Chapter 7

  • JAMAL
  • Don't ask me!
  • Don't ask me why I didn't let her fall...
  • Don't ask me why I'm staring into her gorgeous hazel eyes, wishing I could drown myself in it.
  • Don't ask me why I'm jealous of the way the wind caresses her hair, sending it flying in different direction, wishing I was the wind.
  • Don't ask me how I know I'm jealous, or how I can experience jealousy when I'm not suppose to feel any sort of emotion.
  • Don't ask me! Just don't ask me! Because I don't know... And I'm as confused myself!
  • She steadied herself and gently pushed my hands from her waist, I let her. She bowed her head in courtesy.
  • "Your highness"
  • I cleared my throat. "You were supposed to be killed" I said, she moved back.
  • "I've seen you again, I'm certainly going to be killed this time"
  • "That depends, what if I don't tell?" What the hell am I saying?
  • "The law says I should be killed, it will speak bad of you if you try to keep this a secret"
  • "Who made the law?"
  • She looked at me, biting her lips.
  • I gulped, I suddenly wanted to kiss her. This is so overwhelming, why do I want to do things I've never thought of? Why is there this constant tugging in my chest.
  • Why is my heart beating so fast that I think it might burst?
  • "Who are you? And what are you doing to me?" I whispered.
  • Her eyes widened and she moved back, I held her hands.
  • "What's your name?"
  • "Sarafina, your highness"
  • I gulped, this is weird or I think strange is the word. Everything about this girl is really weird.
  • First I'm experiencing things I have no idea what it means.
  • But strangely enough, I like it... I like whatever she is doing to me.
  • If this what it is like to be humane...
  • Then I don't want it to end.
  • "Your highness, this is wrong please let go off me" she said.
  • I released her and she moved back, I blinked.
  • "If you'll excuse me, I have to complete my work before nightfall"
  • "Go on, I won't disturb you"
  • "You can't stay your highness, you'll get dirty"
  • I nodded. "I'll just leave"

  • SARAFINA
  • Fate...
  • As he stepped out of the room, I couldn't help but think of Nana and Terai's words.
  • Maybe they were right..
  • Was it fate that made me see him the first time?
  • Was it the work of fate that I wasn't killed?
  • Was it the work of fate that I was assigned to work here.
  • Is it the work of fate that I'm seeing him again?
  • If it is fate, then there has to be a reason.
  • The question is what is the reason?

  • JAMAL
  • Cursed!
  • Cursed!
  • I kept hearing the voices as I walked out, I shook my head yet it didn't stop and immediately I stepped out of the room, It was like something hit me in full force!
  • And then snap! I wasn't in control of my body.
  • "Your highness" a maid greeted. My hands grabbed her by the neck.
  • I gripped it tightly, choking her.
  • Her hands held my hand, pulling, kicking frantically.
  • I heard voices.
  • ✴Don't move near him!
  • ✴somebody get the queen!
  • ✴The queen is here!
  • ✴Jamal!
  • My hands didn't stop choking, squeezing.
  • Until she came..
  • "Prince Jamal" came her soft soothing voice.
  • I released the maid and she fell limp to the ground.
  • I turned and she was standing there, her hair swaying with the wind.
  • "Sarafina"
  • My knees bucked beneath me, I slipped to the ground. Someone held me, rocking me.
  • My eyes were fixed on her.
  • She didn't move, she just stood there staring at me.
  • My mind was calling to her, but I couldn't speak. I saw her leaving before I eventually allowed the darkness envelope me.
