Chapter 3

Zahara's Past

General P.O.V.

After a while, Zahara woke up in the boy's arms. She thought that his eyes were the most beautiful that she had ever seen. She immediately recognized his clothing and slowly tugged on his shirt to get his attention. He looked at her gently, eyes with relief and something else that Zahara could not place.

" You're awake, thank goodness. I was afraid that you would not make it." Zahara gave the boy a soft smile before she spoke. " It seems that even the Prince is worried about me. Would you please take me home? I would greatly appreciate it." He nodded as Zahara led him to her house. Her parents looked worried as he explained what happened as they took her upstairs and treated her wounds.

After her father put the covers over her to let her rest, they went outside the room to talk, not knowing that Zahara was listening. The Prince was the first to speak. " So, are you going to tell me who those people were, and why they attacked your daughter?" Her mother sighed before she explained. " They are some of the village children. Their leader, Haru, is the elder's son and they're always tormenting her for being different from the others. She is a special child, but the other villagers don't see it that way. All they see is a freak."

She sighed as she looked towards the door before she turned back to the Prince. " She used to come home bleeding every day, but she would tell us that it was nothing. She didn't want us to worry about her and focus on making enough to stay in the village. She eventually told us what was going on. Needless to say, we worried about her more, but she insisted that she could take care of herself. She hasn't been this injured since six years ago. I only wish there was something that we could do to protect her from getting hurt all the time. It's so hard to see her come home hurt every day, even if she insists that she's fine."

She was crying and her husband was comforting her before he spoke. " It's not just her looks that cause her to get hurt. She has special powers that set her apart from the others. One of which she can't control. She may insist that she's fine, but deep down, I know that she just wants a friend who can accept her for who she is." The Prince nodded in acceptance before he spoke. " I don't know if it will help, but I think I have an idea."
