~ The Gentleman ~

"I've always had a sweet tooth too.." she looked over and saw a handsome man resting his head on his hand looking at her.

"Why don't you have some cake then?" She asked seeing that he hadn't taken a slice of cake.

"I don't want to get my leather gloves dirty and it's a pain putting them on." He said slightly grinning.

Naively she looked at her plate and fork and scooped some on her fork and put it infront of him.

"You can have mine I'm full anyways." She said waiting for him to eat the cake.

He looked at her with loving yet devilish eyes and chuckled before eating it.

She continued feeding him until she ran out of cake,
"How was it?" She asked.

He put his hand on top of her hand holding it.
"Wonderful I think I'd marry whoever requested such a delicious cake." He looked at her making her look down and blush.

She was the one who told the baker to make the cake like that.

"Come on let's go walk around" he got up still holding her by the hand.

He held onto her waist and arm as they made their way through the crowd.

Now that he was standing right against her she noticed how tall he was and he seemed the only one in the whole ballroom who smelled good, others reeked of liquor and sweat.

They reached a hallway and strolled through it.
Prim was still puzzled as to why this strange man decided to take a walk with her.

They turned the corner and reached the garden door and went out.

"Why are we going outside father will be angry with me if I leave my own ceremony-" she said confused and worried.

"Shh don't speak too loud the gardeners will hear" he whispered and suddenly hugged her from behind when they reached the forest leaning against a tree.

"W-what??" She looked over her shoulder confused when he suddenly put his hand over her mouth silencing her.

"Do you even know how much pain your family has caused mine, you ruined our kingdom and life and now I'm going to do anything to ruin yours" he whispered in her ear while she was struggling against his grip.

"Mmm!!" She tried to scream but her screams kept being silenced by his hand.

He took his hand off her mouth and turned her over so she was now leaning against the tree holding her wrists above her head.

"I don't understand! What do you want!?" She yelled at him confused not understanding anything he said.

He reached in his pocket and pulled out a knife and put it against her throat.

"You'll be mine soon, you'll see." He said as he traced the knife down her body keeping eye contact the whole time as she held her breath.

He let go of her wrists and grabbed a chunk of her hair pulling her face close to his while she hit his chest trying to loosen the grip he had on her hair.

Tears threatening to fall she looked at him angry upset and confused at the same time.

Finally after a few seconds he let go of her hair and walked off just like that as if nothing had happened leaving her there still confused.

She frowned and walked back to the ballroom where she saw her mother coming towards her.

"Sweetheart where were you?" She questioned holding both of her hands.

"I j-just went for a walk" she lied and smiled.
"Well come some people want to talk with you." She took her towards some people and the whole night she followed her mother just talking to people.

The ball had ended at last and she was back in her room laying on her bed about to go to sleep when she thought about the events that occurred today again.

She was angry and upset as to why he would do such a unnecessary thing. She did nothing to him, Infact she even fed him!

Shaking all the bad thoughts away she hugged her stuffed bunny and fell asleep
