   He puts me down and cups my face in his hands as he leancs his forehead on mine. I smile with my eyes closed as I releished in his presence. We pull away and Steve gives him a brotherly hug. He walks over to me as Bucky greets the others and he kisses the top of my head I smile in triumph and love. Bucky comes back to me and nuzzles in the crook of my neck.

"Bucky don't you want to know how long you were frozen?"

    I giggle and he shrugs nonchalantly at the question.

" You were frozen for a year, 6 months, and a week and a half. They didn't tell me about you until yesterday. Tony had refused to help you and I chewed him out for it. But it was a good thing because I remembered that there was a spell that can take way memory and I reconfigured it to just take away the brainwashing and the pain you remember. I took it away Bucky, we can be a family now."

    He hugged me tighter and I felt my shirt starting to get wet. I turn so I'm facing him and hug him with all my might.

"I also have a surprise for everyone."

   They leaned in slightly and I couldn't stop the smile on my face.

"We're going to my home. There's a bug celebration in 9 days that I want all of you to attend. It lasts a total of a week but I figured we could go early so I could show you around and show you a few excellent views."

    They all cheer and agree so we head back to avengers tower to start packing. I helped them here and there along with my own. We were soon ready to go and I sent all of our luggage there to our assigned rooms. I grabbed bucky's hand and made a chain with me in the middle. A large cloud of light blue mist engulfed us and soon cleared to show a beautiful view of the middle of a forest.

    They gawk a the beauty and I smile and tug on bucky's hand gently.

"We're close to the castle. Don't stray from the group."

   They follow behind me and we reach the castle in no time.

     The guards welcome me home as they open the door to see my brother

     The guards welcome me home as they open the door to see my brother. He looks at me as I yell his name and jump into his waiting arms. Lilly hugs me next and I introduce them to the avengers. I tell them how Bucky and I are engaged and they smile as I hear yelling from the throne room. I walk in and the yelling stops as father spots me. He hugs me tightly to his chest and I look up at him innocently when we break apart and I ask, "Papa, what are you arguing about?"

"Oh, it's nothing to worry about, my darling Sapphire. It is just a little spat over which Prince you will wed."

"Oh, o- wait. What?!"

   My jaw drops and my eyes widen to the size of golf balls. I can't be married off by my father?! I already have a fiance that I'm going to marry! I just got him back, I'm not about to loose him now?! I can't! It'll break my heart and his!

   I can't believe my father is so relaxed and nonchalant about all of this.

"Yes, king Adrian is insisting that his son, Michael, will be a perfect match for you. Interest wise that is. But I disagree, I think king Henry's son, Gregory, would be a perfect match for you."

    I had no words. My father was pawning me off like a piece of meat to the other kings' sons. I can't believe this is happening. They argued some more while I stood there too stunned to speak a word. Then father finally spoke up.

"Then it's settled. Sapphire will marry king Henry's son, Gregory, immediately after the choosing celebration!"

  With those words I thought i had died on the spot because my heart shattered into a billion pieces. My father was going to force me to marry a man I have never met or know. I man around my age walked over to me with a sly smirk and wrapped an arm around my waist. He attempted to kiss my head but I quickly slipped out of his grasp. He looked at me quizzically as I yelled, "No! I'm not marrying him! I don't even know him!"

"Sapphire, the decision has been made - "

"No! Your decision was made. Not mine. My hand has already been taken! And there will be no wedding with me and this man! That's final!"

   I dart out of the room and out of the castle doors as father yelled for me furiously and Bucky yelled in worry. I looked behind me as I ran to see Bucky following after me. I stopped at the treeline of the forest and collapsed to the grassy floor. I started to cry and Bucky wrapped his arms around me and rocked me back and forth.
