Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Orphen, never have, but wish I did.
Note: This idea has been replaying in my head at least three hundred times so I finally decided to write it so I can hopefully finish The Bet and start/finish the sequel to The Truth Behind the Book. Ok, anyway this is my first Orphen fan fic so be easy on me (especially since I'm writing this and I've only seen up to episode 10 at the moment - -;) This is going to be a Cleo and Orphen fic just in case you didn't know. Anyway, ON WITH THE STORY!!!!
The Marriage Predicament
Chapter 1
Introduction
Cleo stood outside on her balcony watching the clouds slowly float freely by. Her elbows rested on top of the railing and in her hands she held her petite face. A slight breeze slightly blew her long, golden locks. She sighed. It had been six years since her adventures with the sorcerer, Orphen, and his apprentice, Majic. She was now at the young age of 24. She had grown a lot since her journey. Her blonde hair was now almost to her knees, she had refused to get it cut. Her eyes were still bright blue with the sparkle of innocence that they had always held and she had finally filled out into the shape of a real woman. Although she had changed quite a bit on the outside, it was the inside of her that had matured the most. She had become more intelligent since she had come home. Her mom forced her back to school right away, afraid that she had missed way too much school to ever catch up. She had also cooled her temper down quite a bit too. She still was easily annoyed or angered, but she didn't blow her top as easily as she had a couple of years ago. She had also realized something. She knew now that she couldn't stay a child forever. She had to grow up sometime even if the majority of her wanted to stay young and hang on to her child like dreams forever. The wind blew by and carried the bark of a young, blue demon. That's what brought Cleo back to reality. She turned her head down and looked at her companion.
"What is it Leki?"
The Demon Child looked at her with a depressed look. He could feel her emotions and at the moment he could tell she was extremely miserable. The little, wolf looking creature had grown as well in the past six years. His powers had developed greatly and he had even grown bigger too. He now looked like a full-sized wolf. The creature let out a small whimper to let his companion know that he knew something was wrong. The young woman bent down and petted her friend on the head.
"It's all right. I'm okay. Don't you worry about a thing," Cleo told the animal hoping it would buy her story. She knew deep inside that everything wasn't all right. She had been betrothed to some guy she hadn't even known until two days ago.
: : Flashback : :
Cleo followed her mother down the hall and out into the garden. She was taking Cleo to meet another one of her suitors. Cleo scrunched her nose is pure hate and anger. She had been meeting suitors each day for over a month now and she was getting sick and tired of it. Why couldn't her mother understand that she didn't want to get married, at least not yet. They finally reached their destination. A young, refined man with black hair and green eyes awaited their arrival. When he saw that they had arrived he walk up to Cleo's mother and took her hand in his. He kneed down and kissed the top of her hand lightly.
"Madam Everlasting, it is a pleasure to see you once again," the man said as he stood up.
He then looked behind her to find Cleo standing there. Her gracefully walked over, took her hand as he kneeled down in front of her, and then kissed the top of her hand before speaking again, "You must be Miss Cleo Everlasting. It is an honor to be able to meet such a beautiful and young woman such as yourself."
Cleo just gave a slight curtsy after he let go of her hand. She couldn't help, but try to shrug off the bad vibe she was getting from this guy. It made her feel uneasy. Cleo looked at the man and then back to her mother before she spoke.
"It was nice meeting you, but I'm afraid I have things I must attend to. Excuse me," Cleo said before she curtsied again and then turned around and stated to leave, but her mother stopped her.
"Cleo Everlasting you get back here right this instant. That is no way to talk to your future husband!" Mrs. Everlasting shouted at her daughter.
Cleo whipped around with a surprised looked written over her face.
"What did you say?" Cleo asked in pure disbelief.
"That's correct. I can't wait forever Cleo, so I have arranged for you to marry Mr. Akito," her mother said insistently.
"You what!!!!" Cleo yelled.
"That's correct Cleo," her mother stated.
Cleo wanted to yell at her so much, but the words just weren't coming out. So she turned and left the area with an extremely bad temper.
: : End of Flashback : :
Cleo looked up at the sky. Somehow it had already become dark. She spotted the very first star so she made a wish.
'I wish I could find a way out of this situation.'
With that she turned and walked back into her room. Hoping that her wish would come true.

Ok this is my first Orphen fan fic. I've only seen up to episode 11 so if I get facts wrong then I'm really sorry. I know this chapter is quite short, but I wanted to get it posted a.s.a.p. and I have an idea for another fic already in my head. Also I have to update my other fics, so I was hoping that getting this idea/chapter out of my head would help me think of ideas for my other 2 fics. I guess we'll find out soon. I'll try and make the next chapter longer. PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!!! THANK YOU!
