Maria

It had been 3 months since the curse was broken and today is uncle and wedding. Loveday's dress is so beautiful, it is a long white grown with delicate stitches of silver sewn into it as little flowers and leaves. Loveday walks out from behind the screen where she was changing. She looks absolutely gorgeous in her dress.

"Oh Loveday" Exclaims Miss Heliotrope in delight. "You look absolutely stunning, Sir Benjamin will not be able to take his eyes of you."

"Thank you" She reply's with a kind smile. I turn to her and say

"You truly do look beautiful"

"Thank you Maria dear"

"Come and sit we must get your hair done" I say happily. She sits in front of the big vanity mirror as I pick up the brush. I start brushing her hair and humming slightly. Miss Heliotrope start talking about how excited she must be and all of that but my mind is else where. I can't seem to stop thinking about the curly haired bird boy. We have become good friends and see each other almost every day, but it wasn't a friendship that happened straight away. We just sort of slowly started seeing more and more of each other until we couldn't stop. We often go out into the woods when I haven't got my lessons. Miss Heliotrope thinks its awfully dreadful that I am spending so much time alone with a boy but we are such good friends that I do disagree. She doesn't seem to understand that I need to have freedom of my own, but I almost wasn't aloud to go out at all since uncle thought it would be too dangerous because even though the feud between the family's was over there are bound to be other people that would try and get to a moon princess, thats when Robin said he would stay with me so I wouldn't be alone. After that our friendship just got stronger. My thoughts drift further until I hear my name.

"Maria?"

"What?" I say confused to Miss Heliotrope.

"Loveday was speaking to you"

"Oh my apologies Loveday. My thoughts were elsewhere. May you pass me the flowers please?" She passed the flowers and I started weaving them into Loveday's hair.

"I said" started loveday "There will many young men wanting to dance with a beauty such as yourself"

I could feel heat in my cheeks for there was only one person I wished to dance with. "I-I doubt that"

"Of course they will, unless you have plans to dance with somebody all ready Maria"

"I don't know what your talking about" I say but my face heats even more.

She turns in her seat and says "You have haven't you, I bet I could guess who it is. Is it R-"

"OK all done" I say quickly cutting her off.

"Oh Maria, I haven't seen you blush so much before" She says teasingly. Before I can speak there is a loud rumble of thunder outside. "Oh no, I was hoping it would be a nice day" She says.

"It will probably pass" I say trying to lift her spirits. But mine are not so happy. This past month I have felt uneasy about something, but I just don't know what. We have had rather a lot of storms and the moon doesn't seem to be shinning as bright. I am Snapped out of my thoughts by Loveday.

"Now Maria you must get changed too" I smile brightly.

My dress is long and a deep rich purple with gold satin shoes and golden thread woven into the delicate material. It truly was a magnificent dress. She let her hair down and walk out form behind the screen.
