The princess with the unusual heart beat

Princess Natalia and Anastasia lost on what to do as they think of the best possible way out. Meanwhile, at the door, two maid servants were just having a normal conversation and gossiping about the witch 'Melissa' who always seem to be cold and unfriendly towards everyone in the castle. Some guards walked past them, as they quickly left the door. Anastasia and princess Natalia heaved a sigh of relief. We have to find a way out of the castle as soon as possible. Said Anastasia. We got no time to spare. Natalie added. It's going to be difficult to escape, Anastasia. Do I sense fear in your voice. Anastasia asked. I know Mullock very well, Anastasia. He use to be a mortal enemy of my father in the past because there was once a time, my father the king refused to hand me over in marriage to him. His intensions weren't pure, for my father could see right through him. He wanted to use the marriage as a means to gain my Father trust and convince him to take down the other four kingdoms so he could have full control over the entire domination. Such a trickster. Anastasia cried out. Look Anastasia, if we try to escape, Mullock isn't going to let us have our way without a fight.... Anastasia answered. You can't be pessimistic in this situation. How do we know for sure we can leave this castle unharmed without even trying?.....

Anastasia smiled as she said, "Will you come with me?" I had the chance to save you when you were captured by those bandits, but I didn't. I was very much awake when they took you away but I didn't alert the others or call for help.... Natalia stared at her surprised. Why?..... I was jealous of your closeness and fondness with Prince Lex. Natalia smiled. You find Prince Lex attractive? Anastasia confesses. Yes, I do. I can't deny the fact, I have a strong crush on him. Princess Natalia smiled. You have to be rest assured; I don't feel that way whatsoever towards him... but I saw you both taking a walk at the sea and even spending more time together... Natalia cuts in. I can't deny the fact prince Lex and I both have a lot in common, but trust me, we're only good friends. At the sea-side, I suggested to him we take a walk because I wanted him to tell me more about his friend Lucas. Anastasia surprised. You have a crush on Lucas? Yes, I do. You can't be serious! She screamed aloud. Natalia replied with a smile. Since the day he came to my rescue from those bandits, I couldn't just stop thinking about him... but, what about the kiss? Anastasia voiced out curiously. Natalia confused. What kiss? At the sea, I saw Lex trying to kiss you... Natalia begins to laugh. Hahahaha. Anastasia feeling irritated already. What's so funny? Natalia answered. I guess you were really spying on us. I had some particles in my eyes, so, Lex assisted to help me take them off.

Anastasia mutters. I guess all this was just a misunderstanding. So sorry, Natalia. I got you in trouble and almost ruined our mission because of my jealousy. Please, will you find it in a place in your heart to forgive me? Of course, she replied with a smile. You came here because you felt guilty right? Anastasia nodded. Right. Then, let's find a way to escape from Mullock and his men. Said Natalia as they both quietly sneaked out of the room.

Meanwhile, Alisa takes the lead as he leads them all the way to the cave. Just as they arrived at the cave, some guards suddenly attacked them. Lucas and Prince Lex take out their sword as they started to engage in a fierce battle with the guards. Diana was about to enter the cave, as one of the guards tries to strike her with a spear but Lex immediately came to her rescue as he slew the guard with his sword, making him drop to the ground dead... Diana stared at him smiling. Thanks 'Your Highness'. You saved me. You have to be careful next time. I won't always be there to save you know..... Said he. I will put that in mind. She answered with a smile.

Anastasia and Natalia quickly walked out of the room, heading through the Hallway and making sure all path was clear as they made their exit out of the castle. On reaching the castle entrance and out of the door, they were suddenly surrounded by Mullock men. Mullock and Melissa then approach them.

Melissa stared intensely at Anastasia. So, you were the strange presence I sensed earlier. It really wasn't my imagination. Who are you and what do you want in my castle? Her eyes suddenly turn brown red as she stared scarily at Anastasia. Have you come to set free my prisoner?! Anastasia answered bravely. You do not scare me witch! I'm aware of all of your misdeeds and evil intensions against the people of Tama and their Emperor. You should give up while you still can. Mullock angry. Aren't you brave to come here and defy 'the Mighty ruler' of Sodom?! Anastasia retorted. I don't care who or what she is! If you have any conscience left in you, you should stop hurting innocent people. Prince Lex is really hurt and trying is best to save his people because of you. Melissa interrupts... May I ask, who's Lex to you? What's your relationship with him?

