Fate by Katie Spellman (to read list txt) 📖

I stood there among 9 other princesses who are eager to marry the prince, I on the other hand hope he does NOT pick me. To make sure that he doesn’t I wore a wig and put on horrid make-up, also what has to be one of the ugliest gown I’ve ever worn. It is puke color, in between yellow and orange, with a flower pattern, long sleeved. My wig short and black, as for my make-up, lets just say that there is none of my pale skin showing. I look around and wonder where the prince is. Just as I thought of that the guards announce him in, and his servant, who is a year younger than me and has the same pale face and light blonde hair. She followed him to the first princess, 8 girls away from me, as he talked and asked her questions, she found her way to me. She looked me up and down in utter disgust. I did a great job.
“Kai, sister, what ugly monster took over you.” She looked appalled, and then dragged me out of the room and to the nearest bathroom. Once we were inside she began taking off her exquisite gown, which made me think, oh no she us going to make me pretty again.
‘Of course she would do this on purpose, I love my sister dearly, but why now?’ My sister’s thought stung me. Does she truly want me to have a chance of marriage to that-that thing! I sigh taking off my dress handing it to her. Before I came I decided to wear a corset thankfully, so I put on her gown. It was violet my favorite color, long with a long train, made of silk, and was sleeveless. This is the type of gown I love, so I love this gown very much. Before she started to rub off my make-up she handed my knife from my gown with a groan that I was oh-so familiar with. I placed my knife in my special knife holder under my gown, located on my thigh. I let her rub off the horrid make-up, and once she was done I was back to my fair, glowing pale, skin.
“Take out those contacts,” she demanded. So I did, I took out my deep brown contacts and watched as my normal grey eyes pop because of the violet gown. My sister pulled off my wig, letting lose my light blond hair cascading to my waist in delicate curls. Sometimes I’ll straighten my hair, only went I go outside to fight, barely anymore. She looked at me once again truly astonished, I hated it. I don’t like people envying me.
“Okay can you bring me back,” I ask in an innocent tone, but she reads right through it dragging, truly dragging, me back to the room. We stopped outside the door, and I decided to be a rebel and not go in no matter how hard she pushes me.
“Sister,” Dakota cried yanking on my arm. I laugh then stopped as the door creped open a little.
“Guards! Have you seen Dakota,” the prince yelled then started coming out into the hall, but never did. I felt like I wanted to run away. I hate him, okay I’ll be nice I very much dislike him.
“I’m fine, I just had to use the bathroom,” my sister lied which out my attention. My eyes widen, my sister lie? She never lies, I mean never. My sister turned to me with begging eyes. I groaned and that was a mistake because the door opened completely, and the prince came into the hall. Don’t look into his eyes, just don’t look in his eyes, don’t look in his eyes, I chanted in my head. I adverted my eyes to everywhere but him.
“Dakota, who is your friend,” he asked looking at me amazed. Why is he amazed? I wanted to smile but I was to busy ignoring my chant looking in his alluring eyes, a blue green. Damn I looked, I thought to myself. I looked away then torn my eyes back to him. He has pale skin almost white it's almost just like mine, and black hair.
“She isn’t my friend, she is my sister,” she reassured him shamefully. Was she ashamed of me being her sister? I can’t be that bad. I scowled at myself and looked away from everyone. I could feel his eyes on me, I could melt right there, but I didn’t look back my eyes still wondering around. I mentally slapped myself you’re not supposed to like him.
“So you’re the famous Princess Kai?”I could feel his smile brighten, then he thought ‘Hmmm, I should go back to the princesses.’
“Yes, you should,” I choked out trying not to seem sad about him leaving. I was still not facing them so it was barely audible to hear. I finally turn back thinking he left but his eyes were on me, simply he was dumbfounded.

“What—how did you know?” I turned back around very quickly and felt like I was going to fall like my clumsy self, when I didn’t I thanked god. I heard my sister’s scuff. What is this sudden hatred for me?
“She is telepathic Prince Dominic,” my sister stated in utter disgust. I stood there with my heart breaking, my sister hates me. I turned around with wet eyes.
“I have to go now,” I whispered softly, slowly walking between my sister and the prince, careful not to touch him. After I passed the door I went slightly faster to the door across the room. After a few seconds of my fast pace I was out of the door and it slammed behind me. I guess I’ll just walk, the kingdom isn’t to far from here. This will give me time to go over my thoughts.
