Prince Luciano and Sabrina could be seen under a tree with the lottery,they kept taking the fruits nonstop. Prince Luciano done with oranges, went for gra-pes in the basket
He hummed in savory and Sabrina, having all her eyes on him took it away instantly
“Partially, you still disobeyed me, you know”He finally spoke up, having his full focus on the gold ring in his hand
He’d dropped the rest on the gra-pes in the basket and spread a still and silent atmosphere around them
“There’s no how I can possibly ki-ss that old man,,,his breathe stinks. And apart from that, it’s a shame on me considering the number of crowds watching….”she spoke, dragging her words slowly along with her tongue
She turned her back slowly at him,,,trying to avoid the expression that’ll be on his face now
“But I stole it as per what you said right? I hope you don’t do as you’ve said with what I mistakenly said with my mouth,,,,”she furthered
And hearing no reply from him, she frowned her face
“Prince,,,,,am sorry,,, okay?”she said with soft mutters, and with a swift, turned her head to sideways back at him
But he was nowhere to be found,,,,
“I’m doomed…!”she jerked up to her feet at once with any further delay
She ran to check behind the tree they are staying under but he isn’t there
She turned back, having her back on the tree as she let her eyes roam round her surroundings
“Am Polly,,,,An angel from the BEAUTY LAND”The voice suddenly echoed to her from the air
Hearing this,,she flinched back three meters away. Her heart beating as fast as possible
The BEAUTY LAND??,,,,why is it now of all time??
She hasn’t even enjoyed the beauty,,,
“You still remembered why you came to us right,,, and what was said??”the rumbling voice echoed like a thunder this time
It was like a brain was refreshed immediately cause her mind starts to flash back to that day and time
“I came for beauty, yes; that’s what am here for. The pain and suffering am getting from my ugliness is killing me slowly but…..”she had stated before going on a confusing trail off
“No buts. The beauty you shall get….”the sorceress cuts into her thoughts.
“Any ugly human who comes here must get the beauty this land possesses. As it’s forbidden for a ugly being to step onto this land”the sorceress added, leaving no room for any kind of protest from her
“O…kay ma’am,”she had nodded her head, finally giving in
“Am ready to take beauty away from this land”the sorceress smiled on hearing this, she snapped her fingers together and two young handsome men ran in
Truly…..Beauty stays nowhere else but here
“Take her inside the room,”the had sorceress told the men, pointing towards her
She walked forward and one of the mean lead the way while the second followed behind her
“And remember, a sacrifice has to be made”the sorceress said. She had stopped at the room’s door when the woman’s voice came to her…..There’s no turning back right?, how she had took the last step, finally stepping in.
The sacrifice???,,,what they asked from her?!
That’s why she’s here right now?, but it’s just so sudden. She still needs to find the prince, who knows if something bad had happened to him where he is right now
“,, Firstly Sabrina B, you have follow him home by all means. Either by force or at his own will…..”Angel Polly’s voice stated in command
“But,,,the prince?? how will I do that when I can’t even find him”she shuttered, her right hand finding its way to her face
Sweats had formed over her forehead and even the face down to her neck.This made her sigh out in distress,,,
“You will find him, just go away from this spot and he’ll come your way….”As the voice was saying, it slows down slowly at each saying of her words,,,before finally trailing off
And she was gone!
She snapped her head around to find herself in a forest,,how did she appear here all of a sudden??
Was she here all the while that she was on the look for the prince?
“Holy Molly……!!,Help me out Father lord”A feeling overwhelmed her that she didn’t wait for any other thing, she just took to her heels and out of the forest
“Where on earth is she then?,”Prince Luciano gro-aned out in frustration as he just finished asking of her from the seventh person today since she’d went missing
How had they parted??,,,did she perhaps vanished from her side back then??
