Siblings There You'll Be
Chapter 6
The Truth
Later on after they left the party Angel sat alone on a rock as her siblings were fast asleep not to far away, thoughts flooded her mind as she looked up at the stars. She drew a heavy sigh as a shooting star shot across the sky, she closed her eyes and made a wish to herself unknowing that someone was watching her.
"Penny for your thoughts," said a voice from behind her, causing her to jump slightly.
She turned to see her friend there "Hi," she said giving him a shy smile.
Yakko made his way over to her side "May I?" he asked pointing to a spot next to her.
"Yes you may," she replied
He sat down "Now as Scratchy would say it what is on your mind?"
She looked up at him with a confused looked "Who?" she asked
"Long story," he replied with a short laugh "but you can tell me."
"Okay I'll tell you," she said taking a deep breath before she continuing "well from where we're from my father is the king and since I am the oldest I have to get married."
"Wow that's deep,"
"I know tell me about it," she said jumping up "I mean I lied to you before about my sibs and I playing...the truth is I was running away and they followed."
Yakko stood up and placed his hand on her shoulder seeing that she was about to cry "It's alright," he whispered
"How?" she sniffed "If I would never had run away my youngest brother would still be alive."
Angel could hold back her tears anymore and as they started to flow down her cheeks she buried her face into his chest, Yakko felt bad for her "Shh...It's going to be alright," he said stroking her gently on the back of head.
"I hate being a princess," she cried pulling herself away "and I hate that I have to marry someone I've never met before."
Yakko looked at her "Forgive me for asking I'm new to this but why do you have to marry someone you don't know?"
She turned back to him "It's how it's always been the first royal born has a chosen mate from birth from the king and then poof when we get old enough we get married."
"I see that sounds tough," he said still trying to comfort her
"Oh it is and that is why I ran away, I just wanted to be free," she said looking back at the stars.
"Free?" he asked now he was the one confused
"Here I'll show you," she said starting to sing...
The life of a princess
from her birth is well defined
•
She must humbly serve her country
play the part she's been assigned
•
She guards the hopes of her people
weak & mighty, rich and poor
•
Who could ever ask for more
Yakko found himself asking the same thing
and he did not know why (who could ever ask for?)
I want to be like other girls
Climb up a tree like other girls can
Just to be free like other girls
Get to be
•
To slouch when I sit
To eat a whole cake
Feel the sun on my feet
•
Get dirty-
she sang as leaped into a small mud puddle and started to dance around in it.
Act silly
Be anything I want to be
dance around
•
To run really fast
Get crazy like you guys
•
No escorts
No manners
No nursemaids
No worrys
No hands folded perfect,
like holding a lily
•
No pinchy shoes?
I want to be like other girls
Scrape up my knee like other girls can
Just to be free,
like other girls
Get to be...
"Wow that does seem hard," Yakko said as he listened to her song...
To speak for myself
To sing way off key
Marry someone I've met,
who loves me for me
•
No escorts
No manners
No nursemaids
No worrys
•
No hands folded perfect,
like holding a lily
No pinchy shoes
•
I want to be like other girls
Climb up a tree like other girls can
Just to be free like other girls
Get to be...
"You see that's why I wanted to run away," she said when the song was over
"Yay I can see why you would," he replied
"You know what," she whispered
"What?" he asked
She smiled and said "You're the first true friend I've had ever."
"Really nah now your just being kind," he replied with a playful smile
"No it's true" she said giving him a another hug "now maybe we should get some rest we have a big day ahead of tomorrow."
"Right," he replied
As they both went over by their sleeping sibs each had a burning feeling inside to ran back to each other but instead of following it they ignored it. Not to far away Jake was hot on their trail and he was closing in fast...
