Teaser from Chapter 1

They didn't know how long they had been exploring her room sized closet before they found a suitable dress, shoes, and a few other accesories; but it had to have been at least a couple hours since it was black outside when they came back to her bedroom. Evalyn gasped suddenly, and her hand flew to her mouth.

"What is it?" Danica asked worriedly. Her friend took a few deep, calming breaths.

"I just thought I saw something for a moment, but I think it was just a flicker of the fire light," she sighed.

"I hope that's all it was," the blonde girl murmered turning to the fire place, and then shook her head, "No. It couldn't have been anything. No one would be able to get to my room without the guards noticing, or climbing up five stories of wall."

Her friend nodded shakily, "It-it was just my imagination, I'm sure. You know how paranoid I can be." Though both girls silently admitted to themselves that something didn't feel right.

"Good night," Danica called as Evalyn headed to the door. Her friend smiled warmly at her, and moved to go out into the hall. Instead, she froze in the doorway.

"D-D-Danica..." she whimpered, her face going sheet white. The princess hurried to her side, and gasped.

In the center of the hall lay the three guards charged with guarding her bedroom door. She quickly knelt by the nearest one, while Evalyn remained paralyzed in the doorway. She touched his neck to feel for a pulse.

"A-are they..." her friend swallowed hard, "dead?"

Danica sighed and shook her head, "No. Just drugged I'm hoping."

"Wh-what should we do? Who would do this?" Evalyn asked, shaking.

The princess of Avia stood up straight, determintation flashing in her eyes, "We need to go get help. It isn't safe here."

Her friend nodded, and they turned to run down the hall. Suddenly, Danica found a strong hand covering her mouth, and another around her waist. She tried to scream, but her voice died in her throat. A frightened squeak to her side told her that Evalyn was in a similar situation, so she fought as hard as she could against the infinitely strong arms that held her effortlessly in place.

"Not so fast, princess," a cool and smooth male voice murmered in her ear.
