She lay in a bed with white sheets draped over her naked body. Donovan had someone change her while he pored over the plans for the traitor's death. Acacia had also unknowingly muttered thanks to the unknown man in her dream-riddled sleep. Donovan waited outside the door, deep in his thoughts.

Was she awake yet?

Would she accept his plans for her?

Would she accept him?

"Sir, if I may, I've never seen you this animated since her fourteenth birthday. Suck it and go inside the damn room!"

Donovan chuckled and glanced at Ryder nervously. "You think so mate?" Ryder could see the sweat beading on the back of Donovan's neck and the short breaths he took so he nodded. Donovan needed this break from the prophecy and even though he had need to yet properly meet the girl, he was smitten with her beauty. It was only her choice to fall for him too. "Okay, I'm going in."

As Donovan entered the bedroom he admired the girl and her strength. He could only hope she would fall for him too. Just as he stroked her cheek tenderly she stirred and opened her eyes.

"I know you. How do I know you?"

Donovan stared into her frightened eyes and hushed her tenderly. "Hush Acacia, you're safe now."
