Daring And Rosabella : Destiny Rewriters

Chapter 8: Terrible News

Rosabella's P.O.V.
I run into my bed room and throw myself onto my bed. I try not to cry as I think about the news. Dexter was to be my beast?! Will his parents make him go through with this?!
Then, I started crying, I couldn't stop for five minutes straight.
When I finally calmed down, I fixed up my makeup and sheets.
Once I'm done, there is a knock at my door.
"Come in!" I yell.
My mom came into my room. I close my eyes, I'm in for it now.
"Rosabella.." She starts. But I feel tears stinging my eyes so I look away.
"Dear, I'm sorry if he wasn't the boy you had in mind, but you can be happy with him!"
I spin around real quick, and without thinking about it, almost yelled, "I said, my friends made it so we can write our own stories! I don't have to follow in your foot steps anymore!!"
She took a step back, a look of hurt on her face, I felt bad, terrible even.
"Rosabella, I thought you wanted to follow in my foot steps."
"I'm so sorry mother, but, I don't.."
"I'm just, shocked that you would say that, is there something I should know about?"
"You already know, that I want to write my own destiny, if you'll except that."
She sighed. "I'm not sure that I, that I can." Then, she left my room, leaving me shocked and disappointed, at the same time...

Daring's P.O.V.
I walk into the castle and I see no one around. I walk near our lounge and I can hear people arguing. I know I shouldn't, but, I listen.
"But father-"
"No, son! Or should I even call you that?"
"Father, I just thought that, now that we can write our own destiny's, that I could-"
"No!! No, Dexterous! You will follow your destiny! Whether you like it or not!! You will become the next beast!!"
I gasp and take a few steps away from the door, Dexter was going to be Rosabella's beast?! My younger brother, with the love of my life?!
I start to hyperventilate. The world was spinning. I clutch onto my head and try to stop the world from spinning, but it only made it worse.
I hear guards coming, they ask questions, but I don't know what their saying, over me hyperventilating.
I suddenly feel faint. Rosabella, my love, with...my younger.......brother......
That was the last thing I remember before I blacked out.

Rosabella's P.O.V.
I cannot believe my mother!! I thought she would understand! Maybe she would understand if she knew how I felt about Daring, but I can't tell her that!!
I sigh and sit on my bed. I have nothing to do, it was four pm anyway, so I hext Daring.

Rosabella: Hey Daring! I'm bored, can you talk?

I wait for a long time, but I get no answer. He's probably doing prince like things.
I decide to listen to museic instead, until I'll have to go down for dinner and face my parents.

Daring's P.O.V.
I wake up who knows how long later. I'm in my room on my bed, I see Dexter and Darling at the end of my bed.
"Guys?" I managed to say.
They look at me. "Daring! You're okay!" Dexter exclaimed.
"Are you okay?? What happened?!" Darling demanded.
"I- I heard the news Dexter.." I said, looking at him, he stared at the floor.
"Yeah, but, I don't want to go through with it...."
"Anyway, you guys can talk about it later." Said Darling.
"So what happened, you know, after I passed out?" I asked, Dexter sighed.
"After you started hyperventilating, father and I heard and when we made it outside, you passed out and had a group of servants around you....they brought you here to rest."
He looks at me. "How come you were hyperventilating?"
I sighed. "Probably because if you and her are forced to go through with this, I'll lose her."
"Wait, what?! Dexter, you're supposed to tell me!!" Said Darling, lightly punching him in the arm. He laughed.
"Okay okay!" His smile fades.
"I'm to be Rosabella's beast."
She gasped. "Really?! Oh my ever after, I'm so sorry!!"
"It's okay, it's not your fault." I said.
"Daring, you're probably going to have a good excuse for what happened." Dexter said.
Great. "Okay, I'll think of something."
"Okay. We have to go, bye Daring."
"Bye."
Then, they both left the room, I struggled to find and excuse good enough. I finally decide that I'll pretend I was sick from something that I ate, but am better now.
When the nurses come in, I tell them that and they believed me. I asked for the time and it was six pm.
"Would you like something to eat, you're highness?"
"Um, sure please."
When they leave, I check my mirrorphone and I have a message from Rosabella, I replied back,

Daring: Hey, Rosabella! Sorry, I was busy, I can talk now.

I wait a few minutes, the servants come and go, and she replied,

Rosabella: That's okay, did you hear the news?

Daring: Yes, ugh. Are you're parents making you go through with it?

Rosabella: I don't know, maybe yes. They got mad at me at the table. I tried to explain without mentioning us, but it was hard. They are starting to understand more....

Daring: Convince them not to! I know you can!

Rosabella: Okay, I'll try. I have to go.

Daring: Okay, bye.

Rosabella: Bye.

Then our conversation ended. As I lay there, I get an idea: I'll go to her castle tomorrow night and surprise her there. We could go for a walk in the woods or something.
I'll just have to find out which window is hers.
I sigh and think of her when I finally dozed off for the night...

Maddie: Ohhhhh so exciting!!

Brooke: I know! I want to tell you so bad!!

Maddie: Then tell me!!

Male narrator: No, Brooke, go to your mother.

Brooke: (sigh) Okay.

Maddie: Can you tell me??

Male narrator: No, I will not, especially when something bad will- never mind..

Maddie: Something bad will happen? Thanks for the info!!

Male narrator: I, didn't-ARGH!!!

The end is just the beginning!!!!!
