Becoming A Queen

~Chapter 2~

"Lucia don't run away from me!" My voice was hoarse, and low as I called out to my younger sister trotting ahead of me.

"Rosie, I'm having fun!" She squealed out, then went into a fit of giggles. It was difficult for me to get even two feet closer to her. I was slowing down, and coughing hard enough to taste- blood? "Bye-bye, Rosie!" She yelled over her shoulder. What?

Then it went black.

-----

My eyes opened quickly, and to my surprise, they focussed quickly as well. I noticed somebody reading a book on the mini couch in this room. I won't call it my room. It was dimly lit in here, and from what I could see, they're wearing a skirt? Their head turned to face me, probably checking on me. I sat up in the bed, revealing the lilac top I threw on last night.

"Rosalyn?" I knew who it was right when she spoke.

"Lucia! My god, I've missed you so much!" I bolted the extravagent bed to embrace my dear sister.

"I've missed you too, Rosie." Her voice was muffled by my shoulder, but who could miss those heartfelt words? "How've you been? Good I assume, look at this place!" She gestures to my lavshly decorated room.

"I've been pretty good, I actually don't-" A knock on the door caused me to stop speaking almost instantly.

"Lucia Carter. Please exit so Rosalyn may bathe, and dress." Aaron's monotonous voice ordered from out in the hallway. Lucy's face saddened as she sighed.

"This big meanie-head has been telling me what to do all morning..." He cleared his throat, causing Lucy to jump. "See you when you're finished, sis! Don't take too long, okay?" She smiled, and skipped to the door, only to abruptly open it, earning a loud gasp from Aaron. That's my sister...

-----

My blonde hair cascaded down my back, wet, as I made my way to the huge living room. I saw my sister having a heated checkers game with Aaron. I knew she'd get him wrapped around her finger sometime soon. It's kind of cute, actually- This big, bulky man intensely staring at a checkerboard. The game was almost over, I could tell. A large groan sounded throughout this mansion, and a ton of small giggles. She had just won. Wow. Connor took me by surprise and placed his hands on my hips, causing me to jolt upwards.

"Hello, beautiful. Sleep well?" He was so gentle with ne, and aimlessly complimenting me. It was a lovely change. I nodded to him with a subtle smile. I do appreciate all this care, but why am I here? What about my job? Does Edith and Felan know I won't be coming tonight? It's like noon, I'm two hours late.

"May I speak with you?" I gestured towards Connor then smiled to my sister to reassure her. She was hesitant to smile back, but still did after a moment passed.

"Yes, of course, Princess." His tone was questioning, yet he happily obliged. I led him to the freak-ishly long hallway, and took a breath.

"Who are you, why am I here, and what about my work?" I managed to say that all with one breath? Surprising. His face went from gentle to serious, a bit too quickly. A big sigh left his mouth.

"My name is Connor Grey, I am your betrothed. You were in danger, and I've already notified your boss, Edith." My face must've looked silly, because I felt silly. My eyebrows were furrowed; my mouth was agape. Surely he must be kidding. "I'm not kidding with you, Rosalyn. This is no game." A loud gasp escaped me, and I practically leaped backward. Did he hear me? "Yes, my love, I did." I'm confused.

"Have you always been able to do that?" He lowered his head, possibly from feeling guilty, then nodded to me slowly. His hands gingerly grasped mine, and he leaned in towards my face. I involuntarily closed my eyes as he planted a soft kiss on my cheek.

"If I had made you upset, my love, I am deeply sorry." He was so gentle, his features were so loving. I feel so attatched to him. For better or worse, I actually don't mind either way.

... What is this feeling?

-----
