The Assassin and The Sadistic Prince

Chapter 1

I sat in the cold cell I was given to stay in as I waited for my time of death to come. I looked at the cell door as it squeaked open. A man had entered, yanking me up by the rags I wore and shoving me out the door in a rough manner. I sighed lightly, now being led to the platform where the noose hung. Citizens and the prince watched as I stood on the platform, my silver eyes fixed on the prince. I stood silently as the man put the rope around my neck, I was prepared for death. I would either die here or back at the clan's camp. Just as the executioner put his hand around the rope I spoke loudly to the crowd, "I, Akiira Agoma, have the Seer's Eyes on my side. My death will cause war between you mortals and my clan!" My clan was special, we had silver eyes. These were called "Eyes of the Future" since people with silver eyes would act as tellers of the future and it was a gift and a curse to have them. Now people ignore us and we became a clan of assassins and thieves. The rope started to quickly press against my neck and a voice called out from the crowds, "Stop!" I looked up and saw the man that had spoken was none other than Prince Baal. He smiled, "Can't you see this girl speaks the truth? She has the abnormal hair and silver eyes. I want her as my maid!"
The executioner replied in surprise, "Y-Your highness, she tried to kill you!"
"Yes I know, but she has the eyes of a true seer. While she may not know how to use them, she will be of much use later on."
Once those words were said I felt the rope stop pressing against my neck and it was taken off. The executioner shoved me towards the prince roughly and made me fall to my knees before him. The prince looked down at me, his dark green eyes sparkled in the light. He spoke in a quiet tone so no one around could hear him accept for the two maids at his sides which looked at me with pity, "I'll have fun with my new toy." He let out a low chuckle as he looked down on me.
"I'm not a toy, I'm a human being and I have rights." I said with a hint of disgust in my voice.
"I saved you from dying out there, however, I only saved you because of that unique purple hair and those rare silver eyes. If you were a normal person, or even a child for that matter, I wouldn't have saved you." He still looked down on me, a sick smile across his face as he got up. He offered me a hand up and I hesitantly accepted it. Once he pulled me up he kicked me back down, laughing as I hit the hard concrete, "What a stupid girl!" He continued to laugh as he stepped on my side repeatedly.
"Stop!" I finally screamed, not out of pain, but of hatred. As his foot was hovering above me, shocked from me yelling at him, I took wrapped the chains that bounded my wrists around his foot and tugged down, making him fall to the ground. He certainly wasn't pleased with this and he kicked me off with his other leg, sending me dangerously close to the edge of the steps.
"Don't ever do that again, do you understand? When you work for me you don't have rights." He said coldly.
"I'm a human being! I will always have rights!" I screamed in reply, the maids that still sat at the sides of his chairs signaled for me to stop. I started to scream at them, "And you two, why don't you ever stand up to him?"
The maids stayed silent, looking down at the floor and ignoring me. The prince sighed and yanked me up, dragging me by my now bruised arm to his carriage. The maids followed behind me, walking shakily across the bumpy dirt road, and that is when I saw that they both had bruises lining their ankles and legs, long chains attached to them as the walked. I was yanked into the carriage and thrown on the ground. I scooted up against one of the doors and the two maids were kindly helped in by the prince and he set them down on the seats opposite of him. I went to go get up and sit with them but was kicked to the ground by the prince who was still smirking, "Only the good girls get to sit up here. The filthy rats can sit on the floor, I'm sure your used to it right?"
"Shut up! I know that you're a prince but this is no way to treat me if you want me to ever respect you!" I'd yell as I stomped my foot on the floor.
He the princes laughed as if it was a joke, "Respect me? Oh no girly, I want you to fear me."
Fear. The one feeling I never really experienced, fear, was now brought into my life. This man was not a human, no, he was a monster. He finally spoke to me in a more normal manner, "So your name is Akiira? For a seer, I've never heard such a name. Most of them are normal, like Sarah or Mia."
"My clan are more, how do I put it, foreign." I'd say, not knowing how to explain the origin of my name, or my clan's names for that matter. We all had unusual names for people of this country. We came from a land far off from here, we were from and Asia and moved to this new place, one of which I don't know the name of.
