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-"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1kCoVyHGl
"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."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8XxGSSPI7
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."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS5yesJqSY
"I wish I could help you but frankly, there's nothing I can do."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHTshQda5T
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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uGS5LfbTb
Annalise jumped out of her bed, "What is that noise? It's beautiful!"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pEo1yjttC
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."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw55RoJXB07
"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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMBtIZiyen
He looked up and jumped almost off of his stool.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2mQbohnL3
"Ah, Annalise... I wanted to apologize for what I said to you earlier." He stood up from the organ and stepped closer to her.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKij6tjqogG
She closed her eyes and demanded, "Play."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSl6YMkvR3
"Pardon?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H0JellnDa
"You heard me, play." Annalise pointed at the wooden organ.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6Fv713vGV
"I wanted to apologize-"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJXH33ekCI
"If you play me the melody of before, I shall forgive your cruel words."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkAtJVqQR2
Nathaniel tensed up,"Oh, of course. For you, M'lady..."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32LjDVhiAQ
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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEGqjL16j9
"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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RPYqZmuiZ
"Y-you are forgiven." She faced her body away from him.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aNVf7BuZX
The sweet aroma of honey tickled at his nose. It was getting harder and harder to control himself.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8h35V5QEm
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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF13TgP5SN
Annalise's voice shook, "Y-your magesty, what in the world are you doing?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzXSmzrUvc
Almost instantly, he had regain conciousness. Reality smacked him in the face. Nathaniel panicked and pushed Annalise away.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDIYkO07QH
"I... I'm sorry." He couldn't look her in the eyes. Out of shame, he turned and walked away.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp02ccOXDv
"Wait, thank you for the music..." Annalise tugged against his blue, linen tunic. "It amazes me that you wrote such a beautiful masterpiece."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwnodITKUV
Nathaniel spoke in a monotone voice, "Thank you, I'm sorry but I really must be going..."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblFx5ffMJK
He walked away, leaving Annalise alone with her thoughts.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKyJB7ZlNZ
She rubbed her neck, "What the bloody hell just happend?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIXI7rPh1o
Dominic stomped over to her, "Lady Annalise, may I have a word with you?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF7OlFWKgu
"Oh sure! Actually there's something I need to say to you also." Annalise trailed along side him.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TV7RkdkWM
Dominic led her into a large, magnificent garden full of bright and colorful flowers and other plants.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbjcpwxvzv
"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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRZVwjd8dH
Annalise sighed, "Sounds kind of sketchy to me, I will need a bit more information before I promise you anything."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAADzCYOLvV
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."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B03Nd4sQe
"That's sweet. A father-son reunion!" Her eyes lit up.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSz1YeOrpa
He shook his head, "No M'lady, His Majesty and his son don't have the best relationship."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocwQ5UT0kl
She asked, "Oh... then why must we keep his arrival a secret?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKwvirpQZQ
"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."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLTvw6LVH2
"You really care about the prince, don't you?" She nodded her head to him.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnBopuz5Mk
Dominic smiled, "He's like a brother to me."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXtuCJmHSS
"That's really sweet..." Annalise couldn't hide the smile that crept onto her face.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLyx6G1s11
Trying to change the topic, "Oh, that's right. Wasn't there something you wanted to talk about with me regarding the prince?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQzYbD41uZ
"Well... yes. The weirdest thing happend. I was listening to him play the organ-" She was cut off.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wwHx8sg0t
"Oh yes, Nathaniel is quite the prodigy."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdSrlITNw9
"Anyway... when he stopped playing, he started acting strange."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1WifSDiYx
"How strange?" He asked.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsPKTp8vLw
"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..."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1662O3flCY
Dominic's eyes widened.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgB1kw1Zsg
"Are you okay Dominic?" She was worried.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9CsM1geTS
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."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmwbLHclmv
Annalise's stomach gurgled.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2boN5SDJH
"Forgive me..." She bowed her head.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmao4n67dy
"I'll let the cooks know that dinner will be served for two this evening." He lightly smirked at her.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hUN6mmMws
She nudged his shoulder, "I couldn't impose. I don't mean to be a bother to you."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q0C8y4KVs
"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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xwvo32Kur
Annalise giggled, "Whatever you say Dominic."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzhoeR49qC
When Annalise went upstairs to get ready for dinner, Dominic barged into Nathaniel's quarters.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrwyfuIVyR
He flung the door open and announced, "Prince, we have a problem."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrToRAsx2d
Nathaniel sprawled on his bed, with his tunic tossed on the floor and his top half buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSczepJeSml
He groaned with his hand over his face, "Don't you think I know that?"
