Library- TLC Shipweek: Library

TLC Shipweek day 4- Library. This also goes towards my prompt #9- College. This is Cress and Carswell.

Cress sighed as she placed her bag down on the small table at the back of the library. She ran a hand through her short, blonde hair, and began searching for the out of print novel she needed for her ‘Leisure Travels’ class. The librarian had said that all out of print books were in the back, and Cress knew she had her work laid out for her.

The back of the library was a place that so few people went, that the librarians did not waste time on sorting through the books, they simply shoved them on to the shelves and called it good. She braided her bangs back into a hair clip, and began searching.

Halfway through the first bookcase, she found the book. It was on the top shelf. Cress was five feet exactly, and the bookcase was at least six feet. She looked around, but soon realized she was completely alone in that part of the library. She sighed, trying to find good hand holds to try and climb the shelves, but her hands kept slipping.

Sighing, she threw up her hands in defeat, and turned to go ask for a ladder, when she saw a boy. He stood at the end of the aisle, and his arms were crossed over his chest, lips quirked up in amusement. “Do you need some help?”

Cress looked between the book, and the over-six-feet-tall man, and nodded. He strode over to her, and lifted his arm to grab the book. His shirt rode up, and Cress got a glimpse at his tanned stomach, before it dropped. Cress quickly averted her eyes, but his smirk showed her he had noticed her staring. He grabbed a pen that was behind his ear, and jotted something in the book before handing it to her.

Cress opened the book to see what he said. It was his name- Carswell “Captain” Thorne, and his number. Cress glanced up, but he was gone. Cress grinned, and walked back to her table.

The Wedding- TLC Shipweek: Ever After

TLC Shipweek Day 5- Ever After. This also goes towards my prompt #4- Wedding. This is Cinder and Kai.

Cinder looked at herself in the mirror, smoothing down the front of her dress. The floor length mirror was bordered by a golden frame, showed Cinder, hair pulled into a side bun, pinned with diamond barrettes, dressed in a long, white dress, with long sleeves that flowed down her arms. A long diamond necklace graced her neck, accompanied by a matching diadem. She was about to marry Kai.

Iko ran around the room, trying to finish everything in the ten minutes they had left until the ceremony. Her long blue braids, were pinned into a half-ponytail, and her long red dress was pinned at her neck, without any sleeves. It was slightly different than those of her other bridesmaids, Scarlet and Cress, because she was the maid of honor. Scarlet and Cress were dressed in knee length red dresses, with short, capped sleeves.

Cinder was nervous. She had no doubt of Kai’s affection, and she was ecstatic to be his wife, she was simply worried of everyone who were going to be watching, at the actual ceremony, and from pods. Her friends were trying to calm her down, but she had a feeling only Kai would be able to do that.

She was more excited about after the wedding. Their honeymoon was going to be on an island in what used to be Europe. She was ready for a whole month, just the two of them, at peace, and completely relaxed. She was not sure how her ovaries faired after the fire, but she was hoping that she could bring Kai an heir. He was not worried about it. He said that if she could not have children, they could adopt, and the Eastern Commonwealth would accept that child as the heir.

“Alright people, places!” Iko corralled all of them into the proper line, Cress then Scarlet then Iko and then Cinder. They stood, flowers in their hands, and walked down to the aisle. Cress met with Thorne, and then Scarlet with Wolf, and Iko with Kon Torrin, Kai’s best man. Cinder wished Winter could have come. She was still recovering from her time at the mental hospital, and she decided to stay in Luna.

The Wedding March started, and the walk began. Cinder almost froze when she saw Kai. He had on a regular black suit with a red tie to match her bride maids’ dresses, and the red details on her dress. Everything else melted away when she saw him. She forgot about all of the people watching, she forgot about her friends, she forgot about everything but Kai.

As soon as she made it to him, he grabbed her hands, leaned in, and whispered, “you look beautiful.”

Cinder smiled, “you look very handsome yourself.”

The priest began speaking, and soon enough it was time for their vows. “Cinder, from the moment I saw you in the market that day, I knew you were the woman for me. You taught me how to look past common prejudices, and showed me there is more to a person than where they are from, or what they are made of. You loved me at my worst and at my best, and forgave me for all of my faults. You were an amazing ruler of Luna, and I am sure you will be an amazing ruler of the Eastern Commonwealth.”

Cinder smiled and began talking, “Kai, the first time I saw you all I could think about was my sister. I knew Peony would have freaked out when she heard that I was helping Prince Kai, her dream boyfriend. Amazingly in that time, you became my dream boyfriend as well. You stood by me when you learned I was part android, and you fought with me when I wanted to make a revolution. You have always supported me in whatever I do, and you are my biggest rock. I love you.”

