And her body ached to hug her. To hug her mother tight. She wanted her mother so bad. But no, she was far from home, she was in danger and she was alone. Alone, alone and scared. She needed her mother…

Suddenly all the images flashed inside Jasmine’s head at lightning speed.

She couldn’t hear her voice though. She couldn’t sense her presence as clearly as she would if she could.

So Jasmine held onto that thread of hope as tight as she could. The tears kept flowing until they finally dried out. She laid there on the ground for a long while.

She didn’t want to leave. She wanted the feeling of her mothers touch, her smell, her laughter, her voice… her warmth.

Slowly the feelings began to fade away. Her mother was no longer there and the cold and harsh reality was setting in, slowly creeping into her brain and making her realize just what a terrible mistake she had made.

    Instead she simply closed her eyes. And as she lay there quietly, her mind wandered off as she lost herself once more in an empty sea of memories, dreams, thoughts, images, hopes, fears and joy. It took her a while to realize that the ringing noise was no longer inside her head.She tried to turn around, but she simply didn’t feel like she could move. Instead she looked all around her. She tried to see the source of the strange ringing noise, but she couldn’t really see anything. She couldn’t tell where exactly the sound was coming from either. She tried to speak again, but she still couldn’t make any sound come out, even when she opened her mouth wide enough. Her throat just seemed to get stuck, as it felt so incredibly dry and cracked apart. But no matter how hard she struggled or how loud she screamed, the ringing wouldn’t stop.There was nothing left to say. There was nothing but silence echoing loudly around her, causing the ringing in her ears to grow louder than it already had

    she smiled. “And yes, please take care of my feet,” she added, smiling at him playfully. “They hurt like hell,” she giggled as she ran her fingers along the bottom of one foot. “You know how much I love those shoes…” she told him, smiling. “I can walk however I please now.”With that she took his hands in her own and walked over to his bed and sat down next to it. She sat calmly beside him with a sigh."Let me see it," he took her leg and examined it carefully. "Are you hungry?"she smiled sweetly, “And no, I don’t think I could eat anyway.”For some reason his eyes narrowed a little and his brow furrowed. She didn’t understand why. “What do you mean you don’t think you could eat? You haven’t eaten in two days. Do you not remember eating or…?"Jasmine shook her head, “Not anymore… I can't remember what food tastes like anymore. I don’t feel like eating, and besides, I don’t think that would really help my situation.”He frowned a little but tried to avoid long talks.and looked down

    How could she have forgotten how important she was to him?She swallowed the lump in her throat, forcing down the tears. "We'll get through this Dylan. Together." She assured him.Dylan raised an eyebrow in confusion and asked quietly, "Together?"Jasmine gave him a small sad smile, "Yes."She replied as confidently as she could, feeling the weight of the past weighing upon her shoulders, making it hard to breathe.Dylan nodded slowly, staring at her intently, and she saw the same pain reflected in his eyes. As if he had seen that same pain himself. The silence stretched out uncomfortably.We'll get through it together.""You promise?" he whispered, looking at her with wide innocent eyes.She nodded quickly, "Of course I do. I'm not leaving your side Dylan. I'll never leave your side."Dylan nodded slightly, a warm smile lighting up his handsome features."Good," he muttered, leaning forwards again, his brows meeting in the middle as his eyes locked with hers, his hands holding the co

    He settled into the chair next to her, his gaze never leaving her peaceful face. He watched her for what seemed like hours, lost in thought. His mind wandered to the time they had spent together, the memories flooding back. He couldn't help but feel guilty for his actions that had led to her leaving in the first place.As he watched her, he couldn't help but feel a sense of protectiveness.

He gently pulled away from Jasmine's embrace, careful not to wake her as h

    He wasn’t even joking around anymore. The serious expression on his face scared Jasmine.She hesitated for a moment and then said, "Okay… I'll give you some of mine, alright. But just a little bit." She conceded.A slow smile spread across his lips. “Thanks, Princess”As if it were the most obvious thing in the world. Her cheeks heated up when he caught her staring at him. Her heart fluttered nervously in her chest, and the air felt hot against her skin. Her mind flashed back to their last night together. How he seemed content to let her go.She shook her head to dislodge those thoughts and turned away so that she wasn't caught staring at him.Dylan watched her carefully. Her gaze remained focused on the empty seat next to her and he realized that she was nervous.And embarrassed. He reached across the table again, grabbing her wrist gently and dragging her chair closer to the empty place beside her.She blinked at him in surprise. But she didn't pull away or resist. She was curious,

