Alex' eyes were filled with anger and hatred as Lord Kai and Lord Tala
dragged her to the castle. She was angrey with almost everybody. These two
bastards (Lord Kai & Tala) for being so rough with her, Prince Max for
being so nosey and worst of all was King Johnny for punishing that poor
girl Amber, when all's she tried to do was help. Alex growled under her
breath, hoping that nobody heard her. She was wrong, Lord Kai tucked his
arm in front of her and elbowed her in the stomach, hard. Alex leaned over
in pain and was pushed forward by Lord Tala, not giving her a single second
to deal with the fast pain. Alex was grabbed by the two gaurds again but
not before she got a glance behind her. Amber was sheding tears and Lord
Bryan looked like he was guiding a disgrace. This look of his brought a
smirk to her face, but she hide it quickly before she got elbowed again.
" By order of King Johnny, we must escort these two young maidens to the servants room." Lord Kai spoke up, still struggling to hold onto Alex.
The gaurd at the front castle gate nodded at him and whistled so the men working the gate could bring it down. Alex and Amber were guilded through the gate entrance and soon found themselves in the castle itself. Neather of them paid any attention to the setting and keeped there eyes glued to the gray brick floor. Amber had tried her best to hold back her tears so it didn't make her look weak. She had to be strong.
/{/ Like Alex, she's very strong, in mind and muscle. \}\ She thought to herself.
Lord Tala let go of Alex to open a door and pull it wide open. Alex and Amber were pushed inside and had the door slammed behind them. The girls sat up and stared at the door in fear (Amber) and anger (Alex). The room they were in was pitch black and the only light that light the room was the thin stream of torch light that flickered into the cracks of the door everytime the gaurd passed by to patrol the area. Amber was shaking nervously and she struggled to fight off the coming tears.
" Well that's just great. We get brought into the castle, thrown in a room, and it's pitch black. They really think highly of us, don't you think so?" Alex asked her.
Amber chuckled at Alex' sarcasim. " Well it would have been nice if they at least gave us a bit of light in this room. I hate the dark."
" Ya. You know, we haven't properly introduced ourselves yet." Alex sighed.
Amber smiled, though Alex couldn't notice it, so she thought.
" What are you smiling about?" She asked.
Amber was startled by her question. " You can see me? I figured it was too dark to see. I can't see 2 inches in front of me and yet you could see me smile?"
Alex chuckled. " I was told by one of my younger brothers that I have the eyes of an owl and the ears of a fox."
" Well anyways, my name is Amber Heart." She smiled putting out her hand, hoping that Alex would see it and accept it.
" I'm Alexander Moren, but please don't call me that, call me Alex for short." She replied and toke Amber's hand in a handshake.
Amber was startled when she felt her grab her hand. It was cold and dry. The exact opposite of hers. She shoke it anyways and stood up. She slammed her head into somebody.
" Hey, watch were your going." A masculant voice spoke gentilly.
Amber screamed and she felt a hand cover her mouth. " I'm sorry that I scared you but don't scream. You'll wake up the gaurd and I'm in trouble."
Alex stood up as well and walked towards the figure that had Amber. His figure was blurry but she could make out his clothes, barely. He was wearing a ragged t-shirt and shorts. His hair was preety neat and he had a bandana tied around his forhead. There was symbol on it, but not even her keens eyes could make it out.
" What do you think your doing?" He asked, seeing that Alex was staring at him.
Alex snapped at him. " I should be asking you the same question."
Amber pulled the boys hand of her mouth and she stepped towards Alex voice. " Who are you?"
" My names Ray, I'm a servant here at the castle, I've been here for a few years, so I guess you could say I know my way around." The boy responded.
This name brought a smile to Alex face. " Ray Kon?"
" Yeah, how did you know?" Ray asked.
" Your part of the White Tiger Clan, right?" She asked, leaving Amber completly clueless.
She could see Ray nod his head.
" I know your friends, mostly Mariah. She's worried that you'll never come back to the village." Alex smiled.
" You must be Alex then." He grinned.
It was Alex time to nod.
" Ok so you know Ray becuaes you know his friend Mariah and oviously you know Alex because she hangs around with her, right?" Amber asked trying to catch up on the conversation.
" That's right. You don't get confused fast do you? You seem really smart." Ray asked gentilly.
Amber blushed but not even the darkness could could hide it from him. Alex sighed and rolled her eyes.
" Amber Heart this is Ray Kon and vise-versa." She introduced them.
Ray held out his hand. " Nice to meet you Amber."
Amber was embarresed because she didn't see his hand and had a good idea that he did have it out. Alex grabbed her wrist gentilly and lead it into Ray's. Amber blushed again as she felt the strengh in his grip.
" She can't see in the dark, Ray." Alex added.
Amber pulled her hand away from Ray's grip and held it close to her chest as she heard voices. It was Lord Kai and King Johnny.
" Did you escort them here as requested?" King Johnny asked firmily.
" Yes your majesty. We were informed by the gaurd that there was only room in the chamber of that Kon character." Lord Kai responded.
" Did they come willingly or did you have to use force?"
" For Alexander we had to use force your majesty. She might be a girl but she is very strong." Lord Kai responded with a look of ashame.
" And Amber?"
" She came willingly Lord Bryan said. He belives he might have an idea of her weakness. We might not have to try and get it out of her."
" And that would be?"
" She doesn't like seeing people get hurt. As you probably noticed, your majesty, she tried to help up Alex when I struck her, she cried when Lord Tala held her back from proceding with her actions and she also cried when Alex didn't cooperate when we escorted them here." Lord Kai spoke as they both came closer to the door.
Alex didn't waste a single moment and was standing in front of the door when it opened. She swong at the first figure that came into view through the torch light in the hall. She struck Lord Kai hard in the face causing him to fall to the ground on impact. Alex beamed at her target.
" I must thank you for the completment Lord Kai but you under estemated my strengh. There's plenty more where that came from."
Ray and Amber appeared in the doorway beside her only to see Lord Kai get up and charge at Alex. He grabbed her arms andran with her until she was slammed painfully into the wall behind her. Lord Kai smirked at her.
" You under estemated my control." He spoke roughly and pushed her harder into the wall causing Alex to make a small sqeauk of pain.
He was pressing so hard against her chest. Amber looked horrified as Alex struggled to breath. She backed up and backed right into Ray who put his hand on her shoulder to show his empathy. Amber burst into soft tears that streamed down her face as Alex struggling began to faint and become less forceful.
Amber pleaded in her mind. /{/ What is he doing? He's going to kill her! Why isn't anybody doing anything. Somebody make it stop! \}\
" By order of King Johnny, we must escort these two young maidens to the servants room." Lord Kai spoke up, still struggling to hold onto Alex.
