"Can it Liz!" Aislynn said, not wanting to remember her royal past. "No, Aislynn, stop shoving him away." "Shut up!" Aislynn shouted, she rarely shouted at Lizzie, but it was necessary. "I don't want to face him, he ruined my life."

Jem had gone without food or water for five days now and it was killing him. His stomach growled and he hugged himself tighter. Then he heard the keys jingle in the lock and found himself staring up into the familiar blue eyes of Will Herondale. He threw himself at his considered brother and Will excepted the bony hug.

"James, what has she done to you?"

"Nothing too terrible." Then Jem's stomach growled and he hugged himself, the pains of hunger getting to him. He bent over, stumbling towards the wall.

"James!" said Will in alarm.

"What?" Jem said weakly.

"Are you alright?"

"I'll survive." Jem lied, his head was spinning. He stood up straight and walked over to Will, who was still in shock.

"William, if I don't make it-" He was cut off by hunger pains, giving Will the opportunity to interject.

"Don't talk like that. I'll talk to her."

"You don't have to. . ." Jem moaned and doubled over, causing Will to worry more.

"James," Will knelt down by Jem's side and placed a hand on his shoulder, only to have him roll away.

"Go Will. Just, go." Will obeyed and walked out, leaving Jem on the floor in the brig.

Aislynn was sitting in her room with Lizzie and Lexi while she read The Princess Bride for the hundredth time, when there was a knock. Aislynn fixed her bandanna and sighed.

"Come in!" Will walked in and bowed.

"What is it Herondale?"

"It's the Prince. He's not doing so well."

"Explain."

"He's starving and is going through hunger pains."

"I see. Leave so I can think something over. Shoo!" She shooed Will out of the room and turned to see an angry Lizzie and Lexi.

"What?"

"Really? Why are you doing this to him?"

"He challenged me!"

"How so?"

"He figured out about my past."

Lexi looked confused. "Huh?"

"Leave, Lex, me and Lizzie must discuss this matter ourselves."

"Yes Dumort." Lexi said before leaving. Aislynn turned to Elizabeth and glared.

"You told him. Didn't you?" Elizabeth nodded and Aislynn's hand flew. Lizzie flinched and Aislynn lowered her hand.

"It's getting worse Liz, I can't control my anger much more than I can you."

"You'll learn. But the way you're treating him is unnecessary."

"I know, but I can't bring myself to face him."

"Ever since you ran, you've run from him. Why?"

"Cat it Liz!" Aislynn said, not wanting to remember her royal past.

"No, Aislynn, stop shoving him away."

"Shut up!" Aislynn shouted, she rarely shouted at Lizzie, but it was necessary.

"I don't want to face him, he ruined my life."

"Wait, so he was your betrothed?"

"SHUT UP!" Aislynn shouted, her and flew and caused Lizzie to flinch again.

Crack, Crack!

Aislynn slapped Lizzie across the face twice before suddenly backing up in fear. Lizzie gently touched a hand to her face and winced. Aislynn curled in on herself ad Lizzie rounded the table, walking over to Aislynn.

"No, Liz, stay back." Aislynn had started to shake, fear overtaking her. Lizzie knelt down in front of her and tried to calm her friend down.

"Just, talk to him. I won't tell anybody about this. I swear it on the Angel's name."

"That's what you said last time."

"I won't this time, okay?"

"Yeah." Lizzie left and Aislynn stood, throwing on her bandanna and coat. Her coat was pure black with silver embroidery.

Jem was laying on the floor when he heard the lock click and a figure wearing a dark coat walked in. The figure crouched down and laid a tray in front of him, looking up. Jem found himself gazing into the familiar blue-green eyes of Aislynn.

"Eat." She said, her tone of voice gentle, as if talking to a cat that she might spook. Jem sat up and spooned some of the fish stew into his mouth. He closed his eyes and savored the warm stew as he swallowed.

"I'm sorry, Prince." Jem looked up, stew dripping down his chin, he had forgotten she was there.

"It's alright Dumort."

"Aislynn." She corrected.

"What?"

"Call me Aislynn. Please."

"Aye, aye, Captain." Jem said before shoving another scoop of stew into his mouth. once he finished, Jem looked up to see Aislynn extending a hand. He took it and she helped him to stand.

"You will be staying in the guest quarters until we get back to Idris."

"Thanks, I guess."

"Let me show you there, then Will will give you a tour." Jem nodded and followed Aislynn to his quarters. They soon stopped in front of a door and Aislynn nodded.

"There is a bath ready for you. William will be waiting for you once you get out. Jem nodded and thanked her before she left.

Aislynn stormed back to her quarters, angrily slamming the door. She threw her detached sword belt against the wall loudly. Then she suddenly clutched her head. Her curse was worsening, causing her to constantly fight herself. She released her head and grabbed The Princess Bride flinging it against the wall. She let loose a small cry and and toppled forward, Yanluo's voice echoing in her head.

"Bring the boy to me and I will lift your curse."

"How do I know you're not lying?"

"Just bring him." Then there was a knock at her door. She didn't answer, causing the knocking to continue.

"Go away!"

"Are you okay?" Asked Gideon's voice from the other side.

"I'm just dandy, now shoo!" Gideon's footsteps receded and Aislynn sighed in relief before she was slammed with a headache. She collapsed and pinched the bridge of her nose. Then the world started to spin and Aislynn's vision started to dim before going completely black.

Elizabeth looked down at her necklace, on which hung a one and a half inch watch in disguise of a locket. She hadn't seen Aislynn in over an hour and started to worry. Then she heard some noises and sent Gideon down to investigate. Once he returned, Gideon looked confused.

"So?"

"It's the Captain, ma'am. She claims that she's fine, but I'm not exactly believing." Elizabeth thought that over before shoving past him. She stomped down the stairs and whirled around the corner, stomping up to Aislynn's door. There was no response to her first knock, so she knocked again. Still no response, so Lizzie opened the door to see Aislynn lying on her side, unconscious. Lizzie touched two fingers to the side of her neck, breathing a sigh of relief when she felt the light flutter of Aislynn's pulse against her fingertips. She gently shook her friend.

"Aislynn, Aislynn wake up." She only continued to rest, causing Lizzie to heave an annoyed sigh. She lifted Aislynn onto her bed, a little puzzled by her weight. She dismissed every thought that came to mind before leaving. In the corridor, Elizabeth ran into Jem's suddenly opened door.

"Ouch." She said, putting a hand up to her nose. Her fingers came away red and she mouthed the word, 'Ow' before Jem walked out.

"Oh! Elizabeth, I didn't see you there, I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize. You're new. Now, I'm gonna go to my room and we shall never speak of this. Okay?"

"Yes ma'am." Lizzie walked around him and continued towards her quarters.
