Title: The Never-Ending Party
Words: 413
What if your entire world floated on one sentence, if in one breath, someone else could motivate you, hold you in an entire world of bliss so you could move on to the hardships of real life? What if the person who could move such a strong thing inside you was standing right beside you, right outside your reach?
This is currently the hell I'm being put through. Beside me is the most wonderful, handsome, and loving man in the entire world and yet he is just outside my reach. We can't do anything; for fear of scrutiny from the guests. We can't say anything; for fear that a whispered word would be overheard and spell disaster for the laws I wish to pass.
The only thing that keeps me holding on is a whispered sentence he told me this evening, just before the ball began, "When this is all over, I will make your worries disappear." This kept me from boiling over and breaking. The sentence, murmured three hours before, had sustained me.
At the very edge of my vision, I could see his face. He was smiling, his hair brushed neatly, and his suit impeccable. Yet underneath his cool exterior I could see his annoyance and boredom- I could practically feel it.
I looked around the large ballroom. It was lavishly decorated with elaborate golden chandeliers, decked out in blazing red drapes and accents, and numerous large glass windows.
I knew Rose was behind me, ready (she may be asleep...) to guard me from any attacks by either Strigoi or Moroi. Beside her was Dimitri, who was stoic and ready for battle, to protect his charge- and his Queen.
I smoothed my dress absentmindedly, the silk soft on my fingertips. It was dark green, the colour of pine tree leaves (which may sound disgusting, but it was a beautiful colour). A mermaid-style dress, tightly fitted to my thin curve-less Moroi body. It was gathered at the waist and had curling sequined designs over it.
My eyes wandered down, only to see the large engagement ring on my finger. My heart filled with joy as I stole a glance at the man beside me. We'd been through hard times but tonight- and forever- we could be together.
With that sentiment, I lifted my head to look over the Moroi royals gathered, a new determination filling me. I wouldn't just exist through this party, I would push myself, challenge myself, to enjoy it.
Should I continue this? Yes? No? This I will try to update as much as possible if I should continue. I didn't see many Lissa and Christian stories (obviously not many people like them :C ) so I want to try a drabble series for them. I would love to hear your imput.
Yes, in case anyone notices, these are inspired by Orlissa92's A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That series. I hope she doesn't mind :S
