In the middle of the dark forest I sat on the ground tied to the pole. My mind was racing as I feared what was going to happen next.
There was no doubt in my mind that they were going to kill me. I had just blown the one chance I had of getting them to trust me and listen to what I had to say. If only we hadn't been set up.
I suppose this what I deserve, though I said to myself. A naïve princess had underestimated what leaving the palace and would be like. I should have never left and dragged Maya into this. What were they going to do to her now?
I was unable to sleep as I feared for myself but also
After what felt like several hours had past and I was growing exhausted as I waited in the darkness, I heard movement. Soon I saw the light from a lamp and saw two figures approaching. It was Maxus and Cairn. My blood went cold and my heartbeat faster.
