My thoughts were excruciating.

Why do I find the prince handsome?

"Well aren't you a pretty one? Wouldn't want anything to happen to you, would you?" He stepped closer to me.

I straightened my posture and held my breath, which caused my restraints to clang against each other.

"Now bow." He demanded.

His face scrunched in anger when he realized I wouldn't budge.

I kept my eyes on him, refusing to break eye contact.

"GUARDS!" The prince's voice echoed throughout the room.

The guards rushed in to be of service.

"Set Daniel Reeves execution for sunset."

My eyes widen in shock, as did the guards.

"Y-your majesty, the king request–" The guard stuttered.

"DO I CARE WHAT THE KING THINKS?! Do as I say." He snarled and grabbed my shackles, dragging me to the dungeons.

"Say your goodbyes." The prince smirked and threw me into the cage that contained Daniel.

The prince left, however not before looking at me with devilish eyes.

My insides churned, and not in a bad way.

How could my thoughts and body betray me? How could they betray Daniel?

How could I think of him as more than our captor?
