Danica
I couldn’t st©p myself from holding him ti-ght, squee-zing him ti-ght.
I felt so scared and he was the only person I’d been able to see since I got locked here in this h’ll.
“Danica” he called calmly, pu-lling me close as well.
Sobs racked my throat as I wept profusely on his shoulders.
“Hey; it’s okay. It’s okay. It’s fine”.he consoled and bit by bit, meticulously pu-ll-ed me away from his shoulders.
“You’re here” I whimpered as I stared down at the floor, sniffling almost uncontrollably.
“I was…..I was so scared”.
He was silent for a few seconds, and I could re-ad the pity in his eyes.
“My family… they should be looking for me”
“Your safety’s more important for now, Danica. You nee-d to stay here until everything’s over” he replied.
“Everything’s over? But for how long? How long should I continue hiding here – alone?” My fears increa-sed.
He sighed and stared downwards.
“I brou-ght you some food. Felt you might be hungry. Come on; you should take a seat and eat” he walked away from me, going to set the food on a dusty table in the room.
I sniffed and followed him. G©sh! My entire system was so weak alre-ady. I felt debilitated.
We sat, facing each other and he opened the foods he brou-ght.
“Thank you” I mumbled and began eating.
***************
Bitna
I sat on the be-d with mum, weeping my eyes out, but she couldn’t even console me. She tried all she could, but none of it could help my tears.
I was going to lose her – lose everything I have. And it’s all going to be because of Danica – someone I never asked to see.
Why did I have to encounter her in the first place? Why did it have to happen to me?
More tears spilled my eyes and dropped on mum’s palms which were holding mine.
“Bitna….”She was about saying when the door suddenly went open, revea-ling dad.
I
re-ad more stories or post your stories @:- Pizarena.com
sniffed and looked at him.
“Honey, Kim is here with the police. She’s here to take Bitna” dad said and I flin-ched.
Oh my God!
“Whaat??” Mum sprang on her feet.
“The hell, she can’t do that. What does she even think she’s doing??”
“I’m sorry….but she got a statement from the judge. Bitna has to go with her now, while I go over and collect Danica. The exchange has to happen”. He answered and more tears streaked my cheeks.
I
turned ruefully and looked at mum, shaking my head.
“Mum plea-se …dont let her take me away. plea-se” I sniveled, and for the first time, I could see the helplessness in mum’s eyes.
She wasn’t going to help me.
“Bitna, come on…” Dad c@m£ closer and held my arm.
“Let me go! Let me go! I don’t want to leave… plea-se” I cried more.
“St©p doing this, Bitna. And try to accept everything, okay? It’s gonna be fine” he said pathetically, but his words only angered me the more.
How
could it ever be fine when I was losing everything I had? The luxurious life I had? How?
“I don’t want to leave..” I whimpered to myself and he sighed.
“The police might have to come in soon, Bitna. Is that what you want? Do you want them to drag you away?”
“Oh! Williams, plea-se. You nee-d to st©p installing more fear in her”. Mum ch!pped in, her voice cracking.
“Well, that’s exactly what would happen Maya, if she doesn’t come with me now. She nee-ds to leave. I un-derstand it’s not easy, but it has to happen. Her parents are to be blamed for all these” he said hoarsely and I felt a skip in my heart.
What?
I lifted my teary eyes to look at him.
“My parents?” He’s alre-ady trying to put the blame on me? Comparing me with them speaking with so many hate?
Of course, I should’ve known. This man never liked me.
I stood up angrily from the be-d and went out of the room.
“Bitna! Bitna” mum c@m£ calling after me and caught up with me on the stairs.
I turned and hvgged her, burying my tearful face on her che-st.
“I don’t want to go, mum. Is it so difficult to ask?” I whimpered.
“Bitna, I’m so sorry. I wish I could help” she said ruefully and that was when I knew nothing else could be done.
Oh God! I was doomed.
Dad c@m£ out as well.
“Bitna, come on. You nee-d to leave right away” he held my hand and took me away from mum.
Mum sat on the staircase, burying her face in her palms and unable to look at me again.
“Mum…” I whimpered, but she didn’t try to look at me.
“Mum…” I kept calling as dad took me away.

Duri
“So, Eric is currently in coma?” Mum asked as I sat with her at the dining.
“Yes.
And my next target is Nathan. Then, Jimmy” I answered and she nodded in satisfaction.
Well, it had all been her idea.
“I still wonder why it’s so difficult finding the 12th disciple, tho” she said.
“I wonder if she’s truly dead, or still alive. It shouldn’t be this difficult”.
“Don’t worry about it, mum. Either ways, I’m still going to make sure we win in the end”.
My phone awakened with a ring and taking a look at the caller, I discovered it was one of the Royal guards – one of the Queen’s guards.
I picked up immediately.
“My prince” he called. “I’ve got some great news for you.
“It seems the Queen has found the 12th disciple. Prince Nathan knew about it and the Queen suspects he’s somehow, protecting her. So, she asked me to keep an eye on him and follow him secretly. And this morning, I followed him to an old house where I believe he went to see someone because he had some bags with him.
“My prince, I strongly believe that’s the 12th disciple”. He enthused and my eyes beamed.
What??? She’s been found???
“Are you… sure about this?”I asked, curiously.
Mum was also staring into my face.
“I’m sure, my prince. Normally, I should be giving this information to the Queen. But you know, I work for you – not her” he answered with a grin and excitement clouded me.
“What’s going on, Duri?” Mum asked.

