Web of Desire
ch.3
Thinking of you...
Koriand'r had run to her bedchambers and had locked the doors, not wanting anyone to see her tear stained face. It was hard, but several hours later, she pulled herself up and walked out toward the infirmary. After entering the infirmary, she was impelled by the lack of people, actually, there was no one at all! Sure her sister was the sweetest piece of candy around, but still, someone, even father mother, could show compassion. Koriand'r had steadily approached the side of her sisters resting bed. Most of her leg was bandaged up and her face had a few covered up wounds. But Koriand'r still remembered(to her dismay), the large, what seemed like hole, in her sisters chest. She carefully gripped her sister's dress strap, and slid it down. Koriand'r quickly covered her mouth in utter shock. There was now a small, black hole in her chest with a tube sticking out. Apparently, it was hard for her sister to breathe. An image of her sister, waking up and gasping frantically, appeared in her mind. Koriand'r walked out, pulling up her dress so she could run slowly back toward her bed chamber.
" What is the rush, young daughter? We have vistors again", echoed the voice of her mother from across the hallway. Koriand'r stopped abruptly and swereved around.Visitors?
It had been, not Prince Redman, but his father, King Grey, and Prince Robin. He seemed more of a respectul man and less of a conceited low-life. Her father and King Grey had decided on talking about the wedding plans, leaving Prince Robin behind. Her father told her to keep an eye on him and also, to keep him company. Both had stood awkwardly next to eachother. He seemed interested with the ceiling, which had many Tamaranian gods and goddesses painted wonderfully on, while Koriand'r stared blankly at the marble floorit was perfectly polished and had a soft, light tone of pink.
Koriand'r interrupted the eternal silence." How are you feeling, Prince Robin", questioned Koriand'r, glancing up at him.
" I'm okay, and please, just call me Robin." His manner of speech was different than hers. The way he spoke, was rather layen back, and hers was more...proper.
They turned away once more. Koriand'r blushed. It seemed hard to talk to him, as every time he looked at her, it made her stomach feel, happy.
" Are you pleased with your engagement", he asked.
" Y-yes, Pr-, Robin, I am." Koriand'r stuttered while saying it. It was a lie, of course, and was even harder to say to him. She wanted to tell him everything, how miserable, digusted, and angry she was about being forced to marry Prince Redman... but she held her tongue.
" Sooooo... Koriand'r, how did you get such a, unique, name?" He looked very curious. I suppose it would be curious to Earth people, for some had names like Penelope, and Cindy, competely different than Tamaranians.
" My name", she paused for a second then continued," It came from a long line of my royal relatives." She did not want to say royal, but there seemed no other way to say it.
" Royal huh? Interseting...", he said, the preceeded to stare at the walls this time. Walls... oh no. Robin then spotted the large hole where she had... nearly killed her sister. He cocked an eyebrow and was about to speak but she spoke up quickly.
" Your brother is n-n-ice." Once again she had to force out the lie. Robin looked at her in bewilderement.
" Nice? Only to beautiful woman." she was flustered and blushed. He said I was beautiful, I think? Well, he did say only to beautiful woman, or maybe it was Prince Redman's view. I should not care. He's not that one I was marrying. But I wish- no! Don't think about that, it will make me want to think about him more.
" You are beautiful. Especially your eyes", he said, smiling at her. Koriand'r was about to speak again but he cut her off.
" About your name again, can I give you a nickname?" Robin pleading eyes made her smile.
" Nickname? Um, okay...", she had a vague idea of what a nickname was, but not exactly.
" I was thinking, Starfire", he said, then went on again," I don't know how I thought of this name, but it is pretty, I guess." He lowered his head, so his silky, blach hair covered his liquid blue eyes. They were as beautiful as hers.
Koriand'r and Robin inched closer, smiling at eachother. It seemed they were getting along very well, like brother and sister, like they were meant-
The room in which King Grey and King Myand'r had entered, had its doors pushed open again, both the kings exiting will stisfaction. Koriand'r and Robin slid away from eachothers reach again and glanced at their fathers. King Grey started speaking," The wedding will be held on Earth-"
" But more of a, Tamaranian, style", finished her father. Koriand'r didn't care about the style because she did NOT, want the wedding at all. She bowed her head and hurried away in the direction of her bed chamber. Turning her head as she left, she saw the dissapointed look on Robin. She gave him a smile as she hurried away, while the two kings were chatting. To her enjoyment, he smiled back.
