Escaping The Past
Chapter One: An Engagement Affair
"I still can't believe you two are. You know. together. Let alone getting married." Whispered Bran dumbfounded, his brows furrowed in confusion as we walked toward the grand staircase. In a lovely gown fashioned with shades of pale silver and royal blue I walked along side my Brother and on my right was my love and future husband Vidanric Renselaeus.
Vidanric gave Bran one of his assessing glances and spoke aloud, "Well you better believe it Bran, because nothing is stopping us from getting married"
Bran smirked and then he turned to Nee who just giggled softly as she turned to me. I blushed a dark shade of crimson but I didn't hide myself behind my delicate fan. Instead I leaned over to Vidanric and gave him a quick kiss. He smiled a heart warming smile as he looked into my eyes.
"Are you ready to announce the news Meliara?"
"Umm. a-almost," I managed to stammer. He looked at me skeptically with one eyebrow raised.
"Okay fine. I'll admit it no!" I blurted out nervously. A million thoughts ran through my mind as we reached the stop of the elegant staircase. Almost the whole court was awaiting out arrival.
"Don't worry. It'll be alright." He assured me as he held out his arm. We descended down the steps into the depths of my doom. Tonight we had to announce the news at Princess Elestra's ball.
Fanfare echoed through the great hall shattering the silence that ate away at me. Smiling faces greeted us as we entered the beautiful ballroom that was literally blossoming with colour. But I still couldn't shake my nervousness. The Prince and Princess stood in the middle of the dance floor and greeted us graciously.
"Good evening my child. I trust everything with you is well." Her fluting voice washed over me in waves. I curtsied and stepped aside moving along to Prince Alaerec. Then, finally the music started to play and we began to dance.
The sweet notes rang through my ears and I was floating in the clouds. Vidanric and I whirled around the ballroom without a care in the world staring into each others eyes. As we danced he assured me once again that everything was going to be all right. I just melted in his arms wishing he wouldn't let go. I could see Tamara glaring at me shooting daggers at me. After a few songs breezed my I knew my time grew nearer. I had to announce our engagement sometime. I promised myself that I would announce the engagement after this dance. The song had ended and my time had come.
The music stopped and the Princess cleared her throat.
"If I could have your attention please. Lady Meliara would like to make an announcement."
"Oh wonderful. It's time". My heart started to pound and it drummed within my chest. I inhaled sharply and Vidanric squeezed my hand for encouragement. But I could sense a strange presence in the room.Something dark, something evil. A dark chill ran through me. I shook off the feeling and I braced up, inhaled sharply and spoke aloud,
"I would like to announce that Vidanric and I are happily in love and are to be married." "There I said it! Phew I said it." There was a deafening silence in the room. "Oh god this can't be good." I thought pessimistically. Tamara was cheerfully flirting with Savona with a glass of champagne in her grasp. The glass flute shattered on the ground breaking the silence.
Most of the people laughed. Then suddenly murmurs and whispered erupted and people started chatting confused. Everyone in the room was mystified and confused beyond reason. Bran, Nee, Savona and the Prince and Princess however clapped their hands. Slowly the people began to applaud. Both the women and the men were desolated.
Tamara the most.
Vidanric just beamed down upon me and kissed me on the cheek.
"You did it! I'm so proud and relieved. I love you!" he praised and kissed me again. I kissed him and back and the people still clapped. Nothing could ruin that moment. I was beside myself in joy and love. Standing beside Vidanric nothing could hurt me. And I never felt safer except for in his arms. I cherished the moment and nothing could spoil it.
But just then there was a sudden chill through the air. All the candles went out and the ballroom was blanketed in darkness. Some screams and others gasped. The curtains rustled and the moon shone brightly through the windows.
I held on tightly to Vidanric, I could feel alert, on guard. There was a flicker of movement along the back wall of the ballroom. By the window I saw a startling figure. Like a ghost from the past it seemed haunted, yet so vaguely familiar. Deathly pale, the specter had pale hair and eyes that bore into my soul. A giant smirk across its face, eyes glinted with fire. Taunting me. Beckoning to me.
Oh no. It couldn't be.
Flauvic?
