How could he do such a cruel thing to me?! I cried into my arms and felt the tears drip down my arm. I had to stop him, what else could I do? There was a loud knock on my door, then it slammed open. There stood Prince Edgar, his hands behind his back. "You never walk out of a meeting like that." He lectured, "Next time your show such a behavior, it's to the torture room with you!" I wiped my tears with my sleeve and looked up at him, my eyes were probably very red. "Why do you care if I love him? Doesn't it show you anything that I've stayed here?" Edgar frowned, "You can't leave, ever." He cupped my chin with his hand, "You're mine." I stood up and slapped him across the face, oops. He grasped my hand and I crumpled to the ground in pain. "I--will---never be--yours." His frown deepened. "You've always been mine, and now you shall be punished." He snapped and when I expected to be dead, two guards showed up at the door. They quickly took my arms and chained them behind my back and dragged me out to the carriage, Edgar appeared on the seat next to me. "Oh dear, you're a mess." He said, flashing a mirror at my face. My hair was loose and crazy from the drag and damp from the rain. My eyes were red in pure agony. "Oh well, you'll have to do." He said, crossing his legs. I tried to keep my mind quiet, for it was as good as speaking out loud. I felt the ground rumble beneath us, "Where are we going?" I asked him, trying to sound calm. "On our little assassination." He smiled crudely.
I flinched, "Please...please don't do this." He simply smiled in delight, "Oh how I love your cute little begging. But nothing is changing." Soon we came to a stop, at a huge mansion. They dragged me out of the carriage and shoved me into the house. I refused to walk, so they just dragged me, letting my dress get all muddy. When we entered the maids looked up and shock at the army before them. I cried as the Vildarnians killed the innocent souls, then they dragged me up the stairs. I saw Ben in his bed reading a book, still in his uniform. He jumped up when he saw the armed soldiers, then he saw me. I felt my chains unlock and the next thing I knew I was next to him, "Oh dear. Tsk-tsk-tsk. I'm sorry, but say goodbye to your true love for your death is today." Edgar chuckled. I looked at Ben in the eyes, "I love you..." He kissed me, then I was teleported back in chains on the wall. This was anti-Magic chains, it was nearly impossible for me to escape. "Ben!" I screamed, thrashing and kicking against the chains strength. I heard a gasp and my name then a clunk and watched as Ben became a corpse. Tears flowed from my eyes and I cried, "No! No!" I screamed, some of the guards actually looked guilty and pitiful of me. That's it. Ben was dead...
