Hello my dears! This is the first chapter of my story. I know it's pretty short but it is only so i can introduce you to the story. I hope you enjoy this first chapter, and remember to R and R and also follow/favorite :)
I stood at the top of the cliff looking down. My breathing became shallow, and I could hardly think. I looked back at the two families behind me, stuck in the darkness. I too had almost been one of them. I said my goodbyes in my head, and proceeded to jump off the ledge. I could hear the shouts of objection behind me, but i dared not look back. I hit the water like a ton of bricks and wiped the pearls off that had become ingrained in my dress. They rushed to the bottom of the deep blue ocean, and I smiled to myself, knowing that the darkness had now ceased above me. Then, I blacked out. The first thing I remember is waking up on a magnificent white horse, just like the one in my story book. My family rushed to me, showering me with love and hugs. I was glad to be alive and be able to share in this glorious event. The curse was now broken. I looked over and saw Robin who was giving me a half smile.
"Were you worried, Robin?" I asked him as I walked closer to him.
"Psh, no. Anyone could have done that." He replied. Loveday wopped her brother on the back of his head and then made her way to my Uncle Benjamin. I was quite positive that there was going to be a wedding, and my assumption was correct. After reuniting with Ms. Heliotrope and Wralph, the De Noirs were all invited back to the manor for a feast. Marmaduke Scarlett ran on in front of us so that he could get a head start preparing the meal, and the rest of us slowly walked behind. I walked beside Robin, and after almost twenty minutes, he still had not said a word to me.
"Robin are you alright?" I said to the bird-boy. Oh how he despises that name, which is exactly why I tend to use it when addressing him.
"Hm? Oh yes, Maria. I am perfectly fine." There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, and I immediately knew he was not being truthful.
"The curse is broken! You should be happy! And I know for a fact that you are not." I replied. He looked at me straight in my eyes and chuckled.
"That is the reason I am uneasy. I have spent my entire life working to make sure the curse was never broken, and I was the one to help you break it."
"And we are all still alive because you helped me." I said with a laugh.
"I guess that is true." He smiled a smile I had never seen before. It was one with a true sense of relief and confidence. I had never noticed how much I loved his smile. We continued to walk until we came to the manor. I could tell that Robin and his father had hesitated when starting to go inside. We all took our places in the dining room, and when Marmaduke sat the food down in front of us, I forgot all of my table manners and scarfed down the food. I didn't think anyone would mind considering I had just saved all of their lives. I had to help Robin a few times with his manners, because he said he wanted to make a good impression. Loveday watched as Robin and I talked. From the day I met Robin she always seemed to have this fantasy that we would end up together one day. Me and Robin? That is one hundred percent not possible! Right?
Is it possible? Yes? No? Oh so many questions that I will not answer until later on! I hope you enjoyed the first Chapter and I shall be updating with Chapter 2 very soon. R and R and follow/favorite please!
Until next time my dears!
