Soaring Love

in the darkness

"Clarity?" kaya calls from the doorway.she's in a beautiful sparkling high necked ball gown. "are you ready for the ceremony?" I nod turning away from the mirror. my appearance is 17 now and it will be forever. "did father find the others it's important they are here" kaya comes closer placing a hand on my shoulder." they are all here" the ball of anxiety in my chest tightens."good".she smiled showing off her pointed fangs." they are all dressed and ready" at my face she say's "they don't know about prince calavar Clair"." I know" I shake my head from thoughts of Chris. "do you mind if I fix your hair?" kaya asks motioning for me to sit at the golden oak vanity. Jelina changed the flowers that intertwine around the mirror yesterday they are now pale pink roses with baby's breath placed expertly. they match the dress hanging from my closet door. "if you want" I shrug.i sit down at the vanity looking in the mirrior.it's funny only two days ago I was seven and now I'm seventeen and getting married. kaya get's to work on my hair plucking roses and baby's breath off the vanity. weaving them into my golden-red hair. "Clair!?" "TALK TO ME!" Chris again." no" I answer simply. he's been so angry lately I'm starting to wonder if the memory spell worked or not. "done!" kaya exclaims proudly. 

(CLARITY'S HAIR BUT OBVIOUSLY HER HAIR IS RED)

I turn my head so I can see my hair. It's in a beautiful intricate braid looking thing with two roses intertwined with some baby's breath thrown in to. "wow kaya it's beautiful".I turn to tell her I love it but she's gone stiff her eye's a glowing yellow the pupils slits her ears growing pointed. her fangs growing more prominent." someone's coming" she hisses throw bared teeth." who?" I smile hoping for a fight on my wedding day. kaya takes a deep breath through her nose "I don't recognize their scent" she smirks "not one of your father's men they're coming fast" she takes a crouch her dress gathering on the floor." don't ruin the dress kai" I roll eyes and smirk taking a fighting stance. just then the door bursts open showing a red-faced heavy breathing Chris.kaya gets up walking to the door sliding her top half-past Chris and yelling down the hall at the guards "COME'ON GREG AGAIN?!" Chris walk's over to me taking my hand's in his "Clair please just talk to me!" his face is pained he's dressed for the wedding in a white tux with a gold-rimmed coller making his hair seem even darker and his eyes seem like the ocean right before a storm.his black hair is tumbling into his face and I'm suddenly conscious of what I did to him.

"are you ok?" I ask him eyeing a bruise that hadn't been completely covered. "happy as ever why?" I shake my head "no reason" he place's a hand under my chin. "Clair we're getting married you have to talk to me" I brush his hand away. "I don't want to talk to you" hurt flashes in his eyes. "that's fine to" he smiles that forgiving smile that's eating away at my brain. you almost killed him.he's just here because father needs him. you don't deserve him.if he knew what you did he'd hate you. thought's like this run through my brain." you know I'm here Clair" I look at the floor. "you're not supposed to be" I can't bear to look into his eye's "ok I'll leave" he walks away but then say's "I'm happy it's you" and with that, he walks away. kaya comes over "wow that was deep" she lets out a deep breath. I shrug "I'm going to go get married wanna come?" she shrugs like it's no big deal "sure why not"
