Ch6

The night of the ball, everyone in the palace was tense, because everything had to go exactly as planned.

Hitome was in her room trying to put on her dress, when mearal came in with a smile on her face.

"Need some help?" wonder mearal

"Sure.... Thanks." Replied Hitome

Hitome was very suspicious of this sudden act of kindness, because mearal was in love with van, but he never lover her the same way. Tonight at the ball, van was going to announce the engagement of him and Hitome, but not if mearal could help it.

She pulled out a syringe and stabbed Hitome with it on one swift motion

All of a sudden Hitome collapsed, on the floor unconscious. After her plan had worked, as she wanted, mearal ran out of hitome's rooms, with a giant evil grin on her face. She was off to tell van the Hitome had cold feet about marrying him.

That might if worked, but van walked in to check up on Hitome after mearal left. To his horror he found the love of his life collapsed on the floor, with blood coming from her head.

He carefully picked Hitome up and carried her to his room, to make sure none would hurt her any more.

After he finished that he announced the cancellation of the ball, until further notice.

When Hitome finally came to, she found her self on vans bed. As she felt the back of her head, it felt wet.

"What happened to me?" asked Hitome in a panic.

"I found you unconscious on your bedroom floor, with your head bleeding." said van, as he took Hitome in a hug.

She felt so safe with van.

"I was so scared I wouldn't see you again." Said van with tears with in his eyes

Hitome sat up to look at van face, and was caught up in his passionate kiss. It didn't take long before van slid his tongue into her mouth. They tongue wrestled until van heard footsteps coming toward his room. He knew he had to break the kiss, but that seemed impossible.

Finally at eh last second van pulled away from Hitome swollen lips, when millerna walked in. she was his fiancé 3months before Hitome came. "Who is this slut?" snapped millerna.

"She is my fiancé!" snapped back van, defending Hitome

"But so was I!"Said millerna, as she briskly walked over to the bed, where van and Hitome where on.

She wound up to slap Hitome, but van put his hand to block it, but got slapped.

"I didn't love you, and I never will! Yelled van, "guards take her way!"

Within minutes the guards appeared and arrested millerna.

"I'm going to kill you bitch!" Screamed millerna in raged of what had just happened

Hitome was so shook by what had happened, she didn't want to leave the safety of vans arms
