I do not own the twilight saga

Chapter 2

The guards didn't even check inside the carnage when we passed through the gate, so we didn't even have to use the masks and present clothes we took just in case. We rode in the back seat for a while. Silent, just in case the horseman would recognize out voices.

Once we were most way down the road, Luke leaned forwards and asked the horseman to pull over on the side of the road. That one of us was feeling sick and we needed a break. He did so and once Luke and I were out of sight of the houseman, we were running, and silently laughing along. We dropped the masks and the clothes in our hands, and then took of sprinting south.

The small pond we ended up at was deep and clear. It as actually the place where I met. I was here with my sisters fooling around once when I was twelve, and we found Luke there. A homeless orphan who was lost looking for the castle, hoping to work there until the jury found him a home.

My sister's cruel plan was to lead him in the opposite direction. But I was with him and told him to crawl into the back compartment of the carriage and I would let him out when we got there. When my sisters found out, they, of cores, were mad at me. But they soon got over it when they saw him deliver all my meals to my before theirs were even done being made, and watched him sit down next to me and talk to me about my day. It was always so sweet.

Then the first nigh I went missing, and they found me in his quarters at midnight.

And that was only two years ago now.

"So should we just sit here, or should we get in?" I asked him.

"Lets sit out fro a while." He said. "I feel like I haven't seen you in so long."

"You see me every day." I reminded him. He was always the one who would come up to the royal quarters and put fresh sheets on our beds. He always took as log as he could on mine, and some days, I would "accidentally spill" something on mine, so he would have to come back and do it all over again.

"Not really." He said "its not enough for me"

"Its not enough for me ether. I want to spend every second of every day with you and never let you go." I explained, "You know I would have ran away again, last fall, when you were in prison. It was the worst days of my life. All the time I was wondering if I will ever see you again, and I barley had the voice to say that even to you." The whole while I was talking, he was rubbing my back. Just listening to the sound of my voice, like I do to him on occasion. Not hearing, just listening.

"I know, sweetheart. I would be the same for you." He sighed.

"I was looking at the archives the other night," I started

"And?" he asked

"And I found something. It's in the fourth book of the first house. It states that only the king or queens eldest child is allowed to marry, if only to make the acceptation to the younger ones the eldest must be married first, then to proceed. Do you know what that means?" I asked

"You must get married before your brother can?" he asked in confusion.

"Yes." I told him.

We were silent for a minuet then.

"You know what this means right?" I asked. Even though I'm sure we both knew. I would need to be married. Soon. The reason my mother didn't tell me earlier was because she didn't want me to find a way out of it. She would bring me back someone. Someone I would have to be with. Forever. She lied.

I didn't want that.

"What are you going to do?" Luke asked me.

I slightly flinched at his words. Hating the way he sounded when he didn't get the point. What I was really asking him to do.

"You don't get it. You don't want to." I said slowly, looking down.

"Get what? What are you talking about," I looked up at him then, my expression full of meaning.

"Oh." He said, "Now I see."

He stood us up then, took my elbow, and walked us towards tore line, and stopped once about when the water was just above our ankles.

"Tanya Anastasia Brighmer," he started. I felt my face get hotter. "Will you, forever and always, and in the flames of hell, be my wife?"
