21// Misunderstood

{Bruce}
I had to wake up everyday, trying to convince myself that it was just a kiss.

A kiss I loved.

Every night it was the same dream, and everyday it was the same hallucination.

She refused to leave my head and fuck it was driving me mad.

I lied, I hadn't forgotten it, I hadn't gotten over it and it wasn't just a small kiss.

But I wasn't going to allow the human take over my thoughts. I mean, I don't even know her damn name.

It was early in the morning and I couldn't sleep so I decided to go out for a stroll around the castle.

About five am.

I wouldn't wake up so early but I just couldn't sleep so why doesn't the day just begin?

My bath was short and I threw on a blue shirt and black joggers. Sometimes I wonder why my hoodies and joggers never run out.

I tossed my palms on and went down stairs.

The halls were dark and empty, everyone was probably asleep.. except me of course.

I thought about going to get some hot water but decided against it. I strolled out of the castle and moved towards one of my cars.

Maybe if I sit in there a song can take me away. Or maybe I could drive down to Jim's.

"Oh fuck I can't take it anymore," what sounded like a moan rang in my ears.

A man, so it sounded. It was coming from behind the castle. Out of curiosity, I followed the sound as quietly as possible.

I finally saw them. Three of them. They were guards in the castle, although they weren't in their uniforms yet.

They were peeping into a small shelter. What I assume was a bathroom.

"Fuck," another said, palming his erection. "We should go in there."

How the fuck is the person bathing not hearing them?

"I don't think we should. If someone catches us we'll be killed."

"But I don't think I can hold this anymore, she's so fucking hot."

"No. No one will kill us," the one with longer hair said. "She won't say anything. And even if she does, no one will listen to her. It's our word against hers, and she's a human."

Human. Fuck. They're talking about her. Is she bathing in there?

Knowing it was her they were talking about like that made me mad, beyond mad, furious.

"Yes, you're right. We can get away. Let's go in. Watching her bathe is too tempting."

"Your parents taught you that raping a person is a crime didn't they?" I finally spoke causing them to turn back.

"Your highness," the men who were obviously surprised to see the prince up so early, tried to explain themselves. "We were just-"

I raised my hand to stop them from speaking. "I didn't ask what you were doing. I'm not deaf. I heard you."

"We can explain-"

"Go ahead, tell me why you were about to go into a woman's bathroom," I was already loosing my patience.

"No it isn't like that we-"

"The three of you should get packing. Before the sun rises you should be gone."

"Please your highness, don't do this to us. Who will feed our familes?" the long haired one moved closer.

"You should have thought about that before plotting rape. Get out of this castle and don't return."

I turned to leave but he grabbed my arm. I immediately turned around and slammed my fist into his face.

"I don't like being touched," I informed the man now lying on the floor.

"Get him out of here," I said through my teeth as the men took him away, leaving me to hear the sound of water splashing.

How is she still bathing? Could she not hear what was going on? She has to be deaf.

I thought, walking over to the shelter. I had to get her out of there.

I pulled the door open, hearing her scream.

{Marian}
The door was pulled open and I immediately screamed, covering my body.

The prince.

Of course.

A part of me was furious, very furious and a bit afraid, while the other part of me liked this.

What's he doing here? Why awake so early? And why is he not staring at my body?

He grabbed my arm and pulled me out as I reached for my towel to cover my nudity.

I clumsily wrapped the towel around my wet body. Water was still dripping from my hair.

"Excuse you!" I shouted, pulling my arm out of his hand.

He looked at me, unaffected by my inconvenience.

"You can't just barge in here and start taking me to god knows where. Who do you think you are?"

"You should stop bathing here," is all he says.

"Excuse you. Just because I kissed you once doesn't mean you have the right to come in here and look at me your highness!" I shouted right in his face. I could feel blood rush up to my cheeks.

"Don't flatter yourself. You should know that I have seen almost half the women in this kingdom. I have no reason to look at you."

His words made me boil in anger. "How dare you-"

"Some men were watching you bathe, and they planned to come in here and take you by force," my face calmed at his words and my heaving chest slowed down. "I had to chase them away and get you out of here before someone else came."

"Oh,"

Now I felt like a fool. An awkward fool.

"You're welcome." He says and walks away.

Great.

But I have other things to worry about. It's the time of the month and I don't know what to do.

Usually, in the slave market, Riscow had a friend-a female friend- who was decent enough to give me some sanitary towels. But I think I'm all out.

Even if there was any left, the prince had gone and destroyed my stuff so it's gone.

The one thing he didn't buy.

I have nothing to wear and no one to ask. The princess runs across my mind but I decide against it.

Dinzels probably don't even have periods.
