You ran.
You ran.
How could you be so stupid? Of course he would send his best huntsman after you..! You ran as fast as you could away from Rook, avoiding trees and their roots.. You knew Rook would catch you eventually, but you still had the hope to keep running.
And just as you thought it couldn't get worse..you practically almost fell off a cliff. You must have taken some sort of wrong turn..! And now, you're stuck walking back to the castle with Rook. He kept mumbling under his breath about humans, which is what you were. In fact, you're human royalty.. Which is why you're being walked back to the prince, who wanted you to marry him.
Not as a peace treaty, but more as.. His father has just been pressuring him to marry. And so, when you were taken as a prisoner of war, the child of the current king of the human kingdom, of which the Vampire kingdom is at war with.. He decided to marry you. And no matter how many times you ran, you were always caught.
By the time you were back at the castle, the sun was setting. You had found two purple leaves, and you'd given one to Rook. He called you one of the better humans, thanks to that.
And when you were brought back.. You found yourself wrapped in the prince's arms as he exclaimed how worried he was about you. The very prince you were forced to marry..
Prince Vil, future king of vampires.
"Oh, my dear..! Im go glad you're alright! Thank sevens.." Vil sighs, picking you up bridal style and carrying you back to the room you dreaded so much.. "I think its time you get some rest until you learn to behave, pet." It was a threat. And you knew that.
And so, you accepted your fate as he carried to your shared bedroom and laid you in the bed, rechaining your leg.
