Wedding Day
Dawn was in her room asleep, dreaming about the time she spent in Bewen. Davidson and Aland left to return to their yesterday. Dawn spent that whole day watching baby Alia while her mother and father were making wedding Invitations and deciding what declarations should be used. Before Dawn could wake up the next day Ella ran into Dawn's room screaming at her to wake up while shaking her.
"Ella...What is it?" She pulled the blanket from over my head. "What is it? Tell me what happened at Bewen." Ella jumps on the bed. "Ella, I'm sleeping." I rolled over in my bed. "Dawn... you promised." Ella pushed me a few times. "Ella stop."
"You promised." Ella started to fake cry. She was really good at this. No one else could tell If it's real or not but me. "It's not gonna work, Ella." Ella hits me one time and ran out of the room. I thought she gave but she brought something with her this time.
"Get up Dawn." He grappled my blanket and threw it on the floor. Before I could complain he picked me up out of my bed. He started to toss me in the air a few times.
"I'm up, I'm up, put me down." He stops moving, "Are you going to tell us what happened?" I hit him a few times, "Yes, now put me down." He placed me down on my bed. I fixed her hair a little and stick my tongue out at Maxwell.
"Alright first, what happened when you left the kingdom?" Ella sat on the bed sitting up not wanting to miss a word. "Well, we talked about how long it will take to get there. Aland and Davidson were arguing about something, we told a few stories about our childhood and arrived at Bewen." Maxwell crossed his arms, "So did he try and touch you or anything else?"
"No, he was a perfect gentleman." I stood up and got out of bed. "What happened next?" Ella asked all excited.
"Can I get dressed?" I began to pout.
Ella yelled, "No." After rolling my eyes I continued my story, "his father was kind to me. He said I remind him of his wife. It was late when we arrived but we couldn't sleep. So he showed me around his palace." I walked over to my closet a pulled out a dress. "How was it?" Maxwell started to make my bed. I held the dress up to myself and looked in the mirror, "beautiful".
"Than what?" Ella ran over to Dawn and grabbed her hand. "I saw paintings of when he was younger, I saw the garden and we went to sleep." Maxwell stop making the bed, "Same room?" I looked at him knowing he was going to ask that, "Different rooms, different halls." Maxwell smiled, "Alright." He continued to make the bed.
"The next day I woke up in the afternoon because of the long travel and staying up so late. I was told they were going to have a celebration that day." I placed the dress on a chair and began to tie my hair up. "What for?" Ella began to play in my jewelry. I stopped Ella by grabbing both of her hands, "they wanted to celebrate our engagement." Ella and I began to dance as I sang our favorite song. "How was it?" Maxwell stopped us from dancing.
"It was great. The people there are nice, the music was a bit different but enjoyable." She said with excitement in her voice. "I'm glad you had a great time." He hugged me. "Me too." Ella joined them. When we let go I walked over to my clothes to look for something, "is there anything else you want to tell us?" Maxwell picked up Ella and placed her on his back. I thought about the maid and almost running home. She didn't want them to worry, "no, everything was perfect."
"Than why didn't you stay?" Everyone looked towards the door and standing there was Bliss with a smile on her face."Bliss can we just skip this today, Dawn just came back." Bliss took a few steps in the room, "she came back home yesterday." Ella yelled while still hanging on Maxwell's back, "Just leave her alone." Maxwell wanted to say something but I interrupted him, "Maxwell, Ella. Can Bliss and I have a moment please?" Maxwell and Ella looked at each other then left the room. Bliss closed the door behind them.
"Welcome back baby sister." I know she was up to something, "let's just get to the point. You don't want me here, why?" Bliss walked in front of her, "I don't like you, that's why." Bliss walked past me hitting my shoulder, " is this about the engagement again? Because I told you---" Bliss cuts me off, "I know the story." She picks up Dawn's dress that was on the chair, "I'm still mad about it and I'm mad about something else too." She placed the dress over her and looks in the mirror like I did a few minutes ago.
"And you want to take your anger out on me, why?" I watched Bliss looking at herself in the mirror. "Because I can and we will continue to." She threw the dress on the floor. "We?" Bliss pinches Dawn's cheek, "just focus on your wedding. I hope nothing bad happens." Bliss made a face pretending to care. "What are you going to do?" I pushed Bliss away from me. "Nothing I promise." Bliss was walking out to the door when she opened it she looked at me one last time, "get dressed. You have a lot of things to do today." Bliss walked out of the room smiling.
Time passed and the wedding is happening tomorrow and Davison and his father is staying in Phothia for a few days. Davidson was talking with Dawn's father in the hallway. "Davidson, you will soon be part of my family. Please treat my daughter like the queen she will become." Davidson placed his hand on his heart and slightly bowed, "yes your majesty." He pats Davidson on his back, "I talked to your father. He told me what happened with the maids and Dawn." Davidson looked at the ground. "Thank you for what you did. Are you two close now?"
"As close as we are allowed to be." They stopped walking, "I want you to know that I'm glad you won the Jousting tournament. I was afraid that she might be married to someone that cares more about money and self-gain. You are not that person. I'm honored to call you son."
