Lost cause 26

I have no idea how to use my new-found freedom if you call it that. My friend is still trapped inside while I can roam around at least inside the palace. How refreshing but at the same time it has no point. I will remain to be a prisoner no matter what. My freedom will only come with a death. The cost of my freedom is the death of Igor and anyone who comes between that even if it is Lucien. He walked away tonight when he could have simply killed me. No one would even bat an eye. I have killed his precious bird maybe the only thing he cares about. Not even his father would stop him he was his son after all. I was nothing but a passing fantasy for Igor.

The value of my life is lesser than his son's happiness I'm convinced. Until and unless I end both the father and son I doubt the true freedom of humans would come. I wander around steering clear off the king's bedroom. I don't even want to be dragged there which could happen if I let it. My plan to seduce Lucien hadn't been working out well since I have done everything in my power to make him hate me. Even if he looks in my way I will be completely surprised.

I realized that the freedom was only an e

Illusion I was being watched closely by guards now that they have let me lose. I knew Igor was still controlling my movements, no matter how much far I was from him. It was unnerving and unsettling. I have been here long enough and still hadn't managed to hurt him. I doubt if I ever could. He is always surrounded by guards. He is much more paranoid than I thought. There was only one way to get him alone that was to sleep with him. He could still place guards outside, and I was bound to be checked, so there was no way in hell I could get my bow and arrow inside.

If I somehow managed to get in some weapon, but it was still hard to kill him. He is too fast and strong. I was only a slip of a girl. The combat techniques I learned from Lucien is useless since Igor is always in his safe bubble. If only of could get him out and lose his guards, but it was next to impossible. I have failed my mother and father. I couldn't avenge him like I thought before. It was complicated, and I also have to get my Aunt out of this place. I have no friends or allies except Mina. She was a poor girl I wanted to avoid dragging her into this mess. I have lost even before the war was waged. My foe was dangerous, rich and a king. I was a lonely girl with nothing but a bow and arrow. I will lose badly.

Not only that, but I marched to my bedroom realizing that it doesn't matter if I'm inside or outside I will always feel trapped. There was nothing much I could do now. For the time being this is my safe haven. Igor won't dare to take me from here. Even though I hate to be treated to be like an object, but it works for me. I was safe and sound with Lucien. I know he hates me for what I did, but he won't be killing me today or else I wouldn't be lying so peacefully in his bed.

The lull of the wind made me feel so relaxed that I closed my eyes. I saw my mom singing to me. My dad cuddling me. Suddenly, I saw the image which hardly let me sleep these days. My mom dying at the hands of Igor. She could have run or hide, but she chose to fight for me. I who hid in the back watching my mom die. I heard her calling out for me, I wanted to respond, but I couldn't breathe. Likewise, I was weighed down by something or someone. Furthermore, I felt something sharp at my neck. Not only that, but I thought of my chances of survival, but I couldn't find any.

I smelled alcohol in his breath it was none other than Lucien. The same guy my aunt believed would protect me. I will die at his hands after all. My whole plan for getting revenge has gone awry. My death will give me peace I hope because life never shall.

I waited for Lucien to kill me. He was heavily drunk but he didn't move. He stayed where he was silent and grave. I knew my brief journey of avenging had come to an end. At least I get to see my parents in afterlife if there was something like that.

If Lucien wasn't drunk, I would have a chance at convincing him to not kill me.

Buy the Lucien before me looks different he had the same cruel look in his eyes that his father posses. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I have lost by placing my trust in the wrong person. I will be killed at least I wasn't raped by Igor. It was my only fear these days.

I knew my only chance was to sway Lucien drunk or not. I had no choice. I moved slightly fearing for the knife to cut into me. But Lucien relaxed his hold on it and moved it back an inch. I leaned more to capture his lips in the searing kiss I had given someone. He looked shocked, but he kissed me back the same way. The attraction that was burning us was now consuming us. We kissed, and our tongues dueled in a matching tempo.

The passion was tearing through us and wanted to devour us. I let it happen because it was like fire coursing through us. I thought the twisted attraction I felt was from my side but how wrong I was.

I doubt we could ever go back from where we are now. I was a lost cause now. Only my mind were mine now my body was his.
