Captain Styles *UNEDITED VERSION*

Chapter 1

Isabella's POV:

I ran through the town streets and laughed as I heard his footsteps following behind me. I turned my head to the side, a smirk on my face as he slowly caught up with me.

Soon, he had grabbed me by the waist and twirled me around in the air. I laughed, wrapping my legs around his waist and putting my forehead on his. He pushed me against the wall and I smiled at him, his face shielded so I couldn't see who it was. I know this man...I do. But who is he?

"I told you I'd give you an adventure." He says, his voice low and very slurred, making it hard to pick out his voice specifically. "And you sure did." I say and lean in to kiss him, but soon he faded away, making me fall to the ground.

"You liar!! You said you'd never forget!" His voice roared loudly but I couldn't remember what I had forgotten. I spun around in circles, trying to find him as darkness closed around me, making it hard to breathe before a flash of green came across my eyes right before the darkness swallowed me whole. "Wait!"

I woke up with a start, looking over to see the sun pouring in through the window. I groaned, rolling over on my side before slowly opening my eyes again. What kind of dream was that? It confuses me more every time. My maid, Darla, smiled kindly at me as she saw me waking.

"Good morning m'lady, how are you?" She asks and I sigh, pushing myself up to a sitting position. "Darla, how many times do I have to tell you? Just call me Isabella." I say and she sighs.

"I'm sorry m'la-Isabella, it's a habit your father got me into." She defends and I giggle. "It's alright, I know how he is." I say and she smiles at me.

"What time is it?" I ask and she shakes her head. "It's only 8:30. Your father wanted me to wake you before he left at nine. Says he has something very important to tell you." She says and I groan, looking over at my clock to confirm the time.

Dang. It is only 8:30. This is dumb.

"And he knows I hate early mornings." I complain and Darla laughs. "You'd better see what he wants Miss." She says and I sigh, dragging myself from my bed and walking to the bathroom.

I brushed my hair out before using the toilet and washing my hands. I went back in my room and put on a pair of black leggings and an oversized blue sweatshirt.

These were just my around the house clothes, since my father couldn't bear to see me in 'such clothes' as he calls them, anywhere else.

I went downstairs to see him and someone else talking by our front doors. "Good morning Isabella." My father greets upon seeing me and I give him a smile. "Good morning father." I return and he nods before eyeing me.

"We are going to be having guests tonight, so I hope you don't plan on wearing that." He says and I sigh, nodding my head. "No sir, I plan on changing then." I say and he nods to me again.

He turns back to the other man with him, who was eyeing me rather curiously.

"Anyways, we will leave for the kings palace as soon as possible. Tomorrow morning I shall ride with my wife and daughter to talk to him to arrange something." My dad says and I raise an eyebrow.

The other man nods before leaving, making my father turn to me. "Isabella dear I am leaving soon for preparation for tomorrow." He starts and I nod.

"What's tomorrow?" I ask him and he sighs. "We are going to have you be wed to one of the kings sons." He says and my mouth drops.

"WHAT??" I ask bewildered and my father glares at me.

"The king's councilman was just here and I agreed, this will be good for us. You will have an arranged marriage." He says and I shake my head.
