And So It Ends

She shouldn't be here. There were so many thoughts and reasons stating this fact within her own mind. Some swimming through her head, fleeting and flickering - and others were bolded against her very mind, thoughts of those that she was swallowing down and leaeving behind, hopes and dreams that would never be accomplished. Melodrama was not something that the princess much enjoyed, but had taken ahold of her head and was now something that she rarely got to escape for long periods of time.


Perhaps that was part of the reason that she had come here.


There was so much fear and unknowns about marrying Maverick. There were so many reasons that she did not want to - but the biggest, was because she did not know him. She knew not the boy who would soon be a man, that she would be spending the rest of her life with. She... wasn't sure whether she wanted to. Yet to fight the pooling sadness that dribbled into her veins and left sparks of anger and distress in their wake - she would face reality instead. Her own mind could not be trusted when it came to this marriage.


Perhaps, Maverick would be pleasant. Perhaps he would not be so bad. Sure he and his family would never offer the same feeling that her own did - they would not be trusted the way that her own was, but they would eventually become her home. And so she wanted to see him, to get a taste of what she was in for. That was not against law or tradition was it? To wait to meet the boy she had been tied to?


There was a hint of unsure nature that she wanted very badly to hide behind her azure gaze. Yet regardless she held herself high, sporting that last little sliver of pride she had left. Tilting her head back, she called for him - hoping that he was near, that he would respond to her quickly, lest she loose her nerve and turn away.


She also hoped that Gideon, somehow, did not hear her howl at all.


She wasn't ready to face him quite yet.
