Cursed Strings Of Love (2)

Emilia walked towards me and held my arm, but shrieked and backed away as her hands burst into cuts and she started bleeding. "Emilia!" She backed away from, eyes wide. "Ho-how?!""I don't know! Go get help!" She turned and ran away as my heart ached. I heard gasps and shrieks of horror as Emilia ran into the ball room.

I ran out the door and tried my best to tear the invisible strings from my wrists. "Zachary, is everything alright?" I looked up and saw Ceanna. "No everything is not alright!" I ran around to the back of the castle and entered the sewing room. I picked up the nearest set of scissors and sliced above my wrists.

I relaxed as my wrists fell loosely. "I'm safe, finally." My wrists tightened and I shouted in anger. "LEAVE ME ALONE YOU DAMN STRINGS!" Emilia ran into the room. "Zachary! I found a boo-" She shrieked loudly as blood burst from her body and her dress tore. "Emilia!" Tears sprung to my eyes as she fell to the ground. I could finally see shimmering strings wrap around her body and tighten to bound her. She whimpered loudly as more blood pooled around her. "Zachary, it-it's a curse. If you cheat on your tru-true love-" She coughed whimpered again. "Invisible strings are destined to kill your love while being attached to you." I cried as Emilia looked at me, betrayal and heartache in her eyes. "How many times did you cheat on me, for this many strings?" I sobbed and hugged her to my chest. "I'm sorry Emilia, I'm sorry!" Her blood soaked my clothes as she bled more and more.

I held her limp, bloody body to my chest as I sobbed. Heavy footsteps thundered in my head as knights filled the room. "Prince Zachary!" I looked up, eyes foggy. "It's my fault, I killed her, I killed my one and only love." Emilia's parents looked at me in horror and anger. My own parents stood stock still and looked at me with disgust.

(In my real dream, they burn him to death but that doesn't seem to fit their high-class ways)

I didn't even struggle as I was led up to the guillotine. My shackled wrists occasionally twisted and jerked, but the damage was done. Emilia was dead. With her blood on my hands.

I kneeled down pathetically as the village cheered for my killing. Of course, they couldn't kill me yet. A guard pulled my head up to face the crowd. His shouting voice made me wince as he spoke to the crowd. "PRINCE ZACHARY OF THE ZEARUS KINGDOM, CHARGED WITH MURDER OF PRINCESS EMILIA FROM KINGDOM VOVOLAN. DO YOU PLEAD GUILTY?" I nodded my head weakly. "SPEAK PRINCE ZACHARY!" "I plead guilty." The crowd booed. They hated willing prisoners.

The guard backed away and raised his hand. I gave my silent prayers and begged forgiveness for Emilia, I just wanted to see her again.

Everything seemed to slow and I saw the guard lower his arm. A small sting itched at the back of my neck and I felt my head bounce, before my eyesight dimmed and everything went dark.

"I love you, Emilia..."

Ok I've started to realize that this are more short stories and not prompts. Oops? If there's a problem with this than just let me know.
