So here I am,
sitting in a room, waiting for my future husband to arrive.
I
don't like this, the shock on the men's faces when he picked me,
the fear in my parents eyes, and the relieve on the other girls
faces, I didn't like it one bit.
The door opened and there stood the masked man together with my father. "loralia, this is Kane, he will become you're husband soon" He said. He didn't seem really pleased about having to say it though.
I made a small
bow for the masked man before me. I knew I was supposed to bow
deeper, but screw that. I should get just as much respect as men
get... I don't though...
The masked man, or Kane as my father
just called him, walked towards me. His hand brushed my cheek
softly. His hands were rough but gentle. "She's lovely" he said
turning his head towards my father. "Yes Loralia is a real
porcelain doll, I hope you will treat her like that, she's my angel
and I want her to get a good husband, and a perfect life" My father
answered.
"Don't worry, she will be treated like the angel
she is" Kane spoke, while running his hand across my cheek again.
I really hate this you know, being talked about like I'm not
there. Also I was getting bored, I stood here for at least an hour
, my feet were killing me from these damn shoes, I hated walking
around in this dress, I wanted to go home.
"Are you tired my angel" Kane all of a sudden spoke to me. I nodded, not knowing if I was permitted to speak or not. "I shall take you to my home, we will return to your home tomorrow to get you things, and for you to say goodbye's to your parents" he said. I nodded again, tears slowly gathering in my eyes. I might not like my mother, but I would miss her yelling, and I would miss my father's care.
I was lifted up
all of a sudden by big strong arms, and Kane carried me out of the
room. We went outside were a horse was waiting for us. He lifted me
on the horse and sat down behind me.
The ride to my new home was
silent. A almost fell asleep against the muscular chest behind me.
Eventually I did, and Kane woke me up when we got there. I wanted
to climb of the horse myself, but before I could even try I was in
his arms again.
We walked towards a huge house, it was beautiful,
almost like a fairytale castle. Then the door opened and a man even
taller than Kane stood there. "Ah my brother, you have returned,
and by the looks of it with a beautiful girl to wed" he said. Kane
gently put me on my feet before the other man. " Yes brother, this
is my soon to be wife Loralia, darling, this is my brother Mark, you
will address him as Lord Mark, or Lord Undertaker" Kane said, and
I just nodded again.
"you seem tired little one, it has been a
long day hasn't it" Mark asked me. Softly I spoke, "yes my
lord, it has been a very long and tiring day" Mark and kane both
looked somewhat surprised. "you have a beatifull voice little one
you should speak more often" mark said, kane nodding in approval.
I smilled at
this, my mother always said my voice was annoying so it felt good
hearing other wise.
"Lets go inside darling, its getting to
cold out here for you, I do not want you to fall ill, lets go inside
so you can admire you're new home" Kane said, I nodded and walked
inside.
Hello new life.. goodbye old life..
