Rosemary’s POV
I slowly make my way through the garden , my thoughts are everywhere but in this world. As if it is in my second nature , I stroll through the garden letting my body direct me to the way out. My thoughts are on Alexander – the handsome yet scary stranger. Something about him felt familiar , a familiar that made my toes curl in fear and make my heart race with anxiety. A little tinkle brings me back from my day dreaming state – I look to my arms to see the little bunny awake. Well I guess I can not keep calling her bunny , a smile spreads across my face making my nose hurt a bit.
“Angel….” My voice is quiet and low. The name I have chosen – Angel – fits her perfectly. Her white coat of fur and her beautiful eyes makes her resemble a beautiful angel. She seems to like the name as she stares up at me and twitches her nose. I can not
______________________________ Rosemary’s POV Three months have passed since I had found Angel - my how she has grown , though she is still cute and still fits in my hand , she has grown up. While putting on my gown for this evenings dinner , I hear a tiny bell tinkle. The sound travels from my wash room , through the door and stops a few feet from me. I smile knowing that Angel has come to give me some company. After putting on the gown , my cheeks grow red with embarrassment. The dress that I had been forced to wear is way out of my comfort zone. Its thin fabric squeeze me , a cold breeze hits against my thigh as there is a slit along the dress on the right. The top of the dress was off shoulder leaving majority of my shoulder and collar bone exposed to the cold. What on earth was father thinking making me wear this dress? However , I wore it – I did not want to make him angry. It has been a while since I spent some q
___________________________________________________________________________ Rosemary’s POV Everyone fell silent after I agreed that the dress is nice , even though they know I strongly dislike it. I hated the fact that I had to lie about it to , however the look in my dad’s eyes told me to be good. Not only was my ad trying to impress Alexander , but everyone around us had the very same mission. Honestly speaking , I had this urge to run away from this gathering and hid however ; fate is not so kind to me. Alexander still shows me his crazed like smile – his eyes shining with evil happiness. I lower my eyes to my feet , admiring my cute little toes – I try everything in my power to block out of my mind that not far from me is a man that makes me feel so powerless and vulnerable ; a man that scares me just by being in the same room as I. Is it the way his eyes linger on my body for far to long? Was it the way he stared
Rosemary’s Pov I hear Andrew’s voice , gently speaking to me from the other of the door – his voice instantly making my anxiety and fear melt away into the unknown. Looking to the mirror , I find that my tensed face muscles are now easing up ; they begin to relax allowing my face to look like how I used to. I wipe my eyes , trying to pretend I was just not balling my eyes out in here. I take one last deep breath, letting out all my hated feelings. I slowly make my way to the door , my small finger gracefully latch onto it’s handle – my fingers tighten with my little power and I turn the handle. The door slowly opens up as I push the door open. In a second , I feel warm hands run around my waist in a loving manner. They strongly pull in me , making my face come into impact with the hard chest. I make a slight ‘oomph’ sound , as the action is too quick to comprehend. Andrew’s musky scent fills in lungs – his scent has a wa
__________________________________________________________ Andrew’s Pov After dismissing the guard , I lean against the wall – deeply thinking about the new king. What was his deal – why the sudden urge to gain power? I get it , power means everything now however gaining power at his rate is somewhat madness. It is as if he is trying to become the king of the world – which is thee worst if someone like him were to be seated on that thrown. The fact that he killed his own flesh and blood – he killed his own father – shows that he will do anything to gain the power his hunger heart desires. The fact that he is around my age , and so in need for power , violence and chaos makes me shiver as I think what chaos he may create over time. I am so deep in thought , that I do not see or hear Rosemary’s door open. I feel a soft cheeks press against my hand near my shoulder. When I look down , I see a cute little princess’s face smooshed against me.
