He was dressed as a knight but was deadlier than the devil. His clothes were made of the finest armour. Dressed as if he ruled the world, he was indestructible and he enjoyed the thrill of it. As he got off the carriage the whole line of army generals bowed to him. As an indication of sort, the rest of the public motioned in a synchronised bow.

He smiled evilly and without realising it I didn't bow, but looked at him dead in the eyes. He raised his hands ushering for women he didn't find 'attractive' to get out of his sight or he would behead them. Until he was down to the last three. Me, Suha and a local girl who catches attention everywhere she goes. She is Lila. Her body was lean and curvy , her hair curly and kinky. She looked like a princess. He was bound to pick her I thought to myself.

For a split second I locked eyes on him and anger and disgust filled my face before I could hide it. A smirk grew on his face and I stood there shaking not because I was scared but because I was worried about what would happen if I disrespected him. My friends always called me careless because of my mouth.

As he moved around us like a vulture to its prey. He touched and prodded at Lila before dismissing her to my shock. My heart rate started accelerating and before I could control my mouth I shouted " How could you , you monster. Taking women and girls and abusing them as sex objects. When they don't want to have your children you kill them or they become your dog!" I bellowed.

Suha stood there gobsmacked , confusion and anger was oozing from her body. How could she not shut her mouth for once she thought. I looked at her for any way of saying sorry but she stood there before she screamed at me. " Are you insane, how could you!".

I looked at her before looking at the king who was now bemused . His arms were folded and his smirk was even more sinister than before. He had a glint in his eye like a lightbulb movement. I knew I fucked up , but at least I would die in the most honourable way. I said what needed to be said and I don't care what anyone else thinks.

He may be the king but I can defend myself and not hide behind an ant my of wimpy men who use weapons to defend their pathetic asses.
I could feel my chest heaving as I held my breath until he gestured for one of the guards to come here. They accepted and he whispered in his ear. A deathly silence filled the street that was now watching my encounter as Suha cried silently. Her years larger than a puddle.

"You , the one in the lilac dress, stand forward for your king. Bow to him for you defied him, not once but twice or I shall off with your head". I hesitated and stood still not moving from my position.

A dark glint formed in his eyes as he started walking towards me. I brace myself , holding my composure and not shaking or showing any sign of weakness. He watched me from head to toe. And he then came close to my face, our noses nearly touching. "My , my what have we here. A little whore, thinking she can shame the king and get away with it. I will give you two seconds to bend down and kiss my dirty shoes or so help me god I will hack your pretty friend to death in front of you".

As those words escalated his mouth my whole body went stiff cold. He is going to hurt her and instead of not letting my pride get the better of me . She could potentially die. "One......t" before he could say two I dove down to kiss his shoes. I sat kneeling down and to my surprise he knelt down and whispered into my ears.

" You are sexy when you are mad. But I dare you to disobey me like that again and I will hurt you in the most inhumane ways. Do you understand me?" I quickly nodded and he stood up. I followed and kept my gaze down.

"People of this town, as your king I have chosen the woman to birth my children", as he said those words u prayed somewhere deep down that it wasn't me. I loved and adored my friend but I cared a bit more about myself.

" The whore who I will be fucking is actually a virgin. She's never had sex and I will be her first. She will be easy to inseminate and impregnate. Therefore, I choose Brianna.

As he said my name, anguish burned through my body. It was a bittersweet moment because I was glad Suha didn't get picked. One because she's a child at heart and can't handle responsibility and two she wouldn't be able to deal with the psychological and physical trauma he would put her through. However, it was bitter because it was me who will marry and share a bed with.

I will not be a simple short period thing but a long term commitment. He had destroyed my life and it hasn't even began.

I looked at Suha and I gave her the nod. Before we left for the 'auction' me and Suha planned a signal and plan if we got picked. If we got picked we would do a single to indicate when to go and we would run. We planted food, clothes and money in certain parts of town to make it easy to get away safely.

Without thinking Suha signalled for me and we ran. We ran for dear life and behind us we could hear shouting and screaming. The soldiers started chasing and chasing. We slipped through a market stall of bread and vegetables . We donged and dived through the crowd and ran to a safe run down building.

Inside it we regained our breaths and grabbed each other to doge anyone who might see us. That night we stayed awake as the whole village searched for us. Through gossiping we heard the king has set a bounty for both our heads and there was going to be a massive reward.

Looking at Suha I saw she was crying and tearfully she stuttered . "Brianna , I want to get away from here as fast as possible. Please don't let this horrid man take you away from me. You are more than a sister , your my mentor , sensei and I can't be without you". I caressed her face and said " You will never be alone. I will not let that disgusting man take me without a fight. She nodded tearfully and slept on my chest.

Like dolphins we slept with one eye shut and the other open.
