The Ball

Before I make my way to the ball, I walk towards my mother's room. My guards follow me despite trying to make sure I do not get where I want to be but I have their room memorised.

Knock Knock

"Come in," I hear my father say softly.

I make my way in and notice my mother sitting upright.

"Are you feeling better?" I ask her politely and she nods. "I have to be," she says kindly, "cannot miss this ball." I smile and nod as she gets up to get dressed.

"I will see you later then," I say kindly and make my way out as my father helps her to get dressed.

As soon as I exit, I notice my siblings are just about to knock.

"You caused this," Magnolia says with tears in her eyes. "I..,"I try to say but come short. "That is not true Magnolia," Aster says kindly, "you know this has happened to all of us before." She sighs and nods, pushing past me.
