Midnight- ok here's another chapter for sheryzel? I feel like this story isn't getting many readers unlike my other stories. Oh well it's not my loss. I own nothing.
Escape
Akiza's POV
I woke up in a very damp and decay smelling cave. I wanted to rub my sore head, but I found out my hands were tied and I ended up punching myself in the eye. Instead I got up and found that difficult as well. I fell on my face. I looked around and saw two guys around my age asleep then it clicked.
Last night I was here with these two and I told my story kind of. I kept looking around until my eyes settled on the burning embers of last night's bonfire. I dragged myself over and put my hands near the embers and after a while the rope burned a little, but enough for it to weaken and I pulled my hands and broke free.
Next I started to untie my legs and when I became free I tossed the rope in the embers. I got up and left out. I looked at the damage that was done. There were fallen trees and very muddy and slippery ground. I knew my way around, so I walked towards the castle were I am accepted.
I arrived and I knocked on the drawbridge. An armored man around my age with blue hair answered. "Who are you and what your business here is?" he asked. "I'm the new garden keeper. May I talk to the woman with blue long hair?" I answered.
"You mean the queen my mother right? I am prince Bruno." He asked and introduced. "Your mother? Queen?" then it made sense their blue hair. "Yes may I please speak with her?" I asked again. "Yes come in." he said. I walked in a side door by the drawbridge.
I hadn't even noticed he came through there. I walked behind them and as soon as I walked in the big castle I got ambushed. I almost throw the person on me as a reflex, but then I saw the person wasn't trying to attack me only hug me.
After the hug I saw it was the queen herself. "You came I'm so glad you came!" she smiled and giggled like a teenage girl. "Yes I have found a home now." I answered. Then I got attacked again! This time I was ready not to hurt my attacker. Another hug ugh. My hugger let go and I saw a face I though I would never see again.
I tackled her into a hug as soon as I saw her. "Sherry!" I exclaimed. "Aki!" she called back. I didn't let go I was too happy and excited to think how hard I was squeezing. "AKI! YOU'RE SQUISHING ME!" she gasped. "Oops sorry Sherry." I said while letting her go. "Umm I think I would like my future bride whole instead of two pieces." The prince chuckled.
"I said I was sorry." I snapped. "Whoa chill I was just joking." He said. Sherry went over to the prince and put her arm through his arms. "Wait WHAT?" I started to think what the prince had said before. I started to think really hard. "Did you say future bride?" I demanded.
"Yes that is what he said Aki aren't you happy?" Sherry answered. "Yea, but right after momma's death? Sherry how soon?" I asked. "Aki what do you mean momma's death?" she asked. She doesn't know. I went over to Sherry and grabbed her by the arms. "Sherry momma died. She was killed by-"I was cut off by the entrance of two men.
I was turned around when I heard the two very familiar and the two voices I didn't want to hear ever again. "Prince Bruno, Queen and dear King I am very sorry I was gone, but I have found a very well trained and a very good addition to your security his name is Kalin Kessler." Yusei Fudo said.
"Umm uh Sherry can we go some where else to talk?" I whispered. I asked too late. I was leaving with Sherry when that Kalin guy tackled me. We started wrestling and he pinned me down. I kicked him off of me and pinned him face down and I twisted his legs under me bounding his arms at the same time.
He cursed lowly and then I was knocked off and pulled by Sherry. Kalin was being held by Yusei and the prince. "I will allow no fighting in my castle!" the king scolded. "It won't happen again your majesty. I promise." Yusei said. "No it won't I promise." The king said. "Come on Akiza let's get you a room by mine." Sherry said. She had to drag me away and into the part of the castle where she stayed.
"I see you are still getting into trouble Aki." Sherry sighed. "You have to learn that not all of us are trying to hurt you Aki we are not like Zora. I know what you had to go through I had-"I cut her off. "Please Sherry don't make me think wrong and don't make me run away from here too." I warned.
She sighed. "Ok Aki only because I see you as a sister, but please try not to think of us all against you. Remember how much time it took for you to finally speak to me nicely?" she said. "Yes I remember and I regret not doing it sooner." I said. I knew what she wanted to hear, so I just let her have as she pleases. "I will try, but I won't make any promises." I gave in I had no charisma to fight with her.
"Adda girl." She said. "I'm not a dog Sherry." I rolled my eyes. She laughed and took me to a room. "Here you go a place where you can call home sweet home." She said and left me alone. "Yea home." I sighed. I still feel like I'm in the wrong place I don't belong here. Sherry does, but she was born into royalty unlike me. I closed the door and slid down to the cold stone.
I shouldn't be here. I went to the bed and laid down I put my face to the pillow and cried. "You don't belong here princess." I heard a deep yet childish voice. I looked up I saw that I had my window opened. "Just the wind." I said to myself. Then I heard a thud. I looked and saw a boy with orange hair and markings on his face like the other two boys had.
"Who are you and what do you want?" I demanded. "To tell you the truth your majesty." He answered and bowed. "What do you mean?" I asked curious. "Let me show you." He said. He touched my forehead and a lot of visions started to play. I saw a woman giving birth to a baby girl. Then I saw a king walk in and take her from her father.
I saw myself growing up in the cabin. I saw Sherry and me in the tower. I was being cold and I saw my mark. Then it went black, but I heard something first. "Sleep well your highness princess Akiza Izinski future queen and bride of Jack Atlas."
Meanwhile…
Yusei's POV
Kalin was assigned roommate of mine and he is guard of the princess the prince saved. He attacked the princess's friend who just happened to be our escaped prisoner. Luckily for him we took her off of him before she killed him. That girl… her eyes show no compassion.
They say that your eyes are the windows to your soul, but all I see are dark brown almost black (A/N: I know they are lighter, but I just want them to seem dark for now) endless orbs. I can see she hides sorrow and hate behind those orbs. It's like she is carrying all the sadness in the world in those orbs.
It spooked me… never had I met someone with so much darkness. I need to save her. Before she ends up destroying herself or by the way things are going gets destroyed by Kalin himself. I also noticed her rubbing her forearm earlier. Weird girl she is, but since when is anything normal in my life?
I sighed and went to my bed and fell to sleep.
Meanwhile…
In a far off kingdom…
Jack's POV
Everything for the tournament is going well as planned. I have sent well not me personally, but I sent someone to send invitations to all the knights and princes of the near and far kingdoms to a dueling tournament.
I hear that the prince of Satellite has a special guard that seems to be pretty handy with swords. (A/N: Ok I know Satellite didn't have a prince and such but hey its fanfic!) I walked down the corridor and I took a right turn and ran right into someone.
I fell on top of my very clumsy servant…Carly. I wanted to yell at her again, but I thought twice and just got up and reached my hand out for her to take, which she did. She got up and composed herself. "Sorry." She said and ran off.
No I'm sorry Carly. I sighed and continued walking to my future throne room to see an unexpected guest.
