I may be spent two days in the jail cell. Both days were without food and both were suffering the hit of the guards. Many of the guards groped me. Some of them even pulled section of my hair off. It was a painful two days. Eventually Fear came in and rescued me. I couldn't stand that I had to be saved again. It was a foolish day for me. Wolfe saved me that same month and now I have to be saved by Fear. I respected Fear, because he didn't do anything mean, sexual, or anything that would publicly embarrass me. He did not reveal to the public that I was in fact Midnight Princess.

"Do you know anything of my past? Do you know where I originated from? Cibbon is not a name from the Imbalka's. I searched every book on this island. Fear, where do I come from? Why does Love hate me with so much anger?" Tears can't help but stream down my face. I know nothing of my real past. I only know that I am descended from Cibbon, Nalian, my father, Elkina, my mother. Most know that they come from this place. Imbalka is a land that has many names that are well known. Cibbon, Nalian, Elkina are not some of them. Even when I asked Wolfe about them, the names did not ring a bell in his head. It was surprising. I knew then and there I was not an Imbalkan.

"I do not know anything past the Imbalkian lands. I never tried to venture past our stars. Maybe that is why your destiny is set in stone. I am meant to help you find your origins." Fear always responds with that answer. His face says it all though. He knows nothing but the Imbalkian lands. It stings my heart. It tears the love and respect I had for my mother and father.

"That is okay." I nod. He talks about my destiny like it is some grand quest. That he is a sidekick meant to supply me with help when needed. I knew deep in my bones that this is meant to be.

"Have you decided about becoming my wife?" Fear asks me.

"I have. I will become your wife," I say.

"You have made me the happiest god on this island." I laugh and he laughs. I wrap my arms around his neck. It is Love's move, in our deadly game. It will also be her last move. She will not realize this until it is too late.

Supper arrives and I am not fearing what could possibly happen to me. Love enjoys her company with Fear, and I have ruined it. She will see this soon. When I arrive it my long gown. The gown is made of Tamchian silks. The silks fit my body perfectly. They are smooth, yet rough to others who touch them.

Love looks at me with surprise in her eyes.

"Adelina I was not expecting you to join us today. In fact, I thought you were supposed to be in prison. After all, you did poison the queen," she states.

"Well the king pardoned me. I was invited to this evening's dinner. The least we can do is not fight over it like some cats." I fire back. We nod at each other. "It is your move, now."

The evening's dinner goes great. The Chardonnay wine with the pork was perfected. I kiss Fear on the cheek, and whisper goodbye to him. I head to his room, hoping that his warmth will envelop me into a slumber. I grew used to sleeping by him. He forced me when I was nothing but his servant. Now I am his fiance, so I will be required to sleep by him. Love and Fear were never officially married, there is no reason to call Love the queen. She is just a power hungry bitch.

Fear walks in with Merle by his side. Merle is limping.

"I am sorry. Love managed to break his left back leg." He says it with such remorse that I can't help but cry. It saddens me that she would stoop this low. Now it is my turn. I will kill whomever is in her bed tonight with her. Love will fight me in the arena tomorrow. I will have to win. I grew fond of Fear to lose him this early. His aroma fills the air around me. Merle jumps onto the bed and curls next to me. Fear soon towers over me, revealing his deep toned chest. The facts are I never fell in love with someone. Especially someone as sexy as Fear. Fear had a body like a god.

"Gray, I know you want me, but can you wait until I am ready?" I ask. I don't want to rush our relationship. I want to enjoy it while it lasts. I curl my arms around his neck and raise my body close to him. I gently kiss him on the lips. It feels natural. In three days, I can legally give my body away to whoever I choose. I hope I will still be with Fear by then. Only one way to find out.

Midnight arrives. I carefully sneak out of Fear's grasp. I slide my kukri blades in to my hands. The blades feel natural and lightweight. I run silently down the hall to Love's room. I hear gasps and moans coming from with in. She is with someone. I open up the door silently.

The blades fly through the air quickly. One damages my wrist. I throw my last kukri blade at Love and run to Fear's room. I lost. Love knew of my plan. I turned from Strategist to Revenger. I lost the game of Drakoi. Tomorrow, I will challenge her to a fight in the arena. It is my last hurrah.
