THRONE

Shadow 2

    She looks so innocent when she sleeps. She just fell asleep in my arms, trusting me to keep her safe.
    I carry her up to my room and lay her on my bed. I pull off the shoes I brought to her, and grab one of my shirts to put on her. I pull her dress off, and slip my shirt over her head.
    I kiss her forehead and walk out of my chamber making sure to lock the door behind me.
    I walk back into the ball, and get a glass of champagne. I sit down on my throne, finally able to relax, and think about Madelaine.
    She, a maid, kissed me. It was very well enjoyed, but someone like me shouldn't be with a maid.
    But, there was no going back now. I had definitely fallen into her trap.
    Suddenly, I hear screams. The whole ballroom starts to panic. Where was it coming from? More screams, "Madelaine." I whisper to myself remembering she is locked inside my chamber.
    My hands light on fire as I run up the stairs getting to her as fast as I can. My feet won't go fast enough.
   I barge into my room to see Madelaine screaming and kicking as 4 grown men force her out of my window, tied up.
    "Put her down." I warn holding my hands up in defense.
    Suddenly, they jump. They land on pillows of their truck, and speed off into the woods of our castle. I yell orders at some guards who aren't moving fast enough. They are already long gone. With Madelaine. Shit. Shit. Shit.
    My father won't want to do anything since losing one maid isn't a problem. But to me, she's important now. They want me to go there alone. Where is there?
