Clearing his throat he bowed in front of me "My lady if you will please follow me" straightening himself he came up from his bow and waited for me to follow him with his arms behind his back. He still had a half shocked look on his face, it was obvious he was trying to get himself together again. I crossed my arms over my chest and looked him up and down, not sure if I wanted to comply or not, he just stood there patiently waiting for me. After fighting with myself in my head for a few more minutes about what to do, I shrugged and gave in to my curiosity, although I should know by now that curiosity killed the fucking cat. We walked out of the room and moved in the opposite direction of which I came from earlier, the whole way the old man didn't say a word, only slipped a curious look at me from time to time and it was starting to get on my last nerve. He gave me his name while I pretended not to hear a word he spoke and looked around me to see where would be the best place to escape from. It seemed futile at this stage because everywhere I looked you could see the blue water of the ocean, which would explain the boat ride. Internally sighing at my predicament, I reminded myself to just stay calm, my opportunity to escape will come, I just had to stay alert and remember that they will show their hands eventually.    

A little earlier.

Godfrey wasn't happy about being assigned a new girl again, he mumbled to himself while walking to the bedroom where Sandy and Cat was preparing her. "How long will they keep on doing this, before they realize they will not find what they are looking for?" "How many women will they bring here and sacrifice for their stupid cause and then take them back, wipe their memories and let them go again" he grumpily spoke to himself not happy with the way things have been going over the years. He couldn't believe how low his people has fallen to go this far in kidnapping young woman and completely uprooting their lives. They might have been able to wipe the girls memories, but what about their families and friends memories, they couldn't wipe theirs. They still remember their daughter's being missing and the heartache that went with not knowing whether they were still alive or dead. He opened the heavy doors with a sigh feeling angry and annoyed at the powers higher up, why couldn't they assign someone else to these girls, he didn't know how much longer he was going to be able to stay quiet about this. What he found when he walked into the room was shocking to say the least, he really didn't expect it. In front of him stood someone special, not just someone that resembled the person they were looking for but HER, the ONE they have been trying to locate, it seemed the guys finally did their work correctly. Finally all of this could come to an end and no more girls need to be taken from their homes and life's, they were safe now and their people could live on without having to always be scared of what comes next.

He almost fell from not looking where he was going; but luckily he corrected himself in time, and he didn't kiss the carpet, how embarrassing that would have been. He couldn't help but stare at the most beautiful young woman standing there, granted with super naturals no one was bad looking, all of them were good looking people, but she was just breathtaking. Her hair was black as night and fell down to her waist, she had a goddess body and her eyes were the darkest blue he has ever seen and she was looking at him with a worried look on her face. His heart started to race like crazy at the thought that she was worried about him, so to make up for his clumsiness he bowed in front of her, hoping she didn't think he was a fool. He didn't miss her actions that gave her this fierce and angry look which made him restless and nervous, something he hasn't been since he was a young man. He almost smiled at the thought, but stopped himself in time to not seem creepy and unprofessional, never in his life of working for the royals has he been anything but good at his job. They left the room and she walked next to him with her head held high and her shoulders pushed back, a blank look on her face, making it very hard to read her emotions, he couldn't even feel anything coming from her and that scared him a little bit. She had the look of defiance all over her and that made him feel proud and even excited about what's to come, he tried hard to hide the smile that wanted to creep up on his face, but it was very difficult to do. He couldn't help but feel proud to be the one to take care of her and make sure she has everything she needs, since he was a boy he was told the myth about the one that would come and save them. Over the years he believed less and less that such a person even existed, that was until now, walking beside her felt unreal, now he thank the higher up for granting him this opportunity.

I couldn't understand the old man's reaction to me, heck I didn't even understand everything that was happening to me, let alone the look of pride on his face, why on fucking earth was he feeling proud?. It seemed as if they knew me or something along those lines, but that wasn't possible, I have never been here and most definitely never met any of these people in my life. He kept looking at me under his lashes as if he couldn't believe what he saw, like I was just a mirage and would disappear any minute, oh how I wished I could, it was times like these that I wished I had magic powers. Now granted I have never in my life wore anything remotely close to anything as nice as what I was wearing now, never felt as sexy as I did at that moment, But for an old man to react that way towards me was beyond me. I never wore makeup back home and never wore my hair down, it was always up on my head in a messy bun, only when I slept at night did I leave my hair loose to breath. Never liking to bring attention to myself I made myself invisible to others, to me attention brought pain and misery, so for me to be wearing anything like this is nerve racking. Shaking my head again, I guess I will never understand these people and I truly never wanted to in any case and hopefully one day I will be free of these people and of this stupid island....
