"Move" Vaughn snaps at Lucas needing to save Josie.
She wasn't breathing. His heart stopped and he looks around and grabs a pocket knife from his pants and ripped open her corset laces (nothing bare shown don't worry haha)
Josie gasps and leans over spitting the water out.
Vaughn smiled happily until being grabbed out
"Away from the princess" snaps one of the guards.
Josie caught her breaths and looks up to see Vaughn staring right back at her
Princess?
"You should be killed for touching my wife to be" Victor sneers in his face.
Wife to be? This was all too much
Vaughn wanted to punch him in the face.
"Send him to the death role" Victor spat and the guards go to take him
"No!" yells Josie getting up, the guards turn and Vaughn's sad eyes look her over, she looks to Victor.
She's going to regret this
"I-I…went swimming" she lies "And then I remembered…I can't swim"
"Josie that's ridiculous" said Victor but stupid enough to believe it
"I know" she faked a smile to him "you know me, little stubborn girl…but this…man, saved me from drowning" she eyes Vaughn "Do you really think killing the man who saved your fiancé is the right thing to do?" she faked a mad face and crossed her arms
Victor coughs staring down at her and turns to Vaughn
"Right then" he said to the guards "Let him go"
They do and Vaughn felt his wrist while still watching Josie
"I invite you to chamber in the castle, you may bring your family" Victor turns to Josie "Good enough?"
She just nods and he leaves the 3 there.
Lucas whistled and pats Vaughn's back leaving.
Josie bit her lip…
