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

___________________________________________________________________________ Rosemary’s Pov I internally smile a sneaky one – knowing full well that he has no choice but to do what I ask of him. “Andrew is to come with me…” I blurt out. 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

___________________________________________________________________________ Andrew’s Pov It is now dusk – King Alexander’s carriage and his soldiers await for the princess and I to make our appearance at the front of the castle. I stand at the stair case patiently awaiting for the princess to make her descend from her room. I am lost in thought until I see the King enter the hallway and make his way to me. I examine him and my heart breaks as I see the sadness and loss that is evident in his eyes. When he nears me I bow my head in respect and in pity – however , he sees it as a sign of respect rather than a sorry excuse to show sympathy. “Andrew…” the king calls my name – I thought he was going to go upstairs to see the princess but he stops in front of me with destress in his eyes. I lift my head from it’s small bow and I make eye contact with the king – awaiting for him to tell me what it is he wants to tell me.

___________________________________________________________________________ Rosemary’s Pov I hear the guards of my castle , sadly blow me a farewell with their trumpets. I peek my head out through the curtains in this beautiful and comfortable carriage , to see a group of the people who took care of me wave me off. I saw the women excessively cry at my departure ; their tears wiped away by a white cloth that dries their sorrowful tears. The men look towards the carriage with a stone like look , but their eyes show much sorrow. I watch as my father wipes away a tear or two that fall from his eyes – however , once the carriage passes the castle gates , he turns around and walks away. With that little action , I knew I was in uncharted territory – I knew that I now had no one to lean on except Andrew. Andrew was not permitted to sit with me in the carriage , even though I really wished he could. Due to our difference in s

___________________________________________________________________________ Andrew’s POV We began our journey to our new home – well our temporary home. However , with the plan my father so aggressively shoved my way ; not even considering the risks that it may have. Did he even consider the princess’s safety? Sure , he wants to save her but how sure is he that Alexander will not hesitate to kill her if necessary. Did he consider the lives of our soldiers? Sure , they may have the upper hand due to ambushing Alexanders troop – but what my father fails to realize is that Alexander has always been one step a head of us this whole time. There has to be some sort of way , some sort of source he has that is telling him every thing he wants to know about what we doing or what are our plans. I feel the sun harshly shine down on us – our foreheads leak with dirty sweat. The leather that I sit on , burns me through my clothes.

___________________________________________________________________________ Andrew’s Pov My mind curious about the ways of the King – not my King , but King Alexander. I wonder if he has changed his mind about war or the princess – I wonder if in the space of a few hours , if he has changed his mind about ever being involved with us. How ever , I know deep down that can not be true. A man like him could never change , especially if he is good at who he is and what he does. I slowly guide my horse to the right , following his directions. Is he taking her back home? I wondered as he took the road that was leading us back to the castle – how ever , some thing about it all just did not make any sense. Why put us through all of this trouble? Why put the princess in such trauma , only to leave her back home? It just did not make any sense. “Take this map…When you reach

The stars beautifully twinkle , they look like little dew drops that lay on a flower petal in the mornings – how ever , they twinkle away. I see them twinkle like the night before , the night before that and the night before that. It has been three days and three nights since Andrew and I have left our home – our palace. It has been three long , exhausting day and three long . extremely hot and uncomfortable nights. How ever , I try not to complain much because I know that I have the easy while every one else is suffering outside. I look through my window and my eyes lands on a dying fire – the soldiers have burnt the fire to ensure that every one has had a cooked meal. I watch all the soldier’s loudly snoring as they are hu

I know that I am dreaming be cause in my dream I am sitting on my old bed. Oh lord , only know do I realize how much I miss it – after spending sleepless nights on this carriage seat. Though , I must admit I am asleep right now but guaranteed that I only fell a sleep a few hours ago – If I were to wake up this second , it would still be night out. So I decide to stay a sleep , pass my time with this dream. Back to my dream – I find my self sitting on my old bed. I look to the glass stained doors , and notice that the stars are out just like they were before I had slept. How ever , these ones seemed to have a home and comfortable feel to them.

How could we be there already – well , we did just travel for a while. I am thankful that this travelling is over , but I dread that it is not home that we are slowly approaching. It is sadly my new home – my new hell or heaven. How ever , I doubt that it would be heaven – it lacks some thing but I just do not know what. May be…it is love? May be…it was my family , or that safety I used to feel. Who knows what a waits me here – who knows what I will have to face here.

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

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.

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.
