I open my eyes to see no light once again. 'Was that all a dream? Was I really not saved?' I thought I began to sit up only to let out a dog-like whimper of pain. 'Man I feel like I have been hit by a runaway carriage.'
"Hey lay back down. you are going to hurt yourself!" demanded a deep husky voice. "What? I squeaked out when I felt a hand on me. "Don't move or you will hurt yourself." said the voice again in a much calmer tone. "When my guards found you, you were in terrible shape. You were so close to death. You have been asleep for five days. You were covered in dried and new blood." "What happened to my face?" I whispered as I touched the bandage around my head. "You had two deep gashes around your left eye," he said in a calmer tone.
"Where am I now?" I whispered. "You are now back home in Deira. I had the guards go and find you. You have been gone for a long time. I am glad that you are alive" I hear him say. "Who are you? I do not recognize your voice. "You will get used to my voice as I am the prince who will be crowned king in a few months. My name is Alvion Katsuki. I am the man your father wanted you to marry, Before he... Maybe I can find the people who killed them if you would like. I can get the guards to start today. If you would like."
"Wait what made you change your mind so quickly. I thought you hated me?" I asked. "When you first came here I was mad that Faolon was attacked. I didn't know who attacked the castle but I do know is that I grabbed you and brought you here so you would be safe. I was upset that I couldn't ask for your fathers' hand but at the same time, I really wanted you. So I would like to apologize to you for my anger that day. I let it get the best of me."
"What are you talking about. I thought you were the one to attack my kingdom?" I questioned. "What are you talking about? I flew over to your kingdom early for the meeting only to see two dragons circling the castle and torching the place," he exclaimed. I feel him grab my hand and hold it. I began to cry because he just said he wasn't the one who hurt my family. I hope he is telling me the truth. I know my father really wanted me to get along with this guy more than anyone else I have met. So then I wonder who did kill my parents?
"Yes," I replied, "Can you find the people who killed my family and destroyed my kingdom... please..." "I will talk to the guards now." I heard him say as he let go of my hand.

I hear the door open and close again. I might as well try to get some more sleep. I finally get comfortable and then hear a knock at the door. "Come in" I scream. " Hello princess. The king had sent us to speak to you and have you meet us. My name is Ukie and this is Odelle. The king has asked us to watch over you at all times." demanded a new female voice. "Hello princess" exclaimed a new voice.
I sat up slowly and looked in the direction of the voices. "You do not need to call me princess. Atti is fine." I looked down toward my lap. "So I'm assuming after what happened he is wanting me to get guards now huh?" I whispered. "It's not only that, it's the fact that there may be someone out to hurt you after the attack of your kingdom and after the kidnapped accident. He must really care for you and for what your father told him to want to have someone watch you at all times." said the voice of the first girl. "Why is everyone mentioning him and my fathers' meeting. He told me they never met." I whisper.
''Well, Princess Atti we will be outside the door if you need anything. You let us know." said one of the guards. "Okay thank you," I whispered.

It has been a few days since I was stuck in the hospital. I am now staying in Alvions chambers until he comes back. He went off to a meeting in the town a few days aways. He said we would talk when he gets back. He left the day I woke up. He said something about courting me when he came back. I know I should be excited but I'm a little worried. I am missing my family and everyone in my homeland. I wonder if he would take me to see if it still stands? I'm really missing my best friend now. I wonder if she is okay?
I wake up hearing a knock on the chamber doors, "Come in'' I yelled. "Miss Princess Atti, you have a meeting today at noon. It is time to eat. We have your food in the dining area." Astra said while she walked through the door. "Ukie and Odell will be meeting you in the dining area once I help you get dressed," Astra said.
I get up and walk over to the mirror while Astra gets my dress ready. I had my bandages taken off a day ago and can now look around more. Although there will be scars. Almost all of the bruises and cuts are gone now. It is still hard for me to walk as I am still weak.
"Astra do you think Alvion will take me to my kingdom so I can see if it still stands? I would like to find my best friend and bring her here with me?" I asked "If you give him the name and what they look like he may go and get them for you." she answered. " he is very sweet for the ones he cares about." "I wonder if he actually would for me?" I whisper. " I do not know you will just have to ask him for yourself," she answered. "I think I will," I said back in a confident tone.
