They Called Them Kings (One Direction)

Chapter One

Sixty years ago a group of five couples gathered together and started a single tradition. They started to make the tradition grow and grow and spread from villages to towns, and eventually to the whole country.

The tradition was said to be that each king is to choose a young beautiful virgin woman under the age of 18 to be his own. She is to obey the king and to not disrespect him, or any of the other kings, or she was to be punished. After the picking of the woman you are to inspect her, and to watch her. If she was in the kings liking they were to print her. Printing was done with a 400° machine, that was to burn the initials of the king into her wrist. This was done to show who she belonged to, and who owned her.

If a king chooses that he doesn't want the woman anymore he is to destroy her by death. This is the number one most important rule. No woman is to be released, or set free after she enters the kingdom. The king may then bring a new woman into the kingdom.

At the age of 45 the king is to pick a new woman of is chose. The king then must pregnant the woman until she conceives a male. The woman gets three tries to conceive a male, and if she does not accomplish this, she is to be destroyed. The new born girls are then to be taken away to be taken care of and trained to become servants in the kingdom. The male child is then able to take over the kings role at the age of 18.

"That's bullshit Annie and you know it," I laughed.

"No its not Emma." She said while putting the book back onto the shelf.

"Come on you really think all of that's true, I mean I know there's kings obviously, but to kill the woman whenever they don't want her anymore?" I said to her

"Have you ever seen a girl come out of that kingdom?" Annie asked.

"Well maybe the just keep them hostage or something." I laughed.

"It's not funny Emma!" She said overly loud.

"Shhh. And why do you care so much? There's like a million girls for them to choose, why us ?" I asked.

"Well there coming to town this Friday. They haven't been here in 16 years" She said loudly again.

"So? We just don't go where they go." I said.

"Whatever," she huffed in anger.

"Come on let's go get something to eat, and forget about this." I said.

Emma's P.O.V.

"Can I have the chicken alfredo please?" I asked the waiter.

She nodded and the took our menus, and headed back to the kitchen.

"So nice restaurant hey?" I laughed.

She smiled, but her smile quickly faded and her face turned white while she looked behind me.

"What?" I said while turning around.

"The Kings," she whispered.

"Shit." I said under my breath.

"Let's get out of here." She said.

We quickly grabbed out things and headed for the door. I didn't believe and if the things they did, but they did look scary and unpleasant.

Just when I though we had passed them with out them seeing, a large hand grabbed my arm.

"Hey!" I shouted while looking back at a tall curly hair man.

He leaned into me and whispered in my ear, "I'm afraid that you two will be coming with us."

My mind went blank when he said that. Annie was screaming and fighting against the guards as we were being taken out to the van. And I was to horrified to do anything.

They harshly threw Annie into the van, and just as they were about to do the same with me, I quickly turned around out of the guards hands, and kicked him in the groin. He whined in pain and fell to the ground.

But I was instantly pushed against the van by the curly hair one. Who was large and scary.

"You haven't even been with us for 2 minutes and your already acting like this?" He asked while pushing on me harder.

"Let us go!" I shouted.

"That isn't how this works darling." He said while pushing on me with all his strength.

"Stop please." I winced in pain.

He laughed at my pain, "I suggest you not act like this anymore, or there will be a lot more of this." He said while pushing against me once more. "Do you understand?"

I nodded.

"Didn't quite catch that?" A brown haired man said from behind the curly haired one.

I looked at him, wondering if he was a kings as well.

Just then the curly one slammed me against the van. "Answer me."

"Yes!" I screamed in pain.

I was then thrown into the van harshly, and the door was slammed shut.

There was no light, and the engine of the van was all you could hear.

The nightmare of the story Annie was reading to me was all coming true, and the scariest part, was that it was happening to us....
