You walked into the world

You and Maven were both born under similar circumstances. An older sibling that will always shine instead of you and a mother than wanted nothing but to torture you. As the daughter of the Welle house, you were immediately set up for high expectations, even as you were born around the same time as Maven. Almost like your parents planned it. 

As a superhuman boy and girl

You first met Maven at a young age, talking and meeting with him with nervousness. Cal talked to Heron, even as they were never truly meant for each other. Everybody knows who will eventually be the queen of Norta. 

Evangeline and Heron grew to be your friend, too. Them and their nymph sisters. You never liked nymphs, which was the first thing you and Maven had in common. But apparently, you both grew to view nymphs differently.

In the blinking of your eyes

I was born and sold

By your manifesto

During the Queenstrial, you showed your best ability, even though you never really needed to. You knew Maven was going to pick you. Like the seeds you planted in his heart, you two grew to love each other. Just like your father wanted. Just like Elara distasted. Because she knew that eventually, you would fall just like everybody else.

It's a cruel world for small things

But a girl took your place on the throne. You were insanely angry, wanting nothing but that place next to Maven. You can't believe your place on the throne was lost to a dirty Red.

"I want to kill her." You whisper to Maven, grabbing his hands with your gloved ones. Your legs are sprawled across his lap before he holds you to his chest, bringing you closer to him. He kisses your forehead with sweet lips.

"No, no, no." He coos into your ear. He brushes his fingers through your hair, his eyes filled with satisfaction. The sight burns its way into your mind. Eyes filled with satisfaction grew to be your fear.

You enjoy the feeling of his hands on you. It's relaxing. It's a feeling you never thought you would ever feel again ever since a Red stole him from you.

But with lies and luxuries

"Mareena." You repeat her name, your hand still tingly after shaking her hand. You can practically feel the power surging through her. She smiles. It's a horribly fake smile. 

"I won't steal him from you, I promise." Without all of the people or cameras on her, Mareena is the opposite of what Elara wants her to be. A Silver would never say something like that, especially with the person of talk standing right by there side and not yours. 

Maven lets out a sigh through his nose, a small grin forming on his face. He looks down at her, his eyes coated with a feeling you have never seen before. Jesus Christ, you turn away before you can see anything more that can break your heart deeper. This can't be happening, not with her. Not with a snake Red.