They smiled at each other, and the priest continued. “Do you, Emperor Kaito, take Linh Cinder to be your lawfully wedded wife?”

Kai’s grin could have lit up a circus, “I do.”

“And do you, Linh Cinder, take Emperor Kaito, to be your lawfully wedded husband?”

Cinder had a matching grin, “I do.”

Captive- TLC Shipweek: Pirates

TLC Shipweek day 3: Pirates. This also goes towards my second prompt: First Meeting. Scarlet is given over to the terrifying Captain Wolf to pay her father’s debt, but she is not giving up her freedom without a fight. This is going to become a multichapter story, so this is only the beginning. I will post more chapters on here and on my Archive of My Own “Iloveacting12″.

Scarlet knew something was wrong the moment her father came barging into her room at all hours of the night. Her grandmother was following him, scolding him for a gambling mistake she was sure he had made, but her father was not listening to her. He came up to me and pulled me from bed, shoving me into my closet. “I have lost a game of cards to the notorious Captain Wolf, I bet more than I could give him, and the price he has required is you. I have agreed, and his ship is waiting on our dock for you. Get dressed in your best dress, and pack quickly. Captain Wolf is not a patient man.”

Scarlet had no time to think. She knew her father’s gambling had become a problem, she had seen it when their furniture began to dwindle, her father’s hair began to grey, and he became a drunk, but she had never expected him to gamble her life away. She pulled the emerald green dress, the only piece of nice clothing she had left, from its hanger, and quickly threw it on, doing up the laces herself. She did not put on a corset, she figured that if Captain Wolf wanted her at her best, he should not have expected her so early in the morning.

Scarlet was surprised with herself. She suspected that if this had happened to anyone else, they would have panicked. Obviously Captain Wolf wanted something of her. Most likely a marriage, or at least sex. Scarlet had never had sex. She had been forced to do other lewd things for her father’s friends, but nothing to destroy her “precious virtue”. Her father must have expected her to be more than a captive, if he was willing to give me to a man.

Scarlet left the closet to see their only maid and her grandmother throwing her clothes into her luggage. She felt the sting at seeing her grandmother helping her pack, not putting up a fight against her father. Her grandmother had always stood at her side through her father’s unreasonable anger, she always made sure she was not dragged into his problems, but this time she said nothing. She would not even look Scarlet in the eye.

As the two of them finished packing, her grandmother stood, and pulled her into a tight hug. Scarlet’s muscles instantly loosened, her grandmother’s hugs always had the power of calming her. “Do not let him control you dear. This is your chance to get away from your father. Hopefully the rumors of Captain Wolf being lenient is true. Try to be good, and make them your allies, not your enemies.” With that whisper, she pulled back and kissed Scarlet on the cheek, before letting go and leaving the room.

Scarlet followed her father and their maid, carrying her bags, outside and to the dock. In sharp contrast to the warmth of the house, outside the rain was slapping Scarlet’s face, and the wind was causing her red curls to snarl almost immediately. She turned back towards the house she had grown up in. It was large, much larger than their bank account, it was deceiving. It was what deceived her mother into marrying her father, and what caused her to run away without her only child. It rose four stories with great, white pillars standing on either side of the doorway. She had grown up running through those halls, playing hide-and-seek with her maid, and learning to cook, hiding her secret garden in the courtyard her father never went to, as it was the place he had proposed to her mother. It had been her life, no matter how dreary it had been, and she was having to leave it all behind.

She startled when she felt her father’s harsh grip on her elbow, when he led her to the large ship waiting ominously. A man walked down the ramp and grabbed her luggage, pulling it up, passing another man, who Scarlet knew was the Captain when the other, quickly bowed, and gave him a large berth. Even if that tell tale sign had not happened, she would have been able to read the signs. He was dressed all in black, a large black hat placed on his brow, and he strode with such confidence, that Scarlet felt the need to bend at the waist and completely surrender to him.

She turned to see what her father would do, but he was gone. She quickly turned in a circle, but found him running away, already over the hill so she could not call him back. She heard a chuckle, one that sent shivers down her spine, she was not sure if it was from fear or something else.

Scarlet squared her shoulders, and turned back towards the man who was now her owner. He lifted an eyebrow when she did nothing but stare at him. Obviously he had been expecting her to curtsy to him, as the other man had bowed, but Scarlet would not show any weakness, if she wanted him to respect her, she knew she would have to show an iron backbone. When she did nothing he chuckled again, “well, this is going to be fun.”
