The Princess and Her Guardians
Chapter 7: Festival
We stayed in town for about a week, the guys didnt want to move while I was still in pain though I wont lie I really wanted to leave. I wanted to see the man they say is my real father..I'm still skeptical of everything but until they trust me to be able to leave on my own I cant do anything anyway. I was finally able to get changed on my own without being in complete pain no longer having to ask for help or having to be offered help..
The guys said they were going into town to get some supplies and I couldnt help but beg them to let me join them. "Please! I havnt seen the light of day in a whole week, thats torture!" They all just looked at each other zack just shrugged and said "sure but I doubt it will be any fun" I smiled "dont worry I just want to leave this damn room!"
I'm so happy to breathe in the clean air and hear the people talking, though it was odd getting so many looks, I dont know if it was just because I have my arms wrapped up and even a small wrap on my forehead from the gash or was it from the fact that I was with a group of handsome men..we definitely stick out in this type of crowd..
I tried to keep my head down but zack smiled at me and patted my back gently "Dont be shy your a very beautiful girl, keep your head up high plus you got quiet a bunch of hot gentlemen escorting you." He flexed his muscles and reno chuckled "gentlemen my ass". Zack hit him in the back of the head and I couldnt help but laugh a little and cloud smiled "you should do that more often" I looked confused at him. "what do you mean?.." Reno said "since we snatched you, you havnt smiled or laughed or seemed happy at all."
"Oh..sorry I didnt know I looked so down.." Zack smiled "its ok we did just randomly take you and you were hurting so I wouldnt blame you, just promise you will do that more often." I smiled and nodded "ok..hey look at that" I went up to a flyer, it stated that there was a festival occuring today starting at sunset, I must have looked excited because the guys looked at me and smiled, zack said "How about we stay for another day, see the festival" I smiled "Really?...I mean are you sure?.." They nodded and so we gathered some supplies and returned to our hotel to wait for the festival to begin.
The sun began to set, after my shower I went into my room and saw a present on my bed. It read "hope we got the right sizes and hope you wear this tonight" I guess it was from the guys though i'm a little afraid of what it is.. When I opened the box I found a beautiful strapless red dress with black heels, I tried them on and they fit perfectly..that part kinda worried me.. I came out in the dress and heels the guys started blushing and stared at me I blushed and looked away. "u...um..wh..what is it?..is something wrong?.." they all shook their heads at the same time. Cloud finally spoke "w..well we should be getting the the festival.."
We spent the day playing games and other activities and learning about the history of the town, I beat the guys at a lot of the games we played it was so much fun, the guys would pout if they lost but in the end we all laughed, when it was getting dark they blindfolded me. "H..hey watcha doing!" they chuckled "just wait.."
When they allowed me to take the blindfold off we were on a hill not too far from town though I could see all the light in the town. "wow..its beautiful.." zack smiled "nuh uh just wait and see.." I looked at him confused but before I could question him I saw fireworks shoot into the sky.. the sky glowed so brightly..Ive never seen it shine like it did that night..
While we were watching the fireworks cloud took out these charms for his jacket pocket handed one to each of us. "I found these at a shop at the festival, it is stated you and the others you give them to will forever be intertwined with each other.." I smiled and looked at the charm. "huh this charm..it looks so familiar...like ive seen it before...I dont feel so hot.." they all stared at me "hey..you ok?...Hey! Air!" All I heard was them yelling my name before everything went black..
