Chapter 6
Lin's POV
"Dimitri what do you think your parents want?' Mom asked as we all half ran towards the main door. Dimitri's face turned into concern, "I don't know Glinda but whatever they want I know for sure it isn't good." Megan grabbed his hand tight as we all finally made it to the door. I began to worry, what would be so important that Dimitri's parents just had to come here? The question burned in my mind and Megan's nerves weren't helping me or her either. The doors to the palace opened and a big group of guards in fancier uniforms than our guards came in along with two royal looking people. "Presenting, Sir Troy, and Mistress Amber of the Uplands.' One of the guards said loudly. Oh boy! I thought as my nervousness grew. As soon as Amber laid eyes on Dimtiri she gasped and ran full force and flung her arms around him. "Oh My boy, Dimtri I've missed you so much." She said quickly but he voice lacked worry, concern, love, all that was there was a snobbish deep voice. Dimitri signed and barley patted her back. "Mom I'm fine and you knew I was here." He said sounding annoyed. 'Mom what are you doing here anyway?" Amber brushed back her dark brown hair gave all of us a stern look. "Dimitri, your father and I think its time that you find yourself a bride. You have never really been interested in having one but we feel that it is time. You need not to be wasting your life away with books, legends and arts." My mouth fell open. Okay you have got to be kidding me. There was no way Dimitri, a sweet, kindhearted and fun man like him. Could be the son of theses crazy snobbish people. Mom, Dad, Jen, Nessa, Rye ,Megan Elphie, and Fiyero all looked shocked at what Amber had just said. Obviously they were just as shocked as me. Dimitri grabbed Megan's hand and brought her forward, placing his arm around her waist. "Mom, this is Meg-." "DIMITRI!, This has gone on far enough. You will return with us back home this minute. We are having a ball for royals across all of OZ. You will choose one of the princesses from the ball to be your bride. I will not have you throwing your life away with all this love, and dream nonsense." Troy yelled pulling Dimitri away from Megan with great force. My blood began to boil and I'm sure Meg's was too. Megan and Dimtir fought to get back to one another but the guards grabbed her and held her back. 'Dimtir, please leave him alone." Meg begged. That was when I lost it. "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?" I yelled stepping in front of Mom and everyone else. 'YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO DO THIS!" Troy chuckled, "Little girl I have all the right he is my son after all. And don't think I don't know ho you are. Linda the Lovely or not I still have my rights." He growled and I glared at him with disgust. "Let me go NOW!" Dimitri ordered fighting against the guards. "Mom please is there anything you can do?' I asked noticing the tears beginning to form in Megan's eyes. Mom looked at me sadly and shook her head. "I'm sorry darling but there is nothing I can do. Even if this is very unjust." Amber signed and said, "Say your goodbyes Dimitri we leave at once." The
guards released Dimtir and Megan and they ran into a hug. "They can't do this. I love you Dimtir." Megan said fighting tears. Dimtir lifted her chin in her hand and kissed her passionately. "I know Love, but we will make it through this. Don't think I'm giving up." Dimtri said reaching down and pulling the sliver ring off his finger. "This ring is my royal ring. It is a symbol of who I am." He said placing it on Megan's finger. "Until I get you a better ring. Let this be a sign of our love." He said as he wiped a tear from Meg's cheek. "I will I promise. I will try and find a way I swear on my life." She said kissing him again. I looked around and saw that Nessa and Rye, Mom and Dad, and Elphie and Fiyero all were gripping their love's hands tight. They could not even begin to imagine what they would do if what was happening to Dimitir and Megan happen to them. "Alright, time's up." Troy said and motioned the guards to pull Dimitri and Meg apart. "No NO!. Dimitri." Meg begged as she was pulled out of Dimitir's arms. "Megan, I love you. Always know that, we will find a way. Promises me Lin. Promise me you will help us find a way." Dimitri said as he was dragged away. 'I promise Dimitir." I whispered letting my hands ball into a fist. My anger was at the point but I knew I couldn't loose control not now. "Lady Glinda, you are all welcome to attend the ball. It would be an honor to have you." Amber said trying to seem sweet but I saw through the fake smile. She was only inviting us because of who we were. Mom nodded. "We would be honored, we will see you soon." Elphie said sounding confident but anger was tight in her voice. And with that Dimitri and his parents were gone. Within that second Megan fell to her knees , laid her hand with Dimitri's ring on it across her chest and began to sob uncontrollably. Jen and I embraced her hoping to calm her down. I took some of her sorrow away well I tried and placed hope with it. "Megan, don't worry I'm not going to that ball and letting Dimitri marry someone else. We will find a way, there is always a way." Mom said sternly. Meg managed to speak and say "Thank you, all of you." I rubbed her back smoothly think that it couldn't get any worse. But I was wrong. Oh was I wrong. Because just out of the blue there was a load boom that could be heard from the south stairs. Everyone jumped a mile when Fiyero yelled, "Come on." Everyone followed towards the sound with fright of what could have happened. "You just had to think it couldn't get any worse didn't ya Lin?" Megan joked as we ran.
