Chapter 2: Birthday Chaos

%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$

Faye was walking nervously down the main staircase that leads to the Entrance Hall, when she was grabbed behind. She gasped as she was pulled back up the stairs. "Princess, your parents don't want you going down that way. They want you walking down the main staircase of the Ball Room. They want you to make a big entrance." Her nanny, Elizabeth, told her as she pulled her toward the passageway that leads to the Ball Room staircase. The elderly lady had strength that you wouldn't expect from someone as frail looking as her, but she easily pulled the young 17 year old around.

They made it to the main hallway and Nanny Elizabeth let Faye go and she walked gracefully; her head held haughtily high, as she was taught to do, to the Ball Room staircase. She heard the trumpets on the other side of the door blow to announce her entering, and the two grand doors opened, and she walked through the doors, everyone in the room falling silent and bowing low in respect. She nodded politely to a few choice people and made her way across the room. She stopped a few feet before the thrones, where the King and Queen were sitting. Curtsying the perfect curtsy she had been trained to do since she could stand, the King and Queen nodded to her and she took her seat on the other side of the King.

The King waved a hand, and the band started playing again, and the guest started dancing. Faye looked over at the Queen. "Happy birthday, Mother." She said as she handed her a small, carefully wrapped box.

"Thank you, Faye." She said, taking the box and putting it with all the other guests' gifts.

During the next few minuets, the Queen and King surveyed the crowd for suitors for Faye that they had invited, one in particular. Faye had already spotted him; she could feel his ice cold eyes boring holes into her from across the room. Before she knew it, he was bowing deeply to her. "May I have the honor of this dance my lady?" He asked, venom dripping from every syllable. He took her hand and kissed it, his touch sent shivers down her spine, but she stood, and followed him anyway.

At first they didn't talk at all, Faye just did her best not to look at him, but at everyone around her instead. When Prince Vicious noticed this, he started talking to her about the one thing that he knew she wanted the most: Freedom. "I know of a way to get out of these walls without anyone seeing you, My Princess." He sneered. Faye's eyes grew wide as an evil grin spread across his face, "That is what you want, is it not?" She managed a nod. She hated this guy with a passion, but she just had to see what he had to say. He leaned in close to her, and whispered in her ear, "Tonight, something is going to happen, something that will set you free." His hot breath on her ear almost made her sick, but she listened intently for more, but he said nothing else, just kept dancing.

This made her mad, "What's going to happen tonight!?" She whispered loudly.

"That, My Princess, you will have to find out about later, and until then, lets just have some fun." He stopped dancing and led her out to the balcony of the Ball Room. He stood behind her as she looked over the rail, she could feel his eyes studying every curve of her body, every feature. He leaned down, and kissed her neck softly. "My Princess, come to my castle for a month, see what it's like there." He whispered, kissing her neck again and again.

"Stop it!" She yelled, pushing him away from her. "I never said that you could touch me, don't ever do that again!"

Prince Vicious laughed haughtily. "My Dear, Dear Princess, I don't need your permission, I can do anything I want to, and I thought that you would kno--" He was cut off by a commotion from inside, people screaming. "It's started, My Princess. Go inside." He pushed her through the doors and into the crowd of panicked people.

Everyone was rushing around, screaming, trying to find a way out. "SILENCE!" Everyone stopped, Faye heard footsteps, and the crowd in front of her slowly started to part. As they cleared, she froze, there, standing in front of her, was a pirate. No, not just any pirate, the most ruthless and brutal pirate in the seven seas! "Well, well, well, what do we have here?" The green haired man asked, looking Faye up and down, "Why I do believe that we have found enough of what we came here for." He grabbed Faye by the wrist and pulled her toward the door, she did the only thing she could think of doing, she screamed. Suddenly, there was a small pistol at her head, "Now, now, My Lady, I don't want to hurt you, but I will, now stop you're yelling." Faye immediately quieted down.

He continued to pull her out of the castle, Faye was surprised the guards didn't come to help, but when she came to the entrance hall, and she almost fainted, every one of the guardsmen of the palace, lying in a heap in the middle of the hall, dead. And then she saw something that made her stomach hurt, Jacob, lying there next to the pile, dead. It was then, that she did faint.