Danica
After eating to my fill, the prince directed me to the tiny be-d in the room to get some rest.
How did he get this room in the first place? Everything looked so small and creaky.
I la-id on the be-d and the prince sat next to me, his hand on my hair.
“I’ll nee-d to leave soon, Danica” he said calmly. “I wouldn’t want to arou-se any form of suspicions.
I didn’t say a word.
“I’m really sorry you have to go throu-gh this” he continued.
“I’m sorry for the pains you’re facing and I sincerely wish there was something else to do”.
A short silence stepped in again. Then, I asked:
“My bl©©d is nee-ded to save your father, right?”
“Yes. And not just that, but currently, he’s put it as a task amongst the princes. The first prince to get him the 12th disciple, becomes the crowned prince”. He replied and m heart skipped a bit.
“So, why are you helping me?” I whispered.
“You’re throwing two things away – your father’s health, and your chances of becoming the crowned prince. Why would you do it for me?”
He was silent for a long while, and it made me more curious.
I lifted my head to look at him and our eyes locked.
Then, in a tender tone, he answered:
“I don’t know, Danica. I guess you make me confused”.
His voice was so soft, I almost couldn’t hear him. My eyes searched his for more answers because I was confused as well.
“My prince….” I muttered and to my greatest surprise, he locked hisl-ips on mine.

Danica
My heart skipped when I felt hisl-ips on mine.
Oh my God! Whaat??
I couldn’t breathe as his ton-gue went into mine, ma-king me feel more confused.
I g@sped and f0rç£d myself to pu-ll away from the kss, unable to control it any further.
“My prince….!” I called breathlessly, my heart racing heavily.
I tried sitting up so I could move away, but he pu-ll-ed me close instead and resumed the kss.
I traced my hand to his che-st and thought of pushing him away, but somehow, I couldn’t.
He trailed his hands to my back and I g@sped even in the kss when I felt him there.
He unlocked from the k!ssbut didn’t let go of me and instantly, he c@m£ ont©p of me.
Oh my God! What’s happening? This shouldn’t be happening. I’m not… I’m not re-ady for this – not after what Scott did to me. What if Nathan does it to me as well?
The prince’s breath was erratic on my face as he la-id so close to me, eating into the hollows of my n£¢k.
“No… st©p” I spoke in a wavering tone.
I wasn’t sure he heard me because it didn’t change anything as he remained still on me, his hands lifting my legs ap@rt.
“My prince… wait…. Just st©p”. I said again and I think that was the one he suddenly heard because he st©pped and looked into my face.
“What is it?’ he asked, his voice almost a whisper.
I gulped ha-rd and tried not to look into his face.
“I…I can’t. I don’t think I want to do this” I said in de-ep breaths.
“Why? What’s wrong?” I could hear the disappointement in his voice.
“I don’t…I don’t want to. You might do it to me as well” .
“Do what?”
He was still laying on t©p of me.
A tear c@m£ rolling down my cheek and I sniffed and tried getting him off my b©dy, but couldn’t.
“Do what, Danica? What’re you talking about?” He said goadingly and I was f0rç£d to spill it out.
“The same thing…he did to me” my tone wavered again. ‘
“I don’t want to get used and dumped again. plea-se…”
I could feel his surprise.
He huffed and leaned his forehead on mine, his hand still holding my legs.
He was silent and didn’t make a move for a while and I bec@m£ relieved, bit by bit.
But suddenly, in a low tone, he whispered:
“You won’t”.
And with that, I felt his hand slide into my Sk-irt.
“Hah!” I g@sped when it reached my pnt.
He reached for the ti-p and began pu-lling it down.
Oh my God!
“My prince…” I called helplessly.
Is he really doing this?
Well, of course. How wouldn’t he, when he was trying to gather enough evidence for the stupid bet?
More reasons I felt so scared about what the prince was doing.
I shivered when I felt something cold. Oh my God! This was really happening.
*****************
I felt dazed. I opened my bleary eyes and felt myself still lying on the be-d, alone and weak.
My head felt a little h0t as well.
I spre-ad my hand to the side and confirmed I was really the only one in be-d. I was alone. The prince…. Where was he?
I looked and found a note on the be-d; a written note. And I picked it up to have a look. As expected, it was written by the prince:
“Sorry, I had to leave. Didn’t wanna wake you up. My mum was calling for me and I had to go to her to avoid suspicions. I hope you’ll be fine? I promise to be back before evening.
“Thanks”.
Unexplainably, I felt my cheeks turn all red as I re-ad it. Good Lord!
I dropped the note on the be-d and cu-mpped my chin in my hands as the previous memories c@m£ repla-ying into my head.
We did it- and I still couldn’t believe it.
After the promise I made to myself, I still couldn’t believe I’d be breaking it any time soon.
But the prince…
Oh, God! How did it even happen?
I stayed on the be-d for a long time, and after a while, decided to clean up. The prince had gotten some clothes for me.
I stood up and went to where the clothes were kept, took out the one I wanted and wore it on. And immediately, I heard a knock on the door.
I froze. Who could it be?
I arched my brows and looked at the door. The prince said he wasn’t going to be back, not untill evening. So, who could be at the door?
And the area was kind of deserted, I wasn’t sure they could be any neighbors around.
The knock c@m£ again, but I still couldn’t move and shockingly, the door went open. I startled.
An image showed up, right in front of the door. And my eyes nearly popped out of its sockets when I saw it was the prince!
Prince Duri!
