May looked out through one of the palace windows to see where Drew was. She smiled because he had seen her too. She ran down the stairs and into the garden to see Drew. He held out his arms and she ran into open arms. He lifted her and she smiled. When he put her down they were still holding hands.
"So, I'm guessing you didn't get in trouble."
"Not as much trouble as I thought I 'd be in." May smiled. "I just received a warning."
"Well that's great." Drew smiled at May. She just blushed. Then she released someone called her name.
"May." They called again. She turned around to see Misty. "Come quickly."
"What's wrong?"
"Your dress."
"My dress, what happened?" May called. Then she looked at Drew. "I'll be right back."
"But-" Before he could say anything she was gone.
~~~~~*~~~~~
"Misty," May called from the other side of the hallway.
"May, I'm glad I found you."
"Why? What happened to me dress?"
"It's ruined."
"What? How?"
"It was a rat named Sarah. She tried on your dress and ripped it."
"What? Show me."
Misty walked her into the room where her dress was found. Inside the room was the king, queen, Sarah, Misty, Alex and now May. May curtsied and looked at the dress. It was dress torn . The beautiful dress was laid across the bed. May took the dress in her hands and cried, "My mother's dress. My mother's dress. It's… ruined. I can't wear it like this."
"Sarah, I think you have something to say to May." May looked up at Sarah with tears in her eyes.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have tried on the dress. It's your dress and your wedding not mine. I'm sorry." Sarah said.
"Apology accepted." May faked a smile and look back down at her dress.
"You can leave, Sarah." The queen said.
"Don't forget your punishment." The king said. Sarah curtsied and left the room. She closed the door and walked away.
"Gosh. It's just a dress. Get another one. It's no big deal."
~~~~~*~~~~~
"May are you okay?"
"I'll be fine." She said, "but my dress isn't."
Then the designer came up to her and said, "Maybe I can fix. It won't be the exact same but it'll be pretty close."
"Thank you." May looked up and smiled. Misty handed her a tissue and she wiped her eyes.
"Will you be okay?"
"Yes, your highnesses."
"Now everything will be okay." The queen patted her back. May nodded her head. The designer took the dress. "Will the dress be ready by the wedding?"
"I'll try, your highness." The designer bowed and put the dress in her bag.
"Thank you." The designer left.
~~~~~*~~~~~
May sat with Drew on the swing that hung on the tree branch. May was calm again and she hoped her dress would be ready before the wedding.
"Don't worry, May. Everything will turn out perfect."
"How can you be sure?" May asked smiling as they looked up at the moonlight.
"Because I'm marrying you aren't I?" May smiled. He stared into her eyes. May blushed. "I can't believe I'm getting married to the most perfect woman in the world."
"I'm not perfect."
Drew smiled. "You're perfect for me and I love you, May." He touched her cheek.
Then he kissed her. It was only a peck but they had gotten their point across. They smiled at each other and May put her head on his shoulder. "I love you too, Drew."
Drew put her arms around her waist and watched her fall asleep as they slowly rocked in the swing. Raindrops fell on them as they smiled.
"It's raining."
May stood and turned around in circles with her mouth open wide trying to catch rain drops on her tongue. She was about to fall and instead of crashing onto the ground she land in a pair of arms. She looked up smiling. She fell into Drew arms instead of falling in the soon to be mud. They held each other and smiled as the rain become heavier. Pretty soon they were both soaked. They smiled and kissed each other passionately. They pulled away when the rain came down harder. May and Drew ran hand in hand out of the rain and into the castle.
~~~~~*~~~~~
Drew was walking May back to her room and they were still wet. They held hands as they walked down the halls. They finally stood at May's door. May looked Drew in the eyes. Drew took both her hands in his. He kissed them both. May blushed when he did so. Then he kissed her. She wrapped her hands around her neck and he held her waist. It was a soft and gentle kiss. When they pulled away they stared into each other's eyes and they couldn't look away. They were completely captivated by each other. May blushed and he smiled. They were lost in each other's eyes and they couldn't be found. They were exploring the depths of their love. May looked into his emerald eyes. They were pure with a rare warmth and a fiery passion. She could tell he loved her like the flowers love rain. In May's sapphire eyes, Drew could tell there was sympathy, harmony, caring, loyalty and the list could go on forever. But what Drew noticed the most was the constant love in her eyes. That look she gave would never change.
"I guess this is goodbye." May looked down but the magnetic force in his eyes made her look back up into his eyes again. It could have also been his finger lifting her chin so he could kiss her again. This time it was only a peck.
"Good night."
"Goodnight, Drew. I love you." May closed the door. She smiled and so did Drew as he walked away.
~~~~~*~~~~~
May had already bathed and now she sat brushing her hair and looking into her mirror. She smiled. "In just a couple of days, I'll be marrying the greatest man in the world," May said, "And he loves me."
