She was running as fast as her legs would go. Her lungs burned, like they had caught fire. Her bare feet getting cut and scraped by the forests floor. The sound of her heart beat in her ears. She so badly wanted to stop to catch her breath.
She couldn't stop though. They would catch her if she did. She couldn't afford to get caught by them. If only she hadn't snuck off from her guards. She wouldn't be in this predicament.
The more she ran the more her body grew tired. She started seeing in tunnel vision, causing her to trip over a tree root. She fell to the ground panting, trying to get as mush air into her lungs as possible. She used the last of her strength to flip over into her back just in time to see the group that was after her. The lack of air had caused the edges of her vision to become black and what she could she was fuzzy, making it hard to see anything.
"Finally grew tired I see. I guess being a daughter of the Elder has made you vulnerable." says the leader. She heard a sword being drawn. "(Y/N) your head has a hefty reward for anyone who takes it." he says. She closes her eyes getting ready for the inevitable, but it never came. She opened her eyes and saw a man with long purple hair standing between her and the group of assassins and that was the last thing she saw before falling completely unconscious.
Sinbad had fought off the group of assassins that were trying to kill the daughter of the Elder. He turned to the girl and took in her appearance. The island Elder had asked him to find his third eldest daughter. He never had imagined her to look this beautiful. He gently picked her up and began carrying her back home.
The whole time Ja'far, Mystras, and Hinahoho tried to talk to him and ask what he was doing. He kept walking determined to get her back home. Something drew him to her. Though he couldn't explain what it was.
Could it have been her flawless (S/T) skin? Her (H/L) (H/C) hair? Or was it her (E/C) eyes? He wished he knew. Whenever he looked at her he felt different. She was different from other woman.
They had finally reached the Elder's palace, where he stood waiting. He ordered his servants to take (Y/N) to her room. (Y/N) was taken from Sinbad's arms and brought inside. The Elder was thanking him for bringing his daughter back. Sinbad looked at the Elder.
"Could I wait with her until she wakes?" he asks the Elder.
"I think it best if we left her be. She needs all the rest she can get." says the Elder.
"Very well. Then shall we discuss our partnership?" asks Sinbad. The Elder brings Sinbad into his throne room to have the discussion. As they talked Sinbad couldn't help, but have a nagging feeling in the back of his mind. He hoped that she would wake soon.
~A bit later~
(Y/N) woke up in her bed. She was glad that she was still alive. Then she thought of that man that saved her. Who was he? What was he doing out there and why did he save her?
As she thought about all of this she got out of bed and dressed in something clean. She even put on her sandals... for once. She walked out of her room and walked towards her fathers throne room.
The whole was there she thought about that man. Even though she didn't have a good look at him. Something was pulling her to him. She wondered if he was still here. Would she ever get to thank him for saving her?
She walked into her fathers throne room to see him shaking hands with the purple haired man. Once her father noticed her presence he stopped shaking the younger mans hand. Her father walked over to her and hugged her. She, however, just stared at the man. Her father broke the hug and turned back to Sinbad.
"(Y/N) this is Sinbad. I've just agreed to join his trading company. I want you to go with him and represent the island." says her father. "I want you to officially meet my third eldest daughter. This is (Y/N). (Y/N) Sinbad." Sinbad walks over to her and takes one of her hands into his. He looks into her eyes.
"It's a pleasure to finally meet you (Y/N)."
"Same to you Sinbad. I wanted to thank you for saving me." she says.
"Anything for you." he says.
