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
___________________________________________________________________________ Rosemary’s Pov The night rolls in as slowly as the night before – I pull the curtain aside staring at the the beautiful night sky. 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
___________________________________________________________________________ Rosemary’s Pov I know I am dreaming – it is not hard to figure that out. 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. I sat there admiring the stars like I always do , hoping to see the moon…I was smiling from ear to ear , until I
___________________________________________________________________________ Rosemary’s Pov I sit up straight , surprised by the announcement that Alexander had given me. 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. I begin to neaten my self for every one in the kingdom is waiting for my arrival. I start my tucking the stray hair behind my ears – I feel around my head looking for some thing so that I can clip my hair with. Only when I feel nothing , I recall that I had thrown my c
___________________________________________________________________________ Rosemary’s Pov We near the castle – my nerves get the best of me. I feel a sudden urge to run away – run far away and hide from every one. I know that I seem like a coward , but I did not know I would feel this nervous about entering a new land – to stay in a new castle. I sit up straighter , trying to show that I am confident but deep down I know I am not. I hear the trumpets get louder and louder as we approach the castle. The more I hear it , the more my heart beats in fear and nervousness. I begin to hear the cheers of the crowd – their cheers are soothing as I realize that by their cheers , they are not as fearful as I thought they would be. I feel a cool breeze blow by me – the curtains in the carriage fly from their original places . I take this chance to look at the crowd , to see if they are as horrifying as I imagined them to be. When I mov
Rosemary’s PovHow can I describe it to you?...It was as if my entire being was being hugged by some one you trust with all your heart and all your soul. It felt strange to have such a feeling – this feeling was quite frightening to feel. It was strange to feel this type of intimacy for some one after just glancing at them. It is not like I have known him for years , I do not even know his name yet the peace he brings me is intoxicating and some thing I cuddle closer to.“I see you approve of my kingdom already…” I hear Alexander speak to me , a chuckle follows. I am so lost in the mysterious boy’s dreamy eyes , I do not notice that I have a smile spread across my face – a smile that I did not fake , for once , but a genuine smile of pure happiness and joy.“Huh?!” I voice out my confusion , only to realize what my reaction looks like to King Alexander. To him , I look pleased and I am joyfu
Rosemary’s PovI take another moment to fully take in my surroundings , with out having the overwhelming feeling that Alexander is constantly looking at my face for approval that I love this room. Do not get the wrong idea – I simply love this room however , I am not very keen on sharing it with some one I am very terrified off. Especially , after watching what he will go through just to have me by his side – my heart aches thinking of my bunny that he had mutilated as a warning of his power and his madness.I walk over to the balcony , taking a deep breath in – breathing in few seconds of freedom and peace. The trees slightly rustle to the left of them , my hair following copying their movements as the cool breeze blows from the opposite direction. I let my tensed muscle relax under the winds gentle touch – my heavy heart seems to be unburdened for a while as the burdens are blown away. I shut my eyes , relishing in
Rosemary’s Pov“Do you want my help?” he whispers into my ear , making the hairs on my skin stand. I feel his lips curl up into a mischievous smile – clearly my reaction to his closeness is some thing he approves of. I avoid any eye contact with him , but I feel his passionate gaze on my on me.“Hmmm? Do you need help into or out of this dress , little one?” He whispers , this time sounding more intimate than the last. I feel my face flush with embarrassment and discomfort , just by hearing him speak this way to me. We were not married , yet he so openly speaks in this manner with me – it scares me. I keep quiet , hoping that he will take my silence as a dismissal – however , I was very wrong.“ You better answer me little one…or I will just decide for myself…” he lets out a dark chuckle afterwards , when I snap my eyes up at him. He lets his eyes travel down to my chest ,
TW warning!!! - Violence and bloodRosemary’s PovThrough the open door frame , I see Alexander dragging a kicking , screaming and wailing Judy. I gasp and place my hand over my mouth , shocked and terrified of the scene that is occurring in front of me. He drags her closer and closer to me – I watch as a trail of her blood , that oozes out of the glass piercings on her feet and hands , that is left behind.“ STOP!! Baby! Stop!” I hear these words blare from her mouth. I watch him emotionlessly fists her hair tighter dragging her closer and closer to me. Each breathe that I breath , the air is filled with terror and blood – the smell is intense and it makes my stomach turn.He makes his way to me , he is a few feet away from me now – I keep looking at his face and then to the back of poor Judy’s head. I watch the veins in his forearm swell as he is carrying her body weight o
