True Love

Chapter one: Poor Aikka

Aikka sat at his window, looking out from the glass, at the rain outside. He thought about his childhood. How cold and horrible it was, and growing up, he hated to think of it. (Aikka's memory), "mommy, can I go out side and play?" asked Aikka politely, "no Aikka." Answered his mother, "You know that you have to tend to your lessons!" "But mommy, I don't want to tend to my stupid lessons! I hate them, there no fun, there boring!" "Aikka! Do not speak so, you bad boy! Turn around," "but mommy I'm-," "turn around now!". (Present times) Aikka didn't want to think it all the way through. But that didn't mean that he could stop remembering it. He remembered all the pain. The scares on his back. The blood, the tears, the screams. He tried to get his mind off of it, he tried and tried but failed. Until he started thinking of Molly. The young, beautiful, smart, funny, and clever earth girl, who he had fallen in love with. But they weren't in love, yet they were best friends. Aikka kept on thinking of her face, her smile, until Kanaan came in.

"Prince Aikka, someone's here to see you." Kanaan bowed and left the sitting room where Aikka was sitting (that sounds funny). "Hi! So your Prince Aikka, I've always wanted to meet you. And just to think, were gonna get married!" This Nurasian girl had a white and gold dress on, that was flowy at the bottom, and thin and straight at the top, down to the waist. She had long wavy hair that came down just a bit lower then her butt. She had light blue eye's, and a smile. "What?!!!" Aikka nearly had a heart attack. "Oh silly, don't pretend like you don't know or something, your father must have told you. Didn't he?" "No. No, he didn't tell me anything". "Oh." "Prince Aikka," Kanaan came in again with a bow, and then stood up straight, "your father wishes to speak with you, now." Aikka stood up, trying not to shake, "of course, tell him that I will be there in a moment, Kanaan." "Yes, of course, your majesty". Kanaan did the same as before, and left the room. "I must go, my father wishes to speak to me", Aikka told the strange girl. She nodded, and then Aikka left the room.

Aikka entered into a long room, where his father awaited him (or at least the machinery that could contact him). The room was very empty, and it echoed when you spoke, or made a sound. Aikka walked through, rather quickly, and you could tell that he was agitated. He looked up to his father and spoke out rather angrily, "father, what is the meaning of this!" "Aikka, calm down, and do not lose your temper like that again, or you shall be whipped!" "I'm sorry father", Aikka replied, in a shameful way. "Aikka, son. You know that it is custom for all Nurasian princes to get married at the age of seven-teen, and you turn seven-teen in two months. Besides, Arulai is very nice, and very polite." "Father please. I do not wish to marry her. I want to marry for love, not be forced. Please spare me from this fate!" "Aikka! Stop talking such foolishness! Very few creatures marry for love, that is absurd. And this is not any kind of fate, it is the start of a new beginning!"

I'm not sure if this chapter was getting too long, or if it was too short, or whatever! Anyway, I hope you liked it! My first Oban Star-Racers story ever! Please review!
