My Fate

The Hatch

"What the hell are you talking about?" This man has to be on something I thought. Guards came rushing in along with Kaitlin. "Excuse me princess" said Kaitlin. "What is going on?!"
"Princess Olivia, the king has died" one of the guards said.
"Where is Nicholas?"
"Princess he is on his way with his men. We have to get you to safety" said the guard.
"Why?"
"The king was murdered. The man is here in the castle. You are at high risk" said Kaitlin.
"I will not leave until Nicholas is here."
They all looked at me. "Princess, he could be days, weeks away! You need to leave!"
I looked at Gavin and he was fading into the crowd, something was wrong with him. I couldn't put my finger on it. "Give me the rest of the day? Please." They all looked at eachother. "We will give you the rest of the day, but we will leave guards with you. And Kaitlin."

As the guards took their post I got anxious. Kaitlin gave me a cup of blood. She took a drink of it first, making sure it wasn't
poisoned. I sat by the fireplace watching the flames dance. Slowly starting to fall asleep.

Roses were everywhere. They were so beautiful. I ran through them smiling. The smell wafted the air. It instantly relaxed me. I laid down. I felt a drip on my head. Then a another drip. I put my hand up and looked at it. Blood. Blood covered the roses. Drowning them. Drip. Drip. Drip.

I jumped up feeling groggy when I heard a door shut. I turned around hopeful that it was Nicholas! Once again my hopes were ruined. The guards bowed, "Sorry to disturb you princess. We must be leaving."
I sighed, "Have we heard anything from Nicholas?" The guards shook their heads. I felt sadness drown me. I miss him, I need to talk to him. "Can I call him?"
"I'm sorry, but we are unable to reach him" said one of the guards.
"Well if I have to leave we must pack as much blood as possible."
"It's been done."
I guess this is it. I followed the guards, Kaitlin and Gavin out. We were led behind a wall and through a dungeon.

We continued walking through the halls of this underground path for what seemed like miles. Even with us practically fast as lightning, it took a while. We finally came to hatch in the ceiling. We all climbed up the ladder and entered into a large door. It had a window and bed in the corner. I walked over to the window and there were 1,000 upon 1,000s of roses. I shuddered... my dream. I turned immediately and Gavin was smiling.
He began to go down the hatch. A guard stood their and smiled too. "You will die in here with your bastard of a son!" He said laughing. "No!" I ran towards the hatch and the guards shut and locked it quickly. "NO!" I scream kicking and banging on the door. I started crying. I ran over to Kaitlin and she stood their white, more than normal.
"What's going on!?" I yelled at her.
"I uh I don't know" she started crying. I jumped up and hugged her and she hugged me. Both of us crying in eachothers arms. "We were tricked, by... the rebels!" Kaitlin said through the sobs.
I felt fear creep into my head, "What will happen to Nicholas? Will he think that I am dead?"
"No! No! I will get you out of here!" Kaitlin said.
We both sat on the floor sobbing.
