The Ball Night

A New Jack

The Kings P.O.V

I slammed my fist down at the table. My kingdom is in near rubble, my soldiers are dying by the minute and Prince Francis won't listen to reason! I've tried before this damn war began, and he refused to believe that Catherine was robbed from me. His words repeated in my head, haunting me.

"She's my wife, I will destroy your kingdom piece by piece until I have found her." He said to me.

I've realized, after two months of this pathetic war, that it's my fault. I was blind to what Catherine wanted, I only wanted what I believed what's good for her. Enable to rule this kingdom, she must have the necessities to do so, and the number one off the bat was to marry a Prince.

I chuckled, remembering how everyone of those princes denied my daughters marriage, for she won't utter a word out to them. And so, they thought that a silent Queen is best suited for them, however a silent wife is not what they expected.

My train of thoughts trailed back to the war. Catherine is a smart girl, I know it in my heart that she's out there, alive and probably with Jack, who's highly protective of her.

A knock at the door interrupted my thoughts once again. I told them to come in, and it was Prince Jacob, dressed in his military uniform. He's the general over his small fleet of soldiers over in Italy, small yes, but fierce.

"My king, the west barricade has been destroyed and my men are standing guard around the perimeter of the north entrance of the castle. While, our spies are still around the woods and cities, looking for the princess." Jacob stated.

I brushed down my beard with my fingers, nodding to his sayings. Everything is going according to plan, good.

"My King?" Asked Prince Jacob.

"Jacob, send out the three waves of soldiers to the forest now, its the only place where Catherine and her real husband could be hiding. I could not bare to think that they...died in the rubble." I said, looking down at the giant red circle in the woods on the map.

"Yes, my King." Jacob bowed and excused himself.

I raised a eyebrow, his departure was rather strange and serious, but I soon forgot and paid attention to the map once more.

Jacobs P.O.V

Damn that king! How dare he say that Catherine's "real husband" was that fiend creature Jack! I'm here real husband! Not Jack or that son of a bitch Prince Francis, I'm her true love and she deserves to be my Queen!

I will round up my fleet, done what needs to be done and go according to my plan, kill the King and Prince.

Jacks P.O.V
Samuel's soldiers and I round up our things early in the morning and moved out. Catherine and I were in the back of the group, feeling much safer this way. While hiking up, Catherine suddenly grabs me by the elbow and pulls me towards her. The group were moving farther away from us and I curiously look at Catherine.

"They're gone now, no one will see us." She stated.

I shook my head, uneasy about her statement. I pulled us near a giant tree and pressed Catherine against it. I smiled and leaned closer towards her.

"Now no one can see us." I flirtatiously said as Catherine giggled, blushing.

She wraps her hand around the back of my head and leaned in to kiss me.

Philips P.O.V
Oh man, I was way behind the group now! I got tired and decided to rest for a bit and now I lost track of the group. I hurried my way up the hill, my heart hurting with tiresome.