"What about my father?" Maxwell walked over to the king and Davidson overhearing their conversation. "Of course I'm proud of my children" he pats Maxwell on his back. "I'll take it." The king laughed. "Father can I speak with him for a moment." Maxwell looked a Davidson than back at his father. "Certainly" he bows to Davidson, "it was nice talking with you." Davidson bowed back to the king, "and you as well."
Once the king disappeared down the hall Maxwell spoke, "I'm not going to threaten you or anything, but I will say this. If my sister is upset and I find out I am going to Bewen." He looked into his eyes showing that he was serious about every word he said. "I will not make her upset." Davidson returned the look that Maxwell gave him. "I hope not." They hugged.
Wedding day
Everyone was rushing getting everything ready in the garden. I have on my wedding dress and now getting my hair and makeup done. Amity was brushing my hair when Ella entered the room. "Dawn, are you nervous?" I looked at myself in the mirror, "a little."
"Do you want to get married?" this was a weird question for Ella to ask, " of course." I saw that Ella was about to ask another question, "do you--"I interrupt her. "Ella, what's with all the questions?" Ella lowers her head, "well." she walks over to me, "I overheard mother and father talking. They are going to arrange a marriage for me too."
"They are? With who? When?" I looked at Ella through the mirror. "They are, but they haven't decided who yet?" Ella had a sad look in her eyes, "when is this going to take place?" Ella began to play in her hair, "on my tenth birthday. Mother said by then they would find someone." I looked at my hands, "let me guess, this gives them time to plan the wedding when you come of age." Ella nods her head yes. "They did the same thing to me when I was your age."
"So what happened between you and Bliss will happen between me and you?" Ella looked like she was about to cry. I turn my head and looked at Ella, "Never, and besides, the situation is quite different." Ella rubbed her eye, "how?"
"Well, Bliss is five years older than me. When I was ten Bliss was fifteen. I'm nine years older than you. By the time you get engaged, I would already be married." Ella looked relieved, "I never thought of that." I continued, "and when you marry, Alia would be eight or nine years old. Bliss is upset with me because of something I couldn't control. I thought she would understand but she doesn't."
"Ella, just because bliss and I don't get along doesn't mean we won't or you and Alia." Ella smiled a little, "I believe you." I looked back into the mirror while Amity continued to do her hair, "you should, I'm telling the truth."
"How old is Maxwell?" Ella tilts her head. "Twenty four." Ella's eyes were now big, "he's old," she yelled this out loud. " I heard that," Maxwell was standing at my door. "I'm old" he slowly walked towards Ella. "Yes," she sticks her tongue out at him. "Can an old person do this?" Maxwell chased Ella around the room than across the bed messing it up, knocking over candles that were once lit. "Maxwell, Ella, you're messing up my room." He caught Ella as she tried to get under the bed. He was tickling her, "Sorry Dawn."
"Say that to my bed" Amity was now doing Dawns makeup. "Stop stop let me go." He continued to tickle her, "say I'm not old" Ella bit his arm, he lets her go. "You are," When she saw an opening and ran towards me. "Dawn make him stop chasing me."
"You're the one that called him old." Maxwell grabbed Ella and tickled her again. "Dawn" while laughing, "help." I stopped Amity again and walked over to Maxwell and Ella who is now in the middle of the room. I pinched his ear and he lets Ella go. "Today is my wedding, behave"
"Alright, alright I'll behave"I let go of his ear. He rubs his ear," I'll go check on Davidson" he leaves the room. Ella was about to follow but I stopped her. "Ella, I have something for you." We walked over to her nightstand and opened the drawer. I take out a green pendant, "This is for you" I hand Ella the necklace.
"I was going to give this to you for your birthday but I'm not sure if I'm going to make it or not." I help Ella put the necklace on. "I know it's your favorite color. So I had it specially made for you" the necklace was of course too big for her the pendant touched her stomach. Ella puts the pendant in her hand and stares at it. "It's just like yours"
"Yes, it is. I want you to think of it as a Hope charm." She looks at me, "Hope charm?" Ella tilts her head. "Whenever you wear this you will always have hope. Never give up on what you think is right. Fight for it." Ella smiled then looked back at the necklace. "Miss Dawn" Amity spoke up. "We have to finish getting you ready. It is almost time"
"Right" I looked at Ella, "never take this off"I hugged her, "I won't."
Dawn was now ready for the wedding. She walked to the garden where the ceremony will be held. The colors were Blue and White. When Dawn and Davidson were walking down the aisle, she tried very hard not to let him hear her pounding heart. She looked around and saw everyone's faces. They were all smiling and bowing to them. She saw her father looking proud and her mother holding Alia in her arms. Maxwell with his wife Julie. Ella waving her hand to try and get Dawn's attention, but no Bliss.
Dawn was sad that she wasn't there but continued to smile. The wedding went smoothly. After sharing their first kiss Dawn couldn't stop smiling. She forgot all of her troubles and only thought about that moment. The party started and Dawn and Davidson were dancing in the middle of it all.
King Brentley was watching his daughter have the time of her life. "Is it that time?" His wife asked. His face looked slightly pained, "I wish it wasn't." She wrapped her arm around his, "they look happy together." He looks down at his wife, "they look like us." She looks at him and they shared a kiss. "Please come back" she looked into his eyes. "I will."
