Romeo and Juliet
Chapter 3
It was six-thirty, it came too soon. I was so deep in thought, I guess I lost track of time. I awoke from my dream state, and walked to my chambers. In there, they showed me my costume, an angel. I was undressed, and slipped into the silk fabric that caressed every curve of my body. The wings were that of a pegasus. Long, soft, and beautiful. Some stray feathers waved wildly as they were adjusted onto the back of my dress. I felt as if I were the angel that watched over young lovers in their fight to stay in love.
I took a look at myself. I was suprised at how much older I looked. So mature, yet so innocent at the same time. Glitter was thrown on my cheeks and highlighted my smile. I blushed, and looked over at my mother who had just entered. She was crying, obviously at how grown up I must have looked. She walked over to me and helped me into her arms. I breathed in the scent of her hair, like wildflowers in May. I pulled back and wiped away her tears.
"You look beautiful dear." She smiled.
"Thank you mother. I think we must go to the party. After all, we are the hostesses." I suggested.
She nodded, and took my hand. We walked out of the chambers and to the top of the stairs. There, I looked excitedly to see if my love of my dreams could be there. My mother looked at me, seeing how teaming I was.
"Attention all," she announced," this is my daughter, Lita. And she is sixteen. Her wedding to the prince of Xerion will be on next thursday at the Chapel Of Hearts. You are all invited to this joyous event. Now, let the party begin."
I was finally allowed to walk down the stairs. Then, my eyes started to wonder. Would I meet my prince tonight? I shook off the shiver that ran down my back. A hand reached out an touched my shoulder. I jumped, and turned to see......the prince of Xerion.
"Hi your majesty." I bowed.
"There is no need to bow to me, my fairest. You are the most royalty that there will ever be." He said as he kissed my hand.
I knew him, all to well. We had met with him and his family not too long ago. His name was Neo. Prince Neo of Xerion. And I was to be Princess Neo Of Xerion and Earth. I shuddered at the thought. Sure he was attractive. Brown hair that was in a bowl-cut, blue eyes, tall, muscular, tan, and very sweet. But, I wasn't in love with him.
"Speak of a man." I said whispering.
"Speak of what man?" He asked.
"Speak of a man that lives in dreams, that takes you to the heavens, and that lives in such a world that we do." I stated.
"I don't think there is such a man, but only such a man is worthy of your heart." He replied.
I smiled, and bowed once more. He looked into my eyes, as if he didn't want me to leave.
"I must go, my guests call to me." I said.
"Then, I shall gather with your parents, and talk of the wedding." Neo said, bowing his head.
I turned around, and started to walk in a circle around the room. Where was he? Where was the man that kept me warm in my dreams, and that was torn apart from my lips? I began to grow weary, and walked into the hallway aside of the party. I rested my head upon the side of the railing around the outside of the house. It was another cloudless night. But there was no sign of the ancient stallion that had been in my dreams.
I noticed a bright star to the right of the sky. It seemed to be in the corner of the universe, hidden from prying eyes. It seemed as if it were the planet, just floating away deeper into space. My thoughts were interrupted by the sounds of the party. It seemed as if everybody had someone to hold and kiss. I was buried in my dreamy thoughts, drifting farther away from Earth. But I shook myself out of it. I shouldn't fall asleep here. I could miss him, and never get a chance to meet him. Yet again, drifting in my thoughts. Then, a hand tapped me on the shoulder..
