Marienne's povI woke up early in the morning, I blink as the light entered my eyes through the curtains. As I layed in my bed I couldn't help it as my mind drifted to my mates. They left for battle few days ago and they haven't been any news, from what I have heard the rouges defenses are very strong. It worries me, my mom still happens to be in coma for and haven't been able to wake up since then.Dragging myself out of bed, I shuffled towards the bathroom, my steps heavy with the weight of worry. The war had been raging on for days now, and with each passing day, my anxiety grew. I needed to take my mind off things, if only for a few moments. A hot bath seemed like the perfect solution.The warm water engulfed me as I sank into the tub, its heat seeping into my bones. Closing my eyes, I let the soothing embrace of the water wash away my troubles, if only temporarily. The calming scent of lavender filled the air, and I allowed myself to relax, momentarily forgetting the impending b
Marienne's PovThe throbbing pain in my head was the first thing that welcomed me as I regained consciousness. As my eyes adjusted to the room I was placed in I tried to remember where I was until it clicked.Bianca, she got to before I could expose her, I took a look round the room and I realized that. This wasn't just any room but a dungeon. I was hit by a pungent smell immediately as it filled my nostrils.I couldn't help but panic even more when I realized that my hands were bound to a stone wall, and my feet were chained by a heavy silver chain that burnt through my skin. At this I let out a hiss to express my discomfort. The silver seems to dig into my skin, sending sharp pains through my body.I turned around as I looked around the cell, trying to sense any sign of anyone who was around to no avail. I tried using my nose to see if I could place any scent but to my dismay the pungent smell of urine and sweat seems to be entering my nose.As I struggled against the chains that
Marienne's PovFrom what I could see it's been days since I have been trapped here. The guards were inhumane, mostly the rouges, they forced me to eat rotten food and hit me when they came close enough. I haven't seen Delaney since the day She paid me a visit here. It's like she had abandoned me here.I yearn for the day when I will be free, I knew my mates will go miles to get me out of here and I knew they were into it already, my guess is the rouges probably wanted me here to be able to control me.In my cell, I couldn't tell day from night. All I did was clung to memories, every time I closed my eyes I remembered my mother. Her warm smile that seemed to lit the room, and the way we spent the night laughing together and sharing stories. Before life at the castle. Their only issue back in my old life was to keep food on the table as I usually worked day and night for that purpose.I longed to be back there, wrapped in her arms and far away from this wretched place. My worries for
Third Pov It didn't take long for the news of Marienne's disappearance to reach the ears of the princes.The news came shortly after Juliet went to prepare her for bed, eleven hours after she had left the kitchen to meet the king.Juilet waited for three more hours for her return and she realized that something was wrong, she knew that always made it to her room before the clocks struck eight. Panic gripped the heart of Nico as the news of her disappearance reached his ears, he couldn't believe it, the poor girl was under his care and he would rather die than let any harm come to her.The news of Marienne's disappearance spread like wildfire. A search party was hastily assembled, determined to traverse every inch of the castle and pack grounds in search for her.With determination etched upon their faces, the search party roamed through every corridor and every hidden passage of the castle and pack grounds. But still she was nowhere to be found. Desperation sank in as hope slowly
Marienne's PovIt's been the fourth day of my stay here and it has indeed been my worst experience, I was maltreated and treated like a slave, I haven't seen Delaney since the time of that meeting which I am relieved about.Today I slowly opened my eyes, feeling the cold water drenching my body, just like I do every morning. I am awoken by cold water being poured on me by the rouges.The water trickled down my skin, chilling me to the bone as I huddled in the small, damp cell they kept me in. It was a constant reminder of my helplessness, my vulnerability. But somehow, amidst the darkness that surrounded me.When the water ceased, the door creaked open, and rough hands pulled me out of the cell. Disoriented and weak, I stumbled forward into a world of shadows and malevolence. The stench of garbage filled the air as they tossed a piece of rotting meat in my direction, just like they do every morning. It was my sustenance, my only source of energy to face the dreaded tasks that awaited
Marienne's PovThe way she spoke and the way she carried herself led me to believe she was someone of great influence, I hate to admit it but she was right. I am a broken toy, unlike Delaney that withstand her totured I could not. And it hurt being this misrable.Delaney had me wondering when she made the statement that it would be easier for all of us, I wondered what she meant.What craft up plan does she have that would enable her make that statement, whatever ever it was I know it doesn't sound right to my ears. I knew I needed to be strong, it wouldn't take long for Belle to find the antidote as she confirmed a day before that she had started helping out the witch in her cottage and the witch had fallen in love with her crafts all that is left was for her to help me out with the antidote.Ever since my coming here I haven't met Steve, I knew he hated and dislike me. And would hate me more due to what my mates had done to him since the last time we met. I had to beg Belle to not l
Marienne's PovI woke up to the sound of someone calling my name. My eyes fluttered open to the sound of my name echoing in the walls.I looked around, I realized with a jolt that I was still in the cell. Fear gripped my heart as I searched for the source of the voice, and my eyes landed on someone who looked and smelled familiar, who was standing outside the bars, whispering urgently.“Belle?” I croaked, my voice barely above a whisper. “Is that you?” I asked. As I force my eyes to look against the dim light, trying to confirm my suspicion of the figure crouched in the corner of my cell."Yes it's me, you need not worry. I need to get you out of here" she said in a hurry as I looked at her in confusion. I couldn't leave until I had the antidote in my hands which she is well aware of.My heart raced as I sat up, brushing aside the strands of matted hair that clung to my sweat-soaked forehead. "You know I can't leave, what of our plans?, I need to get the antidote immediately for the
