Chapter 1: A new king, a new life
"Pinky?" My door creaked open revealing my butler. "It's time for your brother coronation"
I groaned at the incoming light. "My…my what?"
"Sorry to disturbed you miss but it's your brothers coronation today. "I sat up and rubbed the sleepiness out of my eyes.
"It's also his birthday…" I got out of bed still half asleep, took the pink dress out of Dan's (my butler) hand and yawned.
"Yes, I know that quite well…I managed to sneak a gift from my business."
"The Diamond Minecart?" I put the dress on my bed and took the small box from Dan's hand.
"Yes…well your birthday's 3 days from now I know I won't have any time to give it to you then." Dan shrugged and I grinned.
I gave him a hug and opened the box. "Dan…this is why I love you." Inside there was a necklace with a heart shaped diamond accompanied by a charm bracelet.
I stood there staring at the gift while Dan pushed me more into the room. "Stop staring at it like a fish! You're going to be late to the coronation!"
I ran over to the bed and placed the box down. "Ok, ok! Get out! I have to put the dress on!":
Dan chuckled and closed the door behind him. "I'll be outside if you need anything Pinky."
I quickly took off my night gown and put on the emerald studded pink silk dress. With my new necklace and charm bracelet in place, I brushed the bird's nest that is my hair and settled for a simple braid. This was all completed within 5 minutes mind you.
When I looked presentable, I took a quick look in the mirror and put my butter ahem…sorry that's what we call it, my gold ear rings then I was ready to go.
I walked to my door and opened it. Although I was expecting to see my butler Dan, who I've known since I was 5 (about 3 years before my parents died R.I.P.) I saw my brother's right hand man Deadlox. That's being formal though, everyone close to him calls him Ty. "Ty? What aer you doing here? Where's Dan?"
The brunette chuckled and adjusted his headset. "Well Dan got called to help set upthe ball room so I'm going to lead the way to the coronation if you don't mind."
"By all means." I followed him through the hallways in silence. I found it awkward though and decided to break the ice. "Hey Ty?"
"What? What happened? Is something wrong?" Ty turned around to see if I was alright.
"Everything is fine Ty, calm down…I was only going to ask you what is it like to be my brother's advisor and best friend? As you know he is going to be the new king within a few hours." I urged Ty to continue.
"It's ok I guess…a part of my life." He shrugged. "I can't really see it any other way."
I nodded and the silence overcame us once again, not knowing what else to say or do, I stared at the ground. "What about you?"
My head jerked up at the question. "What do you mean?"
"Well…he is your brother. His title is changing from Prince Sky to King Sky but you're staying Princess Pinky. Once he's king, you won't be able to do the same things anymore, you'll have to start addressing him as your highness or whatever to not say his name, no more parkour or adventure…your life is changing really. How do you feel?" Ty opened a door, leading us to our destination through another hallway.
I bit my lip. "I haven't really thought about that…"
Ty looked at me with pity in his eyes. I gave him a grin to cover how broken I was feeling inside, one more crack I have to cover now. "I'm sure I'll manage, I have Dan, you, Mitch, Jerome, Jason, Mr. Fish, I have everyone. I don't think it'll be that bad."
I saw a subtle wave of relief wash over Ty. "You're stronger than I am that's for sure because I were you I would throw a fit."
'But you're not a princess…'
"Anyway we're here!" Ty opened a door which lead into a church like room with a priest at the front.
People were taking their spots and I decided that I should do the same thing. I stood next to the priest and waited for the actual event to being. It took about 10 whole before the door flew open revealing my brother Prince Sky. He looked the same to me but with a yellow fuzzy cape.
However there wasn't a happy vibe that I love feeling from him, he was more serious and what appeared to be depressed. I made mental note to talk to him about it later.
The event only lasted like 10 minutes, the priest put the crown on Sky, Sky said the oath, the priest said a speech that I didn't really pay attention to and Sky was finally the king. I smiled despite the pain I was feeling inside me. I never wanted to be queen and I think it's better if I'm not, so cross that off of your list. I'm talking about what Ty said earlier about how my relationship with my brother would never be the same again.
The people left for the ball room giving me a little alone time with my brother before we were called to go the ball room that already had a party in session. You'd expect the party to be a few hours later but 'ain't nobody got time for that.'
"Sky?" I took a step forward when everyone was gone.
"Yes Pinky?" He grinned and the good vibes returned.
"Are you ok?"
He raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
"I don't know." I said shrugging. "You seemed serious when you walked in."
"I'm supposed to be serious Pinky, what would people think of me if I walked moon waling?"
"They would think you're nuts and need medical help but it would be awesome if you did that." I smiled earning a chuckled from the newly proclaimed king. "Ok beyond that I know you're supposed to be serious and all but you seemed depressed."
"Nah…I'm fine, I really am. I'm just going to miss all the parkour and the stupid jokes, you know?" Sky looked at me with a small smile. 'So this hurts him too…'
"Yeah…" I hugged my brother. "Happy birthday by the way."
Sky hugged me back. "Thanks."
"Your highness? It's time to go to the ball room…you too princess." Jerome (one of the main generals) held the door open for the both of us as we left the room.
"Thank you." I gave him a quick glance and once again started to stare at the ground as I followed my brother to the ball room.
We were quickly led into the ball room so we could have been pronounced. "Pronouncing King Sky!'
He walked up to where he was supposed to stand while people bowed, then I was my turn. "Presenting Princess Pinky!"
I walked to my spot next to Sky but I felt a little too close to him so I took a small side step. After all he was the first born, the KING and I'm the second, the princess. He was now 18 and barley 14, he has his friends but their also my friends so I guess that's ok.
The light reflected off of Sky's sunglasses as the ball room returned to its original motion. A few of our trade partners offered me a dance but I politely turned them down stating that I have crooked left feet and that I couldn't dance to save my life.
"You have to dance with someone eventually." Sky looked at me after I turned the fifth opffer down a trade partner gave me.
I rolled my eyes. "You know I'm a horrible dancer, free style or not."
The glass windows suddenly exploded and an armada of squids came pouring in. We've been at war since before my parents we born, they were the ones who killed them, it's just gives me and Sky a more personal reason to hate them. The guards pulled out their swords and ushered the party guests out of harm's way. Sky pulled out his own sword from I don't want to know where and pushed me behind him. "See this is why I don't like dresses!" I yelled. "If something happens then I can't fight and there's nowhere to keep a sword or weapon of some kind."
"Princesses don't fight!" Sky yelled as he slashed squids trying to keep them away from us.
"I don't care! It's not like I asked to be a princess!" I yelled again as my eyes tried to catch every single piece or current information so I can calculate an escape.
I was abruptly pulled down by the skirt of my dress and was dragged across the floor by the squids. I screamed, kicked and fought back but there were too many, I'm a weakling and the dress was preventing a lot of my movement.
"Pinky!" Sky yelled…although I couldn't see him I knew he was coming closer because the squids started to move faster.
It was getting harder to breath and I could feel the dress ripping, resisting the movement as I've previously stated.
The squids were either slain or they ran away for their lives as my brother and most likely some guards came to my rescue. Sky pulled me into an embrace as I gasped for air and the shock left my nervous system. I started sobbing onto my brother's shoulder not caring who was watching or what was happening around us.
My name is Pinky, I'm 13 going on 14, caramel hair, blue eyes, princess, younger sister to the king and my life changed more that I previously thought it would.
