Author's Notes: I am SO on a roll! It is my fourth chapter today. Aren't I good? It's like a quarter 'til eleven now though. Probably will not get it done by tomorrow but hey! I'm still writing. Well enough of my babbling I'll just let you read the chapter.
Amethyst and the other girls stood there in a room with four beds. The walls were decorated with drawings of roses, against the white wall. The beds were all neatly done and the sheets were made of silk.
They were at the Moon Kingdom. It was Amethyst's first time out of the Milky Way since she lived there. She and the girls all stared at the room in awe.
"Your Majesties, You can leave your belongings here and I will take you to Queen Serenity." Amethyst dropped her bag on her bed, and followed the duke. The sisters did the same.
Amethyst was wearing a simple ice blue silk dress that touched the floor in front and formed a small train in the back. The dress hugged her body to show her small waistline and all the curves of her body; it fitted like a second set of skin. The straps were only a centimeter wide and it showed off her shoulders. Her silver locket dangled on her neck.
They all were wearing the same dress except each one was a different color. Katrina wore a pale red, Trina wore white, and Evaline wore a light blue that was still darker than the one Amethyst had on.
Soon they got to the throne room and Queen Serenity was sitting in the throne with Queen Julianna sitting next to her.
"Mother?!?" Amethyst was surprised. Her mother looked at her in happiness.
"Amethyst, how have you grown into a beautiful young lady." Her mother stood up and walked down to have a closer look at her daughter. The two embraced in a warm, loving hug until Amethyst pulled away.
"I've missed you mother, I've missed my brothers also."
"Tonight you shall make your grand appearance. In the past six years everyone has thought that you disappeared." Queen Serenity stood up.
"Now you should get comfortable in the palace. Consider this place as your home." They all nodded. "If you want, you may use any of the training rooms in this palace. If someone does not let you though, tell him or her to come and talk to me."
"Thank you Queen Serenity. Thank you for everything." Amethyst and the others bowed down and left the room.
Hours later, the girls were at it again. This time Amethyst was dueling Trina with a long stick.
"Don't let your guard down like Eva the numerous times before." Katrina yawned. She was wondering when Tranquility would show up. She would have been excited to watch Amethyst duel but she could hardly wait for Tranquility to show up.
Amethyst hit Trina's stick out of her hands and had her up to the wall. Trina shook her head.
"There has to be a way to beat you Amethyst."
"Perhaps there is, but you don't know it." Amethyst dropped the stick, "Call it a break?" Everyone nodded.
Meanwhile, Prince Athens and his court were walking in the room from the entrance on the other side of the long room. Athens' court consisted on Sir Andrew, Sir Greg, Sir Chad, and Sir Ken.
"Athens, I thought we were the only ones allowed in here. Why are those other people down there?" Sir Andrew asked his Prince.
Sir Andrew was from Venus, his hair was short and dirty blonde. His eyes were a green hazel color. Greg had short brown hair and brown eyes and he was from Mercury. Chad was from Mars; he had long light brown hair that covered his eyes. Moreover, there was Sir Ken. He was from Jupiter. Ken had brown hair and blue eyes.
The Prince was a man of wonders; any girl that had ever looked at him became lost in his blue eyes with hints of violet. His hair was blonde and untamable which made the girls want to run their hands through them.
"I don't know, I guess they're from the ball." Athens walked over towards them, with his court following him. "Excuse me." The four girls turned their head towards Athens. "I don't know if you know this but we're the only ones that are allowed in here."
"Oh really? I didn't see a sign somewhere." A girl with dark blue hair said as she stood up.
"Well it is." said Andrew.
"We didn't see a sign, so we were here first and the room is ours at the moment." Athens stared at the girl. She was amazingly beautiful.
"Are you going to do anything?" Chad nudged Athens in the ribs.
"Huh? Oh yeah. I'm sorry but if you don't get out of here I'm afraid I'm going to have to bring this to Queen Serenity." The girl stood there unimpressed, "I seriously do mean it."
"Queen Serenity was the one that told us that we could use it. If you don't believe me, you can ask her yourself. We're not going to get out even if you tell us to. We'll only get out of here when we're done training." The girl with silvery hair nudged her in the ribs.
"C'mon Amethyst, don't go start trouble. We can find another room to train in."
"Yah Amethyst." Evaline said. "What do you think Katrina?"
"I'm going with Amethyst. I don't care who he is; he can't treat us like that."