_______________________________________________ Rosemary’s Pov Every one around the dinner table leans forward just a bit – including myself. We all are eager to hear what he has to say. I admit , he had hooked me with his words : “it is time we discuss the reason behind my visit…”. I was drawn in , wanting to have the closure behind his visit ; however… his sinister smile made me squirm uneasily in my chair. I watch as he eyes every one at the table , individually watching their minds work as they come up with different reasons behind his visit. At last , his eyes land on me – there was something different with the way he looked at me. His eyes were filled with excitement and mischievous wonder. “I am listening…” my father breaks the thick silence that suffocates the room. He gently pushes Alexander to get on with what he has to say , but with out sounding rude. Though my father had spoken , it is has he has not spoken at all accord
___________________________________________________________________________ Alexander’s Pov My eyes roam around the table , relishing the the horrific expressions that every one has put on. The words I have spoken , still echo around the room – every one surrounding me , even the guards show expressions of pure horror. I let my lips curve into a crooked smile – I presented an offer so cruelly planned that the king will have no other choice but to let me marry her. “What kind of absurdity is this?!!” the king’s loud voice echo’s after me. Clearly , he does not like the idea of his little princess being married. I look at him with boredom shining from my dropping eyes. “Absurdity? I think not…I assure you , all my conditions and deals are made with sound thought..” I answered him , looking at my hands showing him my true attitude and respect I have for him. Quite surprisingly , I did not h
___________________________________________________________________________ Andrew’s Pov Sitting next to the sleeping princess – her breathing is soft and gentle. I look upon her sleeping form , wondering what a lose it will be to see her go. How sad the kingdom will be to lose such a treasure , such a gentle and delicate soul. I try not to lose my calmness , I try not to throw around her vases – people say that people who are not well can pick up on the energy given off by the people that surround them. However , I can not help but let my anger take affect when thinking about what happened 3 days ago : 2 days ago : Andrew’s Pov His evil laughter echo’s through the kingdom – a great darkness has covered us. Every one stands in the dining hall , stunted by what has occurred this evening. For the first time in my life , I have seen the king this heavy hearted and so fear
Rosemary’s Pov It has five days since the dinner with King Alexander – five days since the kingdom has been put under great turmoil due to the deal Alexander has decided to make with my father. I am too give him my hand in marriage , if not – we would be forced to watch the kingdom and every one I love be burnt to the ground. A cruel deal indeed – a forceful marriage or war is to break loose in the land. I curl up into a ball , angel snuggles deeper into my hands. Curling into a ball gives me much more room in my secret hide out – well , the last time I came in here was years ago when Andy had left. I let my eyes wander this dark cave like room – a single ray of sunlight peeps through the creepers that hang over the entrance of the cave. The blanket that had been laid out had turned moldy and were getting eaten by the many insects that roam the soil – so before I could enter my gloomy state I had to clean it out especially when t
Rosemary’s Pov“I will eat later…” I say softly , offering him a smile. He exchanges a look with Xavier , but I do not stay for the lectures that I know is coming. Instead I walk to the entrance and sit on the floor in a crossed legged position – my eyes fixated on the fiery red flames that almost touches the sky. I sit out there for a while , enjoying the peace of being alone. At this moment , all I ever want is to be alone. I would often feel my stomach kick me with hunger , as my nose smelt the food that was cooking but I easily turned my attention back to the burning kingdom.Eventually after a while , I hear footsteps nearing me – I do not take notice of the person who takes a seat next to me and the masculine scent that enters my nose accompanied by the delicious smell of food , I come to a conclusion that it is Xavier with a plate of food.“Here…” he brings a spoon full of the bowls content to my mouth , and at first I refuse it but eventually I had given in to it’s scent and o
Unknown PovI stand in the safety of my own little hide away – a cave residing in a mountain. Most people will just pass by it , not even attempting to climb this death trap of a rock. Even if people did try to find me , they would not know where to look for I have many places like this one. Honestly speaking , finding a witch is hard mission it is a even harder mission when your husband rules the land….or well…ruled.I sit on the floor , feeling the earth’s energy being absorbed by my own tired one – my exhausted energy feeds off the earth , like a parasite sucking the energy from mother nature to ensure my own survival. I do not do this often , because well…I am capable of thriving on my own but the events recently have been draining more and more out of me.I lay my palms flat against the floor and feel my sobbing and sadden heart being filled with hope and love that the earth provides for me. The sadness drips down my face in the form of tears , it is as if the positive energy is
Alexander’s PovPresent The sun begins to set – it’s once harsh rays now paint the sky with a colour so beautiful that even I would forgive it for it’s tormenting heat that it had shining down upon us for so many days and nights. I stand upon a hill , over looking to yet another kingdom I have conquered. I watch as my men in the distance , as they pour oil onto the kingdom’s walls – soaking everything around it as well. I felt especially thrilled when I see them leaving trails of oil around the ‘famous’ garden every one gawks over.After they are all done , they all travel as quick as can be to where the rest of us stand. The night sky is particularly beautiful today ; could it be that the heavens are rejoicing for their many new arrivals or could it be the calm before the storm? I take a deep breath , breathing in the various scents of disappointment , anger , death and smoke.
