Chapter 6 already, This is really the last chapter I will be doing this week.
Carly was locked up in a very plain room. There was even no bed: Carly had to sleep on the bare ground, which was made from stone. Furthermore she didn't receive a blanket.
Fortunately it was hot, so Carly didn't need a sheet or blanket. When Carly watched through the window, she could see clearly volcanoes spitting lava out and she could see the ashes. There was nothing left from the view she once adored . There was only red and heat. This was clearly HELL. For some reason, Carly didn't feel crying. She went already trough many bad times. She had already expected that she won't get out off that castle. So was not NOT REALLY that disappointed, but still…
Carly was lying on the ground. She thought about what that man had said. "Carly, that man is misleading you. He is the ruler of HELL. Come with me!"Why didn't I take his hand, thought Carly. By the way how did that man know my name, occurred suddenly to Carlys mind. Oh that doesn't matter. The fact that I didn't take his hand, is the worst. Carly was so much pondering, that she didn't notice that someone has entered her room.
"Here is your food," said a man's voice flatly. "Eat the food now."Carly turned her head to the man. Ah, she could have expected it! It was the king. Carly looked indifferent and turned her head away. "I don't need your food…" The king became furious and walked toward Carly. He pulled Carly from the ground and leaned Carly toward him. "I am the king, so you should listen to me! Eat now!" Carly looked uninterested. "Huh." Only because you're the king or the ruler of hell, so that's why I should listen to you. Carly chuckled. Don't be ridiculous." Jack was taken aback by Carlys speech, but he recovered. Jack smiled while saying:"Still it doesn't change the fact that you're going to be my wife." "If I don't eat or drink for a whole week. There might not be a wife," laughed Carly hysterically. Jack couldn't laugh at Carlys joke. It's true. If Carly won't eat or drink for a whole week, she might die of starvation, and then there won't be even a wife. That realization made Jack furious.
"You really don't want to marry me, "said Jack finally . Carly stared at Jack. Jacks eyes looked very hurt, but Carly couldn't be fooled. "What do you think? Of course I don't want to marry you," replied Carly indifferently. Jack hurt by Carlys reply pushed Carly on the ground. Jack looked like he was about to cry."You don't take my feelings seriously!" said Jack with a hurting face. Carlys somehow surprised by Jacks emotional state, tried to be calm. " My king, you're overreacting. Please behave yourself. "Behave myself? You don't want to marry me! Why should I behave myself!"
Carly couldn't believe it. Where is the man who nearly showed any emotions and tried always to be rational. She could see nothing from that. The man in front of her was overreacting and looked almost like a child. Somehow it made sense, thought Carly. Carly remember the talk she had with Martha. Servants had always been taking care of Jack. The parents paid hardly attention to their son and that's why Jack might be lonely. I guess he missed some love, could only be Carlys conclusion.
Carly reached her hands to Jack and embraced him. Jack was astonished by that and didn't move.
"Jack, I am sorry for you. I can't be your wife… but I want to be your friend," said Carly while steering her face to Jacks. I am not in the positon to be your wife, but I want to be your friend, summarized Carly. Jack said nothing, but he gave Carly a look that said that he understood what Carly meant. Jack and Carly laid on the ground and hold each other's hands. They were smiling at each other. They found both a new friend. Jack and Carly fell asleep, while they were holding their hands.
This is surely the beginning of a new friendship, but possibly of a new love?
I hope to update soon, but vacation is soon over for me.
