Four days until the wedding and things have been going pretty smoothly. Prym was still looking for Astral, but she was no where to be found. My relationship with Demure was getting better. I started spending more time with her at night.
Today I was spending the day with Surmise, Demure, and Elegance. I had to fill my little sister in about what's been going on. I'm still not telling Demure the plan that Surmise and I came up with for the wedding day.
I want her to be surprised just as everyone else.
"Why is the wedding paint splatter themed??" Elegance asked, gaping at the decorations that Surmise had picked out.
"Why do you ask so many questions?" I replied, shaking my head.
"I think it's creative..." Demure said, looking around.
She still wasn't okay with this wedding thing. She gets this look on her face everytime we talked about it.
"This is gonna be ugly!!" Elegance scowled, picking up one of the flowers off the table.
"Hey! Put that back!" Surmise yelled, taking the flower out of her hand.
"We still haven't chosen a cake yet. I suggest a huge vanilla cloud cake from Pepper Porally." I smiled brightly, showing my grill fronts.
"Cloud cake?" Demure said, looking confused.
"Oooh cloud cake!!" Elegance clapped her hands looking confused.
"Ah, let's go. I'll call the owner to Pepper Porally." I said, grabbing my keys.

"My burger got lime green cheese on it." Demure said, turning up her nose.
"I know, isn't it great!" I chuckled, gazing at her.
"It's supposed to green?"
"Yes, it comes from a lime cow."
"A lime cow?! What the hell??"
"It's a long story." Surmise said, nodding her head.
Demure shrugged and bit into her cheeseburger.
"How is it??" I asked.
She chewed and nodded her head fast. Once she swallowed what she had in her mouth, she looked at us.
"THAT WAS GREAT!!" She said, clapping her hands.
"Don't judge a burger by its cheese!" Elegance said with a win.
"Wow. Really??" Surmise laughed.
The owner of Pepper Porally paced to our table. He was a quirky kind of guy. His hair was dyed yellow and pink. A burnt orange blazer graced his shoulders like James Brown. His pants had black and white strips, the color of his shirt was red and he had on some yellow Doc Martens. He kind of reminded me a Jim Carrey when he played in The Mask.
"Heyyyy Baroness baby! How are you?" He said, rubbing my back.
"I'm great Pepper! How are you?" I said, smiling up at her.
"Wonderful babes! My assistant said you needed to speak with me. What's up?" He sits next to me and smiles.
"I wanted to have cloud cake for our wedding cake." I said.
His smile widen.
"Great! Anything you want! Any design in particular?"
"Not really, we just want it to be big! Right Surmise??"
She nodded and smiled as she ate a taco filled with pepperoni and cheese with green chilli....from a lime cow.
"You got it baby! When's the wedding?!" Pepper said, writing everything I said down.
"May 24th!"
"Four days from now. I'm invited right?" he asked, crossing his legs.
"You know it! You own the best restaurant on this planet!"
"Thanks baby! Well I'm gonna run off and create some designers for this cake! See y'all soon." He got up from the table and waved before strolling off to the back of the restaurant.

I heard strange knocking at my window. I groaned at the sound of it because it had awakened me.
Feeling tired and annoyed, I paced to my window then pulled back the light pink curtain. To my surprise, it was Astral but she looked like she'd been crying.
Opening the window, I pulled her in then locked it back.
"Astral?! Where have you been?? We've been having people looking all over the place for you! I was worried! Hell, we all were!"
I then noticed that her wings were gone and dark purple blood was all over her back and hands.
"Oh my gosh, what happened?"
"Sinewy took my wings, but luckily I still had enough energy to float myself to you. She found me in the woods. She was there with two other women. I was held down as she cut my wings off then tied up and left. She was coming back for me but I managed to escape. I'm starting to feel weak." She lays on my bed and I noticed the glow leaving her eyes.
"What do you need?"
"Food and lots of it. My wings will grow back but it takes awhile. I have to keep eating and drinking."
I nodded then strolled downstairs and got as much food as I could.
Sinewy had just came on the door and she gaped at me.
"What's all that for?" She asked, closing the door to the palace.
I froze. I had to think of what to say because I didn't want her to know I had Astral upstairs.
"It's that time of the month. I'm having mad cravings." I said, shaking my head.
Sinewy smiled then chuckled.
"Poor baby. Run along now. If you need some pain medication, let me know.
I nodded and grinned.
Running upstairs, I realized I could've taken the elevator but I was in such a rush to get away from Sinewy.
I went into my room and closed the door, using all three locks.
I gave Astral all the food that I'd gotten for her.
"Will that be enough?" I asked, watching her eat.
"It'll be enough for tonight. Thank you." She said, smiling at me.
The glow slowly came to her eyes as she gained some of her strength back.
I texted Delightful and Prym to let them know that I have Astral with me and I also told them about her wings getting good cut my Sinewy.
Prym texted back and told me that I had to be careful. If Sinewy finds out she lost Astral, she'll be on the look out even more. Security will definitely be tight in all places.
I sighed. This was so much. Too much. Will I be able to handle all of this? The wedding is now in three days, I have to keep Astral safe, and I had to somehow get rid of Sinewy. This was a difficult situation. Beyond difficult. This is just great.
