Chapter 2 - Here's To Being Married

Kora I...."I looked away as my dad tried..Keyword Tried,to talk to me.. ignoring him felt pitiful but I couldn't help but feel conflicted.My mom still didn't look at me as she kept crying a river into her handkerchief,her makeup now smeared,black and ugly...I Guess this is Goodbye..

A part of me couldn't help but want to cry.,it felt as if they had chosen their kingdom over me and yet if given a second chance they would do it again..I love my home, and I hated the fact that I had to leave it.,all for an unknown place with unknown people.

"This way princess.."Hugo said as he walked towards the billion dollar cars on my home driveway.,opening the door for me to the backseat of the second car while he sat on the front seat.

"Buckle up princess.,it's going to be a long ride"Hugo said as the driver began to lead us away from...HOME.

"Fuck...."I silently cursed as I quietly laid my head on the car's window..

Guess Here's to being Married.

My arrival at the castle was...GRAND.

Hugo left me as soon as we arrived.,leaving me alone with no one I at least had a clue to who they were.

"My lady..it's a pleasure to meet you.,My name is Emily,and I am to be your personal maid as of your stay in the Southern Kingdom."a young lady dressed in a long gray dress said to me a few hundred seconds after I got dropped off..then she proceeded to assist me towards further entries of the Empirial house.,which..,I assumed was where I was to be staying.

The glances I got from the people I assumed to be palace workers,made me bow my head in embarrassment as I felt the blood rush to my cheeks.,only ever raising my head when Emily would turn a corner toward another endless hallway making myself look like an abondoned puppy.

"Welcome princess."A man who stood by large doors which Emily and I had finally stopped Infront of greeted as he opened the doors to show a really large romantically decorated room.With lit candles and red petal flowers.

Questions flooded my brain as to who's room this was..,was it my husband's?.,I questioned as I felt the blush rush back to my face.

Maids then strutted into my room with what I assumed to be my luggage and headed to arrange it in the walk in closet .,

*Sigh*

"Crown Princess.,the bath is ready..,so if you could.."

"O..o..o..kay"I stumbles on my words as I  realized the room's eyes were on me,forcing me to quickly stand and proceed to take off my clothes.

A maid covered me with a bathrobe as they proceeded to spend the next hour or so getting me ready..the outgoing blush never seemed to leave my cheeks as I kept blushing even when someone simply talked to me.,which was mostly them addressing me as Crown princess or My lady. reminding me of the novels where I was now probably supposed to say that they can call me by actual name.,but I was way to shy to talk to people I didn't know,and anyway,those lines were only to be said in novels not real life..

Hours later the maids proceeded to strut out of the room leaving me all alone to my own devices.,it was nighttime by now and my heart kept pumping nervously to the romantic site of candles and flowers in the room.,my nightdress felt wet as I could feel myself shiver from the thought of what was to occur tonight

'Will he take me tonight?

But I rarely even know him..'

"Kora..get off the table.,why are you troubling Lindsey my dear.."my mom said to the six year old me with a mock angry look on her face making me blush at having been caught being troublesome

"Lindsey dear,get me a mirror..."My mother said and Lindsey proceeded out of the room only to come back a few minutes later with a long rectangular mirror that showed bother me and my mom who was in a crossed sitting position and me on her lap..

Tears stroked to my face as I saw my mom's facial features fading from the mirror.,living the six year old me in tears at the terrifying site Infront of me..

I can't breathe..

Mom I can't breathe

Mom...

Mom..

My eyes flood open tearing from the lack of breath.,taking me a second to realize someone was..

"Haaah..ha..ha..ha..ha..I"I tried to voice out as my arm headed to the scary eyed man on top of me.,..His eyes were Soo..

"I..I can't breathe.."I finally managed to voice as my arm gripped his.,that was tightly wrapped around my neck..

.

"I.."I started to voice out again as my head began to fill drowsy..

"Fucker.."the scary eyed figure said as I closed my eyes to embrace the darkness.

Well.. Here's to being Married.
