Hey guys! LOve u lots
Adventi's POV
"You look magnificent, Adventi!" my stylist Geniva, says, smiling brilliantly at me. Her blue eye shadow makes her grey eyes pop out and I smile at her beauty.
"Can I see yet?" I ask bouncing on my heels from excitement. Geniva nods and drags me to the mirror. My wavy, auburn hair falls in waves to my chest, the back in an elegant twist, leaving the front loose. The shine from my dress bounces off the mirror, illuminating my twinkling blue eyes. "Wow," I breathe out, touching the mirror with one finger.
"Come on, Adventi!" Kenneth Lancaster, my mentor, clucks. I can see he has Rolocot trailing behind him, and despite the circumstances I smile. His suit is made of the same sequins of mine.
"Hey Adventi," he says, grinning at me.
"Hi, ready?" I ask.
"A bit nervous, I have to confess," he says, never failing to smile. I grin, slipping my arm through his.
"Let's do this thing," I say.
The horse's nose nuzzles my back and I swivel around, afraid for a second.
"It's just a horse," someone says. I turn, thinking I'll see Kenneth.
"Oh, hi," I say, finding Patrick Macdougall standing by my side.
"You got an alliance?" he asks, staring at me.
"Umm.." I say.
"Yes, she does," Rolocot says, hopping into the carriage. Patrick glares at him and then turns to me.
"You sure?" he asks. I glance at Rolocot.
"What he said," I say. Patrick rolls his eyes and then wanders away. "What was that?" I hiss at Rolocot.
"That was me trying to become your ally, ally," Rolocot says, winking at me. I try to hide my grin as the chariot lurches forward and the horses start trotting. I smile, waving on the outside, but on the inside I am screaming afraid, to be on a chariot with horses. I try to catch sight of Patrick in his chariot but my eyes fail me. As the lights turn back on and my chariot comes to a stop, I turn my attention to Kenneth who is squealing about how good we were.
