Katie's brown eyes began to open, adjusting to the surrounding light. She was lying on a nice soft feather bed, in some kind of royal chamber room. Fire torches were lit around the stone walls. There was a dresser, a desk, and a mirror. There was even large crystal glass door that led out to a small balcony. She blinked her eyes wondering if this was a dream. She slowly got up to closer inspect her surroundings. Just then she heard talking outside. "Sir, she's going to wake up any minute," the low voice said.
"I know you fool, the drugs will fade off," Neville's voice caused Katie to cringe. Her heart began to pound incessantly.
"I am just saying we should have a guard outside her room, or else she might see the door wide open and run," the other voice explained.
"Then her future husband will calm her down," Neville answered hotly.
"With all due respect, your highness, she is scared out of her mind; you did kidnap her."
Katie paused and snuck up to the door, cracking it open to peek through - she saw Neville and someone else, a taller young man with glasses who looked oddly familiar. They continued their conversation.
Neville was getting furious, his face an unflattering shade of tomato. "That does not matter, she is the lost princess," Neville shouted. "She is destined to be my bride!"
"You can't force someone…" the taller man spoke but was cut off instantly.
"I don't want to hear anymore!" Neville said, rudely shoving him. "She has no choice. I'm her life now!"
Katie blinked listening to the last thing Neville said. "I'm her life now?" What did he mean by that? Should I run or wait to find out more? Katie sucked in a deep breath, deciding to let her legs decide for themselves, and then bolted through the door, causing a loud bang. The young men jumped out of their skin. Neville growled, storming after her. "You can run, but you can't hide honey!" he bellowed. Katie kept running. I'll be doing both, thank you very much!
