Nothing could no longer be done without connor’s interfarance

He monitor’s everything and everyone,

The palace felt like hell, Connor goes on like rapid dog, he has lost his senses

It was as if the Palace peace left with Ava

Come to think of it, connor hated Ava right?

So why is he so worried about her?.

Connor’s POV

I’ve searched the whole city, the palace, everywhere I could think of, it’s as of Ava doesn’t Want to be found.

I have this dreams when I sleep at night

I could see Ava and hear her screams of pain

It must be the mate mark

It connect’s my pains to hers, it makes me feel her pain

If only..

“Your highness?” Nicholas called

“Yes?, Anything wrong?” I asked frowningConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“We found her trail” He said with excitement in his voice

“Her? Whose trail?” I asked anticipating

” her higness’s trail?” Nicholas said

“How did you do this? Where? When?” I asked getting up

“We followed the prince yesterday” he said sourly

“The prince? ”

“Yes your highness prince Alex has Her majesty in his custody”

I could hear my blood rushing in my ears

My hands shook, I could no longer hear what Nicholas was saying

“I want the warriors ready right now, stay here and make sure Alex doesn’t leave the palace till we arrive” I said in a dark tone

Nicholas flinched

“Yes your highness”

Ava’s POV

Cold water jolted me awake, my back and legs hurt after being beaten so hard

I couldn’t stand upright anymore I was supported by a rope tied to my wrist to the ceiling

My throat feels as if it’s on fire

I glanced around and saw mrs female scrowling hard at me

I glanced around again and saw max but couldn’t find jap

“Good morning angel”max said to my face smiling with his dirty teeth opened

“How did you find your night?”

“Cold? In pain?” He asked fingering my hair

“Don’t touch me” I told him gritting my teeth

“Come on angel, do away with this attitude of yours or else it will surely put you in trouble ” he said grinning

“Jap!” He called changing his tone of voice

Jap appeared looking scared than ever

I felt pity for the poor soul despite my own situation, how can some one endure so much trauma at such a young age

I shivered slightly at the thought

“Bring the lady’s food will you?” He said in a hard tone that made the young boy run out of the room in fright

And in a voice that hardened my eyes into slits

How dare he treat the boy that way, I felt a bond with the boy which I can’t explain

I wish I had the power to punish this monster for making this young boy so miserable.

Suddenly we heard gun shots outside

“What the heck!” Max cursed

Just then Jap came in with the food tray in his shaky hands

“You take care of her, make sure she eats OK?” Max said to Jap

Jap bobbed his head like a lost lizard

“And to you honey I’ll be back, don’t take offence i won’t be here to watch you eat but I have things I have to take care of OK?” Max said smiling broadly at me

Eww that ugly smelly teeth

“Well I hope you never return!” I spat the words at him

“Don’t count on it sweetie, I know you want me here” he said smiling as he opened the door and went out

He banged the door so hard that Jap jumped back.

I stared long and hard at Jap that I didn’t hear him the first time he spoke

“E, ex, excuse, excuse me?” He voice jolted me out of my thoughts

“Yes?” I asked

“Do you, you want, want some foo, food?” He asked pleadingly

“No I don’t” I said softly

“Bu, but ma’am if you don’t eat something you’ll tire out yourself” he said looking at his toes

He talks like the Highlanders

Oh my gosh! My Nill words are so much like his

“OK I’ll take some water” I told him

He poured out some water from a plastic container into a dirty tumbler, his hands were shaking so much so that he spilled some unto the floor,

I felt so much pity for him

He walked towards me with the water

“I’ll ‘drink but on one condition” I said suddenly

He looked at me wearily, I could see water pooling at the corner of his eyes

“It’s not hard, I just want you to tell me your name that’s all” I rushed to say

“Jap” he said the word so silently like it’s a taboo to speak of it

“I mean to say your real name?” I said looking at him

“I, I don’t remember” he said looking down at the cup

I knew he was lying right there and then

“Very well then I won’t drink a single drop or eat a morsel now you can think of what Max will do to you when he comes back” I said feeling bad I was blackmailing him but I had to get the truth out of him

“I, I’m I’m not supposed to tell” he said almost crying

He must be thinking of his punishment

“It’s okay you can….” I wasn’t done talking when the door flew open

I was so scared for Jap

” No Max, Jap just gave me, I don’t wan’t ………. Connor?'”

“Connor!” I screamed, i was in shock, happy, surprised, relieve

I didn’t know what to say

I wanted to shout, laugh instead

“You’re here?” I couldn’t believe the amount of bitterness in my voice

“What? You don’t want me here?” He asked

He didn’t let me talk before saying

“Let’s free you from there, shall we?”

He didn’t wait

He brought out a knife from his boot and cut my hands loose he was cutting my legs when Max rushed in

“Stop right there or I’ll shoot you” Max shouted.
