I took the job even though the crown prince might remember what happened last night. I mean I'm still trying to figure out if it was a dream or not. But when I took a shower this morning I found markings that weren't there last night so I know the truth. I just wish I could die. "Before you start go to the royal fashion designer. You can pick a look that'll match your style." "Ok thanks" I said with a small smile. "Of course, are you ok? You seem down today?" "I have a mad man after me why would I be ok?" I asked in a harsh tone. "Right sorry." "It's fine just please understand what I'm going through." I said walking away. "Want me to show you were their office is at?" "It's whatever you decide." I said without stopping. He decided quickly and took me too their office. The woman looked me over and then started taking measurements. "What would you like your design to be?" She asked giving me a book of uniforms. I picked the long sleeve crop top and a jacket to go with it. She also added another crop top that was short sleeve. Then I chose the pants and black knee high boots. After the fitting I went to check on the boys. They were having fun with Josh in the dining room. So I left them and started to train. Around lunch time the designer sent her assistant to tell me it was finished. I went up and pulled the black suits on. The top was a perfect size and so we're the pants and boots. "Perfecta!" She exclaimed. I smiled and thanked her then went to talk to the Admiral. I walked up to him as he was giving instructions to his group. I had tied my long black hair up so it wouldn't get in the way and it felt nice and cool outside. "Ah Chloe, what can I do for you?" Asked as he finished up his instructions. "I'm ready." I said with a tight smile. "Are you ok?" He asked looking me over then furrowed his brow. "I'm fine. I'm just tired. It's been a long week." I said waving it off. Get some rest and come back in three days. It'll give the designer more time to make you extra uniforms like that." "I can do it. Please let me." He sighed and rubbed his face. "Fine but if you start feeling bad tell me and I can have someone take your spot." "That won't be needed. Thanks anyway." "This way." He said walking back towards the way I had just come. We went passed the ball room and into the dining room where the King, Queen and Crown prince were seated eating what looked like a delicious breakfast. "Your majesties your highness sorry for interrupting your breakfast but I have found a talented guard for your highness." He said motioning me to come in. I walked in and made eye contact with the crown prince but quickly broke it and greeted their Majesties. "Jackson you never ceased to amaze me." The king said with a laugh. The Queen let out a small chuckle but continued eating. I stayed quiet and watched as the Admiral told them and me all we needed to know. After that I was told to stay with the prince at all time until the night when his night body guard would come and take my place. So when the Admiral left I stood behind him in silence. "So Chloe what did you do before you met Granny lil and her the Marqueses?" The Queen asked. "I was a fighter." I said casually. "What kinda of fighter" the king asked next. "I fought for money. It was the only way I could provide for my family with out getting them put back in the foster system." "What happened to your parents?" "Mom Dad don't bombard her with questions. She had a hard life let her have her space." Kadence finally spoke. That got the two parents to back off. After he finished eating he head to his office. I stood at his side desk while he work again in silence. "Did he hurt you?" He asked breaking the awkward not so awkward silence. "What?" "That guy from last night. Did he hurt you?" "I don't see how that any of your business your highness." I said staring at the wall. "I'm sorry I couldn't protect you. I should've tried harder." "It was my choice. And just a for future reference when it involves Blake you do what he wants with no hesitation." I said finally looking at him. "Is that what he taught you?" "All my life. Either obey orders or suffer. For each soldier the pain is different." "What is your pain?" "Nothing." I lied. He sighed and gave up continuing his work. When it was lunch time the prince decided to go to the city for instead of staying in the castle. As protocol I would sit in the passenger seat and the prince in the back. There was no problem with this other than the fact that he kept staring at me. I tried as hard as I could to ignore it but the longer I did the more twitchy I got. "Stop here Steve." Kadence said. When he stopped Steve got out and opened the door for Kadence and I got out and met them on the other side. "Where are you wanting to eat are?" He asked. "It doesn't matter." I answered vaguely. "Come on I don't want you to eat something you don't want to." "That won't be a problem because i won't be eating." "Why?" "The Admiral said that I shouldn't eat with you so I can stay on guard. And I'm not hungry." "Come on! Please! You can stay on guard and eat." He pleaded. "No." "You can't say no to a Crown Prince." He said happily. "Maybe your other guards couldn't but I can." I said in a plain just as before. "Says who?" I sighed and walked into the nearest restaurant. He followed and came up behind me as I was talking to the receptionist. "A table for one. In the most peaceful area you have." I requested. "Of course, this way please." She said grabbing silverware. We followed her to the second floor and she sat us at the table but the window. I motioned for the prince to sit. He did and I stood by his left side. The waitress came over and asked what he wanted to drink. He ordered a bottle of red wine. She left and went to go get it. While he ate we kept getting glances. I kept my face emotionless and just stood there. "Would you like to try some?" Kadence asked. I looked at the red substance in the glass. A memory flashed before my eyes as time stopped.
