(I am really sorry bout the wait but I have had another fic on my mind
which I had to write down.)
Keita was nice so she had a nice plot cookie.
I'll Never Forget You
The Wedding
Daine watched from the window of her bedroom. The three months had crawled by. Now it seemed like everything was moving to quickly.
"Dearest it's time." An arm wrapped around her waist.
"But," She protested, "They're not here yet, I want my friends to be here." She said lamely.
"I'm sorry my dear, I will have the guards inform you when they arrive, but know you must get ready. It is time." Daine dragged her eyes away from the window. She looked at Ozorne. He was smiling. Like a wolf Daine thought, one waiting to go in for the kill. She looked back at the window, then back at him.
"Alright." she said quietly, "I'll go and get ready." She walked out of the room and quickly down the corridor. I can't go through with this she thought, I can't!
"Lady." Daine turned to find the seamstress looking at her worriedly. "Come now. Or the emperor will have me head for not getting you looking more beautiful than you already are. Smile, it's your wedding."
"To a man I don't love."
"Why don't you tell me about it while your getting ready? It will get it of your chest make you feel better." Daine let the woman guide her to her rooms. She showed Daine the dress, which was beautiful (a/n beautiful would be in italics if they worked!!)
"So what's wrong now? Why are you so upset?" The seamstress asked as she ushered her into the dress.
Daine let it all pour out. She finally concluded with, "I'm marrying him because I have to not because I want to. Now the day of my wedding is here, and my friends aren't here to see it."
"Lady they'll be here. They care about you. They won't let you down twice."
"Twice?" Daine whispered.
"By the sounds of it they fair let you down when they didn't come back and get you. I am lucky in that respect lady I do not have friends to let me down."
"It hurts." Daine agreed, "But my life without them was just that little more painful. I didn't want to go back to that and now I have. I'm lonely. I want my old life back."
"When you are empress you'll think different I assure you. You'll think of you're country and not of your friends."
"You can't know that."
"Look at you're husband to be. He became emperor and he felt he no longer needed friends, he even tried to kill his best friend."
"Know about that do you?"
"I'm a maid, I work here, you can't keep anything from us." She began to briskly wrap Daine's hair into a tight knot on the back of her head. She put little white roses at the sides (a/n they did that to me when they forced me to be a bridesmaid *shudder*) She fiddled for a bit longer then she smiled and got a mirror for her.
"You're done." She announced. "You look wonderful even if I do say so myself." Daine got up and looked down at herself. The dress did look nice. But even though she did look stunning she couldn't make herself smile. She couldn't enjoy this day, because her friends weren't here.
A gong sounded throughout the castle, telling Daine what she already knew.
It was time.
(a/n I could be a bitch and leave it here. Or I could continue.scroll down and see what I decide.)
"I can't go through with this." Daine whispered.
"The seamstress looked at her sadly. "You can. You don't think so know but you will." Daine walked towards the door. She closed her eyes for minute. Then she opened then and walked out.
Everything was just like it had been planned. The flowers, the dress, the guests. All accept one. Her friends weren't there. She walked down the isle wondering what he would do to her if she turned and ran. She didn't though, she just continued walking. Till she was facing Ozorne.
The rest of the ceremony passed in a blur, until the part where she had to say 'I do.' She turned to look at the crowd. Eyes scanning for the faces she knew, she found them.
She turned to Ozorne's smiling face and uttered "I do."
(a/n crud chapter really sorry. Guess what! This is almost finished and then of course you've got the sequel.)
