When he asked those words it hurt me. I didn't want to leave. "Your father said he would kill me if I came back.. he said even if he died, there would still be a team of guards here to get me if I came back. He also said he would hurt you. Apparently he knew you proposed to me. He also thought it would be a bad idea to go back to my family. I didn't want them getting hurt especially after I realized there were guards following me." I saw a million emotions in his eyes. "May I leave now?" I asked. I didn't want to leave him, but I had to. I had to go hide in my room. I didn't want him getting hurt. "Of course." He still had this look on his face that I couldn't read. I left the room and started walking down the hall torwards the stairs when something didn't feel right. I pressed on the little heart charm on my bracelet and twirled it around my wrist. Then a big arm went around my neck and stomach. The big guard held me back against him. I stepped on his foot with the heel of my shoe I ran as fast as I could in heels but didn't make it far when another guard grabbed me the same way. He pulled me torwards where I was coming from. "This is for my true king." He said into my ear. 5 guards we following us and the others were standing guard. They were, if not all, some of the guards in the group Clarkson told me about. I couldn't fight them all. They all had weapons and it was about 10 against me dressed like this without weapons. I did one of the only things I could do to save me and yelled out for Maxon. "Maxon!" I yelled. He came running out and looked at me with fear in his eyes as the guards all looked at him. They grabbed him and shoved him back into his office. The next thing I knew, guards were holding his door shut and there was a sharp knife being held at my throat.
