As I walk to Shrimp's favorite spot in the castle because my instincts are saying she is in trouble.
When I arrive, I ask our librarian, Belno, if Levy came in today.
Belno is like a second mom and she comforted me when Levy was locked away and was the one that got me to propose to Short Stuff.
She used to be Shrimp's nursemaid and a researcher there but after Levy was locked away, Jose fired her and others for they served the princess only not him.
However, she hadn't so he went to her chambers and checked there but she wasn't there either so he went to the stables.
When he arrived, there was uproar. My father was there and so was Levy's handmaiden. She was weeping, so was Wendy and Mother.
My eyes scanned the area. I saw Shrimp's horse bit without her and his eyes widened. Tied to the saddle, was a small bag.
I raced to the horse and untied the bag from it. Inside was a piece of her dress, a note with her scent on it and her engagement ring I GAVE HER.
The note read:

To King Metalicanna, Queen Grandeeney, Prince Gajeel, and Princess Wendy:
I have taken back my stepdaughter. Do try to find her so that I have something to break her emotionally even further.
I, unfortunately, Prince Gajeel, had to end your engagement to my stepdaughter for the greater good. I refuse her to be married to such barbarians that would carry off two maidens. As well as she needs to face her treason.
However, if you hurry, you will see her be punished for her treason. If you wish to take her place, be my guest. If you don't come within 5 days, she will be executed by drowning.
Tic Tok, Tick tock, Time is running out.
From, Jose Porla.
As soon as I finish reading, I am livid with rage. Jose is going to pay for this.
As soon as I finish reading, I am livid with rage. Jose is going to pay for this. I go to the stables; saddle and bridled his horse, Karma Demon; and track Levy.
When I come to a clearing, I pull at the reins. On the ground are crushed white roses and a trampled strip of cloth. I pick up a rose and can smell the sweet smelling chloroform from an inch away. I pick up the strip of cloth and see that it is one of Levy's headbands.
I tie it around my wrist and get back on Karma Demon. I ride back to the castle because I need a plan before I storm Jose's palace of frozen darkness.

Ugh, my head hurts I think as I try to rub my eyes to get the sleep out of them when I see that they are tied behind my back.
I try to call for help but I find that I am also gagged and my cries are muffled by it so no one can hear my cries.
Suddenly, the light comes into the room and I look around to try to see what the darkness hid.
I was in a prison cell and my ankle was chained. There was a tiny window that was barred so only a little light could come through.
I was still wearing my white and orange dress. It was now filthy from me being in this dirty cell. I tried to loosen my binds but I managed to make them tighter.
Suddenly, the cell door opened and Jose and Acnologia walk in. I immediately tried to get away from them until I hit the wall, but it's to no avail. Jose grabs my neck and lifts me off the ground. Then Acnologia knees me in the gut.
I cry out in pain as I feel bile rise in my throat.
"You stupid bitch!!!" Jose yelled at me as I try to claw at his hand off my throat. He throws me at the wall and I scream as he kicks me in my ribs. Then he spits on me as if I'm a fucking whore.
As soon as he leaves, I begin to weep because of me being abused again. I just wanted to be free and be with Gajeel.
True, he calls me a plethora of nicknames but he can be kind, brave, and loving as well. Why can't I just be happy?
I end up crying myself to sleep that night and dreaming of my crimson eyed prince and hoping that he will save me.
