Caught!

Reis eyes slowly drifted open then squeezed shut when a searing pain shot up his arm. He picked himself up with his good arm. He glanced down at his arm, it was reopen but the blood had already dried on his arm and clothes. He let out a soft cry when he tried to move his leg, he looked down blood caked his pant leg too. He sighed followed by a soft groan,

" Great." He put his feet on the cold, hard concrete floor. He stood up, but nearly fell when pain shot up from his left leg straight to his brain. He squeezed his eyes shut, gritted his teeth and tried to walk.

With each step he squeezed his eyes shut from pain. He limped over, and cleaned his wounds. After he bandaged them he changed into a fresh pair of clothes.

"Who was that? Why is so determined to keep me from the princess?" He limped over to and out the door. He was in the servants quarters he got,

"Well, well you don't look so well. Something wrong you look tired."

" No, I'm alright."

"No… You look like you could use a nap." As he said this the man pulled back his hand and then

WHAP!

" Looks like HE'S the one who needed the nap." Rei said as he walked out of the servants quarters and harmed except for his limp. He limped down the hall and down a small set of corridors. He leaned against a wall.

"I don't get it. Why don't they like me?"

"Nothing, they're all just jealous." His breath caught in his throat as his heart stopped for a few beats. A smile graced his face, and a soft laugh escaped his lips.

"Mariah. You scared me." She softly laughed. " I thought the mighty tiger could not be scared." He laughed. She giggled; she loved the way he laughed. It was sounded so light and carefree, it was very contagious. She looked at his face it shone with happiness and love. His eyes reflected it as well. She then noticed his arm,

"Hey, what happened to your arm?" Rei looked at his arm and softly chuckled.

"Oh that just had an accident. Don't worry." She cocked her head to the side and asked,

"Well I have to now. What kind of an accident?" Rei sighed as he scratched the back of his head.

"It's just a scratch, no biggie." Mariah narrowed her eyes. He could tell she wasn't going to take that as an answer. He took in a deep breath and slowly released it.

"I asked what kind of accident."

"Just…got a visit had a visitor last…"

"Someone did this to you!" Her eyes widened and her face expressed shock. "Who?!"

"Well…I…don't know. I've never seen him." Her face changed from shock to concern then to anger.

"What did his voice sound like?"

"Oh…I don't know. Slightly deep, a little smooth. I don't know." She looked at him curiously. He looked down at her. He smiled, she smiled. He softly laughed, and she giggled. She shook her head. She looped her arms around his neck as his snaked their way around her waist. He looked in her eyes her golden orbs shone with love and care his lips grazed hers. Her eyes closed as he did so. Her lips grazed his. He softly laughed and whispered,

"Copycat." She giggled and grabbed his lips with hers. Her ands rested on the back of his head while his rested on the small of her back.

But while they were enjoying the moment someone walked by.

' It seems the boy hasn't learned his lesson. Well he will soon, he will soon.' And the figure walked off, down the hall. Mariahs' hands were roaming his back and slid to his chest. Chills ran down his spin as she did so. She giggled against his lips. His hands roamed her back and over her neck and shoulders and down her arms back to her shoulders. His hands undid her hair and ran his fingers through her velvety soft hair.

Then Rei felt a rough hand on his shoulder and yanked him back. The pulled his arms behind his back and held him there.

"What is going on! I command that you release him!" Mariah shouted. Her face screwed up in anger.

"I can't, dear princess, I have my orders from the king." The captain of guards said. Mariah eyes burned with tears, she knew the penalty for touching the princess. Her breath was caught in her throat and all she could do was stand there as they dragged Rei away.

She ran to her room then stopped short of her door. Then narrowed her eyes and stomped towards the throne room.

"Father! Father! I have to talk to you!"

" I have to talk to you too, Mariah." Her father was standing by the window his back to her. She could tell that he was angry because of the way his voice sounded. "I hear you've been seeing someone, and it's NOT your suitor." He slowly turned to face his daughter. The light shadowed his face. His eyes were narrowed and anger was in his eyes.

" I can't believe you would do this to me. You are seeing a servant boy. You have to act like a princess but you've been acting like a commoner, a, a, a, peasant."

"Father you don't have to be a peasant to love someone!" she instantly covered her mouth knowing, that was the wrong thing to say.

"Mariah you know that love has nothing to do with this! You will marry to continue the bloodline."

"Father that isn't fair!"

"Life's not fair Mariah."

"I'm not a daughter to I am a tool just to keep the kingdom going!" tears sprang in her eyes and down her cheeks down her face she ran to the doors and before she left she shouted,

"I hate you, I hate Enrique, I hate being a princess!" Then she ran down the hall And to her room sobbing all the way her hair waving behind her. When she got to her room she threw her self on her bed and sobbed onto her covers.

"I hate them! I hate them all! Why did I have to be a princess?! I hate my life." She sobbed into her pillow.

' He's in trouble and it's all my fault.' She sobbed. Her tears flew down her face like water down a cliff. She was so upset. She didn't know what to do. She sobbed until she cried herself to sleep.

A.N. Hey what do you think. I know it's short, but it's good right. So tell me what you think. ^.^
