When I opened my eyes, I saw that I was on a hard table, in a cold, musty, little shack by the beach. My hands were somehow tied up above my
head, and I couldn't get loose. Then I heard a voice from outside. "I see you're awake. You should probably lie down. You hit your head pretty
hard." I saw Jared coming in. He wore a wretched smile on his face. I didn't like it."Um, no, I think you'd better take me home now." I
said. "We can go home later." He said coming closer to me. "Well, my curfew is at 9:00, and I don't want to get in trouble." I said trying to hide
the growing fear in my voice. "Will they really be mad if you're two minutes late? you've got a half hour till 9. We've got time." He Said coming even
closer to where I lay. "They're pretty strict." I lied, knowing Kuru would forgive me in this situation. "Well, they'll just have to deal with it." He
said an inch away from my face now. Before I could protest, he kissed me; hard and rough on my lips. When he finally released my mouth, I
spoke, "Ow! That hurt! Please don't kiss me so hard. You've bruised my lip!" He stood there a moment before slapping me straight across the
face and saying, "I'll kiss you however I want, so be a good little girl, AND HUSH UP!" I was getting really scared. He came over me to kiss me
again, but I saw my opportunity, and kicked him in the chest. I scrambled off the table, my hands still tied, and tried to run out the door; but he
was up in an instant, and he laid me back down, tying my hands even tighter. His kisses soon left my mouth and traveled to my neck. I felt so dirty, lying there.
I would never be able to live without my dignity and innocence. What would my family think? And my friends? And Kuru! As his
kisses quickly progressed southward, I began to call for Amanda, or Mum, or Zoe even. At this point, I don't think I would have minded if J.B. or
Taylor, or Dad, or Kuru saved me. I didn't want this, and I wanted out.
Kuru's P.O.V.
I was signing papers in the throne room, like any other ordinary evening,when I heard a trumpet of distress from out side the window.
Perhaps Anala needed more strawberries or dates; but when I saw the look on her face, I dropped all the paper fro my hands and
ran to the window. Anala beckoned me down, so I jumped from the window onto her noble back. "the Princess." I muttered. It was all I could
soon as I landed on Anala's back, I was no longer in Manjipoor, but on one of the beaches of the Gold Coast where a party was taking
place.. I searched and searched, but she was not at the party, nor anywhere that I could see. Then I heard a cry from a familiar voice," HELP!
PLEASE! PLEASE DON'T!" That was all I needed, I ran off in that direction.
I saw a small shack and went toward it. I peered through the small window, and the sight that met my eyes, was indescribably horrendous. I saw the
Princess, Alex, being pinned down by a rough looking man. He pushed her knees back, and she kicked his chest. He fell back and hit his head on the wall. I
almost smiled in spite of my anxiety and concern for Alex. She was indeed strong. But now he was up again; with rage and hatred in his eyes. And a look that
could only be interpreted as craving.I saw Alex, My Princess, close her eyes, not wanting to see any more as he came almost upon her. Yes, she closed her
eyes, but I could tell by her voice that she would not give up. Neither would I. He pushed her knees back again coarsely and walked toward her. I just couldn't
stand it anymore...
Alex's P.O.V.
When he, um, unclothed himself, I closed my eyes. Of course, he had already torn my dress into shreds I'm sure; but I didn't have the nerve or strength to look.
The halter part had been ripped off, and the once knee-length dress, was now much shorter. I could feel him getting closer. It felt
warm to be near him, but I still shivered. I waited there. It would only take one moment. One little moment, and all I could do was sit and wait for it to happen.
I gasped, and tried to scream, but he smacked my face. I didn't care; it took his mind off of his intentions, if only for a moment. I heard a voice. " STOP!" It
commanded. Whoever it was, I was glad because he did stop to look at the person speaking. I heard swimming voices after that, and Jared let go of me. A few
minutes later, I was being picked up and carried. I kicked and screamed, but I blacked out soon after that.
Kuru's P.O.V.
I just couldn't stand it anymore... I threw open the door to the shack. "STOP!" I yelled, " HOW DARE YOU DEFILE THE PRINCESS!" " Princess? I don't see any
princesses." He said mockingly. I had to use all my willpower not to kill him on the spot. " THE ONE LYING BEFORE YOU, WHOM YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO
MISUSE!" I yelled back. It was getting harder to refrain from killing this monster of a man. " Alex? Alex is definitely not a princess. What sort of princess would
do this?" He sneered. " I feel certain that she did not do so of her own will." I said, trying to calm my voice. "How would you know that?" He asked. "I could ask
her." I stated matter-of-factually. "She could lie." He said with the same tone. I almost laughed at that statement. " Ah, that is where you're wrong. A princess
never lies." I said proudly. "Perhaps you'd like to join the party then. I'm done with this -(A/n Word that I'm not allowed to use, but bad guys say this, so...).
Or if you'd rather, my sister is outside." He says with no emotion. How could he not feel a thing?! It was beyond me. But I spoke," I would never do such a
thing to any person, girl or woman. And I would not wish this on anyone; even you. And especially not the Princess!" I said with contempt. Ah well, I thought
this one might suit you." He said pointing to Alex. " She is a person, not a toy! and I am sorry you do not value your sister more than a common slave." I said
disdainfully.