"You asked for me?" I said walking into the dining room. "Yes, sit." Blake said motioning to the chair on his right. I sat and looked at my hands. He put a plate in front of me. "Eat." He said cutting up the steak and putting it in front of my mouth. I went to grab the fork but he pulled it away. "I will feed you." He said, putting in front of my mouth again. Not questioning it I opened my mouth and he stuck it in. I chewed then swallowed it quickly. After he fed me steak and mashed potatoes he made me drink a whole glass of red wine. I felt dizzy and my face get warm. He guided me into the drawing room. We both sat on the couch. He had me cuddled in his arm. He turned and put his face only inches from mine. His eyes were dilated and were filled with hunger. I just looked at him with in surrender. I had given up when he first showed his true self. I knew what he was capable of so why fight anymore? He kissed my lightly then went deeper to where I could feel what he wanted. I felt happiness bloom in my heart. He still loved me. Even though my parents died and he locked us up and he was kinda bad I would do anything for him. His hand snakes up my shirt as he deepened the kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck. Then there was a knock, "Sir, we have a problem." The guard said. Blake pulled back with a aggravated sigh. "I'll be there in five minutes." He said in a low voice. "Yes sir." The guard said then left. Blake smirked at me as I giggled. And we continued where we left off for the five minutes he left for me. "I know you're still grieving your parents but remember I will always love you no matter what others say. You may have doubts about me sometimes but You'll always come back to me. Don't worry though it'll be by your choice." He said giving me another quick kiss. "I love you so much Blake!" I said hugging him. "I know baby." He said hugging me back. "I swear I'll do whatever you want no matter what." I said kissing him one more time before he left. He smiled "I count on it." Then with that he left.
I snapped out of the memory. "No thanks." I said. "Please." I looked at him. Then let out a sigh and took it. I took the smallest sip I could. "It needs more sweetness." I commented. "You know a lot about wine." He said with a laugh. I handed it back the stayed quiet. After he ate we left and went back to the castle. He dismissed me and said I wasn't to come back until it was time for dinner. I left and changed into my regular dark comfy clothes and went to go find the boys. I found them playing with Eliot on the playground. I ran up and scared the two by tickling them. They giggled and squirmed until I stopped. "Chlo you're back! Where'd you go?" Ryjel asked. "I got a job that will help protect you two!" I said sitting on the grass. Eliot came over and sat by us. He didn't say anything just observed. "Are you still going to play with us?" Reilly asked sitting in my lap. "Yes, I'll play with you in the afternoons and when we play in the night!" I said happily. They both laughed and nodded their heads. I hugged them and let them continue their games with Eliot and Jim I went to the training grounds and looked at the weapons they had. I lightly trailed my hand over them. "You like weapons?" Kadence asked coming up to me. "Yea, my mom said it was one of my dad's favorite things. She said that we came first though." I said grabbing the dagger. "You must miss your mom." He said. I looked down and my feet and felt as the tears started to build up. "Yea, I do. I should have listened to her. She protected me from Blake u til her last breath." I said as the tears started to fall down slowly. The memories of my mom flooded my mind. Kadence turned me around and cupped my face. He looked at me with sad but soft eyes. He pulled me into a hug and just held me. After a while I pushed him away. "I'm sorry. I should act that way." I said. "It's alright you had a hard childhood. I would say I understand but I can't even imagine what you went through as a little girl." He said holding my hand. I didn't respond instead I payed attention to the sparks and rippling going through my body as he touched me. "What is that?" I asked unknowingly out loud. "What?" He asked. "The sparks that I'm feeling?" I said looking at him. "You feel it too?" He said with excitement in his voice. "What?" "You'll find out soon. But you should probably talk to elder Lilian." He said a little embarrassed. I let go of his hand "I'm going on a walk." I said heading to the forest. I just had to make sure of something before I do anything reckless. "Okay, be careful!" He said after me. I didn't respond and kept walking. I entered the forest and immediately felt a fear I didn't feel unless I was in the presence of Blake. I put my guard up and walked to the cabin where it all happened. My chest tightened and my hands started to shake. When I touched the door handle all of the things that happened last night flashed before my eyes. I took a deep breath the opened the door. I walked in and left the door open. I went over to the bed that was in the corner. I u covered the sheets. There was nothing there. I squeezed my eyes shut and