I was humming to my favorite song while washing the dishes. When my uncaring and unloving dad barged into the kictchen. "Hey will you hurry up and make dinner"!!!. He was always like that since the day I was born. He wanted a boy not a girl because boys were better than girls. I nodded in response and turned back to washing the dishes and humming to the song. I have always dreamed of having a loving and caring mate who would care for me and make up for all those years. I smiled at the thought I hurried up and made dinner for my parents and siblings. I set everything on the table and smiled at them I left the dinning room and head for my room. In the little room under the stairs of our home that was my room it was moldy snicky and dirty. It sometimes gave me goosebumps but I had no where else to sleep or stay so I had to put up with it. I laid down on the small half wripted blanket and closed my eyes tomorrow would be the day that I finally get my mate. I was super excited I couldn't wait the thought of seeing my mate made me happy I wished everynight that the moon goddess would give me someone who would love me for who I am. My stomach grumbled when I smelled the food that I cooked coming from the dinning room I always take a little bit out of the food before I give it to them. I always go to bed hungry until I found this method so it became part of my night routine. I waited until they all went to bed when I crepted into the kitchen and took the food back to the closet room. My mother always said sweet words about my sister and brother but not to me it's like I'm invisible to them. It doesn't really bother me though I was used to being alone and being a nobody. Where no one sees you our pays any attention to you though it hurts soometimes at the thought of being lonely and not having any firends. I became despressed over it but I put it behind me and moved on beinf with my mate would make me happy so I just had to bare the pain and wait. The nexted day came I was really excited for the letter to come I waited snd waited the I heard the letter. I rushed out of the closet and to the door I opened the letter and read it. Anger fled through me when I read the letter what was the moon goddess thinking was she havng problens. Maybe they just send it to the wrong house yeah maybe that was the case. My dad came from upstairs and grabbed the letter from out of my hand and read it. He started laughing he looked at me and laughed even more. "You the little scumbag got picked by the moon goddess to be the nexted queen for red moon". I fucking hated him the sight off him disgusted me the stench when he drinks alcohol makes me sick to the bones. I grabbed the paper from out of his hands and ran back to the closet I slammed the door before sitting down. And wrapping my hand around my legs and crying as I looked dosn at the dirty ground full of dust. "You will never be a queen you are just a nobody. You will forever be one" my father said at the door. His words didn't make me more sad it gave me strength to believe in myself. And to not listen to his shitty words because none of it was true he was just trying to make me feel bad. I smiled and packed my things and left the house without telling them where I was going or that I even left the house. But I didn't care I made my way to the red moon castle though the journey there wasn't going to be easy I still went anyways. Night was coming I had to stop I needed to eat I hadn't eaten today I took out the dinner from my bag and started eating. It was cold out the trees were hawling and the wind was brushing on my back which made me shiver. I covered myself with my red cloak and put my hood up to cover me I laid down on the thick green grass and closed my eyes. I woke when the sound of men riding horses approached me sleeping peacefully on the green grass. I stood up and held my bag close the looked at me and I looked at them. The man on the black and white horse jumped down from the horse and walked up to me he took out a poster and held it up to me "is this you". The person on the poster was indeed me but what would scary looking men on horses want with a poor looking girl like me. "Yes that is me is there something wrong". "You are the kings mate please follow us". Was I being kidnapped I thought but like an idiot I followed them we arrived at a big castle the red moon castle the stone art of the royal family was there. But I didn't feel like a royalI felt like a normal girl from a poor and broke family. They escorted me into the castle they showed me around the kitchen t
