I started pacing back and forth in my cage in sheer rage. I was really anxious to get out and find Yumiko so we can leave. Big Brother Xander might be wondering if we will return soon. On a normal day, we return at nightfall or even when everyone is already in bed. Regardless of our scheduling, our brother will come looking for us when we're past due. I looked up at the only window in the dungeon to see what the outside world looked like. The sky is slowly turning a orange-red hue, we have to leave soon. Anxiety started to build up inside me, the need to just fight the Hoshidan army alone other than to deal with Xander and Father. My anxiety turned to anger and I begin to violently throw my flame-covered fist at the steel bars, one by one.

"Fucking break, you stupid metal! Fire melts metal!" I cursed at the inanimate object. I didn't noticed the door open, the Hoshian prince standing before me with a maid next to him, holding a plate of food. I sucked my teeth and turned my back to them. I'm in no mood to speak with anyone. 

"H-Here's your foo-"

"I'm not eating that garbage! I don't trust you!!!"

"Both of you Nohrian princesses are so stubborn." Ryoma hissed. I turned my head toward him, my body still not facing his own.

"And so are you! Today was a lovely day to go run around and hunt some deer when your two ninjas decided to attack me!"

"You were in Hoshido's borders." I turned to Ryoma. 

"I was in the thrill of a hunt, Hedgehog! Now release me and my sister before I burn this place to the ground!"

"...All right." I was about to attack him more but I choked. 'Did he really say okay?' Ryoma ordered the servant to leave the room. Wow. Now we are alone, like we were only a half hour or so before. I planned to take this opportunity to attack him and leave him bleeding to death on the ground, but this is all too sketchy for it to be true. My little story couldn't have possibly convinced him this easily. I know something was up and as usual, I'm taking the risk. The cage door finally opened and I slowly stepped out.

"Thanks. Now I'll be taking my leave, hedgehog!" The prince didn't see my tail coming, slapping him and sending him flying across the dungeon hall. I transformed using my Beastrune and bolted down the halls, frantically searching for the exit out of the painfully bright castle. As I turned the first corner, a random bolt of lightning collided with the walls far too close to my beastly form, causing me to fall hard on the ground. My vision became blurry, making it hard to keep focus, however I managed to get back on my feet and dash. Before I could even begin my fast sprint, I felt a sharp pull of my tail and was forced down to the ground. I dropped my Beastrune stone and as I reached for it a shadow loomed over me and took it, obviously the high prince, Ryoma.

"Wow, such a gentlemen for hurting a lady." I gazed up at the irritated prince and flashed him a plastic smile. He bend down to my level and wrapped something around my neck then force me up on my feet. I gagged as the cold metal slightly closing my windpipe, Ryoma then releases me and I have what appears to be a metal collar.

"That should keep you from using your devilish power." He spat at me. 

"You can run away all you want, but you can't escape from me."

"So you are just going to chain me up like a dog?"

"You are one aren't you?" He respond mockingly.

"Touche..." I mumbled under my breath.

"You're my bitch now."

"I'm no one's bitch, you're just looking for someone so you can feel better about yourself, you're worthless just like your pathetic father!" The high prince suddenly gripped my leash and tugged it hard so I would face him, the two of us locking eyes. He held me close to his face, giving me the opportunity to claw his face like I said I would do earlier. Hey, you can't think so low of me ya know? Blood was splatter on the floor, some on the walls and of course on my exposed skin. I didn't know how deep I clawed him, but I hope it was enough to make his eyeball come out. The prince finally release me as he groans in pain. Just to be sure I whacked him again with my tail then went running down the halls again with his Raijinto in my hand. 

"You take my stone, I take your sword~!" I sang as I run away from him. Thankfully I found the exit guarded by two weaklings. It was easy taking them out. Now with the prince out of the way, time to find my sister and break out of here.
