Fang's POV
"Prince Fang! Are you ready?" The King bellowed. The King and Fang were standing together by the opening of the Grand doors for their entrance.
Tonight was Fang's birthday which meant it was the day for the Princess Ball. From all kingdoms across the land came Princesses hoping Fang would take their hand in marriage. Their mothers and fathers were invited as well. As all the people were arriving, bugles played and flowers were thrown in the air as the door opened and out stepped Fang all dressed up in black and white.
Even though Fang was the most mysterious, quiet, shy, and unruly prince, he was also the most handsome, so the ladies gasped as he stepped out. The party began, and Fang danced in circles with all the beautiful girls, but even so, his mind was still revolved around the most beautiful: Max.
Every time someone asked how he was Fang would respond, "Quite well, thank you.", and in the back of his head think But Max is probably getting whipped and working so hard. Every time Fang danced he would think Max's feet must be so sore. Every time Fang placed a hand on a skinny waist he would think Max is so tender.
Max's POV
Finally, the guards took away the shovel and axe. They were afraid I'd use it as a weapon, and led me back to the cell. My legs collapsed beneath me before I could even get to the bed. For the past couple of days, strange pains have started occurring on my back, and my wings have been feeling strangely weak. Maybe it's just because I haven't flown or stretched it out in days.
Today's Fang's birthday. Too bad I don't get to see him. They're holding a Princess Ball, and I can hear the music and noise above me. It's torture. Even though Fang has no choice, he can't marry me and I feel betrayed by the truth.
As I made my way to the hard bed, my back started burning. By the time I got to the bed, my back was on pain and fire. The worst part is, it came in a sudden burst. At first, it was slow and then it hit me so hard I couldn't hold back a scream. I was curled into a ball on the floor next to the bed when people came running to the cell to find the origin of the noise.
"Max!" I heard. In the attempt to turn around to see who yelled my name, I blacked out, but I do believe I saw… Fang… crying…