Alexander’s Pov“You mean , the future king of this kingdom…” he says with a smirk on his face.“ His a stable boy – royalty does not flow through his veils…” I state , grinding my teeth.“I mean what did she even see in that low life – I am the real deal…I am the one with power!!” I state , hearing my loud voice echo in this empty hall.“ Guess he has power now…” I can not help myself , another fist comes into contact with the king’s face. The white veil that I have wrapped around my fist is stained with his crimson blood.“For fucks sake!!” He yells after spitting some blood from his mouth.“ They both married now , so fucking get over it! Just leave us , leave her and every one in this kingdom and go live your own life in your own kingdom!!” He snaps at me , however his voice also sounded as if he wa
Rosemary’s PovXavier and I are sitting at the main table , next to my father while the guests eat and rejoice on our wedding day. Every once in a while , some one will come up to the table and present us with gifts. I let out a sigh of content and bliss , as I interlock my fingers with Xavier’s under the table. This seems perfect , just the way I always imagined it. It almost does not feel like a psychopath is looking for us right now. For the first time in days , I feel this relaxed. My father tabs his cup with his fork , silencing the crowd before he spoke.“ To my baby girl and my son in law” he raises his glass filled with what I suspect is alcohol.“ I never thought any man would be worthy for my baby girl , but I am glad that I had handed her over to you – no man could love her more than you can and I know , it is for this reason that you will always protect her and keep her safe…” my fathe
Xavier’s Pov“Will you…please marry Rosemary!!!?” he blurts out.“Wha–“ I am beyond shocked right now , and I am sure that he notices my confusion as he nervously laughs. His nervous laughter soon dies down and he walks up to me , he places his hand on my shoulder before he speaks.“Do you love my daughter?” he ask me , his voice serious and stern.“More than anything in this world…” I reply without even thinking.“And I know that she loves you too… If Rosemary stays with me , I will have to get her married to a prince – I know this will break her heart. However , now that she can not stay with me , marriage is not an option for her” he says , with tears slowly gathering in his eyes.“ I can not imagine how she will survive , running from place to place – as a father I am worried sick for her. However , if you two m
Ally soldier’s Pov As I sit there , deep into thought I see something particular far away. There is a speck of light , two specks of light that emits from a lantern – I assume. I watch as it moves in a slow and steady pace , I try my best to see who it is but it is to far for me to see. Something tugs at my brain , it tells me that it is the four escapees . Instantly I see the lights die off , the specks have been put off as if someone did not want to be seen.“He was right…” I whisper to myself thinking back at what the king had said in the meeting room. I realised that it was the indeed the four , and at first I was quite impressed by their plan. However , I felt helpless as I know that they are heading to their doom.“ See anything?” I jump to my feet , startled by his deep dark voice. The king stands next to me , overlooking the area with me.“Sire!” I say in sudden shock , stand
Rosemary’s Pov“Rose , rose…” I hear my name being called and his hands gently shaking me awake. I slowly opened my eyes and am blinded by the sunlight that penetrates my eyes.“Good morning…or should I say good afternoon…” chuckles , before placing a tender kiss on my cheek. My eyes fly open at the mention of it being the afternoon , did I really sleep for the entire day?!“Afternoon?” I ask him.“ Yes , the sun is going to set in a while” he chuckles again while looking ahead of him.“Alright , we can stop here for a bit – Xavier , get some sleep” I see Andrew helping Britney off the horse. Soon after Xavier does the same for me.“I can’t…the girls…” he tries to reason with Andrw but the stubborn soldier is not having none of it.“ You need sleep…we both do&helli
Rosemary’s Pov“ What’s wrong…You look like you need daddy’s help…” I tightly squeeze my thighs together trying to stop the now desperate need that my sex has.“Daddy…” I found my self calling him that in a low whisper filled with desperation.“Please….help….” I plead with him with no shame. I feel his lips smile as it brushes against my own , however , in the next second his lips smash onto my own. I moan softly as I am completely engulfed by the feel of his lips , his scent that swarms around me , the feel of his hands softly gripping onto my hair and the soft moans that escape his mouth.Our moment was quickly ruined by a horse neighing loudly – we split apart and raising to our seats thinking it is one of Alexander’s men but relaxed a bit when we saw it was only Andrew. I had to ignore the ache I had between my legs and pretend that we
