The Real Fairytale

The choosing (part two)

~ Alexander's Pov~
After I hurried to get ready this morning I rushed down to the arena so that I may be chosen to be a dragon rider. It's always been my dream to get away from my life as a poor orphan. Both of my parent died when I was younger. I was about five when I witnessed my parents murder. I wanted revenge and becoming a Dragon rider was my way to do so.

When I got to the arena I was a little late and I cursed myself for not being on time on a day as big as this. I did however get there in time to see a giant white dragon coming straight towards me. That's when I saw her for the first time...

A girl not much younger then I climbed off the white dragon to greet me.
"Hello" she said "i'm Rosalie"
"Alexander" I mumbled.
"Nice to meet you Alexander, you can call me rose."
"Sure" I said

I really didn't want to like this girl placed before me but she was no doubt beautiful. She has blue and gray eyes and jet black hair with a pale completion. In other words she is my total opposite with my messy blonde hair, pale hazel eyes and tan complexion. She looked wealthy and quite honestly looked like a princess you would see in a movie or described in a book.
I had no reason to dislike her I just didn't feel the need to get close to anyone. As long as she doesn't get in my way I thought to myself, we should be fine.

"Come on" I grumbled as I mounted the dragon in front of me. She quickly obeyed and I have her my had to help her up behind me. As the dragon jumped into the sky she screamed behind me and held onto me tightly. I grumbled unhappily to myself. This was going to be a long few months.

We soon approached the training ground we would be staying at until we were fully trained. Our dragon suddenly dumped us off when we got about seven feet from the ground. She clearly didn't want to land.
She? I thought to myself. I was confused on where I got that gender from. She just seemed like a she I suppose.
Rose screamed again and I cursed as we thumped heavily into the ground. The dragon grumbled in response. It almost seemed as if she's laughing at us for not expecting that. I mean in our defense who would expect to be flung from their mount seven feet from the ground.

I grumpily brushed myself off and helped Rosalie to her feet. She seemed delighted to be here. Almost as of she really didn't expect it to happen. Or be real for that matter.
I

took a minute to study her while she was distracted by everything to look at. She really was beautiful I thought to myself. I cleared my throat to get her attention and she sheepishly looks at me and blushes, which by the way makes her even cuter. Stop thinking like that I mentally scolded myself. I mean she wouldn't be interested in a poor orphan anyways.

"We should go find where we are to stay" I said. My bad mood suddenly rushing back.
"Yeah, okay" she replied.
At that we went our separate ways. She went to the girl official and started talking to her as I did the same with the male desperately trying to get her off my mind.

I find my room and relief floods me as I realize there is only one bed. I do not have to share a room with anyone. As I lay down I begin thinking about her again and I realize that twilight not be all bad.

I feel myself begin to slip off to sleep.
