The Unknown Sign

Chapter 3

///Chapter 3\\\

 Luna's POV

"Let go of me!" I scream as soon as the persons hands was away from my mouth. They ignored me and quickly closed the carriage door and with a jerky start we began to move. I could feel every bump and dip of the road and it made me feel sick.

The ride didn't take long but that could be because of the fact that I couldn't get my mind off of him. Whoever he was. He couldn't be the prince he just couldn't. Besides the prince would have called his guards for me speaking out against him but he hadn't so he couldn't have been. I kept licking my lip, enjoying his taste

"Let's go." A guard says after we stopped and I followed him out of the carriage and into a huge castle.

I didn't have time to marvel at its beauty before I was ushered into another small room where I was told to sit and left alone. I was surprised at the simple furniture being used in the room. I figured if they had the money why wouldn't they use it right. The turning of the doorknob snapped my attention and I stood up as I recognized the King walking into the room.

"Good evening Luna." The King says and I curtsy to him. I may not like them but I still have to be nice.

"Good evening you majesties." I say, noticing the prince with him, and straighten up. My eyes keep flicking to the prince because something about his seems familiar though I can't quite place it.

"You gave your mom quite a fright when they found you were missing." The King says motioning for me to sit as he takes a seat. I sit as well and look at the prince surprised when he continues to stand.. " I suppose you'd like to know why you're here."

"Very much so." I say politely. The act sickens me but I have no choice.

"Well Luna meet Tyler. Your fiancé." he says and I look to him shocked. He smiles mockingly back at me and I want to wipe the smile of his face.

"F..fiance?" I stutter. I don't usually stutter but this caught me so off guard I couldn't help it.

"Yes as in prearranged marriage and you have no choice and neither do I."The prince says shooting a look at his father who looks at him annoyed. A smile tugs at the corner of my lip and I have to bit it to keep it from exploding.

"Tyler we talked about this." The King says.

"No choice? None at all?" I ask, breaking the stare down between the King and the prince.

"None." The prince says. I resist the urge to roll my eyes and snap my attention to the King when he speaks again.

"Enough Tyler. Show her around and escort her back to your room." The King says, interrupting something the prince was about to say.

"Why my room?"

"I told you that's where she was staying." The King says and this time I do roll my eyes but I do it quickly and no one notices. I hope.

"Let's go." The prince says to me and I get up slowly. I can tell he's annoyed by me but I don't really care. I don't want this either. I don't like the royals. I'm not some hypocrite that says she hates something then jump at any opportunity to have it.

The prince walks out the door in a quick movement and I hurry to catch up to him. He's walking fast as if trying to lose me but I keep my pace even with his, glad for being able to stretch my legs. He gives me the quick tour, skipping over several rooms. He keeps rubbing his lip with his thumb and I realize he's thinking of a girl. What boy that's rubbing his lip isn't thinking of a girl that he recently kissed or wishes to.
