Clap Clap Clap " How romantic, I see you're trying to be the hero my dear brother. I assume she is the damsel in distress? What a lovely couple." A voice startles me from behind and I turn around.
"Brandon?" I mutter. Eric moves in front of me shielding me with his body.
" Very smart girl indeed." He comes closer and I cling onto Eric harder.
" She's not going anywhere." Eric says, and Brandon laughs. Such a cruel laugh I have never heard before.
"Still trying to play the hero I see, wake up! You are no match for me. You're just a fragile human being, unwanted at the kingdom. Even your foster parents abandoned you." Brandon steps closer and I hold my breath. Eric takes a deep breath and lunges at Brandon as he shouts.
"At least I'm not evil!"
I don't know what to do I can't move or speak and I just stand there. Frozen. Wait, I'm frozen I can't move. Why can't I move.
I see dark purple force enclosed around me. It's a force field and my body cannot move, however hard I try.
Outside the shield I see Brandon and Eric fighting. Eric is no match for someone like Brandon. He has mystical powers and abnormal strength. I cannot speak or blink, I feel like a statue at the park. But I wish I can close my eyes, tears start flushing down my face at the horrendous scene I am witnessing. Brandon has Eric at the neck in his mouth. Brandon has transformed into an animal that seems similar to a wolf. He is shredding Eric to pieces not hesitating at all. His own brother, he has no mercy. When there's nothing left of Eric, Brandon turns back to his original form and the force field collapses. I run towards Eric, nothing but bones and scraps. I feel sick in my stomach and I can't even cry anymore. Instead I stand up and face Brandon.
"You monster, how can you do that to your own brother." I intend to slap him but he grips me my arms so fast I didn't even see his hand.
"Watch it princess you don't want to mess with me" He has a smirk on his face and it makes my stomach swirl.
"You disgust me!" I spit every word right at his face.
" I am not going to offer my body for anything." At this point, I wasn't scared of anything at all. I'd rather have him rip me to shreds like Eric that have me sacrificed at a ritual, on my birthday!
" I'm going to make a little deal with you, you have two choices. Choice A, stop pretending to be strong and just come with me easy as it sounds. No one gets hurt, or choice b. You vow to love me forever and I'll spare your life. Which one is it going to be? I'll give you until midnight tomorrow. If you choose choice A come in a red dress. But if you choose choice B wear a black dress. If you don't show up you know very well what happens. Say goodbye to your bestfriend and sister. I'll tell them to thank you for their death. I'll be waiting at the pond." He walks around me like a dog sniffing a bone ready to devour it. Then when he stops behind me he whispers in my ear.
" You have until your birthday..... Princess." Then he's gone when I spin around.
