love that binds me

chapter 15

i felt paralyzed. whether from the heavy sedatives or what she was telling me to do.

"I need you to make my brother love you. Marry you even. Then kill him. Then all you'd have to do is hand over the crown to me." she giggled still toying in my hair.

My blood ran cold. She was only using me for her dirty work.

"You and i will be great friends Jothi i promise." her fingers ran down my neck.

i wanted to scream or move. But i was paralyzed and at her mercy. I don't want this feeling ever again. I felt tears fall down my chin.

Something sharp and small dug into my neck. my eyes flew open, my screams lodged in my throat. At first it was like fire broke out across my skin and where she touched me.

Then...and then it stopped. I forgot why i was in pain or feeble struggling to get away. All i wanted now was for her to be near me.

She pulled away and blinked at me.

"Your loyal to me now. Understand ?" she sat back on her knees and watched me.

i was tired and drained after she pulled away. My eyelids once again to heavy to keep open. They closed on Ariel as she continued to play in my hair.