"For your information, he here is Prince Athens. Prince of the Moon Kingdom." Ken said.
"Oh please."
"So you don't believe me?"
"Oh no I didn't say that. It's just that I'm not at all impressed. You see us four girls here are the Princesses of the Stars."
"And if you're not impressed by that Amethyst there is Princess of two other worlds."
"Katrina! No one is supposed to know that." Athens leaned against the wall.
"It's true, and it's going to come out sooner or later that you're Princess of Earth too."
"Katrina, I'm not the princess of anything anymore. I'm just Princess of the Stars."
"No you're not. You're still Princess of Earth." Amethyst shook her head. "You are Amethyst."
"Well, well, well having a little trouble deciding if you are or not? Maybe I can help. I can probably tell if you are or not." Katrina turned her head towards the door and smiled. A young man stood there, his hair was jet-black he stood tall.
"Tranquility!" Amethyst kept her back turned from him. Katrina ran over there and hugged him. "I've missed you so much."
"So have I, Katrina." Tranquility hugged her back. "Now who says they don't know if they're a princess of Earth?"
"She's the Princess of Earth."
"What do you mean Katrina? There is no Princess of all Earth."
"There you have it; you're not the Princess."
"Yes there is." Katrina took Tranquility's hand and took him over to Amethyst. "Turn around." Amethyst let out a breath and slowly turned around.
Tranquility stood there, he couldn't believe his eyes. The girl standing there in front of him looked just like his sister, Amethyst. Was she his sister? Tranquility looked down and saw that the locket he gave her was around her neck.
"Amethyst?"
"Yes, big brother?"
"It really is you. You're here; you're alive." Katrina smiled and let go of Tranquility as he took a hold of her and hugged her. "Oh man, I thought you were dead after all these years." He hugged her tightly. "How have you been? Tell me everything!"
"It hasn't been all that bad. How are you and Darien?"
"Well, we've missed you like heck. We've been great. So how long has Katrina been hiding you from me?"
"Oh about six years." Katrina answered. "I wanted to tell you but mom and Queen Julianna wouldn't let me."
"So is she the Princess of Earth?" Ken asked.
"Of course!" Tranquility answered. Amethyst pulled away from Tranquility. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm just feeling a little I-don't-know at the moment. I just need to be alone." Amethyst started to walk away.
"Amethyst wait!"
"No Tranquility, she needs the time." Tranquility nodded in agreement.
"Well can we have our room back now?"
"Yah whatever, we don't need it anymore." Evaline said and left the room with Trina behind her. Katrina and Tranquility walked out hand in hand.
Andrew turned to where Athens was.
"We can train now Athens." Andrew noticed that he wasn't there. "Athens? I wonder were he went." Andrew shrugged and then started to train with the others.
"Hey wait up!" Athens ran up to Amethyst. Amethyst stopped and turned around.
"What do you want?"
"I just wanted to say sorry. I didn't mean to act that way in there."
"It's all right."
"I also think that we got off on the wrong foot."
"You could say that." Amethyst and Athens started to walk.
"Well let me introduce myself. I'm Prince Athens of the Moon Kingdom."
"And I'm Princess Amethyst of Earth, Nemesis, and the Stars."
"So I've heard. Are you going to be at the ball tonight?" Amethyst nodded. "I bet you'll be the prettiest on there." Amethyst blushed. "You're even more beautiful when you blush."
"You're doing that on purpose aren't you?"
"Doing what?"
"Oh please. What else did you want?"
"I just wanted to talk to you."
"About what?"
"Uh, never mind. I will see you at the ball tonight. Later!" Athens ran off.
"That was strange." Amethyst continued walked to her room. When she got there, Queen Julianna was sitting there on the bed looking at her dresses. "Mother?"
"Oh you're here Amethyst. Come here and sit by me." Amethyst nodded and sat down next to the bed. "Here Amethyst. King Terrus wanted you to have it." Julianna handed Amethyst a big square velvet box. Amethyst looked at it. "Open it honey." Amethyst slow opened it and started at it in awe.
"It's beautiful."
"It's your tiara."
"My tiara?" Amethyst looked at her.
"Ask him yourself, Amethyst. He is here on the Moon Kingdom. He wants to meet you." Julianna brushed Amethyst's hair. "Have you met your brothers?"
"I only saw Tranquility."
"Well you'll see Darien soon enough. Let's get you ready for the ball."
"Now? It doesn't start until three more hours though."
