A nightmare

CAGED TO THE MOON KING 

CHAPTER 2

Heaven.

After walking tirelessly for hours and fighting off wild animals and wolves that obstructed their journey, We settled at the peak of another pack.

It was a small town with a valley of flowers and few trees. The people there bowed respectfully as they saw the prince, while they paved the way for them.

The prince has instructed them to take a break after glancing at them and sensing how worked out I look.

We arrived at a large hut saturated with local french designs on the wall and a pot of fire standing at each side of the entrance.

"Is this your home?" I asked in utter disgust as Ilooked around and followed them inside.

"Are you mesmerized already?" I snort at his words.

"Athens' pack is far better, beautiful, and bigger than this shabby place you call home."

"But you appeared to be the weakest and most abused in the whole of Athens. You were more like trash and your presence was more like an abomination if I'm not wrong."

I swallowed dryly and his words pierced my heart. He was right so I just bit my lips and kept quiet.

"You're extremely annoying?" 

"The feeling is mutual Princess." 

I kept cursing with disgust when his deep voice ran through the room.

"Get her something to eat, she's the weakest amongst us. I doubt she will survive without food for the next three days before reaching The Moon Pack." 

He said not to break his gaze from the wall while his men bowed and left.

"Moon Pack? Is that the name of your pack?"

I asked curiously because I've heard of something like that before.

"Will you just keep quiet for a second!! It would save you a lot of strength." He yelled.

"Is it like the Moon in question or like a planet cause you seriously don't fit in such a place"

"Wait!!" He ordered and they halted.

"Seal her lips and bound her in shackles, I need peace." He said and I gasped at him.

"What sort of Prince bound his princess in shackles huh? Where are we going after here and where the hell is moon Pa…" I was dragged roughly to the ground.

"I'm seriously restraining myself from hurting you, I'm really out of control when it comes to blood. So don't fucking tempt me!"

My mouth was sealed with duct tape as I muffled incoherent words while the men left to get some food.

His men came back with the food a few minutes later but judging from how silent I had been, I seemed dead asleep.

"Leave her, when she wakes, she will eat."

He said but he was startled and he heard me struggle through the shackles and give out muffled breaths.

"That brat, untie her."

He commanded and I sighed in utter relief and dug into the meal.

"You should never tie a lady! Never, it's disrespectful and outrageous and you claim to be a Prince!!" I yelled at him, stuffing food in my mouth and staring daggers at the men who glared at me.

Can't nothing piss these people off? I just want to go!

"A lady should have manners instilled in her, it's so obvious you let your weak self get into such ridiculous behavior, As useless as your character!" He slammed and all the rage built up in me.

I kicked the food hard making it splash all over his face and attire and he cursed.

"Fuck you, Blind Prince!!" I yelled and his men couldn't just watch.

A heavy slap was sent across my face and I screamed.

"I would kill you before we're out of here!? Who the hell are you?" He thundered and I smirked.

I finally pissed him off.

I had been observing him in silence and wondered what type of a prince he is.

He looked distant in his world almost as if only his body was here but his spirit had gone off.

How can a beautiful Prince with godly features be blind?

His thick dark hair covered one side of his eyes while the other was exposed right beneath his lashes.

Those eyes…

They sparkled like crystal and his pointed nose was like a carved and well-designed sculpture.

Those sinful pink lips were plain and thin, seeking attention and I got so irritated that he was diverting my attention.

"I'm a nightmare. You don't want to cross paths with me if you don't release me and leave me alone." I threatened.

"Get me water, dammit!" He told his men who released me and rushed out.

His long robes were soiled and his beautiful face was a mess but I cared less.

"You should be grateful for two things, Princess. One, I'm blind.

Two, I need you.'

I gasped in horror.

"Who the hell needs a weak mate, which Prince does that?"

"You will be surprised at the things I do Princess. If I had possessed those traits I mentioned earlier, I would have taken a look at how your age looks and gouged your eyes out. I would have pieces of your lips so you won't have a single strength to even out your tongue to talk.

I would have made you more interesting than now, A refined weak useless piece of existence"

He said and I couldn't help the tears that sheen in my eyes.

His men came over and he washed his face with grace as if it was the first time he was doing that.

"Get her another food, I still need her alive for a lot of reasons."

"I lost my appetite, fuck off with your food."

"Go!" He told them and they left but not without binding me in those shackles again.

They came back and the atmosphere became less tense.

I looked around the small hut and noticed how neat it was.

A small bed lay neatly by the side of the window with a mini Persian rug in the middle giving it an aesthetic view.

There's a flower vase by the corners of the room and a big green candlelight attached to the wall in the middle of the room.

I sighed as sleep took over my eyelids after glancing at the stone king who sat on the floor gracefully and faced the wall without moving an inch.

*****

A wolf snared its ugly sharp teeth at me with bright eyes devouring.

I wanted to scream and run but I was bound with shackles and my mouth shut with tape.

It kept coming closer to me and my heart wished for nothing but freed from these shackles and tape.

As if I was granted answers to the wishes, the shackles on my wrists broke and flew out from my mouth causing me to wince with pain from the sharp contact of my skin.

Without warning I sprawled on my feet and took to my heels, running away from the wolf but the blind wolf took another direction and walked slowly to its circle.

I woke up from such a dreadful nightmare wondering what it meant.

It was pitch dark and quiet and the statue prince was still there in his position.

I stared down at my hands and gasped in total shock.

The shackles were broken and the tape was right there on the ground!

What the fuck is this?

Am I hallucinating or what? Was I connected to my dream? Was this a message that I should flee?

Myriad thoughts flooded through me like a storm and I sprang to my feet and removed the shackle carefully knowing that that stature might not be blind.

His men were fast asleep and I took that advantage and took to my heels, running through the strange land as far as I could.
