Another Love Story
chapter 1
By me
The story begins with the daughter of the King and Queen of the Gornnamaphs, her name is Sweet Moon, and she has just awoken from her slumber.
"'What a wonderful day" I said with a smile. Today was a exceptionally dark day and i loved it. I laid in bed looking up at my ceiling, wondering what i was going to do today. I heard a knock at the door, as i started to slide out of bed my mother walked in.
She looked so beautiful in a deep red ball gown, that looked like a rose losing it's pedals. I got out of my warm cozy bed and headed towards my dresser. I looked at all my different gowns and randomly picked a light blue one. But my mom stopped me before i put it on. I turned around and i asked
"What's wrong?"
"You need to look extra special today Sweet Moon?" She said
"Why?" I was so confused, why did i need to look special today?
"SWEET MOON!" She yelled
"WHAT!?" One thing you need to know is when Gornnamaphs fight you stay away, you never know what will happen.
"It's your fathers 100th birthday, you need to look special today, and also the day he announces you as his heir" She said
My mother was always the calm one, i took after my father more than i did my mother. I had my mother's beauty but i had my fathers intelligence and most of all his anger.
"Oh, umm i'm sorry mother, what should i wear instead?" She looked at me sidelong, i knew she was still mad, but she conceled it. She went over to my special dresses, and picked out the one i was going to wear for my corination, but decided against it.
She picked the one next to it. Nobodys seen me in that one yet, it was the darkest blue you could ever get, almost black. It had a low cut in the front and back, long flowing sleeves. Then the gown flowed down like a river with ripples and jewels everywhere. It was gorgeous and i loved it, i wondered what my father would say about it.
Once i was done getting dressed and my hair and makeup done, i headed to see my father Dark Moon, i was named after him, but i had Sweet instead of Dark. I always hung out with him every chance i got, as i was walking towards his office, i caught a glimpse of the outside. I dreamed of walking outside and runing around, i was never allowed outside. I was staring intently at the river below when i heard my father call my name.
"Sweet Moon?"
"Yes father?" i asked
"What has caught your attention so much you can't even notice your own father?" He looked at me questionly
"Oh, i was just staring at the river, it's so beautiful father, and so far from my reach."
"Oh Sweet Moon please do not bring up this again, you know you aren't allowed outside. You might run into a Flounce or even worse a royal Flounce."
"But father"
"No buts, it's final!" He said in his commanders voice.
"Yes Father, i understand." I said, and lied
"Now, you need to head down to your office and take care of your paper work, you are my successer and this is what it involes. Work." He kissed my forhead and headed down the hallway to where my mother was.
I was so mad, i never got mad at my dad, but right now, ugh why does he have to take away the only thing i want. To go outside. I was determined, i decided i was going to somehow go outside, tonight i will and that's final.
Tonight, finally i was going to go outside, i was so determined and i had it all planned. I would make my escape outside once everyone was drunk and wouldn't notice me. I thought this as i was entering the huge ball room, all eye's on me. I had the unique gift of reading peoples minds and knowing what they will do before they know themselvs. So as i entered the ballroom i heard millions of Gornnamaphs thinking how goregeous i was, and all males thinking that they were going to dance with me, some way or another.
I walked straight through the millions of our kind and right up to my seat next to my father. My mother had her chair on the other side of my father, except my chair was higher up. The only reason was i was the next ruler of the Gornnamaphs. Some think it absurd to have a daughter rule, but nobody spoke up about it. But i always heard about it, because of my gift, which i haven't even told my mother or father yet. I would be outcasted, any Gornnamaph who had a gift in the past and still the present was killed.
I couldn't even tell my suitor, Escalus. He was handsome enough, but to me there was no spark, nothing making me want him for my own. I already knew how he felt for me, and when he was going to ask me to be his bride. But i just couldn't and wouldn't be his, he wanted the crown but also me. I knew deep down he loved me but he didn't show it in his most resent thoughts.
Escalus came up to my side and asked for my hand, i gave it to him only because he wanted to dance. The entire crowd disperesed and let me and Escalus dance. My father announced
"To my Sweet Moon and Escalus, may they live a happy life together, and rule us into the future."
I was bewildered, i looked at my father and then Escalus knelt down on one knee and took my hand and said in front of everybody
"Will you marry me, my dear Sweet Moon?" He said it so beautifuly and everybody's eye's were on me. I heard the thoughts of everybody
"What will she say?"
"If it was me i would say YES"
"Is she really going to say no?"
Then i heard my fathers and mothers,
"She better say yes!" that was my mothers
"Sweet Moon need to say yes, this is my plan for making her never go outside." that was my fathers
That stabbed me in the heart, so this was my fathers and mothers plan. I started to cry, i knew my father only did this because he loves me, but to as go this far, what could i say? Everybody was staring at me and then i finally looked down at Escalus. He looked like he was perparing himself for rejection. Right then and there i realised he truly loved me, so i said what i would regret later
"Yes, i will marry you my Esculas."
He looked like he was just given the world, his smile was so beautiful i just couldn't help but smile too. He stood up, hugged me and infront of all the higher up Gornnamaphs took my face and kissed my lips long and hard.
