Brynn's Wish (EDITING)

Twenty Two

That night, Lia ordered for an extra 20 security guards to protect each room for a while.

I was creeped out by this, because basically, there was a big scary dude in a yellow quarantine suit standing outside my door for the whole night. And there was another one out on my balcony. Honestly, I had to give these dudes some credit. They were literally nocturnal and they didn't move one but during the whole time I watched them.

I peered at the guard by the door from under my covers. He stood still, like a rock. I cocked my head around and I looked at the balcony door. That guard over there was still standing the way that the other was.

I turned my head back around and I shut my eyes, trying to sleep. But I felt the feeling that they were watching me. I pulled the covers over my head even more and I double checked every few minutes that the guards weren't looking at me.

I couldn't sleep at all that night. My eyes hurt and my head throbbed as I stood up from my bed the next morning. I dreadfully walked over to my closet and I shut the door behind me, so no one saw me changing my clothes. I ended up picking out a casual dress that was yellow and embroidered with gems and red velvet braided strands at the end of the hem. I stepped out of the closet to find that my bed was made and the shades on my windows were open. Lia or Iña must've come in when I was still in the closet.

I squeezed past the guard and I walked down the hall to Ty's room. But, except, I couldn't enter. The guard stationed at his door held up his hand and stopped me.

"Who're you?" He sneered. I looked up at him and I gave him a confused look.

"I'm princess Brynn." I said. The guard looked at me and I could tell that his eye was on my pink, fleshy and healing wounds from the second time I fell off Dopey.

"Some princess you are." The guard spat.

I gasped and I held my hand to my chest.

"That is no way to talk to someone who is royal!" I said with shock in my voice.

Ty opened his bedroom door.

"Dude, let her in. She's the Queen's daughter." Ty said as he grabbed my elbow and pulled me inside. I shut the door behind us and we walked over to his bed.

"Why up so early?" He asked me.

"I couldn't sleep knowing that two grown men were watching me sleep." I said.

Ty laughed.

"I didn't mind at all, actually. I slept better than ever knowing that I'm safe." He said, smiling.

I stared at him with shock.

"Better? You slept better? How can you sleep at all knowing that the whole kingdom is not protected right now! No one is reigning the town, or the castle, or the other land in this kingdom! We are going into turmoil if Mom isn't found! I'll be declared as queen, and I'm too young for that!" I screamed. Ty backed off and he looked at the floor.

His room was clean as well.

"Sorry." He said and he turned away from me a little.

"Oh come on." I began. "Don't be like that." I said, lightly punching his shoulder. Ty tried to hide his smirk and instead, he hurled at me and he tickled me. I screeched in pain.

"Stop!" I screamed. "I hate being tickled!" I said in between laughs.

Ty eventually stopped, leaving me breathless on the floor.

"Don't punch me." He said as he laughed.

I rolled my eyes and stood to my feet.

Suddenly, the guard burst through the door and he yelled at me and Ty to take cover.

"What's going on?" I asked. Then, there was a loud rumble sound and the ground shook. Ty grabbed hold of me and we tumbled into his closet.

"Invasion!" The guard screamed as he shut the closet door.

"Don't make a sound." he ordered and we heard him run out of the room and down the hall. Chaos was going on.

"Invasion?" I peeped.

Ty hugged me in his arms, and I laid my head on his shoulder. He kissed my head and he whispered 'we'll be okay' in my ear.

Then, we heard another loud boom and a crash and some gunshots.

I squeezed Ty closer to me, and we hugged each other tighter.

Then, we heard loud footsteps coming down the hall toward us. A few more crashes followed, and then, whoever was walking down the hall was now in Ty's room.

I almost stopped breathing, that's how quiet I was. I didn't feel Ty's breath on my neck anymore either.

And then, the closet door burst open, and a guard dressed in black yanked Ty and me out of the closet.

"Who the fuck are you?" Ty screamed.

The man slapped him across the face and I shrieked as I saw him fly across the floor. Blood dripped from his nose.

The man's arm was digging into my shoulder and I cried from the pain. Then, he yanked Ty up from the ground and he lead us all the way downstairs. As we passed a few rooms, we saw yellow guards shot to death on the ground. I gasped and I almost stopped walking, but the guard in black kicked me forward and I continued to walk next to Ty.

We entered the foyer, and I almost puked. My heart ached. Lia was on the floor. Dead.

Ty gasped as he pointed to the left. Iña was there, huddled over a desk, shot in the head.

Tears welled in my eyes.

What the hell was going on!?

More guards in yellow suits were scattered all over the place, dead.

The guard in black lead Ty and me outside and we were joined by a whole army of black dressed guards.

"Got a hold of the prince and princess, I see?" A different guard in black said as he approached Ty and me.

"Yep. And, the girl looks decent for you." The guard that captured us from the closet said.

The guard in front of us smirked and he grabbed me out of Ty's reach. Then, he threw me to the ground and kicked me. I cried out in pain as each blow came near the previous one.

Ty screamed out to me, yet I knew that the other guards were holding him back.

The guard who was kicking me stopped at one point, and then he did something that I knew would scar me for life.

He began assaulting me.
