Trapped [Complete]

Chapter 10

As happy as Sienna was, and was supposed to be, the same night Archer asked Sienna to marry him she was curled in bed crying. It made her feel slightly better that the last thing she had said to Paisley, Rachel and Alex was all “I love you” and she had ended her last phone call with David happily, although she didn’t remember what exactly was said.

She wondered if her friends had given up on her yet, knowing she had been gone for too long and wasn’t coming back. Oddly enough, it felt like the longer she was gone, the more it hurt. She thought, now that she was to be married in a month, she had a best friend here and lots of friends in town, she would be happy and not miss home so much.

However, it ached to think about it, but she didn’t have enough memories in Bianna to think about those instead. She tried to remember happy times, hoping that would make her feel better, so when that didn’t work she switched to the upsetting memories. That definitely didn’t help.

She went into her closet, which had grown exponentially over the last six months, and pulled on a sports bra and yoga pants and plugged in headphones to go running. They had a gym in the palace, but Sienna preferred the outdoor trail that ran through the woods behind where they lived. She passed Harrison on the way out, informed him of where she was going so that nobody thought she went missing and exited the palace.

She headed down the trail, looking at the scenery as she whipped by. Her long ponytail rubbed against where her back was exposed, but that didn’t bother her. She didn’t get out running as much as she wished she did because of all the wedding plans, but she did at least go running once or twice a week, even if it was just for ten minutes at a time.

About halfway through the run, her phone began to ring. She stopped, caught her breath, and then answered, “Hullo?”

“Sienna!” Harrison’s voice boomed from the other end.

She laughed, “Hi Harrison, whatchya need?”

“I’m working on the food for the wedding and-”

She cut him off, “You need me to try it?”

“You and Willow Grace, please.” Willow had turned ten a few weeks ago, so Harrison has been using her to test the kid food. Sienna hadn’t quite figured it out yet, but in Bianna it seemed that no one had last names, and if they did, they didn’t use them. Because of this, everyone knew her as Sienna Caitlyn.

“I’ll be there in twenty minutes or so. I’m out running right this second.”

He laughed, “ah, yes. You told me that, sorry I don’t mean to bug you with these things.”

“Harrison, it’s fine, I did sign up to plan my wedding, I don’t get to just run out when I please anymore.”

“True... Bye, Sienna, see you in a bit.”

“See ya, Harrison.”

As Sienna turned around she thought about all the different things that she needed to plan. There was the wedding dress that she still needed to get.... she decided she would get that later with Aspyn. Then there was the issue of bridesmaids and she realised that what she really wanted was Rachel and Paisley to be the bridesmaids.

Of course, that couldn’t happen, they were in an alternate universe. Rather, she was in an alternative universe, one that isn’t real. The thought of this broke her heart, but she chose not to think about it by running faster. It took all of her strength to run and it occupied her thoughts for the time being. She knew that once she was done tasting the food, she was going to talk to Archer about everything. Not to back out, of course, but just to make sure he didn’t want to.
