The room was brilliant with the fluorescent lighting from the crystal chandelier. The hushed voices from the room creating havoc amongst the guests.I was excited, for I Amarathine was to be crowned as a princess in the kingdom. I had been anticipating this moment, ever since I was a little girl. My fierce ringlets glittered in light, and my scarlet lipstick as red and deadly as a poisoned apple. I was ready, and Henry, my love was here as well. I entered the ballroom, my shoes clicking against the golden tiles. Henry turned as soon as I entered, his eyes lit up as if he had just won the lottery. He examined me like a test, and slowly parted his lips on mine. His ebony hair, and deep misty eyes, were only part of his devastatingly good looks. We were the ideal couple, the tall, dark, handsome young man. Then me, Amarathine, the tall, thin, porcelain doll princess. I loved him, I adored him. But he doesn't need to know about the sins I committed, the promises I broke. Nobody knows what I've done. I went to the pastor to confess, but to tell your sins is to tell God, and I wasn't quite ready for that kind of commitment. I hadn't always loved Henry, in fact, at one point I hated him.
He slowly took my hand and carressed my arm, he did so with the upmost tenderness. "Henry." I said with a sigh. "Yes?" he asked pleasantly. "I have something to tell you." he replied with a subtle "okay."
"Henry. I'm pregnant. But the baby isn't yours."
with that he furrowed his brows, and raised a hand. At this moment, Anna awoke to what seemed like a slap in the face.
