Kingdoms Unknown: The Kingdom of Life

Chapter 9: Nathan's Castle

I was tied to one of the pillars in Nathan's castle. My mouth was tied, too, and I was on my knees. I really can't stand this place. I say in my mind. The one who nabbed me was in right in front of me. Who is that? If he took me here, he must be acquainted with Nathan. The boy turned around. His eye was cloudy grey, the other was covered by his hair which was black. He wore a cloudy blue robe that covered his shoes. The sleeves were long, so he looked like he was wearing a dress. "Oh, hey." He said in a quick voice. He comes closer, and gently grabs my chin to turn my face side to side. "Wow, if I had any idea you'd be this hot, I would've captured you sooner."
"Knock it off." Nathan said as he came in from a hall on the left.
"Aww, but I'm really enjoying this."
Nathan narrows his eyes.
The boy backs up.
"Sorry about that. This is Prince Vincent of Airvelum(Air-veil-uhm)."
"Also known as the Kingdom of the Sky." Vincent winks.
"Hush."

Nathan took the clothe around my mouth off using his one arm. He wore a black and purple coat that splits at the bottom, and has black fur at the top; black pants; and shoes(his normal outfit). He made hair was blonde again, but still kept the purple streak. "So you changed your hair back." I said.
"Oh, you noticed. I figured I should have more color in my life, since I'm surrounded in darkness." He leans towards me. "Besides that, you know why I had you brought here?"
"Hmm, let me guess. Why would you bring me here? I don't know maybe because...you're obsessed with me!" I yell in his ear. "It doesn't matter though. You know there coming for me."
After rubbing his ear, he smirked. "Oh, I'm counting on it."

He knelt in front of me. "Merlinda, there are so many reasons to why I want to kill you. My arm, my heart, but the main reason is because you're an obstacle as long as you live."
"Then, why haven't you done it yet?" I asked irritatedly.
"Is that really a question? We have so much history together. You have my heart, strongly."
"Your poetic words won't change what you did to-"
He covers my mouth. "Shh, that's in the past now."

A guard approaches the room with a box. "Sir." He says.
"What." Nathan responds annoyed.
"The...outfit is...ready." The guard says shakily.
Nathan gets up. "Let me see." He checks the box, and smiles. "Great, these will do nicely." He turns at me. "You want to see your new outfit."
"My what?" I said, completely shocked.
"Well, I'll wait until we're done."
"Done with what?"
He smirked. "You remember Queen Nava, right?"

Queen Nava teleported into the room. "The traps are set, my Prince." She said.
"Great." Nathan responded.
She turned at me, and gave a disgusted look.
"She isn't here to kill you this time, I made sure if that. She's here to give you a...change of mind."
"Wait, what do you-" Vincent put the clothe back around my mouth.
"I want to tell you this won't hurt, but then I'd be lying, and that's not good in a relationship." He smirks.
Queen Nava touches my forehead, then everything goes black. My screams can be heard in the darkness.
