"You guys should cut it out," Becca rolled her eyes, bored."I'm not ratting you guys out at least not yet.""Meaning you still plan on ratting us out later on," I frowned, looking displeased."Don't give me that look Imelda.""We had a deal and that deal didn't include you running off," Becca glared at me, looking pissed while the girls just watched the exchange between us."Look, I'm sorry Becca," I sighed, apologizing. She had all right to be angry being that I left her at the mercy of the Queen, not like I had much of a choice anyways."The Queen's voice spelt nothing but trouble and future torture, so I fled once I heard her voice.""Well before running you should have thought about me and the fact that your running away was simply passing the trouble unto me," she rolled her eyes, her hands underneath her breast."You're right," I bit my lips, looking innocent."Fine I'm sorry," I apologized, pouting and she shook her head."You're unbelievable.""Look at what you girls have don
Ok, let's do a little flashback. Just as I had expected, I bumped into the Queen on my way to see the visitors and like Arla predicted, she nearly chopped off my ears and had them cooked for dinner.I'd be lucky if my ear remained the same after the way she dragged it, almost tearing it off.And then, there comes the prince charming I never knew I had, riding through the clouds coming to save me as I fell into his hands and got hypnotized by his blue eyes.My Prince charming turned out to be no one else but Derek, leaving me dazed. I thought he hated me and loved Mirabelle more?Well, I guess I'd find out later on. He swept me off my feet….."More like dragged you on your feet," Arla snorted, interrupting me and I rolled my eyes.Whatever, he swept me off my feet and took me to see the biggest surprise of my life. Running across the room towards me was no one else but……"Irina?" I grasped, as she jumped on me pushing me to the ground."What the hell, Irina," I growled."You were suppo
Maya and Irina got into a staring contest, Maya not hiding her dislike for Irina and I guess Irina felt the same way. Only Naya acted cultured but I could tell she also didn't like Irina that much.I guess it's all my fault, I painted a bad picture of Irina without allowing them get to meet her first and see for themselves how great she is."She's not all that great, Imelda," Arla rolled her eyes."After all, she acted rudely towards you that night and was a total brat," Arla added."Common not you too, she already apologized," I frowned."I know that, my point is that you shouldn't paint her as a totally great sister when she isn't.""Fine, I get your point.""What's your problem? Do you have an issue with me?" Irina sneered at her."I definitely have a problem with you, rira," Maya glared back at her, not backing down."It's Irina, Maya," Naya whispered."Why should I care," Maya hissed, unbothered and Irina gritted her teeth in anger. If there was one thing Irina hated, it was peop
Sitting still as Becca applied my makeup, I couldn't help but frown at my reflection. I looked like a clown with the makeup she applied on my face and I wanted nothing more than to reach for the wipe not too far away from me and wipe everything off my face."If you keep frowning, the make-up won't be as nice as it ought to be," Becca complained, turning my face sideways as she tried to blend the powder and foundation on the right side of my cheeks."Well, at least, I'd get a reason with wipe off this hideous thing from my face," I spat in disgust and Becca frowned, not pleased."It hurts my feelings that you're calling my creative handwork hideous when I'm trying so hard to make you look like the beautiful damsel that you ought to look like today."I sighed, breathing out, exasperated. Now that she said it, my words seemed to have a whole different meaning. "Your creativity itself isn't bad but on my face it is. My face isn't one for a make over which is why your awesome creativity a
"I thought I told you not to get all mushy on me?" I frowned as she pulled away."I told you I can't help it," she giggled."You're such a cry baby, I teased, your mate would have a lot of work taking care of you," I teased her and she grinned."You know, I feel really sorry for those that would never get the chance to be with their mates but with someone else dey just got mated to without having an ounce of love for them," she chimed and I felt a knife being driven through my chest. It felt so painful knowing that I fall under those category of people."I think they are the unluckiest….." she froze and slowly faced me, looking pale."Imelda," she muttered and I forced a smile on my face, waving it off."It's ok Becca, you're right, they are actually the unluckiest set of people doomed to spend their lives with someone they don't love and clearly doesn't love them either.""I'm sorry Becca, I didn't mean to hurt you with my words, I slipped off in my words and said things I shouldn't
Turning away from the mirror, I looked out of the window and saw everywhere packed with people."It's just some ball, why is everywhere packed with this much people?" I frowned, not recognizing anyone. Their faces all looked foreign to me."Don't be stupid, the Prince is getting mated to either you or Mirabelle tonight, it is only right that they all avail themselves to pay rites to him," Arla explained and I scoffed."When are you going to let me out? I've been holed in here for days now and I need to stretch my legs or do you want me to die of paralysis?" Arla quirked, being sacarstic."If you die then I get to live a quiet life without your incessant nagging," I smirked, walking away from the window."You'd die of boredom without me. I'm literally the sauce that makes your life way more interesting than it is," she sassed and I scoffed."What's that?" I frowned, approaching the door. Beside the door laid a letter, lying on the floor. Someone must have slipped it in.I picked it up,
Standing before me was no one else but the Derek dressed in exquisite royal apparel. He looked totally different this night and breathtaking. I never knew he could be this handsome, his blue eyes glittering in the dark.I gulped, taking in his appearance. I might not be in love with him but I couldn't dispute the fact that he had a body to die for. He was dressed in a tuxedo, few buttons of his shirt flying open and his hair chest in view.I felt tempted to take a step forward and touch him, feeling his skin against my fingers but I restricted myself, holding myself from doing something I'd regret later on. Right now he felt like a magnet, reaching out to me."Like what you see?" Derek smirked, enjoying himself and my cheeks heated up in embarrassment."Don't get cheeky, just got a bit distracted in thoughts," I looked away unable to meet his eyess. I suddenly felt hot as though there was a furnace in here."I'm not being cheeky, after all, it's not my cheeks that blazing hot presentl
I pulled away from Derek, blushing shamelessly."Derek," the voice yelled again, getting closer. "I guess your presence is needed," I smiled shyly, pushing my hair to the back of my ear as I avoided his eyes. Right now I just felt like burying whoever it was that just interrupted us."There you are," the intruder said, joining us by the lake. Derek and I turned to see who it was and man I wasn't disappointed."Mirabelle," I frowned and she looked at me, finally noticing me."What are you doing here?" She frowned, eyeing me in contempt."The same thing you probably came to do, having a decent conversation with the Prince. Things might have gotten a bit more interesting if you hadn't chosen thid particular period to show up," I accused, smiling but my smile was so fake that even Derek could not help but smile in amusement."What are you talking about?" Her eyebrows creased into a deeper frown."I think you know," I shrugged nonchalantly, loving the way she was getting pissed by the sec
