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-"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZam8p4iEyo
"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."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFZG035XUL
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."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmg0QZNCSY
"I wish I could help you but frankly, there's nothing I can do."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8DX0a4X6w
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOo2e48v7v
Annalise jumped out of her bed, "What is that noise? It's beautiful!"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj7A9xehEN
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."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHboWmFTSG
"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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl1NwcvBkW
He looked up and jumped almost off of his stool.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6CJowqIqI
"Ah, Annalise... I wanted to apologize for what I said to you earlier." He stood up from the organ and stepped closer to her.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKJhkyiGCC
She closed her eyes and demanded, "Play."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZRLn5lRNP
"Pardon?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3btNnCtL58
"You heard me, play." Annalise pointed at the wooden organ.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClgDp6Nlct
"I wanted to apologize-"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EyghHkVxy
"If you play me the melody of before, I shall forgive your cruel words."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0dZM0Mhkg
Nathaniel tensed up,"Oh, of course. For you, M'lady..."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXohLruJ4B
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07S6gwcvYS
"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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP2SSfXPj9
"Y-you are forgiven." She faced her body away from him.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt52J0pNWQ
The sweet aroma of honey tickled at his nose. It was getting harder and harder to control himself.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRIPTYtXkf
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrp86Gb0Wc
Annalise's voice shook, "Y-your magesty, what in the world are you doing?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxLTi5lJzm
Almost instantly, he had regain conciousness. Reality smacked him in the face. Nathaniel panicked and pushed Annalise away.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlAKhLwCg1
"I... I'm sorry." He couldn't look her in the eyes. Out of shame, he turned and walked away.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE8ba1o9xg
"Wait, thank you for the music..." Annalise tugged against his blue, linen tunic. "It amazes me that you wrote such a beautiful masterpiece."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w17Fx0kKH
Nathaniel spoke in a monotone voice, "Thank you, I'm sorry but I really must be going..."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfwOcG64yc
He walked away, leaving Annalise alone with her thoughts.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzukIj7Ep6h
She rubbed her neck, "What the bloody hell just happend?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb1FACDdxO
Dominic stomped over to her, "Lady Annalise, may I have a word with you?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmCRxV52We
"Oh sure! Actually there's something I need to say to you also." Annalise trailed along side him.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w3iZyHvxX
Dominic led her into a large, magnificent garden full of bright and colorful flowers and other plants.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOzjxIVpoP
"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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLcZGIwUn1
Annalise sighed, "Sounds kind of sketchy to me, I will need a bit more information before I promise you anything."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CAOca0AUM
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."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOWRhvAB08
"That's sweet. A father-son reunion!" Her eyes lit up.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO4j4qoEVT
He shook his head, "No M'lady, His Majesty and his son don't have the best relationship."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RRfV6BcMX
She asked, "Oh... then why must we keep his arrival a secret?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuebXMT8SO
"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."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBEdJUyP4T
"You really care about the prince, don't you?" She nodded her head to him.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLWv7Z3KDl
Dominic smiled, "He's like a brother to me."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIO5QOdbEy
"That's really sweet..." Annalise couldn't hide the smile that crept onto her face.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneYgCoGA5v
Trying to change the topic, "Oh, that's right. Wasn't there something you wanted to talk about with me regarding the prince?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWQT7bDQeL
"Well... yes. The weirdest thing happend. I was listening to him play the organ-" She was cut off.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGDS9JLeuK
"Oh yes, Nathaniel is quite the prodigy."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTlZFfJdXs
"Anyway... when he stopped playing, he started acting strange."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTY6ql8Qv9
"How strange?" He asked.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ78s0lslfA
"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..."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXXAo8iSl2
Dominic's eyes widened.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRvKfAceb2
"Are you okay Dominic?" She was worried.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpw5patEd9
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."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGsvd1QtuK
Annalise's stomach gurgled.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU41Q9kZCXb
"Forgive me..." She bowed her head.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhkcHuVDqd
"I'll let the cooks know that dinner will be served for two this evening." He lightly smirked at her.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z5OOChuBI
She nudged his shoulder, "I couldn't impose. I don't mean to be a bother to you."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsctNXZmOMH
"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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl5Ue078Wv
Annalise giggled, "Whatever you say Dominic."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJyU5r46B5
When Annalise went upstairs to get ready for dinner, Dominic barged into Nathaniel's quarters.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLpbWhuhxG
He flung the door open and announced, "Prince, we have a problem."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8IDCLR0eo
Nathaniel sprawled on his bed, with his tunic tossed on the floor and his top half buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzLCG4h5bN
He groaned with his hand over his face, "Don't you think I know that?"
