Jason waited behind the wall. I motioned him to stay.
The man and girl looked at me.
"Why hello there, Caroline." I said hissing on her name.
I turned to the man and said,
"Hello Kyle." I said with an angry tone.
"Well this is a big surprise." I said while taking a step closer to them.
They looked at me , eyes wide, then looked at each other.
"I can explain." They said in unison.
"Oh yeah? I would love to hear what you both have to say." I said looking at both of them not moving. Kyle started to come towards me, I held out my hand.
"Stop right there, don't come any closer." Jason came around the corner and looked directly at Kyle.
Jason stood behind me, tall, and... very angry. I could feel his hurt and anger building. I shivered and felt the hairs on my entire body stand up.
"Sir. Jason?! I can explain!" Screamed Caroline, as she was slowly coming up to him.
"HUSH YOU IGNORANT FOOL!" He roared back.
Her face went pale and she stopped where she was.
"HOW DARE YOU! How DARE YOU BETRAY ME? YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND!!" Jason was really... really mad. His voice made the walls shake. He slowly walked to him so he was face to face to him.
I could see Knights come to the scene and stand by. Waiting for Jason to give a command.
"You... are no longer... my best friend. You... are no longer... Knight Kyle... of the country Crescentonian. " He choked on every word that came out of his mouth, even though he stood tall and firm, I knew this was not easy for him to do.
I covered my mouth and felt tears fall down my cheeks.
"Jason... don't do this. Please. I can explain." Kyle said begging Jason, you could see hurt in his eyes.
"You betrayed me Kyle. How could you? After everything we've been through!!" His voice started to get louder and louder as he spoke.
The Knights came closer to us at this point and two of them were standing behind Caroline and Kyle.
I could feel Jason's hurt. I had my own hurt because... he was my best friend too.
Jason turned around, "Take him away. Take her to the dungeon. Her father will be hearing of this and he can come get the fool he calls daughter." His voice cold, and sharp.
"Jason NO! Please! Don't tell my father! Don't do this to me! I LOVE YOU!" Caroline cried out as she fell down to the ground. This made my blood boil.
"Shut up, you disgusting whore! Before I torture you MYSELF!" I screamed at her. Jason walked out of the hall and I saw him head to our room. He was hurting, and I knew I could not do anything to help. I will leave him be for awhile... I know he needs alone time.
I watched as the knights took Caroline to the dungeon. I waved bye bye like a little girl waving at her best friend.
I turned and looked at Kyle. The Knights were struggling against him.
"Isabelle! Please. You KNOW me! Let me explain!" I locked eyes with him and felt tears come down.
I wrapped my arms around myself and watched as they took him away. The tears flowed down like a waterfall. Kyle saw the tears on my face and I saw his body fall.
"How... could you?" I whimpered out, shaking my head slowly and backed away from them.
"Isabelle... you, you don't understand!!" He screamed.
"Oh please, you are so pitiful." I heard Caroline say before she was out of sight.
He gave her a look and then looked back at me one more time.
I squeezed myself harder as he went out of my sight. I leaned against the wall and fell to the floor.
My best friend... is a stranger.
My mother is still out there.
Jason just lost his best friend and best Knight.
I sat there are cried for awhile.
I wanted to be alone, but also wanted to be wrapped in Jason's arms..
I need to get some air. I stood up, wiped my face and walked outside. It was dark at this point, the moon was beautiful. It was quiet. There was a common area/court yard in front of the castle. I walked over and peered down at the town.
It was picture perfect. The way the town was glowing, and the moon shining down over it. The stars twinkling in the sky in perfect patterns. The air was crisp and cool. The breeze made my hair move and I swear I heard someone whisper my name. I turned around, but no one was there. Weird.
I continued to stare at this breath-taking view.
I swear I saw something move in the corner of my eye.
I got this... unnerving feeling in my stomach. I needed to go back inside, like NOW. I could feel someone... and it wasn't a pleasant energy. I turned around and still, no one was here. I started to head inside when I heard it.
"Issssssaaaaaaabbbbeeeeelllllleeeeeee...."
"Whose there?" I said turning around facing the beautiful view. I did not like this. I was slowly backing up and not turning my back.
If there is something I've learned about this realm... It's not to trust the dark... You never know who is hiding in it.
I am slowly walking to the door, backwards still... when I felt the energy get closer because my body started to tingle, like I was gonna be stone.
"Leave me alone!" I screamed and turned around and ran to the door.
Next thing I know... I am on the ground and start to see blackness. The blackness creeped in before I could say anything.
"Ha Ha Ha. Well now dear, If I left you alone, I wouldn't get what I want. I always get what I want... Princess." I heard the man whisper in my ear as my eyes started to drift and felt heavy.
The blackness took over, I couldn't fight it any longer...
—————
I woke up and I was in a bed again, and hooked up to IV's once AGAIN.
I wish I could wake up and not be in this situation. I'm getting tired of waking up like this.
I look around and I'm... in a room.
A... Nice room?
It has beautiful murals all over the walls, the floor was a gold color and very shiny.
It smelled of.. roses?
There were 3 doors. One I'm assuming was the bathroom, one to leave and one a closet maybe?
It was kind of dark, the curtains were closed.
I looked next to the bed and there was a tray with food and water on it.
There was a chair on each side of me.
I looked down at my arms, and OF COURSE my blood was coming out of one IV and fluids in the other.
Well then. I guess it's Mark who kidnapped me? I guess he upgraded my stay. Oh how 'kind' of him.
Then the door opened and a tall male walked in.
That... is NOT Mark.
