How About A Pirate

Im Engaged To Who?!

'I saw Alex's eyes lay on the coat. "Who's coat is that?" She asked tauntingly.

I picked up the coat as heat rises into my face. "Captain Hook's." I said and the reaction wasn't quite what I expected.' ~recap~

"Wait who did you meet?!" Jasmine yelled at me, anger seeping out of her like rain rapid flowing out of heavy water filled clouds.

"Captain Hook." I said slipping on the jacket again, breathing in his strong sent.

"What? What did he want? Are you gonna see him again?" Chloe asked me with her black bangs falling over her enchanting forest green eyes.

"Yeah but not on a date. He did said that he would 'love to see me.' " I said smiling to myself.

"You can never see him again. For heaven's sake he's a pirate!" Jasmine raised her voice, the word sounded final and not to be argued with.

"Why? Because he is a pirate! That he is dangerous and adventurous! I shouldn't have to be limited to love by their hierarchy! What if I crave adventure and a life that fulfills more than just ordering around and sleeping around; pretending life is all good when it's not!"

My pulse had doubled, sweaty palms, and rigid body form. It was my body preparing to through my thoughts at another as if it was a physical combat.

"Fine but first your mum would be pleased to see you." Jasmine muttered and I let out a sigh. "Alice. Get that disgraceful jacket away from my nose. Let's go prepare you for your visit with the Queen." Jasmine whispered as she followed me into my room.

~one hour later~

"Hello Richard." I said to the guard of my mums room.

"Let me get that for you love." Richard said tenderly, I always fancied time spent with him.

"Thank you Richy." I said using his  delightful nick name.

I walked in to see my mum and a lad that was firm and held himself like he was of a higher rank. He turned around with his piercing blue eyes staring surely into mine.

"Hello there Alice." He said in a low sexy voice, but compared to Captain Hook's it was merely just another voice.

"Hi there.." I said stopping to give him a chance to introduce himself.

"James, I'm Prince James of the Canadian Forest." He said and put his hand out for me to shake and I took it.

"Hello James. I'm Alice, princess of London."

"Well now that you know each others name let me make an exciting announcement!" My mum squealed with both her and James eyes lighting up with excitement. "You guys are getting engaged!" She said and my mouth fell.

"N-n-n-no." I slowly said.

"Your a princess, you get paired up with people you don't know. Get over it." 'The Queen' said. At this point I had learned she wasn't my mum, she was a queen. Her hat never seeming to dispose of itself, a figurative hat seemed to be sown into her scalp.

"I will not be forced into something." My voice came out strong and in a stubborn way. "I need something real and tangible to show my people! No more lying! Cheating! We need to be a window to our people, not a magical lying mirror! This is reality." I threw my arms in the air, gesturing to imagine mirrors.

"Calm down young lady." She said in a calm but stern voice.

"My Lord your so daft!" I relinquished from my imaginative mind. Realizing what I had just said I turned sharply and left.
