Walking through a dark, endless narrow hallway, I could only hear the beats of my pacing heart and jagged breathing. The deadly silence was frightening as not a single servant was in sight. Reaching to the end, I see a large brown wooden door, with lots of intricate details carved into it and words I did not understand. Curiosity filled me as I opened the door and walked into the large dark room. It smelled horrible. I wandered further into the room, even though my mind told me not to, my feet kept going. I kept on following the stench until my bare feet tramped into water. My instincts seemed to kick in but I couldn't help but resist them. I felt so close and couldn't give up. Small blue feet came caught my attention in the far corner. The puddle continued till there too. Curiously, I walked towards the now visible woman's body. Lying face down, her long black hair was spread all around her. Her wedding gown, ripped and torn from her body, leaving open gashes on display.

"Come closer." a voice called, barely audible. I obediently knelt down beside the body, carefully pulling the girl's hair aside. It felt so familiar... Yet, lifeless. I rolled the body over onto it's back, moving away all the endless hair.

And there I saw it, my own grey eyes staring back into mine.

"Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!" I screamed out, fighting my way through my now clammy sheets. The doors burst open and Tiago runs in with Dominic behind him, as well as other male servants.

"Princess, are you okay?" asked Dominic, scanning the room and then bored his eyes into mine.

I nodded and sat up, realising it had all been a horrible nightmare. My heart was still pounding erratically, and I try to overcome my fear. Tiago walks over towards me with a smirk on his face.

"Seems like the princess had a night terror. You may leave." said Tiago, gesturing for them to go. Dominic had reluctantly moved from his spot, his eyes never leaving Tiago's figure, looming over me.

"Since when does Thee Rochelle Black have nightmares? You were always so invincible." said Tiago, chuckling at his own thoughts.

I picked up a pillow and threw it at him, narrowly missing his head.
"Shut up. " I said, rolling my eyes at his snarky comment.

His deep laughter filled my ears and I immediately relaxing.
Everything is okay.
He sat down at the foot of my bed and slid his fingers through his hair.
"Want to talk about your dream? " he asked casually. I shook my head. I could not relive the horrible things I saw.

"Do you not ever think that this whole set up is weird? You're marrying your ex student... Not that I mind, but wouldn't you like to have a free choice?" I asked, making use of the moment to reveal a bit more cleavage from my black silk night dress. He notices it and slowly looks back into my eyes.

"I like this arrangement..." he answers huskily as I flip my hair from one side to another, making my neck available. He licks his lips slowly, his eyes fixated on my jugular vein. I enjoyed seeing what I could do to make him weak.

"Fuck, Rochelle. You know the queen is probably hearing our every word. This -" he said, scanning my body up and down, "this will probably not go unnoticed."

"Spend the night with me? I can't sleep after what has happened." I asked. I wanted him close for protection... And partially because he is hot as fuck. I could not miss out from that opportunity.
