From Prisoner To Princess [amazon edition]

Chapter 53

Chapter 53

Pouting by my cake, I watch as Demitrias talks to all those girls that surround him, my cousin being one of them. My mother just announced that I am to marry him before my fifth birthday party began and I am not happy. Not once has he wished me a happy birthday or come my way.

The girls are called away and finally he is alone. I do my best to march towards him, wanting to talk to my friend and see why he is being so mean to me.

"Allisara get out of my way." He sighs out, annoyed by me.

"No." I cross my arms over my chest and stomp my foot. He is my fiancé now; he needs to talk to me.

"Move or I will make you." He grounds out, glaring at me.

"Why are you being so mean to me?" I nearly shout, tears filling my eyes.

"Because I don't like you. You're just a dumb girl I have to marry." With that he pushes me to the side, nearly knocking me onto the ground. A pair of arms catch me and the scent of pine fills my nose. Before I can say anything to the person, he gently pulls me into a quiet corner and I find myself crying into his shoulder.

"Are you okay Allisara?" The boyish voice asks, patting my back. I shake my head no, hearing him sigh.

"Wanna tell me what's wrong?" His voice is slow and caring, opposite on how Demitrias treated me. Why couldn't my parents betroth me to him?

"Demi called me a dumb girl who he has to marry. That he doesn't like me." I whimper out, hating that I have to be stuck with such a mean person.

"You're not dumb, and Demitrias only wants to be King. But you can break the engagement when you are older." The voice reasons with me and I look up. The boy smiles at me, his emerald eyes twinkling in the light as he wipes away my tears.

"Anyone would be happy to marry some one as smart as you." He reassures me, pulling me into his arms once again.

"I wish it was you." I admit, my fist clenching his shirt. But he is a gardener's son and a Knight in training. My parents wouldn't allow it.

"Me too Allisara. Me too." My eyes shut as his voice fades away and I feel my little body falling

I am crying again, my wrists sore from being tied in front of me. A man has me thrown over his shoulder, handling me the way the cooks do to a sack of potatoes.

"Let me go." I sniffle, my little voice filled with terror as I try to kick my feet out, but they too are tied together. The last thing I remembered was arguing with my cousin Lillith. How she and her friends laughed and pulled me away from the adults view towards the open door that leads to the garden. They told me they were going to tell me a secret about Demitrias, but as soon as we were just in front of the door, Lillith pushed me outside, her friends laughing as they shut and lock the door. I knocked onto the glass, screaming for help in the cold May rain. That's when the men grabbed me, chuckling about how easy kidnapping me had been.

"Sorry Princess but our boss has ordered us to keep you with us." The man laughs out and I get a full view of his rotten teeth.

"You're going to make us very rich whether you live or die." His friend states right away, the men laughing at this. They became too preoccupied talking about how they will spend their riches and I realize I am still wearing the bead necklace Sky gave to me. I smile, carefully pulling the necklace over my head. Pretending to struggle. I break the necklace and slowly drop a bead after counting to one hundred. I know Sky will find me; he always does. Even when we are training together he always finds me. I keep quiet as the men carry me to where ever their hideout is, the beads beginning to run out. I am soaked from the rain, shivering I from being cold.
