Heart Vacancy

Chapter 20

Beth slammed open the door to Aaliyah's room, noticing that she was sitting on her bed writing.

"Beth what are you..." Aaliyah was suddenly cut off by a slap across her face.

"Why does the prince continue to ignore me! I should get what I deserve instead of that skank getting all the attention and glory from Damien.I should be that person! I should be the one cared about and not be ignored! I will not be ignored no longer!" Beth screamed. Aaliyah could not take much more of Beth's harsh punches and slaps so with all her courage she slapped her back.

"Get a hold of yourself! You can't possibly think that Damien has any such feelings for you and your uncontrollable attitude! You never take my advice, you always think what you do is best and look at where its all gotten you!" Aaliyah snapped back. Beth was furious and wiped the small blood that trailed along her bottom lip. Surprised by her little sister she stood over her.

"Alright little sister tell me then how do I get the prince to not ignore me anymore!" She screeched. Aaliyah only rolled her eyes, she has already told her this advice before but yet again she doesn't want to listen.

"Like I said before you need to talk to him! All this "I want to have sex" is boring him. But I don't see why you even try because Cynthia and Damien..." Aaliyah stopped, realizing she was saying too much. Beth knew she was hiding something and was ready to beat her until she starts talking.

"Spit it out! What are you hiding!" Beth said grabbing Aaliyah on the collar of her dress. Aaliyah refused and when she did a strike was made in the middle of her stomach.

"Talk!!" Beth scowled, sending out another blow. Finally Aaliyah couldn't hide the truth any longer, she desperately wanted her to stop.

"All this time Cynthia has been gaining the princes trust and friendship. Even if you tried you will fail...there bound is to strong and its easy to see that they have a connection." Aaliyah chocked out.

A smile grew on Aaliyah's face by what she was going to say next because she knew it was going to piss her sister off.

"You lose Beth. You will never get him to be yours."

Before Beth could punch her sister a golden night burst through Aaliyah's door.

"Great Queen Alona well be arriving soon. You must wear your best dresses for the Great Queen Alohna's arrival for we are having a great dinner." The golden night said and before he left, he eyed at Beth suspiciously, seeing she was holding Aaliyah. Beth let go of her sister and stormed out. Although that was close one Beth still wasn't through with her yet.

====================================================

Cynthia looked throughout her whole closet and was frustrated, not one dress was red. Every dress was either pink,blue, yellow, but not one was red. Now you can guess how frustrating this was but she had to suck it up and at least wear a dress. She chose a dark purple dress that was sequenced in a unique pattern of gold. After a while she was finally finished getting herself dressed and ready. Cynthia saw no point of her going to this dinner. Meeting the Great Queen Alona? Wouldn't she be old to even go to this event? All Cynthia knew was she had to be proper and well mannered like she was trained to do back in Noctovia when she met important people.

Even though she preferred a different dress she looked very beautiful. Aaliyah and Beth both wore almost same designed dress but only with different colors, one was green and the other blue. Cynthia realized that these were the only girls left,this was a very easy competition then she thought.Golden nights stood by each of the girls..escorting them to a different room. Never have these girls enter this room before, it was a ballroom. The room was huge, the floor was glassy and clean, thousands of tables and chairs where everywhere and one long table in the middle of the ballroom.The roof expanded high to the sky and it was all painted in white and gold... There was even a stage! Cynthia was in complete aww and fascination. It was beautiful. But she wasn't concerned about the room, all she wanted to know was where was Damien.
