The Girl Who Became Queen

Priceless

I wake up, I'm back into my human form, I try to feel for Chris but he's not there, I fractically get up, not too quickly though, I'm so close to going into labor, I don't want it to happen to me on this ship, then I feel a *CRACK* in my back, it hurts so much, it feels like my back's bleeding but it's not, and the door swings open, there are men rushing at me, they tackle me to the ground, I scream loudly, I feel a presence in the room, but then it fades as the men tie me up and carry me away.

My back still hurts, they dropped me off at a dark room, it smells like salt, I hear footsteps coming towards me, I stand up, the footsteps came to a stop and a figure appeared, the figure took one more step, and I could see their face, it was the man who cut me earlier and tried to transfuse my blood with his, I felt I wanted to cry, I wanted to scream, I really didn't know what to do at this point but not look at my children, I love them very much, but I shouldn't put them in danger for my actions, the man looks at me straight in the eyes, he changes his eye colors many times, various, numerous times, until he stops, his eyes are gold, he looks like a dragon with those eyes, scary, piercing my soul, then he speaks with a voice that just shatters your hopes and dreams, "The orders from the Captian have changed by alot, he said as of this morning we take your husband here, (A window is opened annd light shines through onto a pole, there's a man chained on the post and a man behind him holding a whip, the man on the pole has been hit once already with the whip, the man on the pole looks over to me, and I instantly start to cry, it's Chris.) the Captian said that you had insufficent funds in your acount, (No, No, That's not true, it can't be, we are royalty, we've got all the money in the kingdom, this really can't be, unless....) well, I can see you have alot on your mind but, the Captian said if you could pay the price, and now that you can't pay the price, we torture you until we, or the captian feels that you have payed up, and I'm looking forward into torturing you the most." Chris yells, he says, "STOP! DON;'T TORTURE HER, IF YOU LAY A HAND ON HER, I WILL HAVE MY MEN FROM MY KINGDOM COME AFTER YOU, TORTURE YOU, BREAK YOUR BONES AND BEHEAD YOU, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, SO IF YOU WANT, TORTURE ME INSTEAD OF HER, I'LL DO DOUBLE, JUST LEAVE HER ALONE!" Chris looks down, and he looks at me, straight in the eyes, and he sheds a single tear, and he whispers, "Je Ta'ime Rose." The scary man speaks again, "We're going to dock tomorrow morning in Hylogrik, So, Yeah..... GRIM! YOU CAN START NOW!" I Scream, "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Chris speaks to me quickly, "Just close your eyes, and sing a tune you love, sing hushabye mountian for me, it will be done soon, it'll be done in seconds, and I swear, when we dock tomorrow we're going to get a horse and we'll ride throught the night to get to Babylon, and forget these Idiots, I'll be fine." and he shuts off his signal to me, I do as he said, and I close my eyes and I start singing,

"A gentle breeze from Hushabye Mountain

Softly blows for Lullabye Bay.

It fills the sails of boats that are waiting,

Waiting to sail your worries away.

It isn't far to Hushabye Mountain,

And your boat waits down by the key.

The winds of night so softly are sighing.

Soon they will fly your troubles to sea.

So close your eyes on Hushabye Mountain.

Wave goodbye to cares of the day.

Watch your boat from Hushabye Mountain

Sail far away for Lullabye Bay."

The scary man touches me, I wiggle him off of me, and I scream, "STOP IT YOU PERV." He hits me in the face and tells me, "I TOUCHED YOU BECAUSE MY MOTHER USED TO SING THAT SONG TO ME, AND YOU SOUNDED JUST LIKE HER, SHE DIED YEARS AGO, SO THANKS, AND DON'T DISOBEY ME EVER, YOU'RE NOW MY SLAVE UNTIL YOU'RE OFF THIS SHIP, I DON'T CARE IF I DIE TO BEHEADIMENT, I JUST WANT TO TORTURE YOU, I WANT YOU, SO, SO, BADLY........."
