The Beginning
Here I stood in the sunlight. Looking out over the meadows. Knowing I was being shipped to the kings castle. That sits on the horizon.
In a days time I will be one of the kings son's servant or bride. The king has five son's Sebastin the eldest, then Zane, Damien, Asher and Cole. Ranging from ages 25 to 20 years old.
When all the girls in the lands turn 18. They get lined up for all the Kings to come and pick their son's servants or brides.
When you come in front of your master. He marks you with a necklace of there color. Showing everyone you are only his.
Now your master can do anything he wants to do to you. When you get marked you belong to that son/master.
Two days ago I turned eighteen. I got up that morning and had breakfast with my parents. Then they took me to the open meadow fields at 7pm to meet the king. We were stood in caterogies. Smallest to the tallest. I was in the middle. Wearing a white dress. When the King stopped beside me. He laid his hand on me. I could feel this wave of energy flush down me.
I looked up at the King. When his eyes turned red. His teeth came out. He started breathing hard. He grabbed both arms. Turning me around. He stared into my eyes. His eyes turned back to green. He smiled and said, "I want her. Then he went on walking picking another four girls. Two of them were my bestfriends and the other two were mean girls.
I was standing there when the lady snatched me out by the arm. She stamped my hand. She said, " In three days you must go to the castle to claim your master.
I said, "Yes ma'ma." I stood there. When the king stopped in front of me. He touched my hand, and I felt that energy surging through me. He smiled and leaned down. He said, "Welcome to the family. You'll be the perfect bride for my son. Then he walked off smiling."
I stood there staring at the Kings back. When he walked away. His words kept playing over and over in my head. I'll be a perfect bride. Then I thought of that energy surge flowing through my body. Felt so good.
Why did it feel like that. My body wanted to take control. I grabbed my necklace and held it tightly in my fingers.
I dont know how long I stood there staring as he disappeared. When the two mean girls came up behind me and pushed me to the ground. Getting my white dress dirty. I got up and turned around.
When the girl with long blond hair with big curls in it. I think her name was Melina. She batted her eyes and said, "Sebastin is going to be mine and I'll be his queen. I feel it in my bones. He'll love me and I'll make sure you and your friends will rot in the dungeon. Were you three belong.
I smiled and said, "How do you know that you'll be queen? Because all five us could be their servant and their play toy. Have you ever think why they need new ones ever year and where do the other ones go."
Melina eyes got wide and grabs Mary's hand.Then runs off.
Jasmine and Cass both came up and hugged me. They said, "I'm so happy we three can be together."
I hugged them back and said, "I agree. Then we all three walked towards our families. Knowing we have only two days left before we leave our family and friends for good. Not knowing what our future holds.
