"the king has requested you to join him in the throne room" maria the maid they assigned to my room tells me.
"why" i ask her with my brows scrunched together.
"hes probably going to make the announcement" she then adds "you know...about the wedding"
I take a deep breath in " i though everyone already knew"
"no they dont but-
They were interrupted by a knock on the door.
"whos that?" i ask
Maria glances to me then to the door and starts walking towards it. As she opens it she find a little gift box on the floor. "it seems to be a gift.....for you my lady". She hands me the box with my name on it. I open it cautiously and inside is a little note:
No matter what you say...
No matter what you do...
I am lurking in the shadows...
And im coming to find you...
"who sent this" i whisper quietly
"why....what does it say"
Maria slips the note out my hand and reads it before laying her hand on my shoulder "dont worry my lady is probably just some kids messing around"
"yes...probably" i give her a reassuring smile.
"now hurry my lady, you must get dressed we cant keep the king waiting"

A while later im standing right in front of the throne room, ready to go in. I have crimson red dress which goes across my shoulders. The loose curls of my half pinned up black hair covering my shoulders. The doors open and i can see hundred of faces staring right at me whispering to each other. As i start to walk down towards the king they all start to bow one after the other almost like a wave. When i finally reach the king, he is standing beside two men who seem to be around my age.
King Draco is the first to speak "Everlyn i would like you to meet my two sons. Prince Robert" he jesters to the slightly shorter one who immediately takes my hand and plants a small soft kiss on it "and Prince Jaime". My head turns to the auburn haired boy whos deep brown eyes where focused into mine "its very nice to meet you my lady" he says with a deep voice and a forced smile.
I opened my mouth to speak but no sound comes out so instead i smile and nod.

After an hour has passed, im sitting next to the king while everyone is talking and laughing. My breath begins to quickens at the thought of being this mans wife. My head begins to ache and and i feel like i cannot breathe. I look around, its as if im invisible, nobody notices the panick attack im having. I stand up and make my way to the garden. I taken in a deep breath and release. I look up at the night sky and close my eyes. My hands clutching the necklace my mother gave me so hard a vile pain shoots down my wrists from my hand. I ignore tge pain and begin to whisper please...please someone help me get through this......please im not-

Before i can finish my sentence i hear a growl.

I open my eyes slowly.

And then i saw it standing right in front of me. Help
