The night is better to be silent than to be loud

The sun just set as we walked through the door. The air smelled of ash and burning metal. My father is a blacksmith, a poor blacksmith. Most blacksmiths are poor unless they live in the city. Soldiers are considered middle class. Mages are considered of high class. So the boy I met by the river is a high class. I walked to the table and sat down. My mother had excitement in her eyes. This meant something that I was not going to like. Many thoughts came to mind, and invite to a party, marriage, someone is pregnant.

"Robin, Mr. Carlton wants your hand in marriage" my mother squealed.

They all began to squeal in excitement. My jaw dropped, NO this means i have to get married soon. not this is not possible. I won't allow this I am way too young to get married. Just kill me now I don't want to be a part of this. Get me out of this.

"Sparrow is something wrong?'

"Yeah!! She is getting married I am not ready for her to leave us"

"I am turning 21 soon, so I think it is appropriate"

I am not having this. I got up from my seat really fast. The chair fell behind me. I picked up the chair and stormed off to my room. I locked myself in there with a chair. I sat on my bed and grabbed my pillow and screamed into it. Me being the second eldest means I am the next one to be married. I wont allow myself to be married.

"That is it, I am going to make a plan to make sure I never will get married"

I made a plan to run away before I have to get married, and never fall in love with anyone. Robin began to knock on my door:

"May I come in we need to talk"

"No, leave me alone"

"Please Sparrow"

"No"

Two hours had passed before i remove the chair that was locking the door. I swear she was waiting at the door. Before I need it she was standing in my room.

"What are you doing in here, get out"

"No I need to talk to you I won't leave until you talk to me"

"Why can't you leave me alone"

"I don't like to see you in pain"

"You're getting married already, so you can go"

"I am sorry, so please don't be mad, you'll understand someday"

"No, I will never understand, because I don't have a desire to be married or fall in love"

She left the room very slowly before I was all alone in my room. I began to get ready for bed. *Clunck* something had hit my window. I slowly walk over to my window. I look out to see.....
