It's In The Stars ( Yandere Prince x Reader )

Chapter 15: Insanity

His eyes didn't open or even acknowledge you. You were afraid he was dead from the whippings he received and you feared for his life.

   ' What the hell happened to Jin!? '

You held his face in your hands and his skin was cold. You tapped his cheeks gently but there was no reaction. You let his head fall once more and you placed your hands on his neck to check his pulse. It was still alive and active. You sighed as you pulled your hands away, and when you did he opened his eyes, to reveal his deep blue orbs. They had no emotion in them, nothing at all.

   " Jin, can you talk? "

He just raised his head to look at you. He didn't reply or say anything. He just stared at you, with his mind completely blank.

   " Jin? You're scaring me now. Can you talk? Say anything? "

   "..."

   " Please? "

   " Y/n..." 

   " Yes! That's me. That's me. What happened to you? "

He raised his head more now figuring out the situation. He turned his head to see the door open and then his eyes went back to yours. An emotion sparked in his eyes. Fear and worry.

   " Y/n, you need to get out of here. "

   " No, tell me what happened to you? Why are you here? You were supposed to be on a mission and then you never came back. What the hell happened? "

   " Y/n, I'll explain once I get out, but please leave. I'm worried someone will come in here and see you. "

   " Tell me what happened. "

   " I...I failed his mission. "

   " What was it? "

   " He wanted us to go and raid a village far from here. When we got there I saw how poor the people were and I couldn't steal from them. Their eyes shone with fear and I couldn't do it. I didn't want to hurt them, and my members saw that. I know I'm an assassin but I only kill people when they threaten the crown or someone's life, not when they're being raided for money. They informed the king and he asked me why I didn't help the raid the village. I told him that there was no reason to, that he had enough wealth and the people were starving. I brought to him a proposition to help them but his guards took me away and they brought me here. "

   " Jin..."

   " I was supposed to be in here for a long time or until I learned my lesson. They said I had grown too soft so they needed to whip me into shape. "

   " So, you've been here the entire time? "

   " I have. What's going on out there? "

   " The king has been angry. He and his son had an argument that infuriated him and now everyone fears him. He'll kill anyone for spilling a drop of water on the carpet. "

   " He hasn't hurt you yet, has he? "

   " He has. He slapped me today for raising my voice at him. "

   " And it looks like your arm is bruised black and blue. "

   " It is. "

   " Y/n you need to go. They'll come back and I don't want them to see you in here or they'll do the same thing they're doing to me to you. Or they'll kill you. "

   " Jin..."

Tears were in your eyes and you leaned your head on his bare shoulder. You wanted him to hug you and hold you in a tight embrace, but he couldn't. He hated seeing you upset.

   " Y/n go. I heard the king talking earlier about letting me out soon. So, please don't worry about me okay? I'll see you when I get out of here. "

   " Okay...and Jin? "

   " Yes-"

He was silenced when you kissed his cheek. His face turned red along with yours. His eyes widened and they couldn't leave your form.

   " Make it out okay? "

   " Can I get a real kiss if I do? "

   " You'll have to see when you get out. "

   " Okay, that's not fair. You can't leave a guy hanging like that. Ha, see what I did there? Hanging? Because I'm hanging from these chains-"

   " You never change even in times like this. "

   " If it's to keep a pretty smile on your face then no, I won't change. "

Your smile slightly grew and you stood up burning out the candles in his cell. You gave him one final kiss on his forehead and burned out the rest of the candles. You shut the door and left the room, and ran away from that side of the castle. You ran all the way back to your room and settled yourself in bed, blowing out your candle. You dreamed that night of Jin being okay.

Jin had watched you go and heard your footsteps as he let his head fall limp once more. He closed his eyes and smiled at the thought of kissing you when he got out of the cell he was in. Beside his room was another cell. This cell was occupied too. By someone who was slowly becoming insane.

This hallway is known as Cell Hall to the king. If someone acted up in the palace and needed severe punishment he would bring them here. Jin was one of those people for disobeying his orders. Beside his cell, in another room, was Quinn. He was awake and looking out the window. He was staring out of the window hoping to catch a glimpse of the stars. 

He didn't have any luck. The stars would not show themselves to him through the clouds. His body was thin and frail. He wouldn't be able to stand in a fight because of how small he was. His pants didn't even seem to fit him anymore and his cheekbones were shown to the world. 

His back and front had millions of lashes. Even his arms had lashes. His father did not go easy on him, and he would scream at first, but eventually, he couldn't feel the whip anymore. He could only feel his heart still beating. Beating to see your name written in the stars with his. So, it led him to look out of the window every night, forgetting to sleep.

He was now obsessed with the idea of having you. You were the only thing in his mind and he was going crazy from being stuck in the cell without you there. His ribs could clearly be seen and his eyes had numbness to them and the only emotion he showed was insanity. His mind was forever gone and the new Quinn arose inside him. One that would carve his name into the stars with yours.

   " I'll make sure of it. We're meant to be. It's in the stars, I can see it at night when the clouds part. My name is right there beside yours my love. We'll be together, I promise. It's written in the stars so it has to be so. "

The new Quinn wanted you so bad. All he could do was imagine what he could do to you. What would happen if he was alone with you in a room and the door was locked. What would happen if he could touch you and you would allow him. The title of 'king' was just a word to him, but now he realized how important the name was for his plan. 

If he were king, then you wouldn't leave him for sure. There's no way you could. And you would love him until the stars burned out in the sky.
