"We shouldn't be here..." I shake my head and stop the horse. I look up at the large looming castle and the horse cowers a step back.

"This is where the bad guys are... Aaron and John." Philip pales as he takes in the sight of the castle, his finger rubs over his sword and jaw sets determinedly. "This is where we need to be."

"No, Philip, we need to leave. This was a mistake. I can't take you in there." I turn the horse around but his hand places itself on the rear of Aarow, he stops dead in his tracks.

"What's got you so jumpy George?" He cocks his head and turns me around to face him." It's just a castle. It's not that scary. We can take them."

"Philip they'll slaughter you like cattle." I shake my head and urge the horse back. Go back down the trail. I hate it here. I can't be here. I can't bring him here. I love him too much.

I never thought I'd admit it but I love him. I love every freckle he has to offer, and every curl. I love the playful look in his eyes. I dont just lust after him. I love him. John's wrong.

"George," He puts his hands on my cheeks," it's okay. I'm here. We're okay. We'll get in, get out, be done."

And I belive him for a moment. I melt into his hands and close my eyes. They're soft and warm, perfect. No. I can't go soft.

"No, Philip, we have to go." I turn around and yank the horse around. Then Aarow stops out of his own will and rears up.

My eyes widen and I gasp softly. Philip's eyes only narrow and his teeth grind. Aaron stands there grining ear to ear, he's wearing an unnaturally wide smile, and his eyes sparkle crazily. Nonononono, I shake my head quickly and put an arm around Philip protectively.

My back goes arrow straight and grip on him goes tight. He frowns and eyes study me. I scoot back in the saddle and block Philip further with my body. My teeth chatter and panic floods my mine.

Im usless. Im his. I can't resist him telling me what to do. It's what I am. Its what I do. When someone gives me an instruction I do it. I can't help it.

"George, just in time!" Aaron chirps and takes a step forward,my body jolts and grip the edges of Philip's shirt tighter.

"Leave us alone." I say softly. There's a roughness there, but mainly fear. Not for myself, but for Philip.

"And where's the fun in that?" He chuckles and eyes search around me for Philip. " After all, he is my new fun little toy to pull at the kings' strings. "

"George, what is he talking about?" He whispers in my ear. I shake my head and gulp.

"Oh he hasn't told you?" Aaron's eyes light up like a candle. Philip shakes his head and cuts a sharp look at me. I flinch but my grip doesnt falter.

"No, he hasn't told me anything. "He sounds angry. Oh God, I should've just told him from the start.

"Well, you rememeber that nice little story he told you in the woods with the prince and the gaurd?" He nods slowly. Aaron grins like its the greatest news all day. " We'll , turns out most of that is true! He's our little minion and he does whatever we want, it really comes in handy when we start to get a little too lonely here."

Aaron gives the devil's grin to me and I flinch back. My eyes fall to the ground and I worry my lip. Philip's eyes widen and he goes still for a few seconds as he processes this new information. He growls and shoves me off the horse, his expression turns farrell and his teeth bare like a caged animal at me. His lip lifts in a sneer and eyes go wild.
