Love conquers all but death takes all. ------------------------------ "Trying to leave so fast?" a deep voice questioned as a man stepped out from behind the shadows. As he appeared in the light, I caught a glimpse of his face. Tanned with slight stubble, he was dressed in all black. His brown eyes seemed so warm yet so full of terror that I felt myself take a step back in fear. He was undeniably attractive, his hair pushed back and his muscles prominent through his black shirt. He circled around me with a cruel smile on his face, a short dagger in his hand covered in mesmerizing scriptures. As he pressed the blade into his thumb, his eyes moved from the blade to my face. "So, young princess. How do you explain your presence?" he asked, stalking towards me, tantalizingly. My eyes were glued to his eyes, and I felt the warm feeling of butterflies in my stomach. Electricity crackled between us, the purple veins giving us life as he stepped closer. Mesmerized, I remained silent, my eyes wide with awe. My hands stuck to my sides and my knees glued to the stone, cold floor. What was happening to me? ------------------------------ When Princess Ayeesha of the Jarula kingdom is captured by the Karians, she will do anything to get back to her family.
