Chapter 5: Not Him Again!
I didn't sleep well that night, thinking of the awful things that my aunt and uncle would do. I hated them. They broke my family just for the throne. I had no one to go to, not even friends. I hated the way that they threw my to the street with nothing left. Absolutely nothing.
But... but Joey was just someone else. Maybe just a kid, but he was the only person that has ever been there for me in my life. My parents always acted too busy for me, even when they were alive.
I lay on the sand until dawn; I was restless. I rolled over to Joey and poked him. He moaned and slowly opened his eyes.
"What's wrong, Mai?"
"Can't sleep."
"Aww, c'mon. I'm tired. Let me sleep."
He did look truly tired, so I let him sleep until daylight. Then he finally got up.
"Well... what did you want to say?" He looked curious, seeing the dark circles under my eyes. "Wow, did it really keep you up all night?"
Suddenly, it just came spilling out. Everything about my life.
"My parents died when I was young, so my aunt and uncle took over the throne. They never thought of me... so I they've now just thrown me out... so they could keep their family name as rulers... I guess."
He looked at me with those kind, chocolate brown eyes, and I knew that he understood. He put a comforting arm around my waist, and I leaned on his arm.
Then, just as suddenly as my thoughts came out, I backed away from him and pushed his arm off my waist.
I can't do this, I just can't. He can't get close to me and I can't love him. Tears started to well up in my eyes, but I blinked them away. I can't cry in front of him, I can't cry in front of anybody. They'll just take advantage of me!
"Are you alright? You look kinda afraid, like you're still hiding something from me." He was still there, watching me the whole time.
"I'm... I'm fine. I just need to be alone for a while."
"I guess so... I'll try to find some food for us, then." He walked off, leaving me there.
This... this typical beggar... wasn't really typical at all... who seemed ordinary to be at first, just a guy who had a crush on me... he helped me, cared for me when I was dumped into the streets...
No, the little voice said. Don't pay any attention to him. He'll eventually leave you, just like your parents did.
But... he seems like my angel, in way. He's always there for me, not matter what...
Suddenly, someone grabbed me around to waist, and covered my mouth. I tried to shriek, but I couldn't, not with his hand there. He picked me up, and took me to a dark dungeon, and locked me in there.
"What do you want from me?" I screamed. Then, as he walked into the light, I realized that it was him.
"What are you going to do now, now that you're little boyfriend isn't here?"
"HE IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND!"
He walked right up to me, and put his hand on my chin. I shivered.
"Now, I've worked this out with your guardians... if you marry me, I won't tell the world about the fake loss of your fortune.
"NEVER!"
"Well then, we'll just have to add your boyfriend to the bargain..."
"I told you, he is not..." I was cut off when I saw Joey, knocked out.
"I'll just have to kill him if you don't marry me."
"NO! You can't!"
"We'll see about that." He pulled out a knife.
Hahahaha... evil cliffie, if you could call it that... hehehehe!
Oh yeah, and Artemisia wants to say something...
