All Chapters of Book 2# - Carefully she had wished: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

___________________ Rosemary’s Pov “Hey little one…” Andy greets me – his warm affectionate voice fills the void space I lay in. Come to think of it , this place felt too lonely  to be by myself – maybe that is the reason why I did not come back to our cave after he had left , because it felt as if one of the key factors were missing. His sudden appearance fills me with the blissful peace we once had – this make me cheery. However , the fate I am destined for still makes me gloomy. I shake my head at him , but offer him a sad smile. He returns my gesture by offering me a smile back – his smile however was filled with hope and lots of affection and love. “I would say make some space for me…but I guess we both have outgrown this special place…” he says , humor laced in his voice. I giggle at his statement wondering how funny it would look if we both were trying to fit in here. I watch him intently , his eyes shine with unshed tear

___________________________________________________________________________ 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

  ___________________________________________________________________________ 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

  ___________________________________________________________________________ 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.

  ___________________________________________________________________________ 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
