Marthe Woertman Imagines

Royalty

Idk..

I've always only have been able to admire Marthe from afar. She is royalty and well I was a random girl that would be be allowed in the castle. I had powers and in this kingdom, it was forbidden and if I was found out I would most likely be executed. I've always longed to one day get to meet and talk to her and my best friend would always hype me up and make me think of all the what ifs. For example 'what if Marthe and I got married' and 'what if Marthe liked me back', wishful thinking..I know. But my imagination is all I had it's all I was allowed to have. Tonight the castle had another ball and usually I would stay home and admire Marthe from my bedroom window but tonight after a very long debate with my best friend she successfully convinced me to go. I was nervous, to say the least not knowing how I would act in the same room as her. Would I totally embarrass myself? Would I accidentally use my powers? I had so many questions in my head. While walking there my best friend kept telling me that by the end of the night I would have to have at least had a conversation with Marthe. And of course, I thought she was crazy, I already knew myself I wouldn't be able to even walk up to her. When we got to the door of the ballroom my hands were sweaty and shaking. I took a deep breath and walked in confidently, it was fake I'm definitely freaking out on the inside. My best friend and I for most of the night enjoyed the party and food that we didn't always get to eat. It was later in the night when my friend grabbed me by the shoulders and firmly said "Ok now's your chance to go talk to her." fear washed over my face just thinking about it. I glanced over at Marthe and she was drinking her wine and standing alone. I took a deep breath trying to stay calm and not have my powers frail out of control as embarrass myself as I walk towards her. But I stopped short in my path when I see one of the princesses from another kingdom approach Marthe and start a conversation. I turned around ready to walk back to my best friend but when I faced her she had a firm look on her face and mouthed 'Go talk to her.' I gave her small hand gestures pointing to Marthe and that other girl, to say she's not alone anymore. But before I could begin my walk of shame towards my best friend I see her eyes light up looking behind me. Confused I look over at Marthe again and she's alone once again. I built up the courage I had left and continued my walk towards her but just as I was about to greet her a friend of hers pulls her onto the dance floor. I then hung my head low in shame. I could feel myself get frustrated and turned to walk out the door of the ballroom. Before I could get for my best friend grabbed my arm and said "Where do you think you going? You haven't spoken to her yet." "Didn't you see what just happened?! Clearly, this isn't fate. I'm clearly not meant to speak to her." I say trying to keep my voice low to not lure attention. "You barely tried. You have to try this is probably the only chance you will get." my best friend tries to reason with me. "I've lost all confidence in trying..." I then start laughing a bit realising how much of a joke I probably am. My best friend looks at me worriedly probably thinking why I'm suddenly laughing. Luckily everyone else was too distracted by the party. "I'm so stupid..I'm in love with a woman that doesn't even know I exist. Haha I'm a joke, what was I thinking, not like I would ever have a chance with her. What's wrong with me." I felt like I was going crazy thinking how could I have let myself fall so hard. My best friend grabbed my arms lightly shaking me trying to get me out of my crazy looking state. But I just pulled away harshly feeling the need to leave before my powers burst out of me. I was so angry at myself for letting my heart loose for so long and for someone who would probably never live me back. I was filled with so much rage towards myself I knew I had to get to an excluded place fast. I briefly glance towards Marthe before I ran off thinking I would just see her laughing with her friend but no to my horror she was looking right at me with a curious look. My eyes widen in shock and when her face turned into one of shock I knew I had to run..fast. I ran out of that ballroom as fast as I could scared that if I got caught I would be killed. When I was running towards the castle gates I hear someone running after me so I tried to run faster scared whoever it was would get hurt accidentally me if I lost control. The last time I lost control I nearly killed a friend of mine. I swore to myself I could never let that happen. When I got out of the castle I heard someone yell "Wait!!" but I didn't stop I continued running. I got to the woods and my ears and tail sprouted out as knew I had to get further in so absolutely no one would see the real monster I really was. When I got far enough I let all my anger go loose letting it out so I could let go of what I was feeling. It created quite a mess in the woods but at least here no one would get hurt. After I screamed out for my broken heart and punched a few trees, I finally calmed down. I sat down at a small stream washing the small cuts on my knuckles from punching those trees. I then hear a twig snap from behind me. The hair on the back of my neck stood up and I looked behind me abruptly ready to attack. But when I saw her my mind blanked. My eyes softened from their hard glare and I retracted my claws. I would never have thought of this particular what if so I couldn't think of what I would do. I then realise my ears and tail were still out, a look of fear crossed my face and I was about to run but before I could she grabbed my wrist and said "Wait." I clench my fists not knowing how to react because I love her but at the same time she had the power to kill me. I then unclenched my fists and I let my guard down for a second and whimpered "Please don't kill me." I was mad at myself for sounding so weak. "Why would I kill you." she said but stopped abruptly when she realized what I meant. I still didn't dare look at her scared what was going to happen. I felt her hold on my wrist tug a few times. So I looked at her unsure what was about to happen. I could very easily get out of her grip and run but I didn't want to hurt her. She then smiled softly at me as said "Why would I kill someone so beautiful." A shock look washed over my face, someone..usually I would be called a monster. "But..im a monster." I said looking down in shame. Buy what surprised me was when Marthe used her free hand to lift up my chin and said "You Are Not A Monster."
