Taming Death

I never liked snakes

"Theo glad you finally joined us." Carter said as Theo, and I walked in "where the hell have you been?"

"Busy." Theo said "you've missed a fuckton of bullshit"

"And whose fault do you think that is?" Joselyn said rising from her seat slamming her hands on the table, she looked really angry. "Why is she here? I thought you didn't want to get married and thought this whole thing was stupid." Joselyn clearly upset begins ranting "you drag us along bitching the whole way about having to marry some prissy crybaby princess, some girl whose probably always been pampered?" She continued "and then we get here, and your new girlfriend goes berserk, you then ditched after the training session and then again last night?"
Wow she was really on one.

Orion: prissy crybaby princess huh?
Theo: listen that was before you

I glare at him and interrupt her.

"You called me a prissy princess?" Pulling my hand away from his?

"You hadn't even met me, and you already assumed I was awful."

Theo: Rion please that's not fair that was Before I met you, I know you probably Thought some stuff about me.

"Not fair? I found out when I met you. I never had the chance to think badly of a man I've never met"

"No but you could out right reject it and me and that's fine" Theo finally said aloud.

"You don't know anything about me, about who I am."

And the flood gates open all the pain and fear and anger flood out from me.

"I never had the chance to even process me marrying a complete stranger and then I am immediately marked by him. I stopped belonging to me and immediately became yours. I lost my freedom and my right to choose in a matter of seconds." The anger I had been feeling came pouring from me.

"How did you feel when your father told you? Fucking elated? You rejected me and built an entire narrative about me. And then I'm attacked by bat spiders from the darkest places in the what ever world and then I have an all expense paid trip to the f*cking Netherworld where I'm stuck and attacked and chased by a giant centipede and then I lose my virginity and get this so cool bond where you get to live rent free in my fucking head, this all in a matter of three days" now tears of anger and heartache for the girl in me that died, now fall down my cheeks.

"F*ck you for thinking I'm some pampered princess." Purple started to glow faintly around me, and everyone stepped back.

"This pampered princess could kick your fucking ass anytime anywhere."

Now fully glowing purple I look to Joselyn, "And you" I point at her face "if you ever put my name in the same sentence as prissy pampered princess, I'll cut your fucking tongue out you disrespectful little b*tch." something about her I just don't like and I made sure it was known.

"Excuse me princess, do you think your little glow display scares me, from my end you look pretty pampered to me, sitting pretty in your fancy palace wanting for nothing" Joselyn now yelling "you don't know hunger or cold like so many others"

"Watch your tone with me, you are beneath me in all aspects. You're right I don't. But do you know what it's like to have no say in your future? To live by constant expectations based off the fact I wear a dress; because I'm royalty? That common women may choose their future but mine was decided the minute I was born." now I'm pissed being royal looks good from the outside, but she knows nothing of life in the palace.

"My every move watched. My meals controlled. What I read. What I hear. What I see. For 100 years I lived under constant scrutiny and supervision. I have been free to make most of my own choices for 33 years."