Soon the carriage stopped and we were let out. I was shoved out, as normal, but this time it didn't have as much force as the other ones. I looked back to see it was one of the maids who had pushed me. She seemed frail and had porcelain-like skin with a skinny, bony structure. The girl, who I assumed to be her sister, hopped down beside her. The prince pushed past them and walked in front of me, shoving me lightly to the side. I looked up at the large doors that stood as an entry to the palace. I didn't pay attention to the details when I went to kill he prince, but now that I could see it without worry, it was truly astonishing. I was led in by the maids, one of them spoke, "T-The maid quarters are this way..." She has a quiet tone and I could barely hear her speaking.
"No," The prince said, "She will move into your room. You two will pack up and bring your stuff down to the maid quarters. She is my new personal maid." He had a serious look on his face.
"B-But your highne-" she was cut off as a loud slapping noise filled the quiet, long hallway, the rattling of chains following after. Her sister rushed her side and looked up at the prince. Now that her eyes were visible from underneath her bangs I could see the irregular color of blue that sparkled in her eyes.
"I'm bored of you two twins. You're too frail, you stutter to much, and you are no longer beautiful, nor interesting to play with." He said, looking down at the maid who was shaking violently on the floor as her sister helped her get up and walk up the palace stairs. The prince took my hand gently and examined it, "What a pretty skin tone, a beautiful body, and more importantly, an interesting personality," He said as he ran his hands through my short, silky, purple hair.
I pulled my hand away, disgusted by how he just beat another woman only to compliment me after. I stayed silent, sitting on the floor in my white, torn dress as I waited for the two maids to get done packing.
Once they finished packing the prince dragged me into the room which had a large bed with drapes, a nice purple carpet, a wardrobe filled with many different outfits, and a blue and white dress that sat on the bed with two dark purple bows that sat by it's side. I walked up to the dress and looked at it, lifting it up and examining it. "Do you like it?" The prince asked from behind me.
"Well, I've never seen anything like it." I replied, still examining the dress.
"It's your new outfit!" He said as he grabbed my shoulders and laughed at my shocked expression.
"This barely goes past my butt!" I yelled, looking at how short this dress was. It could barely even cover my legs, which I was mainly embarrassed about. The prince proceeded to laugh at me, "Well! Get dressed!" I stared at him, waiting for him to go out but he didn't.
"What are you waiting for?" He said, a confused look on his face.
"Get out!" I yelled, pointing at the door.
"No, your going to change in this room and I'm going to stay in here until you do." He said with a stubborn smile. This gave me an idea. I dashed into the wardrobe, which was still technically inside the room, hiding behind a bunch of clothes I quickly slipped off the torn dress and got dressed in the new one. I peeked out to see if the prince was still there, and he sure was. He tugged me out, making me fall and almost expose my breasts due to the fact that I couldn't tie the back. I stuttered "J-Just tie the back!" I was stuttering mainly due to what he might do to me. I was a heartless assassin, before I met him that is. He scared me. I never knew true fear until I met this man, he beat people without second thought and saw it as entertainment. He said he would let a child die, a child! Only the gods knew what he would do. I soon felt him tying the knot of the cloth and I sighed in relief before he yanked me up roughly by the arm and shoved me on the bed, putting me in a sitting position. He sighed, "And you didn't even do your hair."
"I don't know how to." I said, glancing at him in an irritated way.
"Well, I'll do it then, and I'll have the maids teach you how." He said as he slipped behind me and sat, starting to brush out my hair. He played with it at times, as if he was a girl too. Soon he starting weaving the hair into two braids, leaving the rest of my hair down. He whispered into my ear, "Perfect." I jumped back slightly, only resulting in him fastening his arms around me. "You can't get away, I have this entire palace on guard for you. If you try and leave, you will need to go to another country or get executed, that is if you actually make it out. I already know where your clan is, so you can't really survive for long with out them to feed you."
I stood there, my mouth slightly open and I ripped myself from his grasp, the same sick smile spread across his face. He enjoyed me suffering, he enjoyed the torture and pain of other people, only proving to me that he was truly a monster. He wasn't the prince everyone saw, a strong, kind, and caring leader to soon be king. No, he was a monster, a sadistic, twisted, horrible monster. I dashed out of the room, slamming the doors behind me and locked myself in the room next to mine. This room had gold lining almost everything, there was a crown which had amazing jewels in it, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, you name it, it was on this crown. The prince opened the door, swinging a key on his finger, chuckling darkly. "You are going to pay for that my little toy..."
