Nina
I hate my life sometimes. As I walked through the grand entrance people stared at me. I held my head high with my daughter in my arms. She was asleep.
"Nina they need you in the throne room." Amber said. Guards opened the door for me and I went in. Fabian smirked at me.
"You're back." He said.
"I don't want me and my child being hunted down like game." I said.
"Our child." He said.
"No, not ever. Mine. She will never belong here with you. You take over innocent places and she will never do the same. She is fragile and sweet. Your an evil monster who isn't her father. I will never speak of you but she'll probably figure it out. Now I would like some time to sleep before morning." I said before stomping away. I felt everyone's eyes of me. No one spoke. "Her names Cleo!" I called before dissapearing up the dark staircase.
I know Cleo will never betray me. She has his hair color but my blue eyes. I held her close to my body as I found a bedroom on the opposite side of the palace from him. I got in bed with holding Cleo close.
"I need to get you some clothes. A blanket won't cover you forever." I said. She looked up sleepily at me. "Love you." I said before blowing out the candle and going to sleep.
Fabian
She is making this so hard. I'm dealing with so much right now.
"I say we just send her to the dungeons and have the child." One of my advisors, Victor said.
"She needs a mother whether we like it or not." I said.
"She's a brat." He said.
"She's scared." Patricia spoke up.
"I know." I said. "But she's crafty. I have no idea how she got all the stuff she took before she escaped." I said looking at her bag of supplies. I held the sword in my hands.
"She hates it here." She continued.
"Then make her love it here big sister." I said looking at her. She rolled her eyes.
"You can't force anyone to do things." She said.
"It's worked well for this family." I said.
"Fabian, I'm done here. I'm going to live with my husband." She said.
"Husband?" I questioned.
"Yes, husband. An ex prisoner." She said.
"We've never let go a prisoner except Nina." I said.
"He's an escaped one." She said. I looked up at her.
"Treason." I said walking towards her.
"No it isn't." She defended. I got in her face.
"Treason." I repeated. "Treason is punishable by death Patricia." I said. She grabbed the sword from my hand.
"Baby brother, let me remind you I can take this throne anytime I want. It belongs to me. These people are my people, wanting me from the beginning. They love leaders with brains. So I will leave here with grace or I will turn your own people against you." She said backing me into a wall.
I stayed silent. She exited much like Nina did up the staircase.
