The kings head suddenly turned towards her, he whispered something in her ear which caused slight panic to

cloud her eyes.

“He’s hurting her!” A boy stated as we all looked at the screen. It was true, the king had allowed his claws to come out and had completely embedded them into her skin, she let out a sharp wince before turning her head towards a camera and looking directly into it.

She took a deep breath, and swallowed thickly before beginning to read in a monotone bored voice. “It’s a pleasure to be here in front of you all today.” You could tell by her face and tone of voice that what she was saying definitely wasn’t the case. “From a young age every little girl dreams of being a princess, now I get to live that fantasy. When my school informed us the king was visiting I was so excited, we all hoped that we would be the Kings…”

She trailed off as She appeared to be reading what She was supposed to say, but She obviously couldn’t bring herself to say it, the words simply wouldn’t leave her mouth.

It was evident by her face that she did not like the idea of people seeing this and so she frowned and looked down, wriggling slightly in the kings hold. “Why don’t we take some questions?”

“Why isn’t queen Dylan marked yet?!” In my head I mentally answered them all. She isn’t marked because she won’t let him, simple as that.
