16.Daphne I couldn''t stop blushing and so I decided I should leave before I made and even bigger fool of myself. I sighed and darted out of the castle. I ran so fast everything blurred around me. I didn't stop until I got home. I sighed and brushed off some dirt on my dress. Slowly I opened the door to find mom asleep in front of the piano. I smiled and sat down next to her. Suddenly I slammed down on the keys and she jolted awake. I giggled. "Go to bed mom."I smiled she nodded and trudged off to bed. I sighed and started playing quietly.It was a large piano and the wood was so dark it was almost balck. Every note was tunned perfectly. It wasn't long before I heard a noise outside. I looked up snarling. I ran to close the door and went to bed. I hoped Kodi wouldn't be angry that I left.

The rest of the party was pretty boring. Sin was steadily getting drunk and talking cattily to the women who had been trying to talk to me. I managed to amuse myself by watching the girls who'd the other nobles had brought in to dance. Vampires strippers, I smirked, Never see that in them in the capitol. i drowned the last of my wine laced blood.

18.Daphne The next morning I pulled on a black tank top and a long white skirt. After I dressed I walked down the hall to the front room and sat down by the piano again. I closed my eyes and started playing a rather fast song. After a moment I slowed my eyes still closed. I jumped when mom spoke. "How was the party? Did you meet anyone?" "It was okay. I met Prince Kodi." I sdighed starting the song again. "Really?" "Yeah, I'm going to go for a walk." I sighed standing up. I kept my head down low as I walked aimlessly.

I hadn't drunk as much as my brother, but my head was throbbing in the morning. Figures. I groaned and rolled over, burying my face in my pillow. Then there was a knock at my door. "What?" I groaned, my voice muffled by the pillow. "Aw, did you have too much to drink last nigh?" "Sin, you drank more than i did. How can you even be standing?" "What you drank was hard liquor, Kodi." ".... Fuck you."

20.Daphne Eventually I stopped walking and leaned on a tree.I wondered how long I had been walking. I knew I had been out of the house for at least a few hours. I was still tired and every time I blinked I had to remind myself how to open my eyes again. I decided I should go back home and get more sleep. I kept my head down and watched my feet. It didn't take long before I ran into something. I groaned and rubbed my head looking up. "Sorry." I mumbled not really seeing who it was.I continued walking down the street till I got home. I opened the door and walked straight to my room. I closed my door behind me and fell asleep as soon as I hit the bed. I was woken up a little later-- I think about half an hour-- when my mom shook me awake. I groaned and rolled onto my back. "What?" I groaned. She shoved a letter under my nose. I leaned away and took it. Mom had a huge grin on her face. I blinked in shock when I realised it was an invitation from the queen. "Your going." mom smiled I sighed and sat up. Instantly mom started raking through my hair with a brush. "Mom!" she finished quickly but gave me a head ache. "Sorry."
(I don't know how to get them in the same place again)

"Get up. Mother called some company.," "She didn't." "She did." "Shit," I threw the covers off the bed and lept up, going for the bathroom, "Get out." "Fine. Hurry. And you'd better take a shower. you look like crap." I threw my crown at him as he darted for the door.

22.Daphne "Daphne you really should take a shower." I sighed and did what I was told. After I got out of the shower I found that mom chose my cloaths. Oh, well it was my favorite skirt. I pulled on the long sleeved black shirt and the long red skirt. Mom opened the door and raked the brush, yet again, through my hair. As soon as I entered the castle I was greeted by the queen. I blushed and bowed. She smiled. "Good to see you made it." she smiled. I blushed even more when I saw Kodi out of the cornor of my eye. For a moment I thought of running and even took and involuntary step back. "Daphne." Kodi smiled. I looked at him trying to hide the look of terror on my face. Why did mom have to send me to the party, why couldn't I just be at home playing my piano.

I watched Daphne for a moment, "Mother...." "Take her our into the garden. i have matters to attend to." I glared at Mother before offering Daphne my arm, "This way, if you'd please." She hesitantly took my arm. I smiled and led her out into the garden. "You're shaking." "No, i'm not." "An you're blushing." "No, i'm not," she protested.

24.Daphne "Yes you are." He smiled. "Well, can you blame me, I'm used to staying home all day reading and playing my piano." "You play the piano?" "Yes, though it's probably not very good." I blushed. "Your blushing again. I'm beginning to think that I'm the one making you blush." "I think you are." I smiled. We stopped by the fountain and I let go of his arm, "So... why am I here?"

I ran a hand through my hair. "That party was a conjoined birthday party." "And?" "And.... It was another way for my mother to find a bride for me. I'm the heir to the throne, despite Sin being older. He passed it on to me." "So I'm here...." "My Mother," I hissed, "Wants us to marry. I like you, Daphne, but I'm not ready for that." "What are you saying?" "Daphne, my mother wants me to marry you. I don't want to get married yet."

26.Daphne Everything shut down. I wanted desperately to run. "Daphne? Are you breathing?" I started breathing again. I never wanted to get married, NEVER, ever since my dad left my mother I had hoped I would never have to get married. And now the queen wanted me to marry Kodi. I wished I'd never gone to the party, I wished I could have stayed home and layed my piano or read. "... Married.... no..." I shook my head.

I grabbed her shoulders, 'Daphne, its all right. Everything will be fine." She shook her head. "Daphne, I don't want to get married either. I'll find some other girl. Daphne, you don't have to go along with this." "B-But my mother...." "If she doesn't agree, I'll talk to her." "A-And Queen Natanya..." "i'll deal with it. Breathe, Daphne."

28.Daphne My heart stopped beating for a moment and I stopped breathing. "Dapne breathe." Kodi said. I took a deep breath and shook my head. I had to get away, had to just forget everything. "I-I'm sorry I have to go." I said running at a blinding speed.

I watched her leave, "Well....that could've gone smoother." I heard Sin lagh. I wanted nothing more than to bas his head in at the moment.

30.Daphne My heart raced as I ran. For a moment I thought I heard someone following me so I ran faster. I finally stopped in an alleyway. I wished it was all a dream. I stayed there for a while before walking back to my house. But when I got to the door I smelled Kodi's scent. 'No... he wouldn't.' I thought as I opened the door. He did. He looked at me with an apolegitic expression. My mother looked eager as ever in the kitchen with him. I closed my eyes and walked to the front room where my piano was. I started playing the same une from this morning with my eyes still closed. "Daphne, dear--" mom started before I opned my eyes to glare at her. I slowed and stopped playing. Playing the piano always helped calm my nerves. Mom left the room leaving Kodi and I alone. I started playing a new song, it was much slower than the one before but at the same time much more complicated. "I don't get it. Why would your mom want me. I'm not special in any way." I murmured. Kodi sat next to me.
