"Sam?"
Sam turned his head, his eyes meeting those of his fiancée.
"Hello, beautiful." He smiled as he reached for her, quickly embracing her.
"How are you feeling?" He asked, his voice muffled by her hair.
Y/n giggled, "I'm alright."
Sam smiled to himself, this was like a dream come true to him. Everything he had ever wanted, was right her in front of him-
"Sam! Hurry up we have work to do!" His father called.
Sam and y/n pulled away, "coming father!" Sam called.
The two spilt ways but not before Sam blew her a kiss, which she happily received.
He walked with his father into the town, looking back every so often. While looking back, he thought he saw a flash of white in the bushes. He shrugged it off as he continued on his way.
He had a job, of course. And he wouldn't let anyone stop him from protecting her.
~~~
"Sapnap! That was a close one!" Y/n quietly scolded.
Sapnap scoffed as he looked at the girl, "whatever! I won't get caught by the 'Royal Firebugs' or whatever you call them!"
Y/n shook her head, but let out a little laugh at the dark haired man's joke.
"It's the 'Royal Fireguard', Sap!" She said, Sapnap just shook his head.
The two sat on the bed, joking and laughing together like friends.
That was, until Wilbur's footsteps could be heard down the hall.
Y/n eyes got big as she started frantically looking around the room for a place to hide him.
"What's wrong princess did-" Sapnap began to taunt.
"You need to hide! Now! Wilbur is on his way down and he'll surely have you killed!"
Sapnap finally got the memo and nodded, rolling under her bed in just in time. The door flew up, and Wilbur's silhouette emerged through the door. Wilbur's dull, emotionless smile was met by his sisters unsure and nervous one.
The air was thick and unsure. Wilbur had been doing this more frequently for the past few months, almost as if he was trying to catch his sister doing something wrong.
But alas, she never really was.
"Y/n. Im sure you know, that very very soon you will be wed." Wilbur paced around the room slowly.
"Y-yes Wil, I know that-"
"You're getting married in ten days, Y/n! You need to realize what your life is going to be like after this!" Wilbur's voice got louder, causing y/n to shiver. A faint bump could be heard from the bed, but Wilbur didn't seem to pay any attention to it.
Wilbur finally stopped in front of his sister, his hands firm on her shoulders.
"I know you're a smart girl, you take after mum, but you need to realize how much responsibility you will truly have."
Y/n sighed, looking at the floor for comfort. Never in her life had she wanted to smack Wilbur more than this moment, and that was saying something.
"Maybe, maybe I don't want that responsibility Wil I-"
Smack
Y/n stubbed back a bit, hold her left cheek.
"DONT YOU DARE SAY THAT YOU UNGRATEFUL GIRL! YOU WILL HAVE TO LEARN ONE DAY MY DEAR Y/N THAT YOU DONT GET TO CHOOSE YOUR LIFE!" Wilbur shouted. His eyes lit up like flames in the night, his anger swirling around the room and darting towards his sister.
Small tears pooled on the girls cheek as she nodded. Fear bubbled in her stomach.
Wilbur stormed out of the room with clenched fists as he slammed the door shut.
Y/n knelt down next to her bed, wiping away her tears. She felt two hands pop out and pull her in, causing her to gasp.
Her back was up against his front, her tears poured out more as she realized what Sap had heard.
"Sap, I'm sorry I should've told you I-"
"Shhh, Princess. Don't sweat it ok?" He said, kissing her ear.
"I know how your family can be, alright. Let's just stay right here for awhile mkay?"
Y/n nodded as she leaned back again the bandanna wearing man.
Unbeknownst to her. The bandanna man had known about the marriage well before the first garden visit.
Yet he didn't seem to care.
~~~
Y/n shot up from her bed. Her head was aching and her body felt tired.
She started to recall all the events from earlier, maybe they were just a dream? Oh how she prayed they were just a dream.
That thought was shattered as she noticed a white bandanna on her nightstand, causing chills to go down her spine.
So it wasn't a dream.
Wil had really hit her, she was really supposed to be married in ten whole days.
Y/n let out a sigh as she went to her mirror to check out the slap. A fresh bruise rested on her cheek, when she touched it she recoiled from her hand in pain.
Damn, Wilbur had an arm didn't he?
She yawned as she checked the clock, 2:33 AM.
Sam was probably home by know and in his bed, Wil must have said something to steer him away to his room without saying goodnight.
The girl shook her head again and made her way back to bed. She melted into her pillow as sleep kidnapped her back once again.
Well, she was wrong about the 10 day being left. She was now down to nine.
~~~
Work had been quite the handful today, leaving Sam totally exhausted.
"Good work today, son!" Bad beamed. Sam only nodded as he made his way out.
As he walked back toward the castle, he decided to take a small detour to the lesser part of town.
And oh boy was that a bad idea.
As he walked, he heard three voices in the alleyway, all men, laughing and joking around.
"Seriously man! That's insane of you to do that! She's literally gonna get married soon, how'd you not know!" A British sounding voice said.
"Yeah man, it was all in the papers and everything! How the hell did you not know?" A voice, void of any real distinguished accent said, a wheeze coming from him.
"I've know, alright! And listen here, I care about her ok? Fiancé or not I'll always care!" The third and final voice spoke, yet this one caused Sam's blood to run cold. He knew who the voice belonged too.
Sam shook he head, trying to convince himself it wasn't him.
Yet the next words captivated him.
"So what? He's not gonna find out I marked his poor little fiancé until it's too late! He'll never know about our late night meetings, because I know what he's hiding..."
Sam turned back to where the sound of the voices were coming from. He backed up against a cold brick wall, he felt conflicted.
Surely he wasn't talking about Y/n and him, right?
Right?