He ran his hands all throu-ghhis hair, he is so confused
Or was she kidnapped??, he just hopes he finds her before it becomes dark and the royal guards are sent to go find him
“That’s him!!”Sabrina smiled, her hand was pointing at him as her eyes wide-ned
“Prince Luciano!!….Is that you?”she screamed on top of her voice until the voice got to him and he turned to her direction
She breathed out,,so lost of breathes. Her legs has weakened and she might just collapse at any time
Prince Luciano trudged to meet her, a dirty smirk on his charming face
“Where were you?”He asked curiously, his arms folded across his chest
“Who knows? maybe the mother goddess had parted us for a few moments”she wanted to say,,,but let the reply go to her mind only
“I don’t know,,,I mean,,maybe I was lost in the forest”she answered, looking up at him now
“What? how??”he was so blanked at the possibility
“Never mind prince,,,,can you take me home with you please?, I might just loose consciousness now if care isn’t taken”she said, pouting innocently at him
“No!, it’s impossible……”he was saying when something suddenly jerked into him, and he stared at the space for a brief minute before facing her,,,a smile on his face
“Yes, why not,, come with me”
She jumped up on her feet and grinned stylishly knowing who was behind his sudden change of tone,,,
“Let’s go Prince,,”she smiled back at him and he nodded, leading the way
At The Palace!*****
Prince Luciano stepped into the royal palace with Sabrina by her side,,her eyes wasn’t on where they were going but instead was wandering around the mansion, admiring it with her huge eyes that was now on the venge of bursting.
His steps was fast-er than usual and before she knew it, he was out of her sight
Without her knowing which way he took or maybe,,he’s now up in his room
She looked ahead of her and saw a room, painted with blue colour. That must be his room.
She walked there and was about having her hand on the door knob and open the door when she started to hear a different voice from his
“,Ten feets under the ground is okay….Oh, he is,,,,,he is Prince Luciano Myles….Kill him……We are not that close you know…do it tonight…..”she would hear a part and the other part would be unheard,,as the masculine voice goes a little low
She joined all those words practically together in her head and her mouth was sent agape
She attempted to run away from the door when it suddenly opened and a hand went around her neck,,,tightly held back to the owner of the voice chest
A knife was then sent to her neck….

Cold shivers ran down her spine, leaving no where in her body untouched. Her feet froze to the spot, unable to move. Eyes dropping gone wrong, she’s so dead.
Death has come for her now that she no longer desires for it.
“Who are you?”A husky dangerous voice sounded in her ear, leaving no room whatsoever for denial.
Seth got more angry when she didn’t utter a word,,that got him more angrier. He pushed her away without a care and she fell on the floor on her b*utt
“I said who are you!!.”he half yelled rigorously, pointing the knife at her face
“I’m a nobody and I came in here with prince Luciano,,”she answered, rubbing her hurting. neck
“But I will go and find him now,,”she stood up on her feet and not minding the glare he bore into her face,,she ran off
“Hey!…”Seth attempts to run after her but stopped halfway
He ran his hand throu-ghhis hair in total confusion,,she was actually eyedropping on him
Who could she be??
******
Sabrina instead of running up the stairs before her back then, she turned another the corner and hide behind it
She kept peeping till he was gone before walking that same way and after she had pas-shis doorstep, she took to her heels
Finally out of the palace and far away from it, she slumped on the floor with her chest going up and down caused by unsteady heartbeat
“I just saw death face to face”she palm faced herself
Sabrina walked home, on getting to their doorstep, she opened the door and had only taken a step in when she saw her most dreadful sight….
