Katherine Gulin

Max picked me up bridal style and he turned demon. He bursted into the air and flew as fast as he could back home. "Come on! It's no longer safe!" He mumbled. I kept looking down, thank god my horse was under us. We made it to the doors of the castle and locked them as we ran in.

"Who was that?!" I screamed. He shushed me and held me close. "Promise me you will stay within the kingdom walls..." He cried, and tears fell on my head like rain. I looked up at him. "Why? Who was the man?" I questioned. He held onto my hands and bowed his head.

"It's too dangerous... He is a dangerous man.. He can't get through the walls.. He doesn't like how open kingdoms are... Just please.. Don't leave Kingdom grounds.. I want you to be safe.." I grew angry. Really? Who does he think I am?! I was the one who saved him from the cruelest tyrant around! When I was 7! I'm a lot stronger now so I can take care of myself! I slapped him across the face hard with anger which made him fall onto his side. He looked up at me with fear.

"I can handle myself.. I'm not weak.. Remember who saved you when she didn't need too.. I could have watched him beat and burn you till you died.. But I saved ur ass when I was SEVEN! I am obviously stronger now.. I killed a stronger king than your father was with ease! Don't. You. Dare... Underestimate me again..." I glared at him Max I turned around and walked off. He scrambled up and ran off down stairs.. What was he up too now? I walked into my room and laid on my bed, staring at the ceiling.
Max then walked in staring at the ground as he walked in and had a whip in his hand. I instantly sat up in fear as he walked up to me. He knelt before me and held out the whip. He wanted me to take it.

"Max! Are you crazy?! I'm not taking it!" I said crossing my arms. A tear ran down his face as he gulped. "Please.. I am s-such a fool.. I deserve this.. To b-be punished for angering you.." I looked away and turned my back to him. "NO! I refuse! I'm not doing this!" I yell. He walked up to the edge of my bed and thrusted the whip into my hands.

"MAX!" I scream to the top of my lungs and I kicked his bare chest. He flew across the room and landed with a thud. I throw the whip to the side and I walk up to him. I placed my foot on his chest to where he couldn't move. "What has gotten into you? Does it have to do with the man?" I asked with concern. He gulped and took heavy breaths. He just looked at the ceiling. I pick him up and I help him sit on the edge of my bed. I sit next to him and I wrapped his arms around me.

"Wh-what's wrong? Your worrying me.. Is everything alright.. Tell me please... That's an order..." I said in the calmest voice I could get. I was worried about him.. I bet it HAS to do with the man..
