Y/N's POV

I was eventually able to cry myself to sleep. After I woke up, I looked down at my wrists.

That damn prince.

He blames me for his father's death!

They killed my mother! Not to mention my father as well! So I can say that we're even.

Nausea started to kick in as I feel the ship rocking back and forth. I held my stomach as I hurled on the floor. I wiped my mouth while I started stumbling backwards.

I fell and my head hit the cell bars behind me. I instantly lose consciousness once again.

~~~•~~~

I woke up in a chair with the inability to move my hands or feet. The sunlight blinded me as my eyes tried to re-adjust to my surroundings.

At that moment I realized I was outside, on the deck of the ship, surrounded by guards. My eyes shot open to observe the predicament I was in.

There before me stood the king's sons'.

"Princess Y/N. Nice to make your acquaintance. I'm Prince Jimin. Soon to be crowned king, now that my father has been murdered." I looked down at my lap due to his comment.

"This is my younger brother, Prince Taehyung. He is the one that captured you." I looked up to meet Taehyung's eyes.

I started to squirm in my seat realizing that the rope was digging into my burned wrists.

"You." My eyes narrowed.

"Oh, I see that you two have already met."

"Yup. We're best friends." Taehyung said sarcastically.

Little did they know, I found a way to occupy myself in my cell. Sharpening anything I could find. As the princes' were rubbing their victory in my face, I was cutting away at the rope behind me with a rock that I had fixed to my liking.

"So what are we going to do with her hyung?" Taehyung asked.

Jimin looked at his little brother a bit shocked. "What we always do. We are still going to go through with the plan."

"What?! Why?! She was the cause of our father's death!" Taehyung screamed angrily.

"Taehyung calm down."

Oh good. At least one prince finds me innocent.

"I know she is." 

My heart shattered at his words.

"No, no, no..." I mumbled to myself while struggling to break free.

"Pathetic." Taehyung stated.

Just as the rope broke, I noticed something. The princes were wearing coats. As if they were cold. Then I looked around. There was ice. Everywhere. I was wondering why I was so comfortable. My powers might work.

I let the rope drop but I kept my hands behind me trying to not make it obvious that I was free. I rubbed my injured wrists as I felt my blood starting to boil. I clenched my teeth remembering the pain Taehyung put me through.

Jimin's POV

I noticed anger start to form on the Y/N's face. I moved towards Taehyung.

"Don't anger her Taehyung." I whispered in his ear. He scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Oh please, she's-" 

He was cut off mid-sentence by screaming. We both turned startled to see all the guards flying over board.

The princess turned towards us breathing heavily.

"You did this to me!" She screamed holding her arms up. 

My eyes widened at her severely burned wrists now on display.

Who did that to her? 

I then realized who she was looking at.

"Kim Taehyung, did you-"

"Yeah. I did." 

I gasped in disbelief as my eyes returned to the angry princess in front of us.

"You took everything I had! Everything I loved!" Tears were pouring from her face. "Now, I'm simply just going to return the favor."

Y/N aimed her hand towards me. She blasted me, sending me over the edge. I heard Taehyung screaming as I fell.

Once I hit the water, the cold water engulfed me in a never-ending darkness. I couldn't do anything else but have the urge to close my eyes.

I shivered as the water got colder and darker. I stopped fighting my heavy eyelids and let them close.
