The night before

The day progresses slowly as she walks around the palace, inspecting everything. Watching the workers do their job. It'd midday and she has spent all her time wandering around the palace. First she went to the fruit trees and stole a couple of apples and oranges. Then she went to the flowers, she took her time to inspect all the flowers.

A lot of them she had never seen in her life, which is why it was such an experience to her. After all she did like being outside, feeling the sun on her skin. And being surrounded by all the things nature had to offer, the flowers, the 'animals, the fruits and the grass. She loved all of it.

As she is walking she stumbles upon a rock that sends her falling to the ground. Now exhausted of walking around she finds some shade under a tree and stands under it. As she come closer she notices that Sebastien is sitting under the same tree. As she nears the tree he too is alerted of her presence. He looks up at her and she notices how much anger there is in his eyes. After a little while he calmly stands up and leaves her standing there.

Savannah finally sits down exhaling deeply. What a rude man, she thinks to herself. In all her time here he hasn't said anything to her that has showed any progress. He is acting as if she so gladly wants to be in situation. She didn't wat to be here, if it were up to her she would be at home. Spending her days in her room, finding anything that could entertain her while she waited on finding her prince.

.......

'I need to personal tell you that the preparations for the wedding must begin today. Which means that you need to have dress fittings and pick the theme that you like' the queen tells her as they walk down the halls of the palace. 'From now on you have to take care of yourself because after you get married you have to produce a healthy heir to the throne'.

'Which means that you have to ready yourself for everything. I have a few things that you can do, tips if I might say. But don't worry I will hire a midwife to take care of you while you are pregnant. You don't have to worry about a thing, here you are can live comfortably as you wish' she says

'Thank you so much' she says.

'The only thing is my son Sebastien, I know that he can be quite hard to deal with but I assure you that he will come around. It is just that he has had a couple of things to deal with and it has been hard on him'.

The girl doesn't have anything to say in regards of that, the only thing that she does is stand and nod her head. Not that she is being rude it's just that there isn't any way she can begin to feel pity for him or understand where he is coming from.

The fact that he has things is he going through it doesn't give him an excuse to act the way he is acting towards everyone.

They continue the walk down the hall and the queen has got tears in her eyes as she tells her this 'I want you to hear me out, please take care of him. I know this sounds strange but I need you to be there for him. Whatever happens to him? Don't let him fall of the edge'. She is now holding her hands and fully sobbing.

Although she doesn't understand what is going on she promises her 'I will do my best to take care of him' she says. 'Thank you so much, from the day you walked in I knew that you were what he needs' she says embracing the girl in a tight hug.

'Goodnight' she says she looks around and notices that they have arrived by her chamber. 'Goodnight' she replies making her way into her chamber. She enters and settles on her bed trying to make sense of what has just happened.

For some reason that was a very weird encounter, the way she cried made her think that something is going to happen to them. She sounded very sad like she is sure something is going to happen to them.

She ponders over this as she tries to sleep, ignoring all the thoughts that are roaming around in her head. This al seems unnatural. For the first time she wonders if this might have been planned for before by her father and mother. That maybe there wasn't anything that she had come here for that was specific to helping her country but merely something her parents planned.

The possibility of that her parents might have set her up not only makes her angry but also powerless. Everything is done and she cannot say anything. Like the queen said the wedding arrangements begin today and all. She couldn't eve run back to her home, she has feeling that they wouldn't be happy to see her back there much less to learn that she has run away.

Just as she is thinking all of this, she hears a loud voice screaming 'No, No, don't do it. Let me be' the voice cries. She is disturbed at the fact that the voice sounds like Sebastian's. She shoots up from the bed unable to sit and listen to his cries. Quickly slipping of her bed she rushes for the door. Running to the outside she tries to quiet her beating heart and calm her breathing.

This reminds her of all the times that she spent in her room as a child listening to her sister's cries. That was the day they stopped talking to each other. Their parents wouldn't let her in her sister's room. That year she had to listen too her sister's moans and she couldn't do anything about it at all.
