The Cursed Beauty (On Hold)

Chapter 3

I woke up when I heard a soft tap at my balcony door. I stood up grabbed my staff and walked toward the balcony. I opened the door with half open eyes still groggy from my slumber. After I opened the door I heard a deep chuckle that made my heart beat out my chest and had butterflies in my stomach. " Morning sleeping beauty." A strange voice said. My eyes shot open, I recognized that voice, but it wasn't Blake's it was the man that saved me from my Father from slicing me open like an apple. I saw Blake standing with his arms crossed over his strong,muscular chest with closed eyes, shaking his head and smiling. The man that stood next to him had dark brown hair and a sun-kissed tan and the most greenest eyes, like a the most greenest forest. He was also very tall at least two heads taller than me. Blake cleared his throat snapping me out of my thoughts. The look in his eyes were something I never would have thought I would ever see in his beautiful blue crystal eyes...jealousy maybe-ha! Like he would be jealous especially when it comes to me, a cursed Princess-I moved out of the way limping so they could enter, the man looked at me with concern, "What happened to you? Why are you limping? Was it your Father?!" The man asked narrowing his eyes at my wound. Both Blake and the mans eyes widened when they looked at my foot. I looked at my foot and nearly fainted at the sight- it had a lot of blood all over my foot, the cloth turned from as white as snow to the darkest shade of blood I have ever seen there was even blood on the floor I limped over to my looking glass and saw I was really pale the pink that was usually in my cheeks was gone, I was almost the shade of snow.
I started swaying on my feet when the man and Blake ran over to me. Blake shot a I-will-kill-you-if-you-don't-let-go-now glare and the man returned the glare. They weren't holding onto me tight enough, their hands were just hovering over my skin. While they were staring daggers at each other I collapsed to the floor, the last thing I remember before the darkness took over was the man speaking in what I now recognized as Italian. He was yelling in Italian at Blake, " È colpa tua! Tu sei la ragione per cui questo essere successo a lei! Ora, aiutami suo ascensore. Prendete un panno pulito e acqua pulita."-translation:" This is your fault! You are the reason this has happened to her! Now, help me lift her. Grab a clean cloth and clean water."-
The man gently put his fingers to my cheek and rubbed and said quietly, "It's okay my love. I will take care of you and I will make sure this never happens again. I will take care of you. I promise." Then with that he kissed me on the forehead and the darkness took me like a whole in the floor swallowing me whole.

<Blake's POV>
When I saw that Alexandria fall to the floor, I got so mad that I let myself let that happen. I knew that the man was a bad person when he came up to me when I was on my way back to Alexandria. He won't even tell me his name! Then when she fainted he yelled at me in Italian and he somehow knew that I would understand. I saw the way he spoke to her in her ear and caressing her beautiful cheekbone and kissed her forehead. It made me so angry. I missed having her in my arms, sleeping. When she fell asleep in my arms I waited half a hour and laid her down so I could take off my boots,coat, and shirt. After that I was just watching her sleep. The hurt in her face was gone when she slept. The pain in her eyes gone and she was just relaxed. Watching her sleep it got me thinking how I was supposed to tell her how I'm just like her with just few differences. I might not be a royal which is the biggest difference, but that I am cursed just like her. If I don't find someone that is just like me- cursed, an outcast, abandoned- by my 20th birthday I will turn into a wolf and cannot turn back and be forced to watch my love grow old with a different man and have children and watch her children and her grandchildren grow old for the rest of my life for centuries. I will know when I find the woman I am meant to spend the rest of my life with and I feel that way with Alexandria and I am determined to not let that man have her, she will be mine and I will love and care for her. The best thing is that her curse doesn't affect me at all, now I just need to convince Alexandria of that.
Somehow the man got her strength back up in just a couple hours. Her cheeks were back to their pink color and she was back to her olive color. She had on a new bandage. Alexandria was laying in her bed on her back with her hands over each other on her stomach in a silk, dark blue dress with sleeves that ended at her palms and her skirt went to her ankles and she was barefoot even though I did notice that she has a lot of pairs of shoes for someone that can't leave her tower, and the closest thing she has to being outside was her balcony which she has to wear a cloak. She was the most beautiful person I have ever seen. I remembered how she was looking at the strange man when she met him and I also saw how he was looking at her. But what made me happy was that she looked at both of us differently- she looked at him like a handsome friend and she looked at me like I was a god. I could see when she looks at me her eyes light up and she seems happier but when she looks at him, she is curious and intrigued.
I was jolted from my thoughts when I heard her stirring, I was rushing to her side from the balcony when I stopped and saw the man sitting next to her with a hand on her rubbing between her ribs. I got very angry. That was my spot! Alexandria was looking very annoyed and uncomfortable. I was about to approach them when there was a blinding white light. That made the man fall out of is seat next to Alexandria- even her name is beautiful- and almost made me laugh. Without checking to see if he was okay but just gave her a quick glance then looked at me with wanting eyes. I understood what she wanted. Me. I basically ran to her and pulled her into a hug and almost kissed her right here, right now. But a beautiful woman, of course not as beautiful as Alexandria but still pretty cleared her throat...
