party

The party started at noon and would not stop until late at night. I was walking around the dance floor offering people drinks and food, surprisingly not spilling anything even though almost everyone was bumping into me for in their minds I was nothing. The party had been going on for some hours now and Mars had danced and chatted with almost every high end looking girl in the room, but finally the music quieted and the master cleared his throat and then in his booming voice said,

"It is time I told you why I have gathered you here today, well there is two reasons for that one is my son will finally be picking himself a wife, but first to announce that my wife will be having yet another child."

Gasps of excitement and shock went around the room, Mars was looking at his mother and though she might've thought only he saw it her curt nod and a single tear leaft her eye, but I saw it too. The madam looked so frail already, would she survive this with the technology we have? then the master once again cleared his throat pulling all attention to him once more, he said,

"Now my son walk to your bride and kiss her cheek choosing her as your love."

Everyone went silent the girls went still and so did Mars. He slowly turned to me, nodded and slowly walked to me, I realized that he was giving me time to run, but I wouldn't run, not for love, not out of fear, no because of friendship and the chance to do something. he reached me in just a few long strides once he realized I was not going to run.

"I'm sorry, but thank you,"

was all Mars said and then he took both my hands and kissed my cheek.

The master was outraged, people were shocked and I think a few of the girls came at me with their claw like nails, but Mars ever caring stepped in their path and picked me up like I was truly a princess to be protected, he carried me towards the throne and my fear finally picked up, this is either where I die or where something different will start. Before we made it to the thrown I saw Mars look at a man that had a sorrowful face, I guess that is his true love, they only nodded to each other and then Mars looked forward once more, and with the aura of a prince who knew what he wanted he stared down his father.
