The definition of a Princess

13

You woke up suddenly in the middle of the night. You had mistakenly fallen asleep with Kane..

His arms were wrapped around you tightly, and to say the very least, you were actually quite comfortable.

Damn it..

You tried to squeeze out of his muscular grip. Unfortunately, every time you loosened his arms, he would move closer as he cuddled you from behind.
Your face flushed hot as he pulled your body closer.
Suddenly, he grabbed your thigh while half asleep and whispered in your ear.

"Where are you going?" he mumbled in his sleepy voice with his eyes still shut.
"I need to use the bathroom.." you whispered back and he let you go without another word.

You stood for a moment above the bed as you watched him turn and go back to sleep. As soon as Kane was knocked out again, you quickly got dressed. 
You threw on your maroon dress which had a hood. You grabbed the key and envelope and stuffed it in you dress. Finally, you swiftly tied the strings of the corset before pulling the tied sheets from under your bed.
Just like last time, you tied them to the railing of your balcony and climbed down.
Your feet hit the grass and you let out a sigh of relief.

This was a lot eerier than last time.
You didn't even know the time as you crossed the stone bridge and looked up at the dark sky. The moon almost illuminated a sea blue color.
You lurked against the dark buildings as you searched for the Killer.

You knew he had to be in some alleyway, lurking for his next victim.
For some reason, you didn't think a person like him would sleep. Humans sleep.
Was a killer even human?

You peered around an alleyway corner but saw nothing yet again. You leaned against a wall as you sighed.
Suddenly there was a shriek of pain nearby.
It was a woman's voice and you quickly rushed to her aid. You came to another dark alleyway where you saw the woman dead and bleeding out on the ground.
You frowned and felt a presence behind you.

"Lenon.."
"How'd you know it was me?" he asked with a smile as he walked infront of you. He bent down and snatch a gold locket from around the woman's neck.
A surge of anger hit you, "Was killing her not enough? You must pickpocket the dead aswell?!"
"It's not like that.." he continued wiping the blood from his dagger, "I like to keep something each of the victims have so I can remember them"
"You're crazy!" you took a step back and he looked up at you a bit surprised.
"You think I'm crazy?"

Lenon walked closer and you forced yourself to stand in place. No matter how bad of a person he was, he was the only person who could help you.
He had a bit of blood on the collar of his black tuxedo.

What surprised you the most was that he wasn't wearing his mask, perhaps he wanted this person to know who killed them?

His black hair reached down to his shoulder as he smirked and leaned forward with a crazed look. Suddenly he pointed the knife to your neck, "You scared Princess?"
"No.. I'm not scared.."
He raised an eyebrow of doubt, "You sure? Because your eyes say otherwise.."
"I'm not scared of anything!" you told him sternly and he backed away shocked.
"Okay.. what do you need me to do?"
"I need you to take me to Glamelias home! Since she's your mother, you should know where right?" you asked a bit excited and he nodded skeptical.
"That's all?"
"That's all.."

"Then follow me"

...

Lenon brought you to a part of the kingdom that was busy with people despite how late it was. People were dancing in clothing that you didn't know was even considered clothing!
Lenon sat you down at an outside table and a woman came up to serve you both.

Your face flushed at her attire and you covered your head with your hood. Lenon smirked and ordered you both an alcoholic beverage.

"W-What the hell?!" you whispered yelled to him and he began to laugh.
"Are you uncomfortable Princess? I thought the purple dazzled uniform was stunning~"
"Why aren't we going to Glamelias place?!" you exclaimed.
"Calm down. We have all night. All I want is for you to go to the club with me, and then I'll take you.." he smiled and your eyes widened.
"What?! What the hell is a club?!"

Lenon began to laugh and the woman came back with your drinks. You thanked her still covering your face and she giggled.

"You see all these people? They are waiting in line to get into that building right there.. that building is the club" he informed taking a sip of his from drink.
You sighed annoyed, "Will you take me to her house after? We have to be quick, Kane doesn't know I'm gone"
"I was wondering what was taking you so long to sneak out, that's when I got bored. He's staying in your room?"
"Yes.." you sighed annoyed sipping your drink.
"I could kill him for you"

You paused at the offer and thought it over.

"No.."
The killer shrugged, "Your loss, by the way, the club isn't like those royal balls.."
You gave him a confused look as he laughed out loud.
"I mean for gods sake! I've never seen a Dj play ballroom music! All the fancy dancing was so elegant but so funny, it was amusing!" Lenon continued, "The club is a little more.. boonie per say"
"Boonie?" you asked and he took your hand as he chugged the rest of both your drinks.
"First we have to get you out these clothes.. god you stick out like a sore thumb!" he teased but you knew he was joking.
"You have on a tuxedo!"
"Touché"

...

He brought you to a shop and pulled out a wallet.

"Go pick out a pretty dress, I'll pay for it"
You looked at him disgusted, "Firstly, I don't need a person such as the likes of you buying MY clothing. Secondly, this hides my identity. People are going to recognize me without it"
Lenon let out a small laugh annoyed.
"I just assumed you didn't bring money, also we'll have to buy you a wig too"

"A wig?!"