"Well it takes a while for a girl to get pretty." Amethyst smiled. "Now go take a shower. I have a dress that I think will look good on you to try on after you finish your shower." Amethyst nodded and then walked into the bathroom leaving the tiara on the bed.
Julianna pulled out a long silvery dress, and set it on the bed. Moments later Amethyst showed up with only her undergarments on.
"Is that the dress?" Julianna nodded.
"Let's start getting you ready." Amethyst took the dress and slipped it on. Julianna smiled and zipped the zipper up from the back.
The dress was silver all the way. The top part was like a tube it showed off her shoulders. It came down to a v-shape around her abdominal and started to spread into a skirt. The skirt was fluffy, it created a small train behind her, and it covered her feet.
"Oh mom, it's... wow, it's amazing."
"I thought it'd look good on you and it does. Now let's get you some shoes." Julianna pulled out a pair of open-toe strap high heals. "These should do." She set them on the ground and then went over to the make-up table. "Come here dear. I've always wanted to dress you up." Amethyst smiled and then sat down. "Hmmm.... I know exactly what to do with your hair."
"What are you going to do with it?"
"I'm just going to make it all little ringlets. You will look so adorable." Julianna started to put curlers, which were used to create little ringlets, in her hair. Amethyst sat there patiently. "Turn around dear. I'm going to apply the make-up." Amethyst did as she was told. Julianna sat in a stool in front of her. She applied ice blue eye shadow and lipstick to Amethyst, along with glitter around her cheeks and eyes. "You look marvelous."
"Mother you didn't have to go through all this trouble."
"Nonsense. You are going to your first ball ever. I want you to look special." With that the three sisters entered.
"C'mon girls we got to get ready." The three stopped as they saw Amethyst sitting there. "Amethyst is that you?"
"Of course it is! Who did you think it was?"
"You look amazing, Amethyst."
"Yeah I do, I have my mother to thank for it. You girls better get ready the ball starts in an hour." The girls all nodded and went to get changed. "Thank you mother."
"It's nothing. Here are some gloves that go wonderfully with the dress. Do you have any jewelry? You neck looks bare."
"Um, I only have the locket that Tranquility gave me."
"If that's the only thing you have. I think it's time to give you my gift to you." Amethyst turned her head, and saw King Terrus. "I have something for you Amethyst."
"King Terrus," Amethyst stood up and curtsied.
"Amethyst you don't have to be formal around me." He walked in and came up to her. "You look so pretty."
"Thank you, it's really all mom's doing."
"It sure was. Now I want you to have this." King Terrus pulled out a necklace out of his pocket. It was a silver chain with a pendent on it. The pendent was a light clear blue globe that had a silver dragon claw clenching on top it connecting to the chain.
"It's beautiful. Thank you." King Terrus put the necklace on her.
"It was my pleasure. You're going to be the star of the ball tonight." Amethyst blushed.
"All right you two. Terrus you go get out and get yourself ready I have to finish getting my daughter ready."
"All right." Terrus kissed the back of Amethyst's hand and walked out.
"Well now, let's get those curlers out." Amethyst sat down on the stood and Julianna started to take them out carefully. The ringlets fell down to her back. Each one was distinctive.
Katrina looked at her Princess in awe. Katrina wore a red ballroom dress that had long sleeves, and was puffy. Her hair was half pulled up and put in a bun.
Trina wore a white dress similar to Katrina but it has thin straps that went over her shoulders. Her hair was split into two sections, one on each side; braids came from those sections staring from behind the ear.
Evaline wore a dress like her two sisters, but was dark blue and it was short sleeved. Her hair was put up into a messy bun.
"Well girls are you gals ready?"
"You bet we are! We're ready to pick up some dance moves if you know what I'm talking about." Evaline exclaimed in excitement.
"Not me, the only dance move I want to pick up are Tranquility's." Queen Julianna chuckled.
"Well you all should go, after I put the tiara on Amethyst." Julianna went to the bed and got the box. She placed the tiara on Amethyst. The tiara was made of silver and there were small bits of diamonds on the tips and edges. Each line was as delicate as a rose. The tiara glimmered on her head. It stood out also because of her dark colored hair. "Well then you're all set to go."
"Thank you mother for everything." Julianna smiled as she watched them walk out of the door.
"You look totally amazing, Amethyst." Trina said after they walked out.
"Thank you, and we better hurry we're already late." The girls nodded and then quickly walked to the ballroom. They were being announced as they came through the door.
