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 “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

___________________________________________________________________________ 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