“Raymond!!…. what’s he doing here?”she was taken aback
Of all people she hates to see,,he’s the number one
“Oh she’s here, Sabrina!!”Austen called her in
And that was when Raymond turned to look,,before he could see her, she’d escaped
To the third house to theirs,,he is her top bully in school and always finds her a little hint of mistake to punish her
But what could see do?, back then she was so helpless
No one will come to her aid,, like, no one would want a stain of ugliness from an ugly being
“,I don’t think he’ll recognize me anymore, but Austen,,,”her eyes wide-ned as she realizes
“He would have told him about my sudden change of look,,well, maybe it’s time to also change my character in school. I won’t be the fearful girl but the fearless,,,if he tries to bully me again or any sort of it, I will face him…yes!, that’s it”
She gave herself a kudos for the wish thinking
“Is that Sabrina or someone else?, or God,,did you get yourself drunk today or what?….how can you imagine that girl to be your sister whereas you know well how she looks”Raymond chuckled
“Am not drunk Raymond,, she’s my sister, Sabrina”he replied
“Seriously??,,,”Raymond was blanked
“Yeah, of course. Why she ran away on seeing you is what I still can’t figure out”he said
“Or was there something you were doing to her back then,,,”he focused his gaze intently on him
“Back when?,,”Raymond questioned
“Stop pretending,,,I mean back then when she was ugly”he repeated, inpatient for an answer
“Nothing,,, what would I possibly do to your sister that’d make her run away from me”Raymond said
“Better,,,else Raymond….”he said before cutting himself off, as an impending warning
“Well,,, she’s so cute now you know, much more than I can express”Raymond winked at him before looking out of the opened door maybe he will see her
*****
Days later~~~~
M-Pavarotti Academy……..?
It’s a new session,,the students are back to school after the full holiday. The carpark is all filled up, the school does not only have students from Magadascar Kingdom, some from far and wide attends the school
It’s well know for its academic standard and large population,,,the top best school out of the twelve kingdoms
It’s owned by Garrett Pavarotti; the king of Magadascar Kingdom
It’s name after him and his last most loved son,,, Prince Luciano Myles
The prince last name and the king’s own was joined together by the king,,and with that he made the school a great name
“Yayyyy!!!…..Back to school!”Anita and her minions ran into the cla-ssroom in jubilee
The students on the way quickly made way for them to avoid the avoidable,,
“This is my last year in college,,am so very happy you know”some sets of student were discussing as they found their ways to their cla-ss
“Let’s stop here Austen!,”Sabrina patted her brother’s back, telling him to stop as he was about riding into the school
“You aren’t walking in with your legs,,,you either jump down and get yourself injured doll”he didn’t give in
He raced his cla-ssy motorbike inside the school compound and stopped after parking,,,
“You’re so stubborn,,”Sabrina got off the bike and rook off the hamlet, giving it back to him
“Whatever doll,,”he rolled his eyes as he took the hamlet from her
They both started heading to the path that connects to their different cla-sses,,,
?Austen has grown more cuter?
? Who is that girl??,,,his girlfriend??
?Is she new??
? She’s more cuter than Anita, wow!!?
?An award goes to her,,,,what a damsel! ?
?Is Austen related to her????
“Humans and rumors,,”Sabrina covered her ears, to avoid it getting blocked from the loud and whispered comments from the students
“How I wish you know how great you look, you won’t ease to be the talk of the school”Austen replied her
“Okay,,for how long?”she looked up at him
He shrugged,,
“Who knows,, maybe a year or two, it can actually be forever”he said, chuckling
“Seriously Austen,,”she frowned, quite pissed
“What doll?? why the glare?, am actually saying the truth. it might not end till you are out of this school; till you graduate”he muttered
“Anyhow,,see you…..”she waved at him as they came at the end of the way for them, they have to go their seperate ways now
“Oh…bye doll”he waved back at her and she giggles,,running off
She entered the clas-sand to her luck, the teacher was just entering
She headed to her seat though knowing how much the clas-swas staring at her,,
She furthered on, going to take her usual seat which has her name
“Wait!… you’re a new student so you should give us an introduction of yourself before going to seat”the teacher, Mr Will stopped her
“Am not Sir,,”she turned back and replied, she knew he’s going to stop her though
“You’re not?, who are you then??”Mr Will asked
“I’m Sabrina Killian, a student of this school and this is my cla-ss”she responded
? Sabrina?, how can that be??
? Sabrina was ugly if am not mistaken?
?It’s impossible,,,they are way different?
“Like seriously cla-ss, my look now isn’t worth what you should use as a debate topic,,,am like this now ok?? I will say you should get used to it”Sabrina was forced to speak out, the murmurs was just too much for her
The teacher made to speak,,but that was when the door went opened……
And their came an appearance, one that was powerful enough to shut everyone up immediately
