Chapter 2: A Memory Of Better Times
Chapter 2: A Memory Of Better Times
It was the morning after his father had told him of their plans, to send him in his sister place to wed the young Prince of the Capitol Kingdom. Peeta had just awoken from his slumber, that had barley lasted through the night. The young Prince had constantly awoken by thoughts of being taken away from his beloved family, and so he wandered around in his room for some minutes before attempting to fall asleep again.
Peeta got out from bed and looked around; the sun was up and came in between the curtains that were pulled in front of the windows. There was a new set of clothing laid out for him on the far end of the bed, this was a gown that he could recall his sister using. The dress was truly beautiful, the entire dress was detailed with gold patterns while the under dress was white and came out with sleeves that reached far down a long with golden engraved patterns on the far end. The dress was long and reached all the way down to the floor, there was also a set of golden shoes with higher heels that he'd ever wore before.
He walked over to the dress, and reached out to feel the texture of it. The softness of the fabric felt somewhat comforting, reminding Peeta of his mother who would wear dresses like this, but more detailed and with beautiful jewelleries. He knew his other siblings detested their mother as she was never kind to them, but Peeta still loved her, because she thought him how to behave and at the same time would walk long tours with him in the gardens, and tell him stories of when she was young. He missed those times when it would be only him and his mother, but now that she was gone, and he was left to walk alone. He'd sometimes bring his siblings or father, but it was never the same as what they'd share.
While Peeta was deep in his thoughts, the door opened and the sound of Sister Antoinette's voice filled the room.
"Good morning Prince Peeta, it's a beautiful day. You should get up and greet the sun!" She exclaimed, and pushed the curtains away. Peeta blinked as his vision slowly adjusted to the strength of the light that entered the room. "You have to prepare yourself for the travel to Capitol today young master Peeta, the ones that's bringing you is preparing to leave as we speak! There's no time to lose." She gave him a big smile as she gestured for him to come over so she could put the dress on.
"What if they figure out Sister, what will they do to me?" the anxiety in Peeta's voice was clear as a bell, of course the child had a lot to worry about, as from today he'd be living in a castle far away from his family and friends.
"Don't worry my dear child, with someone as adorable as you, they'll never see the difference between you and your sister, they'll simply be taken away with your beauty. Besides after I'm done preparing you for the trip, you'll look exactly like your sister. I'm also coming with you, so you'll never have to worry about anyone else seeing you without a dress and a wig on." She gave out a small chuckle of amusement, and walked over to the dresser where a big blue box was placed. She opened the box and pulled out the most beautiful long haired wig, the exact same length as his little sister's hair was. She walked back over to Peeta and placed it on his head.
"Now you truly look like your beautiful sister, while looking like this, they'll never find out" She smiled at him, and he gazed over to look himself in the mirror, it was true he looked exactly as his sister. He touched the long locks of hair that fell down in front of his face, adjusting to the new image of himself.
"I-I do indeed look like her, but I'm still a boy…" Sister Antoinette sighed and with a few steps gave the young prince a warm embrace.
"Don't worry Peeta, everything is going to be alright"
A while later Peeta was dressed up from head to toe in the beautiful dress, his hair was put up and decorated with jewelleries, same was the rest of him, from head to toe he had beautiful gold chains and large diamonds shining brightly. The last finishing touch was a tremendous necklace that his mother had used to wear, it was her most treasured possession, and now Peeta was the one who got to wear it for the first time after her death.
He felt the tears fall as Sister Antoinette placed it around his neck, he had always loved this particular necklace as his mother would tell him stories of how she got it as a gift from father when they first met. When His mother and father met at a ball for a long time ago, his father had been captured by her beautiful green emerald eyes, and so as time went by and they became closer, he asked his royal jewellery smith to create a necklace that would show the beauty of her eyes and shine bright as the stars. And so it was created with diamonds and emeralds, shining truly as brightly as the stars.
"Mother loved this necklace, I can't believe I get to wear it" Peeta said softly, his hands touching the shining rocks that surrounded his neck.
"Yes, well this is your wedding day, or shall I say… your sisters, and so it's only fair that you'll have the honour of wearing your mother's most treasured necklace." Antoinette whispered, letting the silence that surrounded them linger for a while longer.
The sound of the doorknob being turned, and the door slowly opening made Peeta turn and face his brothers who were now standing inside his room, their faces showed the amazement of seeing their baby brother dressed in his wedding dress for the first time.
"Peeta, you look absolutely stunning" Alex walked quickly over to Peeta and embraced his dear little brother, Alex took a step back to take in the image of Peeta's look.
"I do? Look Alexandre, I get to wear mother's necklace! Isn't it beautiful?" His smile was wide as he proudly showed his brother their mother's treasure. Alexandre returned the smile and gave his brother one more hug.
"Yes you do, and mother's necklace truly makes you shine if possible even more" Alexander kissed Peeta on the forehead, making Peeta giggle.
"It's time to go Peeta, we'll have to leave now for the wedding. I doubt they'll think kindly of us being late." Louis uttered from the far end of the room with the door. With that Peeta and Alex walked slowly towards the door, letting Peeta get used to the feeling of his high heel shoes that he was wearing, Louis put an arm around his brother's waist and lead him through the door and out to the cart that was standing outside.