"Princess Katrina of the Stars." Katrina walked casually in and down the stairs where Prince Athens stood to greet everyone.
"Princess Trina of the Stars." Trina went through the same process.
"Princess Evaline of the Stars." Evaline walked.
"Princess Amethyst of Earth and the Stars." Amethyst took a hold of then end of her dress and then walked down the stairs. She gulped when she saw that everyone's gazes were on her. Athens smiled at her and offered her an arm.
"Welcome Princess Amethyst." She took his arm and went down the rest of the flight of stairs. "I was right you are the prettiest one here." Amethyst blushed. The music then began.
"I'm sure there are more girls in this room that are much prettier than I am."
"Not in my eyes. May I have the first dance with you?" Amethyst nodded, but kept herself from looking at Athens. Athens led her to the middle of the dance floor, took one of her hands in his own, and then put his other arm around her waist. Amethyst felt a shock go through her body when Athens' hand held on to hers. She put her arm on Athens' shoulder. She danced with grace; she twirled when Athens spun here, her dress fluttered freely under her.
"Aren't you planning on dancing with the other girls?" Amethyst asked as she saw the envy looks that she saw on the girls near by.
"I was only planning to dance with the prettiest girl here." The music stopped and then started again.
"Ahem, may I have this dance with the princess?" A young man asked as he tapped Athens on the shoulder. He had jet-black hair, and ocean blue eyes. Athens smiled.
"Sure thing Dare, only on one condition though."
"What would that be?"
"Don't take her from me."
"Oh I will," Darien winked at me, and took my hand. Athens stood near by. "Amethyst, I've missed you so bad you know that?"
"That's what Tranquility told me today."
"Where were you all these years, when you disappeared?"
"I was at the Milky Way. If you didn't know I'm the princess there."
"Ah... So how is your father?" Amethyst flinched.
"He died, six years ago."
"I'm sorry Amethyst." Darien hugged her. "I didn't mean to bring up bad memories."
"It's all right Dare. So have you found someone yet?"
"Yah, she's that girl that bumped into you eleven years ago."
"Really?"
"She's quite a girl."
"I'm happy to hear that."
"How about you?"
"I haven't found anyone yet." Amethyst shook her head. After the song Darien left and Athens was no where to be found, and she was being asked to dance with by dozens if not hundreds of guys. She couldn't find anyone familiar to her.
Amethyst finally escaped and went out to the empty balcony where there was no one. She sat down on the bench and looked up in the sky. Earth shone, and the trillions of stars glittered.
Amethyst thought and wondered about her lift so far and her future. Would she find a guy that was just right for her? It was possible. It was getting cold. Amethyst felt a tuxedo jacket on her. She turned around and noticed Athens.
"You shouldn't be out here in the cold like that; you could get a cold." Athens said.
"Why aren't you in there dancing with the other girls?"
"Like I said, Amethyst, I only planned to dance with the prettiest girl that is here. The other girls I danced with somehow tricked me into dancing with them. It's almost midnight."
"Yeah."
"Do you Princess Amethyst want to dance with me again?" Athens stood up and held out his hand in front of Amethyst. She smiled and stood up taking the jacket off and then took his hand. The two danced, Amethyst had her head on Athens' shoulder. They only did steps.
"Amethyst?"
"Hmmm?"
"Are you um... free?"
"Yeah."
"Who are you planning to marry?"
"Prince Van," Amethyst paused, and Athens frowned. "Or you." Amethyst felt the joy Athens felt. Athens stopped and she looked up at him. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong. I just think that it's time for the princess to go to sleep. You're getting sleepy."
"I'm not sleepy. I don't want to go anywhere."
"Amethyst I'll see you tomorrow." Amethyst sighed in defeat. Athens picked up his jacket and put it around her once more. He led her down the stairs of the balcony and then led her to her chambers. Athens stopped when they were there. The ball was still going on, the halls were deserted.
Amethyst pushed opened the heavy doors and then Athens kissed her on the cheek and said goodnight. Amethyst did the same and stayed there at the door until Athens disappeared from her sight.
Amethyst got out of her dress, wiped all the make-up off, and then went to bed, dreaming of Athens.
Athens walked to his chambers and then took off his pants, revealing his boxers and took off his shirt and crawled under his sheets. Everything in him felt good; he wanted to see Amethyst again. His heart raced as he thought about Amethyst. The more he thought about her, the faster his heart went. He closed his eyes and fell asleep, dreaming about how Amethyst was his bride.