When Koriand'r entered her room, she was happy to see Raven, waiting on her bed. They had talked like usually, but Koriand'r was still thinking of Prince Robin, or Robin, what he told her to call him.Robin... She was so lost in thought she could not hear Raven repeating her name.
" Koriand'r, Koriand'r, KORIAND'R!", yelled Raven, waving her hand back and forth infront of her face. Koriand'r looked up and shook her head.
" What...?"
" Were you listening to anything I was saying?"
" Yes... no, sorry."
" Well, what were you thinking about?"
Koriand'r sighed with hapiness." Prince Robin; we were talking and his personality, completelt opposite to his brother." Raven raised her eyebrow." Are you not going to marry Redman." Calling him a Prince, made Raven angry, because he did not act like one, so she refused to call him as a prince.
" I do not want to think about my terrible wedding day. And Raven, I was told by my father, that it will be held on Earth." She did not know why Raven gaped at her until she spoke," Won't that mean you will have to stay on Earth for awhile before the wedding, and have to be near Redman!" Koriand'r was startled. How could she have not noticed earlier. Being so close to him... Raven gave her a sad hug. She knew of the displeasure Koriand'r had when around him, and after the nightmare, it would be a worse fear toward him. If only Robin were the older brother, then I could marry him; stop thinking of him! Koriand'r pulled away from the kind hug and told Raven she could leave.
She felt pity for Raven. Like Scarlet, Raven had been forced away from her home, on Azerath, and taken as a servant. The people of Azerath were tranquil, wise, and kind-hearted, and did not believe in the concept of war. But actually, they gave Raven to the Tamaranians, believing she were and evil omen and would bring great chaos among their land. So, they really considered her a witch, or sorceress, a person of magic, but what they told, dark magic. Her father, had ordered the Azerath people, to put a special hold over her, or else they would not take her. This special hold over her, prevented Raven of ever using her dark magic. Of what Raven had told her, her powers were a gift, not evil. Raven could levitate a short distance over the ground and also had control over small objects using her mind, called telekinesis. It was horrible when Koriand'r saw how the Tamaranians treated Raven. Raven, after working for eight years, and meeting the age of fifteen, was ordered to Koriand'r, as her servant. They bonded rather well, and finally, were like sisters, more than what Koriand'r and Komand'r could ever meet. After Ravn had told everything, every torturous detail she said being on Azerath and, on Tamaran, Koriand'r came to hate both planets. Maybe Earth would not be as hard to indure.
Shortly after leaving, Raven nearly knocked down the doors opening them again." He's here, Prince Robin and... Redman", Raven said with excitment but hissed Prince Redman's name at the end. Koriand'r went to the wardrobe and put on a dress, rather than a robe. She tried to find the finest dress she had, not to impress Prince Robin of course, but Robin.
The dress she wore as she walked down the hallway once again, was white, the purest of all colors, and flowed gracefully down to her knees; a shorter dress rather than long. She was not in the mood to have her dress drag across the floor, it felt heavy. This time, her red hair was held up in the middle with a shiney, crystal clip; the clip being infront of the annoying crown. She, surprisingly, wanted her sister to be there with her. Call her mad, but she loved her sister, but not as much as she did for Raven(not as lovers. As sisters. Not a RaexStar fic).
Raven told her they were waiting in the Great Hall. Surely enough, there they were; Prince Redman(Koriand'r frowned), King Grey, her father and mother, and... Robin(Koriand'r smiled wildly).
" Pleased to see me, of course", said Prince Redman. She looked away and grew red with anger. The green light kept flashing in her head but she could not tame her frustration toward his attitude. King Myand'r, noticing her anger, started speaking," Uh, you can tell her King Grey." He wanted to turn her attention to someone else, also in fear of what could happen.
She turned to the king and Robin." You will be brought to Earth in an hour, of course to get a feel to your future husband and our planet." He paused," You can start getting ready now if you like?" She was bewildered. Leaving, now?
Koriand'r turned around and walked back to her bed chamber. It was getting worse for her and soon she will be have to bare all of his actions toward her.
