A Thorn in My Side(The Owl House Oc Story)

Arranged Marriage

Renae's POV

"As if! I'm probably gonna say no. I'd still have to wait another year before I can even officially join." Renae shrugged.

"You should join! It's a once in a life time Opportunity!" Rosie argued, "I'm pretty sure my future husband is in it."

"Do you even know him?" Renae asked.

"No. All I know is he's 18 and his name is Ethan Kort." She sighed. Renae reached for Rosie's hand.

"Hey. I'm here.... I wish I could do something to get you out of this arranged marriage." Renae sighed gently squeezing Rosie's hand.

Rosie opened her mouth to speak before she was interrupted. "There is." Renae looked up at Mrs.Aarons who was walking over. "I have a deal to make with you Renae. You're an excellent healer, the coven could use that.. and you want to get Rosie out of this marriage."

"Yea. I do." Renae's heart sped up. "What are you getting at?"

"You have two options.. Don't join the cove and never speak to my daughter again and leave her to get married.... Or.... Join the coven and be in an arranged marriage with Rosie" Mrs.Aarons spoke calmly.

Renae sat there, trying to comprehend what she was just told. "THATS SO UNFAIR TO HER!" The yell of Rosie snapped Renae out of her trance. "YOU CANT DO THAT TO HER!"

Renae closed her eyes. Silently praying this was a dream.. I can either get Rosie out of a marriage with someone she doesn't know, but she'd be marrying me... Renae shudder, She probably wouldn't want that. Or... I can leave, and never see Rosie again... No. I refuse for that. She stood up and gripped Rosie's hand.

"I'll join the coven... and marry Rosie... Only if she'll take me. I don't want to force her." Renae turned to Rosie.

"Well Rosie?" Mrs.Aarons tapped her foot.

The red haired witch stared at the ground. She's going to say no! Rosie looked up.

"Of course I do.. Being with Renae is better than anything I could think of." Rosie looked up, her face a light shade of pink. Renae felt her cheeks burn.

Mrs.Aarons clapped her hands, drawing Renae back to the real world. "Then it's settled. Rosalina already knows all about your schedule. She'll tell you. Now I have some thing to take care of. Especially called up the Kort's...." the witch turned away and walked to the hallway and was gone in a flash.

"Renae you didn't ha-" Rosie started but Renae covered her mouth.

"I wanted to. I said I would do anything to get you out of the marriage and I meant it.." She said cupping Rosie's cheek. "I'm doing it for you. Even if I have to join a coven."

"And you're not going to complain about the whole marriage thing?" Rosie's purple eyes flicker with something Renae couldn't place.

Renae looked at her feet. "I don't like the fact it's arranged. But I don't have a problem with it if you don't."

Rosie pulled Renae into a hug, "No I don't.. Like I said earlier. Being with you is better than anything I could think of."

Renae wrapped her arms around the red hair witch gentle stroking her hair. "Yea... Maybe we could go on a date sometime soon." She mumbled. Her heart racing. Why was she nervous. She was going to be married to this witch in a few years...

"Yea... Are you nervous because I'm nervous." Rosie chuckled.

"Yea I am." Renae chuckled. "I don't know why. After all-"

"We'll be together in the future." Rosie finished.

"Yea."

Rosie pulled away and gave a nervous smile. "I guess we're now fiancé's?"

"Yea I guess so." Renae rubbed the back of her neck. "But let's not tell anyone yet.. Because we're not even dating. Let's go on a few dates and see where it leads us."

Rosie nodded. "Alright." Renae then noticed Rosie was a deep red. "Uh. Renae. Can we- um. Can we kiss?" Renae stared at Rosie not sure what to say to that. Her face a deep red as well.

"Oh um sure!" Renae pulled Rosie close... they're faces inches apart...

"RENAE!!!!" Renae jumped and back up and stared at the hallway, where Henry poked his head around.

Damnit Henry! She thought, "Whats going on?"

Henry walked over. "My parents need your help. My mother started...." He dropped his gaze.

Renae let out a quiet sigh. "Alright." She started towards the door with Henry. She looked back  and shot Rosie a wink. She tried to to laugh seeing Rosie face light up. She spun back around and stuffed her hands in her pocket, closing her eyes.
