Once upon a time, there was a really, really old kingdom, called Clarabella. The name is from a young princess, Clarabella, the brave and honest, murdered while trying to help the less fortunate people in the kingdom.
Clarabella, the kingdom, was where people were named after flowers, fruits and nature symbols. Everything they got was poorly shared between the small villages that formed the kingdom.
It was a rainy night. Ét'Beau village was in the middle of the worst crisis that the people who lived there have ever seen. There was this war, Clarabella vs Coin, the enemy kingdom, and Ét'beau was responsible of the military fortification of the kingdom. So many men had already died, leaving wife and children with no money or food, by themselves in that cruel world. Oh, so many children died because of poor nutrition, such a sad reality they were living in.
But in that rainy June night, the first baby in the season was born. Her widow mother was too weak to resist to such a big effort in bringing her little girl to the world. However, she was really fighting against that, and with a last sigh and scream, a sound that for a long time was not heard made itself louder than that cruel rain. The crying of the baby brought again the hopes in the people's hearts. There were celebrations, screams of happiness, and smiles in every single person in the village. But the baby's mom was no longer there to see. She was gone right after the first sigh of her little girl.
They named the baby Quinn, which means sweetness and fertility in their language. She grew with her other 'mom', the very sweet and careful woman that adopted her. After Quinn, 3 other girls were born in the village. Rosie, as in the flower; Sunflower, in honor to the beautiful sunflowers that her father used to plant around the village, only to make it look 'happy', through all the pain that they lived in; and Rachel, as in the flowers that were growing around the village in the moon of her birth.
15 years were gone. 15 years were dragged on. The population grew in number, with the enemy kingdom's war refugees that earned the liberty with their rendition. Et'Beau turned itself into a mixed village. People with black hair, white skin and black eyes that used to live in Coin's kingdom, lived perfectly well with the hazel-eyes blondes that lived in the village originally. Quinn was the most beautiful teenager that lived there. She was blonde, hazel eyes, pretty curves, which were related to such a great treatment she received from her 'mom'.
With the refugees in Clarabella's kingdom, four war orphan girls came to Et'Beau. They lived with Quinn, and helped in everything in the village. With the girls that lived there originally, the young girls were eight. 8 girls in age to get married. In the village, the old people couldn't wait to those eight weddings that should bring so many kids to the place. The wedding must happen before 17. Except for the ones that didn't have a fiancée yet.
But this last case wasn't supposed to happen. The spring dance, something like a 'prom' happened once a year, and had as a general objective the entertainment of the poor people in the villages in the kingdom. And the girls' parents made agreements and family alliances with the children's marriage.
Quinn hated when they talked about that 'dance'. She knew she had to go, she was Quinn Fabray, fertility and sweetness, right? The same thought was in Rachel's mind. Despite being native from the village, she had black hair, white skin and hypnotic eyes – they were in such a color that no one understood well, just like a vivid dark shade of purple. Quinn loved those eyes, but she didn't really talked to the girl, because they all used to say that she was cursed. Every old person in the village kind of hated Rachel because of her eyes.
They planned to run away to somewhere they didn't have to get married before 17, where they could live without a stupid man. Quinn had already been ''promised'' to a young and annoying boy, but she never really had gone to the big dance yet. Rachel went every single year, but no father wanted to marry his son with a cursed girl, so she always ended up alone. She didn't care, though. The boys in the kingdom only gave her a kind of disgust. They always wanted the most beautiful girls, and they had absolutely nothing to offer them after the wedding but a rough treatment that lasted until he dies.
All the village was in ecstasy in the night of the dance. The women were in their long dresses, just like Quinn and Rachel. Quinn was really scared, and did not get away from Rachel. Until she earned a big slap from her 'father', also known as her "'mom's rough husband that did not like her or her 'sisters' because they weren't his child" Quinn once doubted if he ever could have any child once, and asked him. She earned so many slaps that she couldn't sleep that night if Rachel wasn't with her, in her room, hidden in the shadows and comforting her. He said with his cold voice:
"Go to the center and dance, don't make fun of our honor by being seen with this cursed girl. If you ever find a fiancée, you'll be very lucky, with the way you're dressed." A couple of tears fell down Quinn's sweet and calm hazel eyes, and seeing the poor and beautiful girl cry, Rachel couldn't help but cry along. She hugged the blonde girl and said with a weak voice:
"Hey, sweetie, please do not cry, we are running away from this hell, aren't we? Let's dance for a while, and then find an excuse to get out of here'' Her voice was so sweet, and sounded like an angels' choir. Quinn heard the other girl say something to her once or twice, always used to people telling her to shut up when she was not solicited, not giving her any chance to introduce herself, to get to know the village, always like ''the cursed girl must stay in silence''. Quinn once followed the girl to wherever she went, and found out she was very talkative when she was in her own. She had a beautiful voice, and when she sang… it was just like angels were around them.
They danced by themselves for a while, until a boy joined Quinn and she had to leave Rachel on her own. Around midnight, Quinn had 3 possible fiancées, and Rachel had none, again. With the excuse of taking a fresh breath outside, they went out of the 'party'. Just when they reached the other side of the street, they started running as fast as they possibly could with their long dresses.
The building where the events in the village happened, was located in the end of the small town. They soon entered in some kind of a forest, being aware that anytime they could be discovered or someone could send a man to look for them. The man, would probably slap them really hard or spank them, and leave them there in the woods, and come back to the village, saying that they've been murdered by an animal. They kept walking, running, walking, running until Et'Beau were no longer to be seen. Then they saw a kind of light very, very far. Probably a new village or a new kingdom. The hope started to prevail in their hearts again.
So... Do you want the story to continue? Do you want the story to stop? Do you want them to have a happy ending? or not? let me know what you think!
