My horrible future

Pov.Asteria

The first thought that crossed my head was "what did I do?" Suddenly I felt my mother's and father's fuming gaze burning my left side, as I looked to the front. I didn't have the courage to turn and look at them. I didn't want to figure why they were so angry.

I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my right tight that made me let out a soft gasp in surprise and pain. I cracked my head to the right wanting to figure out where the sudden pain was coming from. I made eye contact with my father's gold eyes. He tightened his grip on me that made me sit even straighter. He directed his eyes to my right hand signaling me to put it on top of his.

I rapidly followed his silent instructions. I could see his right hand clasped with my mothers. I felt the sudden ringing inside my head as our mind link connected.

'YOU FOOLISH GIRL' was the first thing I heard that made me cringe. 'DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA OF WHAT YOU'VE DONE?' Finished my father giving me a hedache.

'I'm sorry father, but I have no idea of what you're talking about,' he tightened his grip on my thigh.

'What he means to say is that you foolish and stupid girl passed by the Fenix table and didn't spare them a glance.' she explained with a baby voice.

'I'm so...' my father didn't let me finish as he this time started burning me and for the goddess did it hurt.

'We don't want your apologies, you will in this instant rise, apologize, and invite Prince William to dance,' he said in a warning tone. 'Do I make myself clear?' he pressured me, not leaving space for judgment after I didn't answer.

'Clear, sir.'

'Good, now may you explain to me why you brought that girl with you?' she asked.

'I brought her so the other servants would see,' she looked my way and lifted her eyebrows.

'Everyone saw how you treated her mother, I didn't want anyone to badmouth you,' I gave her an assurance smile even if I was totally lying. With that, my father slightly loosened his grip on me.

'Even if they are terrified of you, those rumors may reach other kingdoms, plus we need to keep our appearances.' I explained in the hope they would believe me. 'You've always say appearances first.' I finished.

With that statement, they both smiled my way. A proud smile. I only gave them a bow back as an answer.

'You're not totally useless after all,' my mother finished and with that letting go of my father's hand.

'I'm proud of you, that makes up for your mistake today, and you won't be punished after this,' he paused for a second. 'Now go do what I told you to do, make sure that girl follows you, and DON'T mess up.' He stated finally letting me go. Following his instructions, I stood up with Emely following.

As I was walking towards the Fenix table I realized I used Emily. I used her without flinching. As I turned my head to look at her she gave me a huge smile that made me heartbroken. I gave her a fake smile back, and I knew she wouldn't see through me because that was my mother's smile. I used her, without her even realizing, she is just so innocent. I don't think she even realizes that she has everyone's attention as she walks behind me.

I cleared my head from all thoughts related to Emily for the moment. I looked ahead, to see what it looked like my horrible future. There he sat that stupid asshole with a growing smirk. I took big but slow strides their way, but time looked to be slow down.

When I finally reached their table I scanned over it. Their table was filled with beautiful phoenix flowers. Such a shame, such beautiful flowers named in their honor. I averted my sight from the flowers to look at them. I slightly bowed and rose.

"I apologize for my entry, I was slightly distracted," I explained with a fake smile, but I wasn't totally lying.

"I actually came here to invite Prince William to dance with me," I said, my hand once again scratching my left wrist, but I made myself stop. 'That's a sign of weakness' I screamed at myself.

I gave the Queen and King a flashing smile that I knew they wouldn't be able to deny. Prince William rose and gave me his hand in a signal for me to take it. I instantly took it not wanting for this to take longer than it needed to.

We stood in the middle of the ballroom. Waiting for the music master to play a song. Suddenly The Second Waltz by Dmitri Shostakovich starts playing. I perfectly knew this dance, I knew the dance of all the balls songs. It was required to learn them. If I didn't know a dance I would be punished.

I looked around expecting people to be surrounding us as we danced, but everyone was sitting. I should really stop distracting.

"You know when they said, you were the most beuatiful girl in the universe I didn't believe it, but now that I see you I know it's completely true." I didn't flinch at his words. I knew he just wanted me in his bed.

"I know," I simply replied. I knew I was beautiful, but my beauty was a curse.

"We don't need to fake to love each other." I whispered through gritted teeth as he spinned me and pulled me back to his chest. The temp of the music rose slightly as did our movements.

"Let me go," I warned I didn't like it when he touched me. I felt disgusted by his smell,touch, and looks.

"You don't want me to be fake, then you won't get fake me," He said with a smirk and an evil glare grew in his face.

"I don't care what you want, you'll be mine," he growled half whispered. "I will have you in my bed by any means, I don't care if I have to force you."

His tight in my waist tightened and he dared kiss me. His tongue forced its way through my lips and I felt like I wanted to throw up. He bit my lip but I refused to give in. I pushed him away and swiped my hand across my mouth in attempt to delete any traces of his lips on mine. His taste still lingered and I felt dirty.

I looked him straight in the eyes and the asshole dared to smirk at me. With a glare not even caring who was around me anymore. I walked back to him and slapped him across the face and kneed him between his legs. Looking down at him with a exasperated sigh I said.

"Doun't you ever, ever, in your miserable life dare to touch me again without my permission." Breathing harshly I turned around and marched towards the doors that led to the big garden not sparing a glance back to my parent's furios and disappointed eyes. Emily strode behind me. Not bothering to ask the guards to open the doors with a wave of my hand the five hundred pound doors opened.

I felt strong, powerful, and angry. The boom of the doors opening so harshly made the ground shake. My hair was glowing just like my body. My whole body lighted the lonely darkness of the night in the garden just like when I was born. Ironic that in this moment I felt like I was reborn.

Even if this moment felt great , it wouldn't last for so long. He will do something bigger than stealing my first kiss. I just know he won't stop until he gets me, but I can assure I will give hell of a fight.

I just hope I'm strong enough.