Well, that's all for now. I'm guessing no one really likes this story considering the fact that I've only gotten one review for three chapters, well if you like it review so I know and I'll continue. ja ne!

"So have I, Katrina." Tranquility hugged her back. "Now who says they don't know if they're a princess of Earth?"
"She's the Princess of Earth."
"What do you mean Katrina? There is no Princess of all Earth."
"There you have it; you're not the Princess."
"Yes there is." Katrina took Tranquility's hand and took him over to Amethyst. "Turn around." Amethyst let out a breath and slowly turned around.
Tranquility stood there, he couldn't believe his eyes. The girl standing there in front of him looked just like his sister, Amethyst. Was she his sister? Tranquility looked down and saw that the locket he gave her was around her neck.

I know exactly what to do with your hair."
"What are you going to do with it?"
"I'm just going to make it all little ringlets. You will look so adorable." Julianna started to put curlers, which were used to create little ringlets, in her hair. Amethyst sat there patiently. "Turn around dear. I'm going to apply the make-up." Amethyst did as she was told. Julianna sat in a stool in front of her. She applied ice blue eye shadow and lipstick to Amethyst, along with glitter around her cheeks and eyes. "You look marvelous."
"Mother you didn't have to go through all this trouble."
"Nonsense. You are going to your first ball ever. I want you to look special." With that the three sisters entered.
"C'mon girls we got to get ready." The three stopped as they saw Amethyst sitting there. "Amethyst is that you?"
"Of course it is! Who did you think it was?"
"You look amazing, Amethyst."
"Yeah I do, I have my mother to thank for it. You girls better get ready the ball starts in an hour." The girls all nodded and went to get changed. "Thank you mother."
"It's nothing. Here are some gloves that go wonderfully with the dress. Do you have any jewelry? You neck looks bare."
"Um, I only have the locket that Tranquility gave me."
"If that's the only thing you have. I think it's time to give you my gift to you." Amethyst turned her head, and saw King Terrus. "I have something for you Amethyst."
"King Terrus," Amethyst stood up and curtsied.
"Amethyst you don't have to be formal around me." He walked in and came up to her. "You look so pretty."
"Thank you, it's really all mom's doing."
"It sure was. Now I want you to have this." King Terrus pulled out a necklace out of his pocket. It was a silver chain with a pendent on it. The pendent was a light clear blue globe that had a silver dragon claw clenching on top it connecting to the chain.
"It's beautiful. Thank you." King Terrus put the necklace on her.
"It was my pleasure. You're going to be the star of the ball tonight." Amethyst blushed.
"All right you two. Terrus you go get out and get yourself ready I have to finish getting my daughter ready."
"All right." Terrus kissed the back of Amethyst's hand and walked out.
"Well now, let's get those curlers out." Amethyst sat down on the stood and Julianna started to take them out carefully. The ringlets fell down to her back. Each one was distinctive.
Katrina looked at her Princess in awe. Katrina wore a red ballroom dress that had long sleeves, and was puffy. Her hair was half pulled up and put in a bun.
Trina wore a white dress similar to Katrina but it has thin straps that went over her shoulders. Her hair was split into two sections, one on each side; braids came from those sections staring from behind the ear.
Evaline wore a dress like her two sisters, but was dark blue and it was short sleeved. Her hair was put up into a messy bun.
"Well girls are you gals ready?"
"You bet we are! We're ready to pick up some dance moves if you know what I'm talking about." Evaline exclaimed in excitement.
"Not me, the only dance move I want to pick up are Tranquility's." Queen Julianna chuckled.
"Well you all should go, after I put the tiara on Amethyst." Julianna went to the bed and got the box. She placed the tiara on Amethyst. The tiara was made of silver and there were small bits of diamonds on the tips and edges. Each line was as delicate as a rose. The tiara glimmered on her head. It stood out also because of her dark colored hair. "Well then you're all set to go."
"Thank you mother for everything." Julianna smiled as she watched them walk out of the door.
"You look totally amazing, Amethyst." Trina said after they walked out.
"Thank you, and we better hurry we're already late." The girls nodded and then quickly walked to the ballroom. They were being announced as they came through the door.
"Princess Katrina of the Stars." Katrina walked casually in and down the stairs where Prince Athens stood to greet everyone.
"Princess Trina of the Stars." Trina went through the same process.
"Princess Evaline of the Stars." Evaline walked.
