Chapter one GARNET
Terror flooded my body making my flesh heat til I was sweating. My hands and feet are cuffed to a chain on the wall. My head was pounding. The last thing I remember is Kuja and Zidane fighting and a sharp pain on my skull.
"Princess, I see you have awoken." Kuja's voice was tamer then usual.
"Let me go, where are my friends?" I felt the heat rising on the back of my neck,
"My dear Princess I can not. They are safe in Alexandria, just as you are safe here." Kuja came in the holding cell, kneeling next to me, "My,my, how gorgeous you really are."
"Back away from me!"
"Princess, please, do not fight, it will get you nowhere. I to the job your mother offered to get t you. Now that I have you I will see to your happiness." he looked at me intensely,"Please let me have you til your friends come, if you still wish to go with them you may, til then, be mine?"
He looked into my eyes as he took a key off the wall inches from me. "Princess, you were never my prisoner. I just did this s you could not fight me, do you wish to go to your room now?" He unlocked the cuffs that hung around my wrist and ankles.
"My room?"I looked at him with confusion filling my eyes.
"Yes, you are NOT my prisoner." He grabbed my hands and pulled me to my feet," Please do not try to run away, my castle is in the middle of the desert continent oceans away from yours, and there are many horrid creatures. Yet they would be the least of your worries, for I am mos unpleasant when I am disobeyed." He gave me a dark look before turning and leading me to my room.
His castle was bigger then any castle I'd seen before. It was decorated with the finest marble, Their were statues of angels that gave it an eerie feeling.
"Your castle is beautiful" I complemented." Is it just you here?" My curiosity got the best of me.
"Yes, and now you, I find myself very busy. No use in having useless company." He turned and half smiled making my heart tinge.
I mentally scolded myself for letting that get to me. I stayed silent though I was screaming on the inside. I want to break down into tears I hope my friends, Zidane, Steiner, Vivi, Freya,and Quina come soon.
KUJA
She lingered away from me; not saying a word. I could see the sadness in her eyes. Yet, I can not let her go now that I finally have her. I came to the doors of her room and hesitated for only a moment.
"Princess, I hope you will find this most accommodating to suit your needs. If not, say the word, and it shall be fixed."
She looked from the wall meeting my gaze, "May I ask a question?"
"Of course."
"Why are there statues everywhere?" she motioned.
"I find them quite beautiful, yet, not quite as beautiful as the angel I brought here today." I looked at her and saw she wasn't getting it, "Here I shall show her to you." I grabbed her hand and turned her so she was facing the wall of mirrors, "This is my angel, Garnet." My heart nearly stopped as she turned and blushed.
"I am Dagger now" she recovered.
"Dagger? it is cute, yet it is too harsh for a gem." We stood for a moment gazing into each others eyes, "This is your room... Dagger" I opened the door as I turned to watch her face shift in awe.
"Oh, my, this is gorgeous!" She put her hands over her mouth as she looked around.
"Glad you like it. I will leave you now, make yourself at home. I will return shortly when dinner is ready." I reluctantly shut her in the room as I walked down the stairs away from the great beauty.
