"Let me go! Put me down!" Sophia struggles to break free from her captives; whatever they used to knock her out wore off on their way to their location. She has been making a commotion all this time, and they are close to losing it.

"Will you just shut up! We all know we won't let you go, and you won't be able to beat us, so just save your energy." Curtis says as he walks beside his big group mate carrying the Princess.

"You won't get away with this! They will come for me. So if you want to live, you better drop me off here." she warns, she did stop struggling as she saw he had a point, but it didn't mean she would let their ears rest.

"Sure, let them try to track us. You haven't met our Captain; he isn't someone you want to mess with. He definitely isn't stupid enough to be caught by your people." Curtis laughs and tries his best to ignore the rest of her threats.

All the way to God knows where Sophia was trying to locate herself, trying to see where she had been taken and if there was anything she could recognize.

She needs to find a way to help her team track her and find her, she knows Tyler will be able to track her, but he needs something to start with.

However, things seem hopeless, especially with her hands tied behind her back.

A couple of hours later, the thickness of the forest was getting thicker, and they seemed to be walking further into it; then, she started to hear voices and conversations.

They arrived at their location.

The voices got louder, and she seemed the center of the conversation, everyone saw them coming, and they had been waiting for them. Suddenly she was thrown to the ground; everyone found it funny while she was in pain.

Then they became quiet. "Sir! We succeeded." Curtis says proudly.

Sophia turns around to be faced with a large body. "Well, well, well. Welcome, Princess." he smirked, but the look she saw in his eyes disgusted her.

She knew he was bad news.

"Let me go. Any time now, my family and their soldiers will be here, and you will all pay for this." she tries again.

"Oh? Is your brother also coming? I've been dying to meet him. Slicing him to pieces should feel amazing!" he gets his face closer to hers; she felt a shiver go down her spine. She did not need to imagine that.

One thing she also didn't need was the smell she got a sniff of when he got closer. She swore she could have passed out from it. His looks showed that hygiene was not one of his daily thoughts.

"My brother will catch you before you can even touch a single hair on his head! You won't get away with this!" her reply receives a colossal laugh from him and everyone around them.

"We will see about that." he gets down on one knee and holds her face up from her chin, making them lock eyes. "You are really a beauty. I can almost taste you just by looking at you." he licks his lips.

Sophia whips her head away from his grip and glares up at him. "Get your hands off me! You're disgusting."

He grabs her face again, this time firmer, and brings his closer. "You're feisty! I like that about a girl. You know what I love the most?" he asks her without expecting an answer. "I love to break down girls who put up a fight. Watch the hope in their eyes fade till they completely give in to me." he licks her cheek.
