(Ruby's P.O.V.)

A sudden pounding in my head caused me to jolt awake, only to find myself in a lumpy single bed in a very vacant room.

I wince as the pounding gets stronger and it was then that I notice, as a glass of water and two pills were slammed down on the bedside table, that there was someone else in the room with me.

I look at the two pills in thought, wondering if they were safe to have.

"They are just pain killers. For god sake, just drink up already." My captor shouts at me, making me jump.

"Sorry." He mumbles upon my reaction to his harsh words.

"Why am I here?" I speak up after I had drowned the two pills and water.

Well, croaked rather than spoke because my throat was really dry. Even after that big glass of water it still felt like a massive wad of cotton was bundled nicely in there.

"I really have no idea. Boss said to take you to the cells and this is kinda one so I guess he won't mind if your in here and not in a proper cell because if the cold floor and bars wouldn't do you any good." He rambles on.

"My queen, do you think that there is any way you could get your mate and his people to come rescue you? I really do not like seeing you like this, no one deserves to be kidnapped because of a stupid title."

I smile at him, though it was a weak one.

"My dear Ian. I am glad you feel that way. But you see, I have no way of contacting anyone while I am in here, if you could -" I stopped short when I heard heavy footsteps outside the door.

Not a second later, a big beefy man came barreling through the door with a sour look on his face.

"Ian, what did I tell you? Why is she in here?" He asks, saying 'she' as if it was the filthiest word he knew.

"You said a cell boss, this is one. Just one of the nicer ones. You can't have the queen in the worst cell we own could you?" Ian says, suddenly becoming unsure at the end.

The mans mouth twisted into a sick, vicious smile as he made his way over to Ian.

"No, of course not. We couldn't have our royal blood line be mistreated now could we?" The mans voice was dripping in sarcasm but Ian didn't catch it. He was smiling slightly by the time all the words had escaped his bosses mouth.

"That's right sir!"

I gulp in unease. The look on big guys face was most unsettling and Ian is just so cute and innocent, he had no idea of the danger he was in.

"Yes, well. You shall know better so that next time you will do as I ask the first time round and not go and do what ever you see fit."

Ian's facial expression turned from glee to one of confusion as boss lifted his right hand into the air.

My eyes widen as the hand started to pick up momentum so I turned away before it could come into contact with its target. But turning away didn't help as much as I wanted it too because a crack echoed through out the room and I winced at how much that must have hurt.

My eyes burned as I hear Ian whimper in pain. It was too late before I realized what I was doing as my body got up of its own accord and shielded Ian from this abusive bastard. He merely laughs before shoving me roughly out of the way and on to the floor.