May giggled and continued brushing her hair. Then she heard a knock on her door. She was surprised by the knock. It was late so who could be at her door right this very second. "Who is it?"
"It's me." May went to the door with the brush still in her hand. She opened it.
"Sarah, what are you doing here?"
May could tell she was crying or at least she looked like she was. Tears poured from her face like a waterfall. "I have to talk to you."
"About what?"
"We can't talk here. The walls have ears."
"Then you can come in." May said.
"No I have somewhere private we can talk. Follow me." Sarah grabbed May's hand before May could retaliate. May dropped her brush as she ran. It laid in the middle of the carpet. The door was still open.
"Where are we going?"
"Somewhere where no one will be listening." She led her through a bunch of hallways and even down a flight of stairs. She tried to pull away from Sarah's grip but it was too tight so May just followed. May couldn't see anything when Sarah stopped to catch her breath.
"Can we stop? I mean. I guess we're far enough from everyone."
"No not yet." Sarah leads May a little bit forward.
"Do you know the way back?" May asked letting Sarah lead the way because she didn't know the way back.
"Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just a few more steps then we could talk." Then May was pushed and fell to the cold ground. Then May heard a heavy metal and a locking sound. It sounded like iron doors slamming and being locked. All of a sudden, May seen the candle light and she looked around. The first thing she noticed was the rats that scattered across the floor and hiding behind various around her. Naturally the first thing she did was scream as she backed against the cold bars. She was surrounded by bars. She was in the underground cellar underneath the castle.
"Sarah, let me out. Please, I'm begging you. Please."
"Why should I?"
"Because I'm getting married in a couple days. Please just let me go and no one has to know about it. It'll be our little secret."
"No. I don't think so." Sarah said, "You know what I do to people who stand in the way of what I want. They suffer."
"What did I ever do to you to make you hate me?"
"You took Drew away from me. If it wasn't for you, I would have been marrying Drew."
"Drew rejected all of the princess before he even met me. So if Drew loved you he would have married you, but he doesn't love you. He barely likes you. If you go through with this then he'll hate you."
"I'm willing to take that chance." Sarah said, "If we get married before you're found, then he'll be mine. I'll be his queen and I'll give him plenty of sons. Then he'll forget about you. I'm sure of it. Plus he has to be married in a few days. If he isn't married in a couple of weeks he'll be forced to deny his crown. He can't be king without a bride so his parents will have to arrange a marriage and I'm their first choice."
"You can't do this to me." May sat close to the bars and started to cry. "Please." She cried even louder. "I love him. I love him."
"Shut up." She screamed it twice… three times. Then she stood in front of May and pulled her hair. May screamed. "SHUT UP!!!!"
"Ok." May became silent. "Stop, please." After a few seconds she let go of May's hair. Sarah started walking up the stairs. "Wait, Sarah?"
"What?" Sarah turned towards her.
"Do you love him?"
"What?!"
"Do you love, Drew?" May asked again.
"I heard the question. It's not about love. It's about marriage. Love is so juvenile and so unwise. It's not good to care about someone so much. It makes you do crazy things."
"Have you ever been in love?"
"No. I don't need. It makes you blind."
"Is that why you won't talk to Nathan? Is that why you don't even talk to him anymore? Is that why you won't even dance with him? Are you scared of falling in love?"
Sarah was silent and she finally spoke again. "No. I'm scared of nothing. I'm not making the same mistake my father made. He fell in love and now he's miserable ever since she died. I'm not ending up like that. I'm marrying Drew and there's nothing you could about it." Sarah walked up the stairs with light leaving May in the dark jail.
~~~~~*~~~~~
The sun rose and Drew woke up happy. He had never been this happy in his whole life. He'd be marrying the one he loved. Love, it was the most amazing thing in the world. He fell and now he doesn't want to get back up. They way looked into each other's eyes and they would just be doing that for hours.
He showered and had his breakfast in bed. He walked out of his room and looked out at his friends who were up playing tennis. He smiled. They were always playing tennis. Drew knew something from the second he looked at May's open door. The bed looked as if she never went to sleep. The sheets were perfectly turned down. Something was wrong. He could tell. Maybe he was being a little paranoid. He was never too cautious, but something was wrong. He walked out off May's room and seen Ash and Misty.
"Have you seen May?"
"No. She should be with you or in her room."
"She's not in her room." Drew said.
"Maybe she's in her parents' room." Ash says.
"I don't know." Drew said. "I maybe I'm just going crazy."
"Yeah probably," Ash said.
"I don't think so." Ash and Drew both looked at Misty as she spoke, "Wasn't there a storm, last night?"
"Maybe she went to her parents."
"Why would she go to her parents when she could go to Drew?" Drew's eyes shout wide open. He was worried about May.
