Phoenix's POV

I awoke to sunlight streaming inside my room; thanks to the skylight in the ceiling and floor to ceiling windows on the far side of the room from the door. My room had royal purple colored walls and cream colored carpet. To the left of the door was my king sized canopy bed and to the right was the balcony. The bathroom was next to my bed; which was my destination after I woke up and yawned loudly. I stood up from my heavenly bed, giving it one last long in look.

My body carried me to stand in front of my shower. I then stripped and got in. The hot water cascaded down my body, relieving last night's tension. It was then it hit me like a ton of bricks; I was supposed to marry Charles. I lost my breath and gasped for air after the realization hit me. I went to get out of the shower to get a breather, but I slipped. I felt myself hit my head, but then I felt nothing.

__________________________

I ran to the lime tree to hide behind. I was playing hide-and-seek with my guard, Frederick. I call him Fred though for short; it is too much of a mouthful. I giggled thinking that he wouldn't find me. Suddenly, I felt two hands wrap around my waist and lifting me off the ground. I let out a delighted squeal. "This game is so much fun!" I thought, squirming to get out of the person's grip.

After ten minutes of wiggling, I was freed. I immediately spun around to meet my captor. Fred just grinned at me with his sparkling green eyes before taking off in a dead sprint towards the palace. I immediately chased after him, but as I neared my home, I felt something grab me around the neck. It hoisted me in the air to the point where I couldn't breath. I tried screaming, but no sound came forth from my lips. I felt the dark corners of my mind slowly creeping forwards, taking over the light in my eyes. Just as the last bit of light were about to be gone, I was released. I fell on the ground, gasping for air.

My lungs filled several times before I could see straight again. What I saw made me crawl away in fear. I wobbly scrambled to my feet and tried to get to Fred. He was on the ground with a great gash on his temple. I managed to hobble over to him. I said his name as loud as I could, but it only came out in a whisper,"Fred?"

When he didn't respond, I used my telepathy to call for help. I heard the sound of rushing feet drawing near. I knew it was the help I had called for because I recognized their voices asking if I was okay. I didn't answer; I was only concerned about Fred. He challenged my attacker and saved my life. I could feel a warm sensation spreading through my chest; it was love.

__________________________

I awoke to the feeling of that warm sensation from my dream, or memory, in my chest. It was a nice way to wake up after the way I had arose that morning. I stretched and rose from my reclined position to a sitting one. I was pulled immediately into a hug when I sat up, although, I didn't mind since it was Fred hugging me. "Do you know how worried I was?" He exploded after he let me go.

I gave him a little smile while saying, "Well you are yelling at your princess so I believe very." I snickered picturing him hovering over me waiting for me to wake up in order to scold me. Despite my brain telling me not to, I laughed out loud. When I looked up and met Fred's eyes, it told me this was not a laughing matter to him. I cocked an eyebrow, saying to him, "Fred, I'm fine. You don't need to worry-I just fell in the shower." Admitting it out loud was embarrassing, but it had to be done in order to relieve Fred of his worries. Ever since the day I was almost killed, he gets panicky when I get hurt. It doesn't matter how big a cut is or if it is even a bruise, Fred gets upset. It warmed my heart how he cares for me, but it is probably as a friend. This thought made my chest ache with an indescribable pain.

Fred then asked me, "How did you fall in the shower?"

"I remembered that I'm supposed to marry...it," I whispered, dropping my head in the process. Now was my turn for a question. I looked down at my attire; I was fully clothed when I had been nude in the shower.

"Fred who found me and dressed me?" I asked with my voice full of accusation. His eyes widened in alarm, but before I could go raging on how he walked into the bathroom knowing fully well I was in the shower, there came a knock on my bedchamber door.

Fred turned towards the door quickly, calling out, "Come in!" I frowned at him in disapproval. He had avoided the topic of how I became dressed.

"I will get it out of him later," I promised myself. My mother flounced into my bedchamber as if she owned the place with my father trailing behind. My frown deepened upon seeing them. How come Fred was here for me when I was injured, but my own parents were not here? "Not even Nyla...," I thought with grief. My own sister didn't care. She probably thought I was being selfish because I didn't want to marry "it". If she was in my position and refused, I would support her decision. I shook it off as I stared at the people in front of me. My mother had a big smile on her face while my father looked constipated.

"You better get ready! We are going to see your fiancé tomorrow!" My mother practically squawked with delight. My face turned my unhappy frown into a grimace of pure disgust. My own mother didn't even ask how I was feeling just launched into her own selfish desires.  Besides the fact my mom is stuck up in her own little world, I was going to see my worst enemy tomorrow. I hated it with every fiber of my being. I turned to look at Fred, but he wouldn't meet my eyes. He was too busy staring holes through both of my supposed "parents", if you could even call them that since they don't love me. I didn't respond to them; I just fell back on the pillow and drifted off to sleep.
