Drowning in Fire

Frostbite

"This is not the time Kai"

"It prince Kai, and I am the army general, do not make commands in my name"

"I am the king I do what I want" his voice boomed through the crowd

all their heads turned in my directions staring in silence

they quickly continues doing what there were doing leaving me alone with the kings once again

" those rats walked through my kingdom liked they own it"

" they have been thrown out by the rebels they had nowhere else to stay" I questioned

" that's not our problem" he snapped

" We have the resources"

"it's not our responsibility"

"It's not your problem, this is something for me to deal with"

His eyes darkened as he took a step toward me

" ever since that rat had come here you've been bold prince kai"

his voice was covered in venom and content. he wanted her gone and I knew it

she killed his number one killer and for the first time I pose a threat to his power

a marriage with a being far more powerful than any of us could imagine

and she was also my biggest weakness and he knew it

I couldn't let him know I was scared

she isn't my biggest weakness but my biggest asset

" my fiancé isn't something your should fear, she a leader in your army and the future queen of your kingdom, your fate will be in her hands so I suggest you watch your mouth king"

I don't know what came over me, but no one will speak about her in that tone

within seconds I was surrounded by my father's soldiers and I felt cold fingers around my neck

"I would suggest that you watch your mouth"

I could feel fire rising in my fingertips but I would be executed if I tried to harm or kill the current king

"Stop Stop" a familiar voice filled my ears

I looked up and saw my mother running towards us

She wore a beautiful navy blue dress and her hair had been pulled up into a tight bun

She ran into one of his guards

"Let my son go!" she yelled pounding on the backs of one of his guards

"Please !" I listened to her pleas as his grip tightened around my neck

"Someone needs to teach this boy a lesson," he said reaching into his pocket with his free hand

He pulls out a blade and raises it to my face

" how about we add a scar to the bloody prince's collection

He slowly brought the blade against my cheek and pressed it into my flesh

I winced at the pain

I waited for my father to go farther

But nothing happed

When I finally willed myself to open my eyes my father's head was turned to his guard's whose bodies were frozen in odd positions as well

Eventually, I heard groans from these men

I reached up and pulled my father's hands from my neck and his skin was cold to the touch