screamed! I threw all the stuff on the bed side table to the floor. The glass lamp shattered and there was glass all around me. I bent down and started picking it up. I came to a big piece and picked it up. I slide across my hand and cut me. I stared at it as tears started dripping on the floor. I dropped all the other pieces and held the big on over my right forearm. The scar had sealed up finally. I hovered the glass shard over my arm, but I decided I'd put it over my heart. My hand shaking I squeezed my eyes shut and went to stab myself. Someone grabbed my wrist and I opened my eyes. There was Kadence. He looked at my with sadness, worry and anger. All these emotions flashed in his fully black eyes. My tears continued to fall even though he had found me. He softly took the glass out of my hand and then pulled me into a hug. "Shhhh" he whispered at I sobbed in his chest. He rubbed my back and held me so close. "Always find me, ok?" He said burying his face in my hair. "Because I won't leave you behind." He finished. I sobbed harder and hugged him tighter. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Said over and over. "Shhhhhh, it's ok. I'm here now." We stayed in that position until the sun went down. When I finally stopped crying Kadence helped me up. He grabbed a white rag that was laying on the ground and wrapped my hand in it. Then he held me close to his side and helped me walk to the castle. Before we exited the forest he help es me wash up so no one would find out what happened today. I hid my hand behind my back as the boys ran towards us when we came to the garden. I hugged them and kissed their foreheads before Kadence said that he needed to talk to me and took me away from my brothers. We both sat in his office alone. "I'm sorry if I over stepped my boundaries but you seemed troubled so I let you wonder to see what you would do. I'm just trying to help you." He said grabbing my hand. "I looked down at the bloody rag covering my hand. "Thank you. If it wasn't for you I have done something I would regret. and that's not what I want." I looked him in the eyes. "Blake has constantly hurt me. In so many ways. But this...this was the worst. And I need help to get through it. You're the only one that knows what happened last night. And you are the only one I can trust. So please don't make me regret this." I said staring at him. He gave me a warm smile and nodded. "Of course. Now go get changed and take a shower then come down for dinner." He said helping me up once again. I left and went to take a shower. I came out of our rooms bathroom in a big black t-shirt and black shorts. I put a pair of socks and got out my black converse. About to put them on I bent down and saw something under the bed. It was a big grey paw. My eyes widened and I scrabbled back. The grey wolf crawled out and stood up. He towered over me by a lot. I was sitting on the floor as he approached me. I scrabbled back more until I hit the bedroom door. The wolf walked up to me then transformed. Blake's face was inches from mine. I was breathing hard and he played with my hair. "I love this smell. You should wear raspberry more often." He said getting closer to my face. "Please Blake let me go!" I cried. He wiped the tears away with his thumb then he picked me up. I tried to fight but he just held on tighter. I screamed and sobbed. "No! No! No! Please no!" I said over and over again. "I miss you Chloe." He said setting me on the bed. I tried to fight but he just held me close to his chest. My face buried in his chest I cried. "I know I've done some bad thing baby, but can you please forgive me. I've changed. I was just trying to protect you from people that would want to hurt you. It may have gotten a bit out of hand but I'm better." He said rubbing my back. "I-I-I don't want to. Please let me live in peace!" I said squeezing his shirt in my fist. "Do t worry this bad dream will be over soon. And everything will be like before." "No I don't want it to!" I screamed. "You don't always get what you want. I should know. I just want to fuck you right now. But it'd make to much noice and I can't get caught." He said in a cold voice. There was a pounding on my door that interrupted Blake. "CHLOE!! CHLOE ARE YOU OKAY!!? CHLOE OPEN THE DOOR!" Kadence yelled through the door. I tried to scream back but Blake smothered it by kissing me. He groaned as he went deeper. Finally he let go then disappeared. I crumbled on the bed and shook. Kadence broke through the door and ran to my side. "Chloe?" He asked. I had my eyes squeezed shut. "Is it over? Is he gone?" I said barely audible. "You're okay I'm here now." He said bringing me into his arms. I heard someone else run in and let out a bunch of curse words on Blake. Before I knew it I had fallen asleep and didn't wake up until I felt someone shake me. I slowly opens my eyes. There was granny lil. "Come on sweet. Sit up." She said helping me. She fed me some kind of soup and put me back down to sleep. Blake appeared in my dreams. He said he'd be back but it would take him months. And that was when I finally started getting better. And I found out. Blake's pleasure is Death recreated.
