***********

My eyes deliberately open and I observe a ceiling that I wasn't accustomed to. My throat was as barren as a desert that hasn't had a rainfall in decades. Where was I? I try and sit up but my muscles weren't acknowledging my brain commands. I was possibly still deadened by the poison. It burned beyond anything I've ever felt. You think to put your arm on a heated burner hurt? This pained ten times as much! I perceived mold and raw meat and it wasn't enjoyable whatsoever.

My heartbeat stimulates as I hear footsteps echoing off the dungeon walls in the distance. I immediately close my eyes and try to pretend I'm asleep still. Not that they'd actually by it. I'm an extremely inadequate actor. As the footsteps draw closer to me my heart beat quickens to where its the only thing I could hear. Keys jingle and a lock is unlocked.

"Is she awake?" A high-pitched voice asks.

A boy chuckles. "Yeah. I could hear her heartbeat from a mile away." A boy says.

Lochan I presume. God if I could move I'd turn him into an ice crystal and let him freeze to death. And to think I actually believed he'd turn out to be a pleasant person.

I could feel that he was staring at me so I quit the act and open my eyes to glare up at the despicable Lochan. He had a smile cemented on his face, giving me more reasons to wanna kill him.

"Good morning, Princess," he says.

"Don't call me that," I growl wishing I could move right now.

He laughs. "Fiesty huh? Glenda, I think our Ice Princess needs to be escorted to her chambers." Lochan says to a tiny misshapen troll and I'm taken aback.

Chambers? Why would I be taken to my chambers if Lochan kidnapped me as their prisoner? Prisoners weren't given chambers.

"As much as I'd love to move and kill you, I can't move my body," I say as a matter of factly.

Lochan rolls his eyes and sighs, bending down to pick me up.

"Please be careful. It hurts." I whimper and his eyes seem to soften. Its gone in a blink of an eye.

His arms tuck under my body and he lifts me up to be cradled in his arms. Tears brimmed my eyes at how painful it felt.

"I'm sorry," he says as he saunters down the hallway away from my cell.

I look up at him. "Why are you sorry? You poisoned me."

He gulps and avoids my eye contact... In guilt? His eyes were soft. "I didn't want to do it." He says.

"Then why did you?"

He shakes his head refusing to respond and the conversation ends there. He walks up a couple of staircases and the uncomfortable silence made the trip appear longer. a couple of boys pass and they chortle at Lochan.

"Nice job kidnapping the Ice Princess. Who knows what the king would have done if you failed." A boy says. I recognized him from the woods.

"Thanks, Mason," Lochan says not sounding too proud.

What would the king have done? Lochan opens a door, steps over to a bed, and settles me down on top of the fine red silk. There was limited light since the drapes were closed but i could still see the decoration of the room. Of course everything had a dark red, crimson blood color. It was nice and wasn't what I was anticipating.

"Are you satisfied, Princess?" Lochan asks in a sweet voice.

"Why did you bring me here?" I ask, ignoring his question with mine.

He sits down on the side of my bed. I could scarcely see his face but I apprehended that his facial features weren't pleasant.

"The king made me bring you here. He wants to talk to you." He says.

"Why?"

"I... I'm not permitted to say." He says looking at me for a brief moment but then looks away.

He really didn't want to hurt me.

"What are you like, the king's servant?" I asked prompting him to snicker.

"Hardly. A Tracker is another word for it." He says.

I've heard of Trackers. There weren't very well-known in our lands but they were beneficial when you want to reclaim something. I had so many inquiries but I was so tired. Not that I hadn't slept plenty.

"You should get some shut-eye, Princess. The... poison should wear off by dusk. I'll have dinner made for you by then." he says and gets up off the bed and starts towards the door.

"Lochan?"

He turns to me and his green eyes burned in the darkness. They were the most beautiful set of eyes I have ever laid eyes on.

"Thank you. For making me feel suitable." I say trying to smile.

His mouth presses into a grim line and his eyes go dark. His fists tense and his muscles stiffen. "Don't thank me, Princess. It's my fault you are in this mess." He says and exits my room without another word.

Hmmmmm...

So Lochan seems to regret poisoning her. What do you think of him now?

Do you think her friends will come to her rescue?

What will go down with the Fire King?
