Married To The King

Chapter One

-Flashback-

I watched the tree's fly past as we drive along the narrow dark roads near the forest's edge, I'm counting the posts that follow the road into the town, Because I'm only nine and get bored easily it always seemed to calm me when we travel.

"Hit me baby one more time!" My older brother, Adam, tries to sing. "Adam sushhhh, I hate that song" I say poking him in the ribs. I watched as his blackish hair shimmer as the sun finally goes down, signalling the end of the day. "Oh baby, baby" He sings again. " ADAM!" I screech, " Come on Nyxie, Sing it with me." I give him 'the look' before giving in and start singing the horrid song.

We finish then the whole car is filled with laughter, I watched my mother wake from her nap and give us confessed looks, "Adam, don't tell you wound Nyx up again?" She paused, watching Her 13 year old son smiles evily. "Adam, when are you going to grow up? Your nearly 14 and yet you act like a child!" I look between my mother and brother, his smile now faded and his eyes now staring deep into my mothers. "When are you going to stop worrying about growing up and have a little bit of fun!?" He yelled back. My mother was startled and was taken back by his words. "You think its easy to be a mother? I gave so many opportunities up, when you came along and gave more up when your stupid sister was in the picture to!" I watched as the person I knew to be my mother, looked right through me as she said those sickening things about me. I felt a hot tear fall down my cheek, this isn't how you treat people who you are meant to love. Adam looked at me with pity, "She didn't mean that Nyxie-" "You bet I did!" My mother shot back. At this point we were parked on the side of the road, very few cars passing us, more tears burning into my face. Adam was now hugging me as I sobbed, he whispers into my ears, "I'm sorry Nyxie, You know I love you soooooo much, don't listen to her, I will always be here for yo-" The was cut off by the loud sound of truck horns bursting through the wound down window. That's when we all saw it, a truck, a huge truck coming right at us. "Ada-" I stared to scream. "I love you little Nyxie, forever, even in another life" I felt his genital arms lift me up and next thing being thrown out the window landing into a bush next to the road that we were parked at. "ADAM! NO!" I shut my eyes as the truck made contact with the car, hearing the distant sound of my brothers scream slowly fade away, with his life. "I love you Adam." I whisper to myself as I squeez my eyes shut, cover my ears and rock myself while tears were easily pouring out of my little eyes.

- End Of Flashback -

I watch as my new councilor stares straight at me, sadness twinkling in his eyes. "And can you remember what they looked like?" I go to say yes, but do i? After a moment i look up at him and confess "No, but i want to! I knew them my whole life before the accident, why have i forgotten? It there something wrong with me?" I say sadly, eyes beginning to form tears.

He places a hand on my arm, showing me some comfort. "Of course there is nothing wrong with you, don't ever make yourself believe that."

I nod my head to show that i understand.
"Well i think that it for today, next week we can go on to more effort on how to calm down and get you into a happy state again." We both stand, as he opens the door for me, a wave of thankfulness washed over me and i hugged him, was it awkward? Yeah!

I soon figured i should let go, as we were still hugging, so i pulled away. "sorry, i don't know what came over me" i said as i looked down. "Na its fine, it helps to hug it out sometimes", i looked up again "its is?" He nodded. "Well then thanks Dr. Darling" i started to walk out, but was stopped when i felt his arm on my shoulder. He twisted me around "Call me Henry" he said softly. I smiled and walked out. Thats when it hit me, My life sucks! Sometimes i forget that i have been gifted the worst life.

And it gets harder when you realize you have to go live at a place where there is little food and a drunk man, who is still a stranger to me in so many ways.

Agh Nyx what did you do to deserve this?
One think i will always remember my brother saying is that, if your life is filled with twisted meanings and sometimes you feel to empty to function, something good is hiding under the rocky world around you.

Maybe thats the reason i keep myself alive these days.