    Anita continued to stare at Dylan, unable to speak. She glanced between the two men, seemingly trying to figure out who she was supposed to address first.Realizing her confusion, Travis spoke, "Is everything alright, Anita?"Anita jumped slightly at the unexpected voice, but composed herself quickly.Anita stuttered, unable to respond, staring at Dylan in horror.Travis cleared his throat, causing Anita to snap out of her trance and shake her head wildly. "Your Highness! I did not expect to see you here."Dylan responded in confusion, "Neither did I, but I'm here anyway.""I heard that there are plans to attack the palace, and to stop you," Anita said with trepidation, as she avoided looking at either of them."What do you mean?" Dylan questioned. Anita looked down as she fumbled with her words, seeming reluctant to answer, "There's ... there's an attack planned to take place this afternoon. And your Highness, I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to tell you anything more."Dylan narrowed his

Had something happened to him during the night?She looked around the room, hoping to see him sitting in a chair or standing by the window, but he was nowhere to be found.

But as she checked the room more thoroughly, she realized that he was not there.Jasmine's heart started pounding harder as she began to worry that something had happened to him. She started to frantically search every corner of the room, looking under the bed and in the closet, but he was not there.

    Jasmine was still sleeping in the room when the door of the room opened. She was not aware of the happenings around her environment in the room so she didn't know who walked in.She felt her breath being blocked by an opaque shadow but her consciousness was very low as at then until she felt a touch on her cheek. She opened her eyes as she woke up to the light touch. She was shocked to see who it was. Dylan!"I- Is this you?" She stammered out of shock as she couldn't believe what her eyes were seeing. She was very shocked to see Dylan right in front of her. She couldn't control her breathing and excitement."Yeah, it's me." He replied to her while smiling but she was having a mixed expression of happiness and fear.She grabbed his hand immediately and he confirmed that he was the one. Dylan was surprised at how she acted towards him but he thought that she just missed him and was happy to see him not until she got up from the bed and stood up while she began to doubt her sanity."Am

    Anita turned around only to see Dylan and Travis standing there."Guards!" Dylan called angrily. "Cease her and check her room to see if there's anything there. Tomorrow would be set for your punishment."Dylan watched the guards dragging her away as she begged for him to listen to her. "Your Highness, I saw this in her room and many more." Dylan grabbed the letters and only then held information."That woman," he growled angrily."Travis," Jasmine beamed and quickly rushed to hug him. "Oh my God, I'm glad you're okay.""Yeah me too," he hugged her back. She pulled back and turned to Andrew. "You look okay as well, though as if you had a heart attack?" She teased and he smiled at her."Believe me when I say I never thought a heart attack would come in handy." He winked and she laughed.The rest were confused by their interaction but Jasmine and Andrew understood each other. She turned next to see Janice which made her smile widen."Janice, I've missed you.

    "Who are you?" The king asked angrily.His aunt shifted closer to the king to whisper into his ears. The king's eyes widened in surprise."Oh so you're Dylan, my rival. I never knew I would be having you here tonight if not I could've been expecting your presence. But nothing has gone wrong and I think it would be wise if I give you the honor to serve the king which most servants find hard."Dylan knew better that he was mocking him and he wasn't surprised when the king signaled the servants to bring in drinks."Let him serve the king," the king laughed devilishly. Dylan clenched his fists when the guard offered him drinks to hold up for the king. His aunt smirked at him.So this was where she was all this while. He should've known better than to expect anything less from that family. Just remembering everything that he got to know from Sebastian made him boil but he held it in.Dylan bore the humiliation until he was done being a slave under the king. He waited patiently and slowly

    Dylan felt restless and he felt the need to talk to someone, anyone in particular. He stood and found himself walking to the dungeon only to hear a sound coming from close by.He paid close attention and rushed over when he saw a guard struggling with blood all over him."What happened?""A... Attack. We're under attack," he struggled to say. Dylan looked close and saw the stabbed wound on his chest. He stood up and rushed over to where he believed Andrew was but no one was there. He became worried she quickly rushed to Jasmine's room but it was also empty. "No!" He screamed as his heart beat in his ears loudly."This can't be happening," he said while fidgeting in the room. What is going on? His rival was fast enough or maybe he was distracted instead."I see everything seems to be a shock to you," he heard a familiar voice from close by."Sebastian," he spat angrily as he turned around."I wasn't expecting you to find out this way, in fact, I wasn't expecting you to find out at al

