"Demure's gone again huh?" I asked, sitting next to Elegance.
We were both sitting on the steps of the palace eating cookies that Delightful baked.
I have been in wedding rehearsals all damn day. It's approximately a day before the wedding starts and it's been hectic. I still haven't told Sinewy about Demure and I, but I'm going to today.
The reason why I haven't told her is because she's been busy. Most of the time she isn't home. I haven't seen Demure much as I used to since she's been hanging with that friend of hers. Astral is getting better, her wings are growing back. She still can't fly a very far distant, just around my room in circles.
I took a cookie out the plate and bit into it then sighed. I just felt like things were only going to get worse.
Demure and her friend pulled up into the driveway.
"There's Demureeee." Elegance said, nudging me.
"I see her." I replied dryly.
Demure giggled and waved goodbye to her friend then paced to us.
"Hey guys. What's up?" She said, taking a seat on the steps next to me.
"Nothing." I replied.
I got up and went inside the palace. I don't know why, but I was feeling sort of upset with her....almost like I was jealous. I'm jealous. Oh my gosh, I am jealous. I'm really jealous.
I went up to my room and when I opened my door, Astral was trying on my clothes. Really?
"What're you doing?!" I said, plopping down on my bed.
"I need new clothes and you have a closer full of them!" She giggled, flying around in a mini circle.
She had on my favorite blue blazer, a red shirt and some jean shorts with my loafers.
"The shoes are a little big but they work." She looked at me and smiled.
I smiled weakly. I'm not so happy right now.
She smiled then turned into a concerned look.
"Baroness, are you alright?" She came down and laid next to me on the bed.
"Yes, I'm fine. Why?"
"I know you're not okay. Tell me what's wrong?"
"Everything."
"Can you be more specific?"
I looked over at her.
"I'm losing Demure. This wedding is tomorrow. I'm scared Sinewy might find you up here. I want to tell Sinewy about Demure and I but I don't even think it matters now because Demure probably likes her friend. I just feel like honest shit. Why did I wait so long? Too long. Too late. I've failed everyone."
She moved braids out of my faced then smiled.
"It's not too late, and you haven't failed anyone. This shit just the beginning of what you've wanted to do. You wanna save this planet, right? You can still do that. I'm pretty sure Demure still likes you...a lot. I'll talk to her if you want to me. I know we've had our differences in the past but I rather see you guys together but it makes you happy. All I wanna do is see you happy B, even if that means being with me."
I can't believe I'm hearing this. I sure at up and grinned.
"I'm glad I have a friend like you. You always know what to say."
"I'll always be here for you and I'll always love you. No matter what happens." She sat up and gave me a tight hug.
I hugged her back.
She was right. This is only the beginning. I wonder if Sinewy's home?
I got up and rushed out my room. I heard Sinewy's voice all the way from the first floor. She had a really loud and strong voice.
I took the elevator upstairs to her office then strolled it. I was so nervous at first then it slowly went away when I thought about what Astral said to me.
I knocked on the door and wait.
"Come in." She said, hanging up the phone.
I paced in then sat down in the chair in front of her desk.
"Well hello there Baroness, how are you today?" Sinewy grinned.
"I'm great, but I really need to talk to you?"
"What's up?"
I took a deep breath.
"I can't marry Surmise.
"Why? Coldfeet? I felt the same way when I was about to marry your mother. I know marriage is scary but it's not bad. Wanna go to Pepper Porally?"
I shook my head.
"No Sinewy, I can't marry Surmise because I'm not in love with her. She's not my type. She's just a good friend. I can't marry her because I'm in love with Demure and I don't care if she's a stud. The rule you have about no stud on stud relationships is stud. Why should the clothing we were matter? It isn't our fault that a stud hurt you in the past. You're selfish, you're mean, and honestly nobody likes you... not even me. You're not even my real mother!" I scowled, standing up.
I felt so good getting all of that out. Wooh!
She laughed then paced from behind her desk and stood in front of me.
I wasn't scare of her. She was a coward. I will defeat her.
"All that you said....it's very true. Very very true. But this planet is MINE. You'll do whatever I say. How dare you try me little girl? You're so beneath me. I should've left you with that drunky ass mother of yours. Prym will pay for this, and Delightful will too! I know they told you. I know they're fucking around too. Listen little bitch, you've got the right one now!! I'll kill you!" She wrapped her large hand around my throat and began choking me.
I just knew I was about to die when she lifted me up off the floor but then she slammed me down.
I was gasping for air the way my body hit the floor knocked the wind out of me.
"Gaurds!! Find Demure and send her on the first space shuttle back to Earth!!" Sinewy demanded, kicking my side.
It felt like one of my ribs crack and my whole entire side filled up with immense pain.
"Nooooo Demure!!" I yelled, holding my side.
"And take her underground to my dungeon!!" She yelled, kicking me again.
I yelped out in pain as the guards picked my up and carried me out of the office.
I don't know if I'm going to die, but I didn't think it would be like this. She's sending Demure back to Earth. My ribs is crack. I'm in so much pain right now. What am I going to do?
