Well here is what I have come up with so far. Hope it's good!
CHAPTER 3
Yona's eyes flutter open. Dust particles dance in the only strip of light that bleeds through her curtains. She raises her hands to her head, messaging her temples to get rid of her horrible headache. The memories flash from the night before, and her eyes go wide.
She abruptly sits up and looks around, only to see familiar surroundings. This is her old bedroom. Everything untouched, since the last time she was here. Her clothes hang in her closet, dust collects on her vanity, and her hair brush still has pieces of scarlet red. She rises from her bed slowly, setting her feet on the cold wooden floors, when she hears a clank. She looks down to heavy metal chains, cuffed to her left foot. Her eyes follow the chain to the back wall of her bedroom, where it is attached to the wall.
Panic starts to rise in Yona's chest. She looks for her arrows, which are nowhere in sight. She tries to get to the door, but the chains stop her, mere inches from it. She twists and turns, looking for any possible exit. There isn't one. She falls to her knees. She tries to slow her heart, trying to stay calm.
"Ok. What happened? I remembered shooting arrows. I remember my mouth being covered. I remember a man."
The Kouka guard pendant flashes in her mind.
"It was a castle guard. Which means I'm back in the capital, and in the castle. But if I was taken prisoner, why am I in my bedroom. Why not a cell?"
Footsteps were heard coming down the hall. She rushes back to her bed, and gets under the covers. A figure is seen through the screen door. The door unlocks. Yona closes her eyes. Black is all she see's.
The sound of the door sliding open reaches her ears. A pair of footsteps enter the room, and the door slides shut. Yona tries to regulate her breathing and look like she is still sleeping. The footsteps get closer to her bed. She feels the pressure of someone sitting on the edge of her bed. She can also feel a pair of eyes staring at her. Yona tries to resist the urge to peek through her lids. Silence fills the room. A minute goes by and a heavy sigh is heard. She feels the cold touch of fingers brush a lock of hair that lays on her face.
"Yona, open your eyes. I know you're awake," said a familiar voice.
Shivers crawl up her spine at his voice. Her heart almost stops. Fear begins to overwhelm her, but then it is replaced with a surge of rage. Without opening her eyes, she rises from her pillow and moves to a sitting position. The man rises from the bed to stand right in front of her. She moves her feet to the floor and stays seated.
Yona grips her sheets, trying to get rid of her fear.
"I will not show weakness. Not in front of him."
She opens her eyes, and glares up at her capturer.
"Soo-won." Her voice filled with hatred.
His expression is hard, and emotionless. A moment passes, before his mouth turns into a sinister grin.
"Welcome home, my princess."
