Chapter 1
"Just kill me now. Please." Tears were streaming down her face. "Kill me. It hurts." The girl was sprawled across the stone steps of the palace. Her eyes couldn't focus, and her skin was hot and clammy. A boy stood over her, concerned. He picked her up, and she flopped like a wet rag. The girl's cries of pain were piercing. The boy carried her into the palace.
"Please. Kill me. Kill me." She was hyperventilating. The girl was quite beautiful, really. Her hair was pulled back in long dark ringlets that toppled off her shoulders and cascaded down her back. Her eyes were the deepest shade of violet and seemed to take up most of her face. She had sharp eye brows that plunged down and defined her high cheekbones and delicate jawline. Her body was barely covered. She wore a pair of short black shorts, and a black shirt. Her bare toes were freezing compared to her burning skin.
"Killmekillmekillmekillme." Her voice was frantic and one of pain.
The boy picked her up off the steps and carried her into the castle. She whimpered and moaned at her plethora of pain. He placed her on the bed and he could see the tears falling down her cheeks. The girl was acting like she was lying on her deathbed, but He could see that it wasn't. she wasn't going to die, not yet.
The boy whispered, "It's all going to be okay," just before the girl fell asleep in her pain and fears.
