My hands were tightly bound behind me, as I was forced to stare into the dark eyes of Bleston, as he lifted my chin up with his hands, as he spoke in his awful, menacing voice, I cringed at every word that came from his lips.

“One thing really, that’s all I asked you to do, one thing.”

Every bone in my body shuddered, as I glared hard at him, then I spoke, through clinched teeth.

“You want me to do a favor that I've already said no to. I would never marry the son of and ugly, traitor, like you!” I stared at him defiantly, as I tried to **** my head away from his grasp, but instead, I felt a sharp pain and his long fingers wrapped around my throat. I let out a loud scream, as I felt the grip tighten and all the air left my lungs, replaced with pain. Through all the pain, I could faintly hear Bleston speaking.

“Don't you ever speak to me like that again or the punishment will be a lot worse then this,, do you understand?” He spat, as he released his grip and I fell hard to the floor with scream. Then I lay there for a while, gasping and wheezing, I lied a little hand against my throat, somehow hoping that that would help but it didn’t.

“You should know when you have been beaten my dear,” Bleston said, as he looked down at me. I looked up to meet his eyes, that were filled with hatred.

Then I slowly wheezed out.

“But there's something you don't know, I haven't been beaten Bleston, not yet.”

Bleston growled, as he stormed off.

I tried to get to my feet, but I fell back down as pain shot through me.

“You shouldn’t have said that, you know?” Kylen said, as he walked over to me.

“Anymore I don’t really care what he thinks,” I said.

Kylen bent beside me and grabbed my face gently. “But I do, I care. I’m not always going to be here to save you, you know?”

I looked up into his emerald eyes, as tears rolled down my face.

“I don’t need your protection Kylen, if I want to die, I’ll die, it’s my choice,” I said.

“Die? You mean like your family?” Kylen said bitterly, as he started to untie my hands.

“How dare you bring them into this!” I yelled, as I pulled my head away from him.

Kylen rubbed his face, he looked tired, as he said. “I’m sorry Emberlei, I’m just…I don’t want you to get hurt, because of me. I don’t want you to get hurt when I’m not here to protect you.”

I stared at him. “What do you mean, when you’re not here? Kylen, what’s going on?”

Kylen sighed and rubbed at his tired eyes. “Emberlei, I’m…I’m leaving.”

“What, why?” I asked.

“My father is sending me on a mission to Cloud Mountain,” Kylen said, looking down.

“Why? Why? Why, dose everyone I love have to leave? First mama, then papa, and now you?” I sobbed, looking away.

“Emberlei, I don’t have a choice, my father, well you know how he is. I have to go,” Kylen said laying a hand on my shoulder.

I embraced him sobbing into his shoulder.

“Be careful Kylen! And please come back!” I said.

“I will Emberlei, I promise.”
