Slayer turned Saviour

Not allowed......in my dreams!!

She was running in the woods.
She didn't know who she was running from but all she knew that she had to, otherwise she would get caught.
She had reached to the edge of mountain and before she knew she slipped on the edge.
This was it. She thought
But the next moment someone grabbed her hand and pulled her back.
That someone had his face covered.
She moved her hand towards his face and when she saw who he was,
"What are you doing here prince?"
"Saving you, of course"
He then grabbed her neck gently and pulled her towards him smirkingly,
"Because after that I am going to lock you up, my lady"
He was laughing like a beast from the stories her baba told her about
"No...."she screamed and fell down from the bed

She opened her eyes and looked around.
She was still in the room she was in last night.
Sigh!!!!

"It was all a dream ,more of a nightmare to be honest"she told herself.

But what was prince doing there? Anyways he was looking so good, her inner voice said.

"Just stop such thoughts Imlie. There was nothing good about his laugh. It was like a beast"she argued back to herself.

Because you imagined that way. Don't tell me that you didn't feel a thing when he pulled you....

"Stop.."she yelled at herself.

At that moment, Geeta came running inside and saw that Imlie was sitting down on the ground.

"Are you feeling better, beta? I heard your scream "she voiced out her concern.

Imlie looked at her.
She was the same lady who had changed her clothes.
She wasn't in her senses yesterday but now that she took a proper look she looked like a kind middle aged lady.

"I am better now, Geeta Maiya and I am grateful to you for taking care of me last night ."

Geeta smiled at her and said, " You know apart from Prince Aryan, you are the first one to call me Maiya"

Imlie immediately corrected herself and said, "I am sorry if that came across as a rude behaviour. I just felt like it"

" Not at all beta. As a matter of fact, I love it"
She smiled at that.

" Now get up. Let's get you changed. Everyone is waiting for you for the breakfast."

"Ahhhhh! I am late, aren't I? It's the royal palace. There must be rules and......"she panicked .

"Do not worry too much about it. I have arranged your clothes and everything. I am going to the prince quarters as he needs my help. I will send someone to help you show the way to the dining hall."

"Thank you so much for everything Geeta Maiya ."

After a while when she was done getting all dressed up, she walked out of the room.
Now the thing was, she was walking for some time now but still she didn't reach the dining area.

"Why do they have to build such a big palace for few people?" she thought.

It wasn't like she had only lived in her house till now.
She had been through so many villages and forests when her Baba didn't know ofcourse.
See the fact was she loved visiting new places.
And she always remembered her routes and directions but this palace...it had so many complicated routes just like his...HIS EYES.
There was just something about him that...

"Stop Imlie...you should have a halt at this weird thought process now."She chided at herself for thinking about him so much when she just met him a day ago
Do not think about it.
Do not think about it.
