"Princess Thea is everything alright in here" a very beautiful lady with long black hair and eyes that sparkled like diamonds. She had a scar above and blow her right eye. She was battle torn but the love radiating out of her for the safety of the young princess was unmeasurable.
"I'm so sorry Thea worried you Captain Lance but could you escort our guest here to her room. She has had a long journey and needs time to rest" Moira said. "Of course your highness" Laurel said and headed over to me. "Please princess, allow me to show you to your quarters" she said. I nodded and followed the warrior.
"This will be your quarters my lady" Captain Lance said as a girl just a couple years younger than myself ran in. "Laurel, dad says that he expects you to be dressed and ready for dinner with the king and queen by sundown. Oh hi, I'm Sara, Laurels younger sister" the young women said as she headed back down the hallway she came down. Laurel sighed. I couldn't help but laugh. "Don't worry, I have sisters too" I said. "Would you like to come in and you can look through what I have to find something to wear" I offered. She looked awkwardly at me but shook her head yes. "We can have some girl talk" I said and we both headed in.
I handed her a orange colored dress with a low neck. She was pulling off her armor and realized I was in the room. "I'm sorry my lady" she said. I smiled and said "no problem, call me Felicity and let's see that dress". Laurel finished taking off her armor and slipped on the dress. I gasped. She was beautiful in it. I could never wear it and make it look so good. "Your absolutely stunning Laurel" I said. She blushed and thanked me.
Heading back to my closet I searched through my clothes. I found a red dress with a v-neck as well and a slit up the side. I put it on and asked "how does it look"? "You look magnificent Felicity. Your going to wow everyone" Laurel said. I thanked her and looked at the clock.
"There is still an hour till lunch let's chat" I said not wanting to be alone. Laurel nodded. "So Laurel, will someone be on your arm tonight at dinner?" I asked inquisitively. Laurel blushed and said "Yes. Her name is Pixel. We have been together for almost five years now." I smiled. "Is the prince single" I asked not even thinking about it. She stared at me, smiled and said "yes he is and I think he has an eye for you" Laurel said. I then remembered the look on his face when I mentioned my daughter. "I don't think so Laurel. When he heard I had a child he went quiet." I said looking at the ground. I felt laurels hand upon my shoulder and she said "he defiantly likes you. As soon as the shock wears off I'm sure he will back to normal". I let myself believe that because it hurt too much not too.
A knock at the door told us it must be about time. I opened it and there stood Lord Tommy and his handsome date from the way he had his arm wrapped around the young man. He had brown hair and the most beautiful brown eyes. "This is Holmes, he is a shifter and is also from a line of ancient Egyptians with wings and he is mine" Tommy said as he pulled Holmes in for a deep kiss. "Hey get a room you too and it's time for dinner. Oh my god Laurel you look amazing" came the voice of her sister from behind the two men. We all laughed and headed towards dinner. I was nervous and excited all at the same time. Hopefully Oliver and I can get back to where we started I thought to myself.
