Forbidden Love

Chapter 6

During dinner everyone was making kind conversation. Nothing really important was being said.until.

Frank said to Riff, 'Can you please go and get another bottle of wine from the cellar?'

Riff replied, 'Yes master.' And off he went.

About 10 minutes later, Frank was getting impatient.

'Magenta,' he said, ' Can you please tell your brother that he's taking too long.'

Arwen, Bianca and Mim all gasped at once.

'Is there a problem?' asked Frank politely (if that's possible).

'Uh.' stuttered Bianca, 'N-no, no. We were just.'

'Just uh.'said Arwen, 'We were just. so. overthrown by your hospitality and.we.felt that maybe we should help out!'

Mim kicked her under the table, 'Shut up!' she muttered under her breath.

'Oh no, that won't be necessary,' said Frank, flattered.

'Well,' said Bianca, 'I guess we should be going now.'

They all thanked Frank for a wonderful dinner and made their way up to their room.

Once they were there, they locked and bolted the door.

'Dude, they said brother right?' said Arwen.

'Ooh, yeah,' said Bianca, 'So that's why they can't see each other.'

'Don't you think it's a bit gross?' said Mim.

'But they're in love,' said Arwen, 'I think that people should just accept that. I mean look at how sad they are now. If people would just let them be, then they wouldn't be living their lives in misery!'

'Yeah,' Bianca and Mim agreed.

So after about half an hour, Magenta was in the dining room by herself so the girls decided to approach her.

'Um.' said Bianca, 'Magenta?'

'Yes?' she replied depressively.

'Well don't be angry but..'started Arwen, ' We overheard you and Riff Raff talking this afternoon in the kitchen and we. well.'

'You love him, don't you?' said Bianca.

Magenta sighed, 'Yes I'm in love with him. And I can't be with him because if anyone finds out, we'll be locked up for the rest of our lives...separately. You see, we're all from another planet. We're here because our master wants to build a muscle man. We're come from the planet, Tran Sexual, in the galaxy of Transylvania. We're allowed to do anything while we're home, but while we're here, in this castle, where we've been since we were little kids serving Frank, we can't let anyone know our secret. Riff and I have always been in love. We understand each other like no one else ever could. I can't live without him, and him without me. I can't breathe without him. Every moment we're apart it feels like my insides are withering and dying. Every waking moment I spend with him, I feel so alive and happy. He makes me feel like my life is worth living. But we have to live in this eternal depression because the thought of being away from him haunts me in my sleep. I don't think I'd survive one day without going mad.'

'Wow,' was all Bianca could say. Except for, 'I'm so jealous. I mean not of all that depression but the fact that you have a relationship that deep and pure.'

'That's such a sad story. But a beautiful story,' said Arwen, ' You two have stuck together through everything and your love has always been strong enough to beat it. I admire you people. And I for one would really like to help you.'

'Me too,' said Bianca.

'And me,' said Mim.

Suddenly Riff entered the room. He kept his distance form Magenta. She walked over to him and the girls went all googly eyed.

'Don't worry darling,' Magenta said to him, taking his hand, 'They know,'