Anastasia replied. I'm not in a position to give you any reply about our relationship. Melissa upset. You've just succeeded in wasting my precious time, kid. Guards, take her away... Anastasia, screamed aloud. Stay away from me all of you?! Just then, the castle begins to shake vigorously none stop. Melissa exclaimed. What's happening?! Mullock answered. I'm not sure 'My Queen' but it looks like this maiden possesses some kind of mysterious power... Melissa answered. It's a more reason why we should get rid of her this minute! .... Prince Lex and the others shows up, as suddenly, the Castle becomes calm again. Not on my watch mother!..... Lex answered as he stared at her irritatingly. Let them go right now while I'm asking nicely.

Melissa remains her calm. Or else what? What will you do, Lex? Will you hand me over to your father to get killed or imprisoned? She smiled. I guess you're still as naïve as when you were a suckling. You should be grateful I brought you into this world to experience such a life of glory and affluence such as what you've been given and inherited as the crown Prince. You will be nothing without me. Don't make me regret ever giving birth to you.

Anastasia upset. Whoever talks to his child in such manner? Where is even your sense of pride as a mother? Melissa angry. You have no right to judge my character, kid. I will advice you stay out of my business if you don't want to get hurt.... She smirks. Now, you all are here, why don't I introduce you to my mysterious friend, Lopus. Diana panics. Who's Lopus? Melissa answered. Why don't you be patient. You will find out soon enough.

Just as Melissa exclaimed, calling out the name of a beast in a strange word. A dinosaur suddenly appeared breaking down the roof and finding it's way inside the castle. The dinosaur is two times the size of a mother's dragon. The dinosaur flames up angrily as he begins to scatter through the entire castle.... Mullock exclaimed. What are you doing Melissa?! Trying to get us killed? Melissa smiled evilly. I'm only trying to show my uninvited guests what I'm capable of doing if I get easily provoked....

Anastasia and the others began to run for their lives as the flying creature begins to destroy the castle shattering it into pieces bit by bit. Lucas exclaimed. We need to do something Lex! We're going to get straggled by this crazy beast if we don't find our way out of this castle. We need your help, Alisa! Anastasia exclaimed. Do what you always do.... Diana shouted. Can you really help us, Alisa? I think I can but I will have to get close to the beast to touch it.

Anastasia answered. How about I do this then?! She suddenly screamed aloud. You stupid dinosaur, why don't you come pick on someone your own size?! If you're looking for a prey to devour, why don't you come try me out?! I'm very tasty, you know! She continues to scream and insult the mysterious beast. Melissa thinking. I will have to be very wary of that lady. Who is she really and what ties does she have with Lex that he's willing to risk is life to come save her?

The castle has begun to crumble to the ground due to the impact made by the dinosaur. Lex and the others exit the castle just as it crumbled to shambles as they started to run for their lives while the beast continues to chase them breathing out fire from its nostrils.

Anastasia exhausted as she tries to sit on a rock to rest her tired legs but suddenly, the dinosaur lifted her up as she started to scream for help. The dinosaur continues to straggle her as she screamed in fright. Save me Lex! Lex sighted her mum smiling evilly as he charges towards her drawing out his sword as he aims it at her neck with an intension to kill her.... Let her go right now! If your beast touches just a strip of her hair, I won't fail to do the same to you. What are you doing Lex?! Melissa angry. Pointing a sword at your mum?! Lex angry. I'm not joking, Witch! Now, withdraw you beast! Don't make me use this sword.... He threatened. Melissa made some enchanting words as suddenly; the beast gently puts Anastasia down and then flies away. Anastasia signs in relief. I thought I was going to die some few moments ago. Melissa smiles as Lex withdraws his sword. My friends and I will be taking our leave. Don't even try to do anything stupid because I will not hesitate to get rid of you... He warns as he walks away...… Mullock shows up. What will you have me do Melissa, should I just go after them?
