Starbox : To the worthless load of crap named Starbox,
Go piss you're self you big bitch. You're stupid slandering is no match for my temper.
I'm a big girl with a big mouth so don't mess with me!
I don't associate with little air-head think you're smart bimbo's.
And FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! End you're pathetic little life because I don't car how much you think you're a tough girl, our what you think of me! Because you go insult people where they can't see you. If I in anyway know you I would kick you're butt. You really need that, and I hope I can do that. But I warn you don't go insulting people how have a higher intellect than you. Because one day you will surely come across someone like me who will surly beat the crap out of you. (Not that that's possible seeing that you are crap.) I dear you send me an other mail. I will be waiting.
With hope you die and burn in hell,

Nobody; Chapter two; marriage?

Sixteen years have past, Betha had grown up and was now a young woman. Her life was peaceful, but this day it looked like everything and everyone was against her.

"No, mother!" She screamed leaving the exquisite women's chambers. Her mother had just told her that she would be send to the home of lord Marius Aurelius, to marry his son Alecto, godson of the pope.

"Such a stubborn childe." The lady Cecily said looking at the needlework she was making.

"I shall go after her." The maid Felicity said, she had been Betha's caretaker since the lady was ten summers.

She know Betha well, she was probably running to the stables and cursing. Yes, the lady could curse, better than any stable boy.

"That would be nice, Felicity." Lady Cecily sighed. She has had many trouble with raising her rebellious daughter.

Felicity hurried to the stables, there she would find a moping, and cursing Betha. And yes she was right. The lady Betha was cursing and kicking against a wall.

"Betha the wall can not help you're misfortune." Felicity said kindly.

"They say that walls have ears. Maybe it will listen to me, no one else seems to do that." Betha said giving the wall another kick. She felt like a piece of land, sold of to the highest bidder.

"You're parents just want what is best fore you."

"They not know me, nobody dos." Betha whispered as if it was to herself.

"Nonsense, that is fools talk and you know it." Felicity warned, the lady Betha has a sharp tongue.

"But why do they marry me of to a boy I have never seen?" Betha said, after this she turned to the horse. "Lena, would you have a child with a stallion you never met?" She asked the mare.

The horse shacked its head, like it understood what was told to it.

"And is even younger than you!" Betha continued.

Again the horse shacked its head.

"He is only one year younger." Felicity said, still trying to be calm, you need to be calm in dealing with Betha.

"A year is a year! Who marries a younger man?!" Betha said punching the wall with force.

"Many powerful women, young men are easily manipulated." Felicity said, she knew that it would be something Betha found interesting.

"And as soon as he has a chance of becoming pope, he will let me be murdered, fantastic isn't it?!" Betha said with sarcasm in her other wise soft voice.

"That only happened a few times." Felicity said, whishing that lord Clarence hadn't educated Betha, like one would educate a boy. The girl remembers everything she is told, and that gets her in trouble, many times.

"A few times to many." Betha said with a glare. She was obviously disgusted by the fact of murder for no real cause.

"It will not happen to you. You are a smart young woman. It is more likely that you would let him be killed." Felicity was trying her best to keep Betha from running away, she knew that she would do that if she thought there was no other way out.

"Yes, I am quite smart." Betha said, she didn't like being just a pretty face, she wanted to be referred to as a smart young woman.

"So we're going to Marius Aurelius house?" Felicity said very cautiously. One wrong move could make Betha go insane, and she didn't want that to happen.

"Aye, we are going to meet this Alecto, and if I don't like him. I will run away." Betha said with a determent look on her face.

"Well, you're at least meeting him before running. That's a plus point." Felicity sighed.

"Lets go, we have much work to do."

Three days later lady Betha and Felicity left for the home of Marius Aurelius. With them was a cavalry send by Betha's grandfather. He as well wished his granddaughter to marry well. His granddaughter on the contrary left the castle of her parents screaming; she would rather marry a stable boy with nothing to his name!

After a long time of travelling they arrived at the home of Marius' house. If you could call it that, it was more a castle....

"There awaiting me, that's a good sine isn't it?" Betha thought while looking out of the carriage window. She was in her finest dress and her hair was neatly braided. She was observing Alecto he couldn't see her yet, but she could see him. "He's tall and slender, he is quite handsome. Yet not the man I would marry. I wish not for a man who needs to be protected."

"Handsome boy." Felicity said jabbing Betha in the side.

"If you say so." Betha said. Any girl would be happy to marry such a high placed man, but she wasn't any girl.

The carriage stopped abruptly. Deirdre had arrived to the one place she didn't want to be. The carriage door opened. Betha took a deep breath and stepped out of the carriage. She felt eyes on her. Three pair, they where studying her and she was approved because Marius Aurelius walked up to her.

"Welcomed Lady Betha daughter of lord Clarence." He said. Betha immediately didn't like him.

"It is an honour lord Marius." Betha said making a footfall. She hated this high classed nonsense.

"This is my wife Fuliciana," he said pointing to a dark haired woman, with a faire face. "and this is Alecto." He gestured his son to step forward.

Betha extended her hand to him. She hated this, why did she come? She couldn't remember.

Alecto took her hand and kissed it. Betha had trouble keeping a straight face.

"You most be tired. I shall show you to you're room." Fuliciana said signalling Betha, she followed. She didn't know how long she would be able to contain herself from running away.
