No more cliffhanger, thought I'd give you all a little bit of action. Enjoy!
"Nathaniel, please let go, you're hurting me," Jesselyn pleased as she struggled to get her wrist free.
"You do not tell me what to do darling," he growled.
Jesselyn reached up with her free hand in an attempt to pry his hand off of her wrist. With amazing reflex he reached up and locked his hand around her other wrist, pulling her towards him and trapping her arms in between his chest, along with her own.
"Let me go," she yelled, pulling as hard as she could to break free.
Finally she moved her feet and kicked him in the shin, causing him to yelp in pain and let go of her wrists. She took her chance and ran towards the door, screaming at the top of her lungs, hoping that maybe a stray guard or servant would hear her and come to help her.
Just as Jesselyn's fingers brushed the brass doorknob, a string arm coming up and wrapping around her waist stopped he and pulled her back. As another scream left her lips, Nathaniel's hand came up and covered her mouth, his fingers clenching her jaw to keep her mouth closed completely.
"Bad move dear," he snarled angrily in her ear.
He moved his arm from around her waist and grabbed her roughly, pulled her backwards. His hand left her lips, allowing her to yelp in pain, he pulled her by her hair and threw her against the wall. She slid to the floor, holding her arm that had been slammed against the wall.
She cringed as she heard his boots hit the floor as he came towards her. He stared down at her for a few seconds, looking happy at the fear that shone in her eyes. He then lifted his foot, bring his leg back before swinging it forward, the toe of his boot hitting her swiftly in the stomach.
She screamed at the pain and her arms wrapped around the middle of her torso instinctively. He prepared for another kick, but this time letting the side of his foot hit her back, and then her shoulder. He continued slamming his foot against her, again and again, each time a scream escaped Jesselyn's lips, the pain running through her body becoming more and more intense.
Finally the kicking stopped and he knelt down in front of her. His hand gripped her chin and yanked it painfully to make her look at him, "have you learned your lesson yet?"
"Please stop," she whimpered quietly. All she wanted was to have Olaf or even Kristoff, Anna, or Elsa run in and help her. To put an end to this all.
He shook his head sadly, "then tell me, have you learned your lesson?"
She nodded frantically, "yes, I'll stay away from Olaf, I'll love you and no one else."
He smiled and pulled her up roughly by her arm. She yelped at the pain that shot out of her shoulder, "good, I'm glad," he smiled kindly at her. Out of nowhere he brought his hand up, slapping it across her face. She gave a small yell of pain, her own hand covering her cheek. "now go to bed sweetheart," he smiled, cupping his hand over the one that covered her cheek.
She nodded and slipped from his room, letting the tears finally fall. She covered her mouth and nose to muffle her sobs as she ran as fast as her sore and tired body would carry her. When she arrived at her room she opened and slammed the door, before sliding down to sit on the floor.
Warm, hot tears rolled down her cheeks, her left cheek stinging from the slap. Her entire body ached in pain. Using all of her strength she pushed herself and moved quickly too her closet, outing on a nightgown in place of her dress.
When she fell back into bed it was as if her body screamed even more. She curled up into a ball with her blanket, ignoring the resistance from her body. Jesselyn cried herself to sleep, something she hadn't done since she was young when her grandparents had died, and all through the night he body hurt and every time she moved all she felt was that pain. The pain that her own fiancé had inflicted upon her. Why did she have to agree to talk to him tonight, she wouldn't have this pain and she wouldn't be worried so much about Olaf.
What did everyone think? Sorry for a short chapter, but the next one should be up in a few days, hope you're all enjoying so far.
