The Missing Piece

The Missing Piece (Introduction)

If I could warn the world of myself and what I am capable of, I would. What's the point of that though? Would you tell the whole world you were a ticking time bomb if you though so? Now I would tell you how I came to be so capable of evil, but you wouldn't be amused with it so simply put. So I'll start where I feel things seem just right.

     "Wake up! Angel!"
It was barely morning. What was happening?
"Huh? What's wrong?"
I open my eyes to see my brother's sweaty face hovering above me. He only gets like that when something has gone seriously wrong.
"Steven what has happened?"
"Get dressed, Father has some important news to tell you."
"Okay, but why do you look so, I don't know...serious?"
"Let's talk later, okay." He walks out the room with heavy steps.
   
As I walk up to my fathers throne I realize that there are way to many people here. What's going on? I feel my heart beat faster as I approach him. My eyes catch a glimpse of Bryan who's standing near the altar. I get a horrible feeling as my stomach starts to turn. Has my father found out?
"Angel. How are you my sweet?"
"I am doing well father. Why have you asked for me?"
"I see that you have not yet married."
"I am only sixteen father. I am sure you understand that this is not the same time period that you were born in." I say this with a soothing tone, but I don't know what he's getting to.
"Angel, my sweet I have arranged for you to be engaged with the young prince of the West. Bryan."
No! No, no, no! What is happening?
     "Father surely you must be mistaken. How can I marry with
out falling in love first?"
I shot a nervous glance towards Steven, but he kept his head glued down to the floor. What was I supposed to do now? I couldn't simply explain how Steven and Bryan secretly love eachother and have been going out for a year! I felt my world crashing down. I couldn't breath, my lungs felt tight.
I...I...just fell.
