The Amazon Princess

Chapter 4

CHAPTER 4

Of course, I would choose the option without the "absolute force" but what kind of girl wouldn't believe that she wouldn't stay alive with this man?

I know that what they said is true but I'm not ready to lose my parents on just a simple business trip.

Suddenly, the plane began to shake uncontrollably causing both me and the man who questioned me to lose our balance leading us toward the ground.

"Ewww, Get off of me!" I demanded.

"Shh now, Princess, you might start a commotion." He hushed and even went as far to cover my mouth just to make sure I make no sound at all.

How disgusting! How unpleasant! And what's more unfortunate on my part is that his hand is so smelly because it reeked heavily of cigarettes.

From the position I was in, I was able to steal a glance at the guy who was seated beside me before all of this happened, he was there by the corner of the table clutching his upper abdomen a bit of blood seeping through his fingers and lots of other blood stains all over his shirt almost like he bathed in a tub full of blood.

Finally, the guy with the smelly hands let go of me and wandered off to inform his group mates to begin evacuation, leaving me alone with my seat mate who was still holding onto his abdomen.

I crawled towards him, "Are you alright? Where did you get that- ..or those wounds?" I whispered keeping my voice low.

"We leave in two minutes." He said rather calmly and continued staring out the window.

I was speechless. I didn't know what to do in the last two minutes of my parents' lives. So I decided to peek over the passengers seat. It was a bloodbath. Passengers were being murdered each second, one by one.

I quickly turned back around, afraid to spot my parents being killed right before my eyes.

That's when I saw the guy swing open the emergency door making air both rush in and out so rapidly that I have to cling onto the seat's sidebar in fear of being sucked out of the plane.

Before I could even scream he grabs me by my waist and he jumps off the plane with me in his grasp and I hug him tightly in fear.

My body isn't capable of that. I couldn't bear jumping off a plane on my own or witnessing so much murders in one day. I was too scared to look down to where we'll be landing them that was when I passed out.

I shot up, breathing heavily from wherever I was laying. I looked around at my surroundings then I realized it was just a nightmare and that I'm on my garden hammock, in the middle of my garden, safe and sound with my parents somewhere in the kingdom and eventually, the adviser will come and check on me any second now.

"Oh you're awake, thank goodness I was really worried that something happened to you while we jumped off that plane." What?

I looked up slowly to see- the guy who was seated next to me on the plane that appeared to also have a wound on his upper abdomen then grabbed me without my permission then dragged me down with him off the plane?! No! I want to hear the advisor's voice, not him! Why is this all happening?! Why do I feel happy for some unknown reason? What is this feeling? Why is my heart beating so furiously? And why in the world is my face turning warm? Did he place poison into my drink or my food while we were on the plane?

Then I noticed that he wasn't looking at me anymore because he was looking at the sky deep in thought that I automatically looked up as well and it took me a few seconds to realize that my beloved parents are inside a plane that's hopefully still soaring in the sky but by the information that I was given its going to be crashing down.

I froze in both pure dread and in up most fear for my beloved parents. I felt absolutely helpless because I know I couldn't do anything to help them.

I noticed the guy is now looking at me but I didn't care, my parents are about to die! And that thought alone couldn't made me lose a hold of my senses.

Just then, the guy placed a hand on my arm, "Princess, this isn't exactly the right place for you to stay."

I heard a low rumble of an engine from a distance then I spotted a helicopter flying above us with a ladder hanging from its doorway low enough to climb on.

"And where do you think you're taking me?" I demand.

He places one hand on one of the ladder rungs to stable it and one outstretched hand towards me, "To my home."

*******

When we arrived I spotted lots of huts and a few stone buildings and lots of people too.

However, this wasn't like my kingdom at all. There's no marble archways, no servants or maids rushing around tending to everyone's needs and no glass fountains.

"Is THIS the civilization that my father helped?" I shouted incredulously with a gaping mouth but no one answered.

We got off the helicopter and we descended into the unfamiliar town. When we appeared a bunch of women noticed me and shot deadly glares at me almost making me cower behind his back.

Then as soon as I was left by him, the same big group of women came charging at me with different kinds of weapons and torches in their hands. What kind of civilization is this? Women of no respect or poise? Such a disappointment of the hard work my father did for them.

"Halt!" The guy ordered, "Please don't harm her." He added.

"B-but Logan, this outrageous woman was stalking you and even dared to walk beside you!" She protested, "Our fathers asked you for a marriage arrangement and you declined and now your letting this pathetic trashcan WALK with you?!" She added.

Who does she think she is to say those diabolic words towards me? "Umm..may I ask who are you?" I say trying to control my anger.

"Ha, I'm the Mayor's beautiful daughter. How can you not know about me? And for your information, I'm Logan's girlfriend." She says with proudly.

I don't know why but my eyes automatically diverted to the gu- to Logan and glared, "Your girlfriend is this girl? How disappointing."

Then I felt the ground starting to shake, causing a crack to form in between and separating me and Logan from the other girls.

Out of nowhere a hand covered my hand again but it didn't smell like the last guy so I know that this isn't the same person so I turned around to see who it was-
