Rosemary’s Pov
Twelve days have passed – two days are left remaining until King Alexander revisits us to get his answer. Each day that passes makes every one in the kingdom more and more hostile and stressed. My father tries to put on a happy face , he tries to act brave and well put together but I know that he is just as fearful as I am…maybe even worse.
Every day , for the past twelve days I have been watching the preparations my father has been making for the most feared king’s return. From my balcony every day , I watch the way the soldiers ensure that the wall is firm and that there are enough wooden spikes on the top of it. I watch as they heave and pull at their giant weapons ; the trebuchet. This machine always left me speechless ; imagine a machine throwing a giant rock into the air towards the enemy. I could not even imag

___________________________________________________________________________ Andrew’s Pov “There is ABSOLUTELY no way that Rosemary will be getting married to him !!!” The king fists the giant round table that is in the middle of the room. The tiny sculptures representing the kingdom , the soldiers and the enemy rattle around on the table by the unexpected force that the king has hit the table with. The king stares daggers at one of the council members – the council member who had considered giving Alexander the princess. “My lord…Do not think of it as abandoning her – I just simply stated that we should let him believe that she is marrying him and when his guard is down we can strike…” though he makes a good point , it will be a too big of a risk. He did not take in to consideration that the princess may be held hostage or may even lose her life if we are not able to rescue her in time. Not to mention , that Alexander is crafty and q

___________________________________________________________________________ Andrew’s Pov A normal path way comes in to view – the only thing that makes this path way different from the rest is that there are footprints on them. I slowly walk over to the first foot print , analyzing the substance that causes the left behind print. Though it was hard squatting down with the princess clinging to my body , I did it. The first foot print leading away from the direction it is coming from is the lightest of them all ; however , the substance being used was one that I knew of very well. As a soldier , I have fought various wars and won - I have trained and had been trained , and during these two events all soldiers are bound to see such a liquid flow through them as it leaks from their wound or bust lip. Soldiers are bound to see this liquid as they pierce their enemy and watch as the crimson liquid flow out of their bod

___________________________________________________________________________ Rosemary’s Pov I feel Andrew tense up as we both approach the fountain – his hold on me tightens. I will admit having Andy hold me and carry me makes me feel so much safer – I know that in this position no one will be able to hurt me because they will have to deal with Andy. It feels as if though we three are expecting to jump out from the fountain – a feeling of the unexpected suffocates us as we get closer and closer to it. As we approach the fountain , I see that the water is red – that is odd , the water is normally clear and is not red. A chill runs through my body as I fear that it is blood – my thoughts are then confirmed. A big red blood stain dries in the sun at the fountains edge – the stain a big splatter spot of red. I notice how the big splatter of blood lightly drip to the floor – a string of red travels from the edge as it is pul

___________________________________________________________________________ Rosemary’s Pov I find myself kneeling on the rough soil , Andrew kneels next to me as well. We both are digging a hole with our bare hands – it takes me back to the little kids we were. We would be in this same position , digging our way to the other side of the world. You can only imagine how sad we were when we realized that that is impossible. Nevertheless , we still kept digging – it was like one of our ways to relief our sadness or our anger. We would pretend instead that we trying to escape our reality by digging our way out of our troubles. After a certain age , we kind of stopped it. Instead we just buried it like every other adult would. We continue digging – it has been a while since we have spoken. We dig deeper and deeper , trying the dig the best hole we can. I can not help but sniffle a few times , as I mourn th

___________________________________________________________________________ Alexander’s Pov I try so hard to hold my laughter in – thankfully I do. I watch my little precious girl crying her eyes out as she buries her pet. Honestly speaking…I do feel my heart ache watching her hurt this much but I know it is something I have to do in order to make her mine. Once she is mine , nothing will ever harm her again. The laughter I feel erupting at my throat is because of her little boy toy that sits next to her. He is trying so hard to find me , but he does not realize I am closer than he thinks. I sit crouched up in a bush , not to far from them. If he opens his eyes just a bit , he has clear view of me – however , he fails to do so as he is comforting my girl. I feel my resentment for him grow as I recall the way he carried her to the fountain – his hands holding her , having her against his hip as if she was his baby girl.

Before dawn was upon us , I lay awake in bed mentally preparing myself for what is to come today. Sadly , no matter how much I prepared myself – or attempted to prepare myself – I had no clue what would happen today. I had no idea who would lose their lives , who would betray us , who will fight by our sides and who will stand victorious. All that I could do , is do my best to keep Alexander from getting what he wants. I will lay my life down to protect the princess and the people that are of this land – I would fight till my last breath to see King Alexander fall to his doom. I stand by my window , I lean against the wall. I watch how the sun rises – it’s beautiful rays of sunlight reminds me that of the two people

___________________________________________________________________________ Rosemary’s Pov Every one is silent – they all look to me. I cower away , shrinking myself so that I may not feel their heated eyes on me. Every one wants me to give an answer of their choosing – how am I to please every one while pleasing my self as well? I look at each of their faces – each one has a different expression , each one has me begging me to give an answer that pleases them. Alexander smirks my way , his eyes are fixated on my face – daring me not to look away. I fear to turn away from his piercing eyes – his eyes making sure that I know what he will do if I make the wrong decision. I visibly gulp in fear as I imagine my loved ones being killed in front of my eyes. He looks pleased by the way I gulp in fear as he smiles and bites on his lower lip. I finally pull my eyes from Alexander’s direction and I look to a furious Andy

I lower my head , to afraid to see the look on both Andrew’s and Alexander’s face. Though I know Andrew cares deeply for me , right now I feel like he is too upset and angry with me to come with me. I realized that I will be going to a foreign land after I am too be wed to King Alexander – I would have to leave as I would be Queen ruling at his side. How could I go with out any one that I am close to – obviously I could not take my father for he has a kingdom to run. Usually the mother’s of the brides family accomplish the bride in to the foreign land but then returns home after a few weeks , and from then on wards the mother leaves her land every few three months to see if her daughter

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.