1. MY SISTER HATES ME???????
2. MY SISTER INDEED HATES ME.
3. I will never go back there where Dominic is.
4. My sister hates me.
I think I thought of that last one already. I walk long the road close to the forest, but the forest doesn’t taunt me. I continue down the path not looking back. I finally came back to my senses once I reached the kingdoms garden. Walking pass the rose garden I trip on a vine and cruse under my breath. This is the clumsy self I know so well. I was about to push myself up when I felt a hand on my arm pulling me up. I was about to say thank you when I saw his face, my breath shortened but didn’t stop for a moment. Damn, it’s Prince Dominic.
“What no, thank you,” he questioned dramatically. I rolled my eyes and begun walking away and stumbled a little half way out of the garden. I stopped myself to gather my thoughts so I could walk without tripping, stumbling, or any of that type of ordeal. A breath hit my heck and it sent a chill running down my spine.
“Thank you so much Prince Dominic,” I retorted dramatically placing my hand on my heart. I felt his breath on my neck again then he pulled back.
“Your welcome.” Then he wrapped his arms around me from behind. I was about to ask him what the hell he is doing, but he answered me before I could.
“You’re the princess I picked.” His voice sounded abnormally happy. I groaned and twirled towards him.
“Be careful, I bite back.” His smile just widened at that statement. I sigh and struggle to get out of his grasp. I hate him.
“So, you should probably come back with me,” he continued not responding to my statement with words just that goofy smile. I have to admit I fall for that smile. Once again I mentally slap myself, no thinking about him like that. After thinking so much I finally understood what he said and snapped out of it.
“Wait, what?” I know I sound like an idiotic princess right now, but that’s what love does. Love? No. Not love… I can’t be in love. Nope I refuse. Instead of answering me Dominic just steals my hand and started walking away with it dragging me along. I hope these people know I can walk by myself. Walking out of the garden he dropped my hand hoping I will still follow him back, and I did. I let out a few groans on the way there and one at the very end when we were back at the kingdom.
“I don’t want to go back in there, my sister hates me.” My voice cracked a lot when I said it out loud.
“No she doesn’t she just knew that I was going to pick you.” My sister doesn’t have a specific ability. I do it is anything to do with the mind. I believe Dominic’s is emotions. Usually, pureblood vampires have abilities, well the first born does. I was the first born and I got all the power while my sister did not. My parents dreaded this. They never liked me and wished me to die, they wished that my sister was the first born, and well that I never existed. I digress a lot if you haven’t notice, I get lost in my thoughts.
“Shall we,” Dominic says in a polite way. I nod and follow him in to the large kingdom, his kingdom is larger than mine because of political ranking. His father is the most popular, my father was the second. I say was because he died. I don’t even want to digress into that. Without thinking I grabbed Dominic’s hand and played with it. It was weird because I think about everything. I just had a sudden urge for him. I bit my lip, damn his ability. He can control others emotions. I continue to play with his hand when suddenly the large wooden door opens. I drop his hand and bow to the king and queen. They nodded and I lifted my head. Dominic reached back for my hand and he held it. I hate him, yet I love him. How does that work? ? I focus back onto the king and queen, they look like Dominic just more vigorous and dominate.
“Hello Princess Kai, I glad Dominic picked you over those other princesses, you’re the one I suggested to him but at first he didn’t listen.” His mother’s voice was dulcet and musical, but you can’t be fooled by that she could snap you with a blink of an eye.
“Hello Queen Alise. Thank you for suggesting me,” I replied using my sweet and innocent tone, which at the moment is real. I have always admired Queen Alise, and to hear that I could die and still be happy. I heard a laugh slip from the king. I guess he heard my thought.
“Yes I did, and hello Princess Kai,” the kings voice boomed throughout the room, he was being very modest yet I felt like I was going to flinch at his voice. Thankfully I didn’t. I mask my thoughts, hoping the king cannot hear them anymore. I looked pass the king and queen, to notice someone who looks like an assistant. He came forward towards Dominic and I, bowed to us than began to speak, “your wedding is in 4 days and the ball is in 2.” 4 days till a wedding, I’m marring someone I do not love. I would refuse this but I don’t have the
