Alice's P.O.V.
"Alice, my dear, can you go and fetch some water?" My mother asked me.
"Yes, mother." I replied.
I straightened out my long olive green gown and walked outside with a bucket to fetch some water.
"Miss Alice let me carry that, a lady like you shouldn't have to." My older brother Louis grinned.
"Lou, I'm no lady." I smiled.
"But you're a lady to me." Louis grinned and grabbed the bucket.
We walked to the pump and I pumped the water while Louis was looking around.
"Louis, what is it?" I asked.
"A rumor that Prince Harry is coming to our village."
"Why?" I asked.
"It's Harry, he will probably take some girl and hurt them." I shivered at that thought, the thought of him taking me.
"Hey, I'm not letting him get his hands on my baby sister." Louis smiled and hugged me.
"Hello Lou, Alice." Liam and Niall laughed coming to join the hug.
"Hello boys.", I smiled.
"I'm guessing you told her." Liam asked, worry written across his face. Louis nodded.
"Don't worry Alice, we're not going to let him take you." Niall smiled. I nodded, I loved these boys, they were like brothers to me, well Louis was my brother. After a few hours past it was dark and I was putting my little sisters to bed.
"And they all lived happily ever after." I finished and put the book away.
"Is that it?" Daisy pouted.
"Yes, it is, I will read you a different one tomorrow." Daisy grinned and Charlotte rolled her eyes.
"What's the matter, Lottie?" I asked.
"You always read that story Alice." Charlotte replied.
"Well it's their favourite, anyway, bed. All of you." I said and kissed their heads goodnight, shutting the door.
"They all asleep?" My mother asked.
"Yes, all done." I replied.
"You and your brother are such good children." My mother kissed my head. Suddenly the door burst open and there stood Lou, Niall and Liam.
"Get the girls and hide them." Louis panted.
"What is going on?" My mother asked worried.
"Harry's men, their coming here, with him." Liam stated gasping for air.
"How do you know?" I asked while my mother was getting the girls.
"We were talking by the border of the village and saw his flag." Liam answered. Niall rushed past me along with Liam to help get the girls while Louis grabbed me.
"Listen to me Alice, in case I can't protect you, take this and stab anyone of his men, including him.", Louis whispered handing me a knife.
"Louis...I...".
"Just run and hide.", Louis whispered kissing my nose. Screams could be heard and fire blazing outside the house. I looked and saw his men scattered around.
"To the barn now!" My mother ordered. We all ran apart from Daisy.
"Daisy, come on!" I called but she was crying and started running outside.
"DAISY!" I screamed and ran out after her. It was dark, the only light were the blazing fires. People were being killed, hurt girls screaming.
"DAISY!", I called. I saw her sitting on the ground.
"ALICE!" Niall shouted. I didn't listen to him and grabbed Daisy.
"NO DADDY'S NECKLACE!" She screamed. My father gave that to her before he died.
"Take her.", I told Niall.
"No, what about you?" He screamed over the noise taking Daisy.
"I have to!", I yelled and ran back to where the necklace was. I picked it up and I was about to run back until someone grabbed my waist. I turned around and met harsh hazel eyes that belonged to Zayn, Prince Harry's first commander and best friend. He was tall with tanned skin, hazel eyes, black hair and ink on his arms.
"You're a pretty thing.", Zayn purred in my ear. I tried to get out of his grip but it was too strong.
"ALICE!" I heard Louis yell.
"LOU!" I screamed, but guards stood in the way, not letting us past.
"Alice, that's a beautiful name.", a husky voice stated. By now everything was quiet, people hiding or frozen. My breathing quickened.
"Can't wait to make you mine.", the voice continued. Zayn turned around where I locked my eyes with green sparkling ones. Curly hair dropped around his face. He smirked, making me want to gag. All those features mean one person...Prince Harry.
"P-please.", I whimpered.
"Tsk, tsk. No can do princess, I like you and I want you. And because I'm the prince, I can have you." Harry hissed. He nodded to Zayn, who picked me up and placed me on his horse, and he sat behind me so I couldn't jump off.
"LOUIS!" I cried.
"ALICE, I'LL FIND YOU. I WON'T STOP!" My older brothers voice faded as we rode away back to his castle. Why me?
