betrayal crown dark fantasy kidnapping kings mystery princess royal shadows thriller

All of a sudden the door creaks open. I scramble out from underneath the covers and stare into Raymon's dark soulless eyes. "What is it?" I question, as Raymond takes a menacing step forward. "I just got a call that's been broadcasted across Ashuria. You're the most wanted person right now, and the reward is worth a king's ransom. My blood goes cold, and every inch of my body is paralyzed from the hip down. Raymond steps closer. The glint of a dagger flashing ominously in the dim light. "Now, now," he says, his voice dripping with malice, "wouldn't you be a dear and hold very still?"

A young girl named Amy Caddel has run away from her royal heritage and is now living with an Ashurian Veteran named Raymond. Amy has to do everything Raymond says without question, and never question his integrity. When she finds out that her father has been kidnapped, and her brother is now taking the throne. Amy wants to find her father, and reason with her brother to stop being so power-hungry. But Amy is meddling in things she shouldn't be. Will Amy be able to get out of this nightmare alive? Or will her royal heritage always haunt her?

Hidden Princess by Queeyana254

"Ah your majesty, I guess you might be wondering why I am here to torture the hell out of you right? It is all simple, I am here for nothing but to seek revenge.

She's not dead, neither is her mother, but her father on the other hand, wasn't spared from your sword. With it slicing through his intestines and I watching it on my mother's back. "Do you know how that affects a child? Seeing their precious father being murdered right in front of her eyes. You thought that you buried us six feet underground. Well jokes on you. Those were dummies that my mother created to fool you. We buried my father in a funeral only of us two," she said wiping away a stray tear, "You know, it is always said, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth ... and a life for a life." She tightened her grip on the king's throat and he groaned out loud in pain. The bones on his backbone cracked slowly under the immense force. Daryl had seen the whole thing. From what she had said, she had every right to take his father's life away, but, he didn't want her to have any blood in her hands. "Tatyana! Please don't kill my father. I know you have every reason to, but please, don't kill him." He broke the silence that had surrounded the room with his plea. Tatyana threw a glance at him and her heart ached at the sight of him like that. She had come all this way, what was left was just to snap his neck, and all would be over. Will she do it?

You have been warned Story is also found on Quotev under my user GrassHopperGreen #13 in Kidnapping: 18 September 2018 #5 in Kidnapping: 29 December 2018 ------------------------ With force, the cloth was placed over my mouth and nose and I tried to hold my breath but when a sweet voice spoke in my ear, it made me take in a breath as I felt a hand slide up my dress, the man's hands rubbing up and down my leg. The smell was sweat, and I couldn't stop from breathing it in. In a matter of minutes, I started to feel light headed. The man's voice repeating inside my head like it was a record tap that was broken and repeating the same song over and over again. "Your all mine now." With that, I allowed the darkness to consume me. Sequel is out: Hidden