"Princess Amethyst of Earth and the Stars." Amethyst took a hold of then end of her dress and then walked down the stairs. She gulped when she saw that everyone's gazes were on her. Athens smiled at her and offered her an arm.
"Welcome Princess Amethyst." She took his arm and went down the rest of the flight of stairs. "I was right you are the prettiest one here." Amethyst blushed. The music then began.
"I'm sure there are more girls in this room that are much prettier than I am."
"Not in my eyes. May I have the first dance with you?" Amethyst nodded, but kept herself from looking at Athens. Athens led her to the middle of the dance floor, took one of her hands in his own, and then put his other arm around her waist. Amethyst felt a shock go through her body when Athens' hand held on to hers. She put her arm on Athens' shoulder. She danced with grace; she twirled when Athens spun here, her dress fluttered freely under her.
"Aren't you planning on dancing with the other girls?" Amethyst asked as she saw the envy looks that she saw on the girls near by.
"I was only planning to dance with the prettiest girl here." The music stopped and then started again.
"Ahem, may I have this dance with the princess?" A young man asked as he tapped Athens on the shoulder. He had jet-black hair, and ocean blue eyes. Athens smiled.
"Sure thing Dare, only on one condition though."
"What would that be?"
"Don't take her from me."
"Oh I will," Darien winked at me, and took my hand. Athens stood near by. "Amethyst, I've missed you so bad you know that?"
"That's what Tranquility told me today."
"Where were you all these years, when you disappeared?"
"I was at the Milky Way. If you didn't know I'm the princess there."
"Ah... So how is your father?" Amethyst flinched.
"He died, six years ago."
"I'm sorry Amethyst." Darien hugged her. "I didn't mean to bring up bad memories."
"It's all right Dare. So have you found someone yet?"
"Yah, she's that girl that bumped into you eleven years ago."
"Really?"
"She's quite a girl."
"I'm happy to hear that."
"How about you?"
"I haven't found anyone yet." Amethyst shook her head. After the song Darien left and Athens was no where to be found, and she was being asked to dance with by dozens if not hundreds of guys. She couldn't find anyone familiar to her.
Amethyst finally escaped and went out to the empty balcony where there was no one. She sat down on the bench and looked up in the sky. Earth shone, and the trillions of stars glittered.
Amethyst thought and wondered about her lift so far and her future. Would she find a guy that was just right for her? It was possible. It was getting cold. Amethyst felt a tuxedo jacket on her. She turned around and noticed Athens.
"You shouldn't be out here in the cold like that; you could get a cold." Athens said.
"Why aren't you in there dancing with the other girls?"
"Like I said, Amethyst, I only planned to dance with the prettiest girl that is here. The other girls I danced with somehow tricked me into dancing with them. It's almost midnight."
"Yeah."
"Do you Princess Amethyst want to dance with me again?" Athens stood up and held out his hand in front of Amethyst. She smiled and stood up taking the jacket off and then took his hand. The two danced, Amethyst had her head on Athens' shoulder. They only did steps.
"Amethyst?"
"Hmmm?"
"Are you um... free?"
"Yeah."
"Who are you planning to marry?"
"Prince Van," Amethyst paused, and Athens frowned. "Or you." Amethyst felt the joy Athens felt. Athens stopped and she looked up at him. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong. I just think that it's time for the princess to go to sleep. You're getting sleepy."
"I'm not sleepy. I don't want to go anywhere."
"Amethyst I'll see you tomorrow." Amethyst sighed in defeat. Athens picked up his jacket and put it around her once more. He led her down the stairs of the balcony and then led her to her chambers. Athens stopped when they were there. The ball was still going on, the halls were deserted.
Amethyst pushed opened the heavy doors and then Athens kissed her on the cheek and said goodnight. Amethyst did the same and stayed there at the door until Athens disappeared from her sight.
Amethyst got out of her dress, wiped all the make-up off, and then went to bed, dreaming of Athens.
Athens walked to his chambers and then took off his pants, revealing his boxers and took off his shirt and crawled under his sheets. Everything in him felt good; he wanted to see Amethyst again. His heart raced as he thought about Amethyst. The more he thought about her, the faster his heart went. He closed his eyes and fell asleep, dreaming about how Amethyst was his bride.
Well, that's all for now. I'm guessing no one really likes this story considering the fact that I've only gotten one review for three chapters, well if you like it review so I know and I'll continue. ja ne!
