Chapter 1

I looked out of my window in my new room, my long red hair flowing freely. It had been two days since, since… well you know, the whole falling in love with your sworn enemy, all right that might be a bit harsh but you understand what I meant. And I hadn't quite gotten used to it yet, not an everyday occurrence for me. Even after two days the court was just now really waking up. It had all been a shock, to everyone, especially me. Shev…Vidanric my Unknown, who would have guessed? Oria had been right it felt good to make peace with Vidanric, even if it hadn't gone quite like she had planned. A knock from the door woke me from my reverie. It was Vidanric.

"We have to tell Bran and Nee, the weight of the secret bares heavily on your shoulders. Plus," his gray eyes twinkled with laughter, "They would be desolate if we kept it from them for to long."

"If we must, I confess I am still a little shocked by all of this. And," my eyes dancing in the light, "I think that Nee has a sense of this already."

As we drew aside the tapestry, I was overcome by uneasiness. ' Calm Mel, it is just your brother and soon-to-be sister.' I repeated these words to myself over and over, breathing fast. Vidanric must have noticed my hesitation for he placed a comforting hand on my shoulder, steering me gently into the room. Inside we were met by a smiling Nee, proving I was right that, and that she had a sense of our relationship. Beside Nee was Bran with his mouth agape.

"Life Mel!" Bran shouted, "Make up your mind!"

"I have," I stated somewhat calmly, "Danric and I are to be married soon after your own wedding."

"That's wonderful Mel!" cried a happy Nee, "But have the Prince and Princess been informed?"

At that I cringed. The sight of my stance made Vidanric's eyes narrow with suppressed laughter.

"Come Mel, they're just my parents, they won't remove your head." Vidanric said and again concealing laughter.

(AN: do you think this guy likes laughing? hehe Isn't he great?)
