Parker dragged you farther into the cell, leaving little scars and cuts all along your arms. “You’ve always gotten everything you wanted!” He yelled. “And now you won’t.”

Sure, your Prince, Tedros, had finally found you and invited you to the ball at the palace the following night, where he’d make a vow of everlasting love to you in front of the whole kingdom.

But when your former best friend Parker had found out, he’d decided he would transform into a doppelgänger of yourself and go to the ball as you.

And to do that, he’d lock you away so no one would ever find you.

“He’s noticed I’ve disappeared!” You cried.

“Please,” Parker snorted. “I’ve ensured the prince has been so busy with his athletics he hasn’t even thought of you.”
