gulped before breaking eye contact with him "You're just very beautiful, It caught me off guard is all..." the boy's cheeks practically glowed red at the girl's comment "You can't say stuff like that to a man! I-I don't look beautiful, I'm Handsome!"

"I'm so sorry again!"

"It's alright, so what is your name?" the small girl sat back down on the bench and wondered her eyes away from the boy "My name is (Y/n) (L/n)." the boy eyed her now in confusion "You mean you're the daughter of the famed politician?" the girl shook her head "No, I'm the granddaughter of the famed politician, my mother and father aren't famous by any means"

"Ah okay.." both sat in silence for a few minutes before the boy looked at the girl from the side "My name is Daniel Ravens, but you can call me your future husband!" he said with a bright smile, the (H/c)ed girl gasped as her cheeks turned a bright red "Husband? I'm not ready for marriage!" he was taken back at her loud voice.

"Well, you're stuck with me."

"But I'm only nine!"

"I'm ten!"

"THAT'S NOT HELPING" the girl screamed at the boy, quickly she got up from the bench and ran towards the house that her grandmother had disappeared in. But before she could be five feet away the boy caught her in a bear hug. Successfully throwing her off track, soon two elderly women emerged from the oak doors and towards the two children "Daniel I see you've met your fiance." the small girl froze at her words while the boy held her hand and locked their fingers together "What do you mean fiance?"

The small girl tried pulling her hand away from the boy but was too weak to even make him think about it. "Well, we discussed that since you both had manifested your stands it was only appropriate that you both wed, after all, it'll only bring our families closer as a unit."

The (E/c)ed child looked to her grandmother for some type of help but the elder woman looked away from her granddaughter "I-I'm only nine, I shouldn't be engaged.." the older woman glared at the girl which successfully shut the child's mouth "Unless you do not care for your family then I suggest running your mouth to me again"

The child bowed her head at the woman "I see, well don't you worry about your little head!" The woman said as she patted the child's head "Well angel like I said before they make a beautiful couple! Oh, how lucky my son is to be engaged to a lovely girl!"

The child bit the inside of her cheek as the adults cheered, the boy smiling even wider as he stared at the girl in a curious daze "Don't worry (Y/n), I'll make sure to treat you even better than you expected!"

"I'll hold you to that Daniel."