    Dylan's eyes scanning the crowd before him. The people had gathered in the main square, eager to hear what their leader had to say. They whispered amongst themselves, wondering what this urgent announcement could be about."Dylan, Dylan, Dylan!" they chanted, as he raised his hands for silence."Everyone," Dylan began, his voice carrying across the square. "Today, I stand before you with a heavy heart. It has come to my attention that one of our own has betrayed us. One of our own has been stolen from the kingdom's treasury."The crowd gasped, their eyes widening in shock and disbelief."I speak of none other than my own friend, Travis," Dylan continued, his voice trembling with emotion. "He has been banished from this kingdom, never to return."The crowd erupted into a mixture of cheers and jeers. Some were happy to see justice being served, while others were outraged at the banishment of one of their own.Dylan continued to speak, his voice growing louder and more forceful. "I assu

    Dylan sent her away after and she dragged herself away from him. Dylan paced around his room and he found it rather unsettling with her calm and silent she was. What was going on with her?He shook his head and decided to go and check on things himself. He also needed to go to the meeting with the elders concerning the war. He went off to the place and was startled to see the guards already there and waiting for him."What is going on?" He asked them with a frown."There's something you need to know, alpha," they said immediately as he sat down."What is that?" He asked with a creased face."We found out that someone is stealing from us."He furrowed his brows. "Who could that can?""Well, before your return Travis wanted to keep everything safe so for that reason he decided to keep things under his watch and that means taking in some things is his responsibility.""He took the royal guard for example until you returned before he gave them back to you.

    Dylan was stunned by the news he just got. He was already feeling guilty for locking Jasmine up and he was already regretting everything he did but he tried not to let it disturb him. Yet he had this feeling like she failed her and he needed her to trust him.He sighed and looked around the room in frustration. He couldn't even trust her and yet here he was bothering her after all the lies she told him. However, he felt alone and needed her by his side. He suddenly felt like she should be worth him and not far from him.What was he going to do? He felt lost and he needed advice but had no one to meet.

    She took in deep breaths as she stared through the door and watched as they all walked around. She felt relieved but at the same time bothered by their presence, just needed to escape."So what is the plan?" She heard his voice from behind her."What else than to make sure we get out of here." She immediately crouched to his level. "I think it's best if we act it up, like act as if you're having a heart attack or something.""Would that work? I mean there is a higher possibility that it won't work at all.""Well we have no other option but to try." She revealed and sighed. "I just want to leave this place before it's too late," she replied."How can you do that?" "Simply by act, exactly what I just told you. That would be the simplest way out of here and you know I'm telling the truth.""I guess you're correct but I think guards wouldn't fall for such tricks immediately.""Then it's our job to make them fall.

    "Hello…" She called him but he refused to speak to her or even turn to look at her."Aren't you… aren't you the physician who treated me?" Jasmine asked as she approached him and began to speak to him.After hearing that, he turned his eyes but didn't turn to look at her."What are you doing here sir? Did Sebastian send you here after he got stabbed or who did?" Jasmine asked him and on hearing that, Andrew turned to look at who was talking to him."You….I recognize you. Why are you here? Who brought you here?" Andrew asked her as soon as he saw Jasmine and recognized her."It was not a funny experience sir. I got kidnapped and ended up here." Jasmine replied simply."And no one has come to save you?" He asked in surprise."Yes, no one did and I even doubt if anyone even knows that I went missing." She replied again."And how is what you are saying even possible? Was Dylan the one that put you here? What did you do to him for him to keep you here ?" He asked her but she just sighed."

    She leaned against the cool surface and waited for the dizziness to subside. That smell... She remembered it somewhere but couldn't put her finger on it. Her eyes focused on the wall again and she realized that it was getting lighter. She looked around cautiously but everything seemed normal.Nothing was out of place and the floor was covered by the carpet. Everything looked exactly the same. Except for the feeling in the air. It felt thick and oppressive but at the same time warm and comfortable.The strange scent began to disappear when a bright light appeared.No shadows. No dark shapes. Just light. It was definitely coming from the windows, which were open. How did it get open without opening it first? The only explanation was that somebody opened it. Or perhaps... she thought as a shiver ran through her. The smell was getting stronger. She closed her eyes and concentrated on listening closely.Except that the smell continued, stronger and stronger. Was that what she smelled ear
