Trouble at the ball pt:2

"What," he said shocked. "If you won't kill the peasant then I will," she said crafting a sword. "Nova," she called out. As Nova arrived beside her she kneeled me on the ground. "Do you have any final words," Malory said rudely. "Yeah, go to hell," I said rudely. She looked so angry I started worrying. "Now now lets not kill anyone at the ball," Rose said frantically. "Very well queen Rose," Malory said as she put away her sword. Suddenly a black and purple portal appeared. There three guards bowed. "We have arrived your majesty," one guard said strongly. "Take her to the dungeon," Malory said rudely. "I want her executed at dawn," she said harshly. The guards buckled my ankles and hands. I glared at Malory and Nova. All Malory did was smirk.

As the teleported to the dungeon they shoved me in a cell. "You shouldn't have done that," a guard said calmly. "The queen rarely ever put someone to death the next morning," one said softly. As they walked away I sat down on the brick bench. Just then a gust of wind entered the dungeon. "Today we will be having freezing temperatures," a voice called out. As they filled the dungeon with snow and ice I started shaking. "This shouldn't bother y'all since y'all have fur on," the voice said lowering the temperature even more.

As I laid down on the seat trying to stay warm all efforts failed. I could feel my body let go for a while. My heartbeat slowed down meanwhile everyone else was laughing at the temperature. They said to lower it even more. As the voice did what they said the temperature was around negative two hundred. As I saw my finger turned purple I started tearing up. I felt myself blackout as the voices faded away.

When I woke up I was standing on a wooden pedestal in the middle of town. "She's awake," a voice called out. Malory arrived with a sword ready. Leo and Nova stood beside her. I stared at Leo as tears filled my eyes. "Mother please don't kill her," Leo said begging. "And why not Leo you've been asking me not to kill this girl all day," she said curiously. "What if she has children," he said frantically. "I do suppose," she said giving in. "Very well you'll have one more chance from me before I executed you," Malory said in a cold tone. I nodded my head as Leo set me free from the chains.

"When you get back to Roses castle apologize and get a bunch of rest," he whispered in my ear. I nodded my head and walked away from him with my head down. "Hey mom I'm going to practice archery in the forest," he said before walking off.

As Skylar apologized for ruining Rose's ball she was welcomed with open arms and Rose was even shocked how she wasn't scared of Malory at all. However, one thing Skylar didn't do was rest. She knew her body was ill and didn't tell anyone. After about a week of not telling anyone she was walking through the forest when she saw a clan member.

She could feel her body pull closer towards the member even though she didn't want to. "Skylar you can come out," Leo said gently. As she felt her body obey his command like a slave. She wondered how he found her. "Hey," he said softly. She just waved her hand and refused to speak. She gave him a gentle smile before walking away. He reached out and grabbed her wrist causing her to fall backwards.

"What's wrong," he said coldly. As Skylar just shook her head and smiled Leo realized she had bruises all over her body. He pulled her closer but all she did was smile. If only her smile was a smile of happiness instead of a smile of pain and suffering.

><><><><><><><><><><><><

"Skylar," he said coldly. All I did was look up at him and smile more. I just got up from the ground and walked away. I walked back to the castle before I was stopped again. "You have two seconds to tell me who did this," Leo said harshly. I turned around and smile again. I knew who did it I just couldn't tell him. I mean while Clover, Rose, and Amelia treated me with kindness everyone else just hated me. The other maids would take my outfit, the chefs would spill drinks over my head, the guards would hit me everyday. Anywhere I went I would just be hated.

Most of the people in town refused to attend to me so I just learned to grow my own food. It was hard considering I was getting sicker by the day. I couldn't tell Rose because a war would break out and I couldn't tell Leo due to how possessive he was.

As I continued to walk away I saw Leo looking confused and concerned. When I reached the castle I was tripped on the way in and the maids blew dust in my face. However, all I did was smile because I didn't want them to see my pain. When I reached my room I realized they had wrote slut in red on my door.

I just sat there thinking why did this have to happen. Although as the door opened I was forced to put on a smile again as Rose walked in. "Good to see you happy," Rose said cheerfully. I just smiled and nodded my head. "Well, if you don't need anything I'll be on my way out," I just waved bye as she walked out the door. I just stared out my window as someone threw another rock through it. I didn't even bother to help myself again.

><><><><><><><><><><><><

As Skylar was dealing with all the hate Leo could sense something was wrong. However, he just couldn't figure it out. Skylar just sat on her bed crying silently. As she cried she hadn't realized Leo was looking at her broken window. Along with the notes she had been receiving. As he sat on the bed he looked at Skylar not knowing how to help her. She didn't even realize he was in her room till she felt his hand on her back.

As Leo comforted Skylar she saw how he felt worried. "Leo I'll be okay," Skylar said excitedly. Even though she knew she couldn't keep up this act for long she tried her hardest. She just wiped the tears from her face and smiled.

><><><><><><><><

"Sky I love you. Just please don't give up," he said tearfully. "I'm okay Leo don't worry about me," I said happily. "I'll be alright," I said joyfully. "Just keep holding on," he said sadly. I looked up to see him holding back tears. "You're right Leo, I'm not okay," I said feeling the smile fade away. "Sometimes I want to give up," I said tearfully. "I'm so tired of sitting here putting on a fake smile. I'm tired of this. I'm tired of the hate, I'm tired of being here," I said sobbingly.

Leo pulled me closer holding me tightly. "Let it all out," he said holding back tearfully. "Let me give up Leo," I said sobbingly. "Why do you still keep trying to save me," I said tearfully. "Because I love you Sky," he said tearfully. "I don't you want to go. I don't want to lose my lover. I don't want you to leave me," he said tears falling down his cheeks.

"Don't leave me Skylar," he said tearfully. "Leo I can't hold on any longer," I said tearfully. He held me even tighter. "Skylar please don't go I need you," he said tears streaming. "It's always going to be like this. The hate I get, all because I loved you," I said tearfully. "Skylar please I need you. Please don't leave me," he said tearfully. "I can't promise you Leo," I said sobbingly.

"I hate this, I hate fighting to live when everyone wants me dead," I said tearfully. "Skylar if you move in with me I can promise you that you won't receive any hate," he said tearfully. "Leo me and you both know that it's not possible," I said tearfully.

"Well let's try," he said tearfully. I looked up at him with tears flowing. "Leo I just want to be loved. I just want all the pain to stop," I said sobbing. "It's always going to stay the same though. The hate, the pain, the heartbreak," I said tearfully. "Let's go somewhere," he said summoning a portal.

As he took my hand and walked me through the portal he lead me to a place surrounded in purple trees. The water was flowing calmly and gently. The scent was pleasing and it brought me comfort. "This is where I go when I'm stressed," he said calmly. As he sat me down by the river he plucked a peach from a peach tree. As he handed me the fruit he smile. "Take a bite," he said softly. As I bit the fruit I felt calmer.
