Annalise sprung herself onto her bed, tears in her eyes. She repeatedly smashed her fist against the pillow.

Annalise gritted her teeth, "That bastard has no respect for women, what a vulgar piece of-"
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4TWvAqzpx
"M-M'lady, you run quite fast..." Emonie scurried toward Annalise. "Look, the prince didn't mean what he said. When anger takes control of him, he loses track of himself." Emonie stroked Annalise's crimson hair. "He's really kind once you get to know him."
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIbvToS1dY
Annalise cried out, "I don't want to get to know him! I just want to go home to my mother and continue my life the way it was."
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTvKjtiUn6
"I wish I could help you but frankly, there's nothing I can do."
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ0WCw4t5K
A haunting melody danced around the walls of the castle. Nathaniel played his organ to let out his anger. Music had always helped him release his anger.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjzBVDKSAi
Annalise jumped out of her bed, "What is that noise? It's beautiful!"
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdpZ2hUmzD
Emonie chimed, "Talented, isn't he? Prince Nathaniel has been playing the organ since he was a 4. He's a remarkable man, I dare to say."
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAhbpH8STj
"Yeah, yeah..." Almost as if she were put under a trance, Annalise followed the trail of the melody. The music brought her back to the Grand Hall where the prince was left alone, playing the wonderous tune.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QFZNlLemM
He looked up and jumped almost off of his stool.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gbkLpJCuB
"Ah, Annalise... I wanted to apologize for what I said to you earlier." He stood up from the organ and stepped closer to her.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGY7JDmo5C
She closed her eyes and demanded, "Play."
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1eOMlYaGC
"Pardon?"
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZs0KDpdAx
"You heard me, play." Annalise pointed at the wooden organ.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeDMJUZd8J
"I wanted to apologize-"
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44gi21ajjz
"If you play me the melody of before, I shall forgive your cruel words."
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mFjSEIdSz
Nathaniel tensed up,"Oh, of course. For you, M'lady..."
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG26Nbp5go
He sat back down at the organ and began to flutter his fingers across the keys. Music flooded through Annalise's ear. A haunting, heavenly melody danced around his finger tips. When he stopped playing, he grinned over at Annalise.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLLHu7YFqg
"So... Did you enjoy my music? I actually wrote the piece that I just played. Not to brag or anything..." Nathaniel smirked at a slightly blushing Annalise.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcppb5AIwK
"Y-you are forgiven." She faced her body away from him.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXvTMZ9jAl
The sweet aroma of honey tickled at his nose. It was getting harder and harder to control himself.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3AmgsxOIb
Annalise tousled her hair behind her ear. Nathaniel couldn't control his urges anymore. He wrapped his arms around Annalise's waist. Out of shock, she froze in place. Nathaniel circled around her neck with his tongue, his fangs slowly forming out of his gums.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9VCdnD2sB
Annalise's voice shook, "Y-your magesty, what in the world are you doing?"
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0hbsDA09Y
Almost instantly, he had regain conciousness. Reality smacked him in the face. Nathaniel panicked and pushed Annalise away.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK4UpLSceT
"I... I'm sorry." He couldn't look her in the eyes. Out of shame, he turned and walked away.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwZn2tnfob
"Wait, thank you for the music..." Annalise tugged against his blue, linen tunic. "It amazes me that you wrote such a beautiful masterpiece."
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YW7zKHGYp
Nathaniel spoke in a monotone voice, "Thank you, I'm sorry but I really must be going..."
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEteZSyCkcg
He walked away, leaving Annalise alone with her thoughts.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVUSfGZcV2
She rubbed her neck, "What the bloody hell just happend?"
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuitlJdX0QF
Dominic stomped over to her, "Lady Annalise, may I have a word with you?"
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jF5g4No7k
"Oh sure! Actually there's something I need to say to you also." Annalise trailed along side him.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K1iKXvwMU
Dominic led her into a large, magnificent garden full of bright and colorful flowers and other plants.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSJhRmmwr5
"I have to tell you something and you must promise to keep it confidential. The prince must never find out about this." Dominic frowned at his thoughts.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2LBjCT1FZ
Annalise sighed, "Sounds kind of sketchy to me, I will need a bit more information before I promise you anything."
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ2eDKSiWN
Dominic rolled his eyes at her, "Very well... tomorrow is Prince Nathaniel's birthday and his father, the king will be surprising him with his arrival."
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXucVDjWhOF
"That's sweet. A father-son reunion!" Her eyes lit up.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKkee176P9
He shook his head, "No M'lady, His Majesty and his son don't have the best relationship."
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSi9UjjReY
She asked, "Oh... then why must we keep his arrival a secret?"
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunS7sT8WAY
"If he finds out before hand, he won't ever leave his room. Him and his father need to patch up their relationship." He patted her shoulder, "I count on you to help me."
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAJhKcO9QB
"You really care about the prince, don't you?" She nodded her head to him.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg91tH8fXf
Dominic smiled, "He's like a brother to me."
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9fRJCI9Hv
"That's really sweet..." Annalise couldn't hide the smile that crept onto her face.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp46cjM1G9G
Trying to change the topic, "Oh, that's right. Wasn't there something you wanted to talk about with me regarding the prince?"
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OuTA4zs7W
"Well... yes. The weirdest thing happend. I was listening to him play the organ-" She was cut off.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnNJWr1u3l
"Oh yes, Nathaniel is quite the prodigy."
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrsfEd5ZtC
"Anyway... when he stopped playing, he started acting strange."
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFhroidZVG
"How strange?" He asked.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0MZ5V1uGA
"The prince tightened his grip around me... I was so shocked that I couldn't move. And then..." She touched her neck. "Oh nevermind, it's too embarrassing. You wouldn't believe me anyway..."
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgVlk7UKky
Dominic's eyes widened.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPU484ktWp
"Are you okay Dominic?" She was worried.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bzaaOXray
His voice trailed for a moment, "Oh, yeah... I'm perfectly fine, you on the other hand have a crazy imagination!" He forced out a couple of convincing laughs. "I think what you need is some sleep and you'll be fine."
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTBFSp6Hia
Annalise's stomach gurgled.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTT1Qa2E6W
"Forgive me..." She bowed her head.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KhAFqvgWl
"I'll let the cooks know that dinner will be served for two this evening." He lightly smirked at her.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2znrkOlStx
She nudged his shoulder, "I couldn't impose. I don't mean to be a bother to you."
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLFhJXCisD
"How could you be a bother? I'm not the one cooking. Plus, what kind of man would I be if I let a poor lady go without food. That would be most ungentleman like." He pursed his lips teasingly.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0OnUeiTxb
Annalise giggled, "Whatever you say Dominic."
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpDqBJksDZ
When Annalise went upstairs to get ready for dinner, Dominic barged into Nathaniel's quarters.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws8Yzgalxr
He flung the door open and announced, "Prince, we have a problem."
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U1HnSt3kq
Nathaniel sprawled on his bed, with his tunic tossed on the floor and his top half buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned.
670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ7QaYwgDk
He groaned with his hand over his face, "Don't you think I know that?"
