A Note from the Authoress'

If you didn't read the last warning then you should go back and do so before you even start reading this chapter. If you did, good for you, this just means you're well prepared and know what to expect. Kind of like the books, no?

"There she is!" Lady Belinda sneered, pointing her delicate hand at Jaycee who swore under his breath, searching for a way to escape. How could he forget that this alley lead to a dead end? He sent a pleading look in Draco's direction, pouting as the monkey smirked at him and vanished in a puff of smoke.

"That's the girl, the peasant who dared to almost be prettier than me." She said with a huff, blue eyes blazing as she glared at the shocked thief. Jaycee didn't know whether to be frightened out of his mind by the guards standing at her sides or amused by the girl's actions, which reminded him of a spoiled five year old.

Silence reigned in the alley as the Lady Belinda and Jaycee the Thief waited for the guards to stop snickering behind their helms and react to the Lady's accusations. Jaycee was sweating, wondering if almost being prettier than a noblewoman was an actual crime while Belinda was smirking at 'her', certain that the impudent peasant would get what was coming to 'her'.

"Looks like we lucked out..." The guard on the left said, his large grin apparent behind his helm. Jaycee wondered what he meant by that and Belinda was smug, certain they were complimenting her... and the peasant's beauty.

"Yep, we sure did. His majesty should be pleased." The second guard commented, nodding as he moved to stand in front of the peasant 'girl'. His armor clanked loudly with every step. Jaycee watched him move with wide silver eyes, backing up so his back was at the wall. He knew what happened to peasant girls in dark alleys, but what did the King have to do with it?

His eyes darted to the noblewoman as he felt something hard connect with the top of his head and his vision went black. The last thing he noticed was that the other guard seemed to be doing the same to the blonde. He fell, the guard catching him and tossing him over his shoulder before he could hit the ground.

"Well that isn't good." Draco the monkey said as he watched Jaycee fall from the rooftop nearby. He crept closer, determined to protect his friend and, dare he say it, master from the guards if they even attempted to do what he thought they were going to do.

But... He thought as he climbed. If they were going to... He stopped there, not even daring to think that they would do something so... distasteful to his friend if the spoiled brat of a noble was involved. From his viewpoint he could see that they were giving her the same treatment, meaning they weren't going to do what he was thinking of, but maybe that meant they were going to do something much worse.

Like force poor Jaycee and the snob to join the King's Harem.

Jaycee's head swam, colors flashing behind closed eyes as he felt himself be carried away. He felt a stab of cold fear run down his spine, wondering what they had planned for him. Maybe the whole alley was a set-up. Maybe that noble wasn't as witless as she appeared and had noticed Jaycee's theft.

"These the new harem girls?" And maybe dragons would fly out his ass.
