Recap 1: her escape

3 days ago...

Lunar was at the shop, very close to the prince while he was talking to Leah. he looked at them from there and said to herself.

"This is my chance"

Lunar looked at him one more time and when she saw both of them not looking at her, she sneak off and entered in the crowd and ran away from where she was, her heart was pounding as she finally escaped from Reine's clutches, she was afraid, and for some reason, her heart ached, she felt like there was a heavy bulk in her chest which made her feel suffocated and bad for what she was doing now, she looked back and saw he wasn't following her, that means he hasn't found out yet what was going on, while she was running, she felt her yes aching and something liquid and warm fell on her cheeks, she reached out and touched it, what she saw made her stop and stood on her ground. she saw.... tears. she was crying, but.... why? why would she cry? this is what she wanted right? she wanted to ran away from him, she made this plan to go out with him because she knew Reine would never allow her to go out with Dean as long as he's still there with her, that's why she hutch this plan and made sure it'll work out all the way.

but now,why was she in tears,why was she crying? these questions popped in her mind but didn't find any answers. then, she saw him, she saw him in the sky, he's speed was marvelous as he looked below searching for her. when she saw him, she hid herself in one of the shops and was hidden by the gowns hanging on the walls and Infront of the shop. when she saw him passing, she got out of there and ran away from there, where she was going? she had no idea.

through all these days she's been planning to escape, all that she thought about was going away from him, before he could bed her, but she didn't think about where she would go after she left him. where she would stay after leaving his highness's care, what she would do after finally escaping, and now she was just roaming around the streets hiding each time she would spot Reine in the sky.

After half an hour of her running, she found herself meters away from the grey wall of mirrormoor, she was surprised seeing how tall it was and how many guards were there guarding the walls of mirrormoor. she also saw the large metal gates of mirrormoor with 20 to 30 guards guarding the large gates. in her head there was one thought, as long as she's in mirrormoor, Reine would always find her, because she was sure now that this prince would have surely let all the guards in mirrormoor to look for her, and was sure that those guards over there were also told to keep alert on her, if they see her, they should take her back to the palace.

she wanted to go out of those gates, away from the palace, away from mirrormoor, and away from Reine. but then, she remembered the on important rule Reine explained to her and that she should never even think or dream about breaking it, she remembered his words 'In mirrormoor, once the gates opens for you to leave, they would never open again for your return, because only the exiled ones are the one who are taken out of the gates of mirrormoor to be killed by the monsters and the beasts out there in the dark forest.'

thinking of all of this, made her heart ache again and almost regret to what she has done, but he stubbornness kicked in and shook all those guilty feelings away and was hellbent on leaving this damn city of Mirrormoor.

she took a deep breath and wanted to leave that spot, ready to make another plan on how she was going to escape. when she was about to leave, someone grabbed her hand. she got shocked and her heart started beating fast. she didn't know what to do if it was his highness the one who caught her or his guards. her heart pounded high and fear struck her heart.

"You are coming with us"

that's when she turn her face to see who was holding her hand. it wasn't his highness, nor his guards as they didn't wear the palace guards uniform. this was when she panicked as she started struggling to free herself from his grip.

"Let go of me!!!! let go!!!"

the guards at the gates heard something. one of them went to their general and asked.

"Sir! I think there's someone near the gates!!"

"Go search the area, if it's the lady his highness's looking for, report to his highness right away"

" Yes sir!! "

the guard left and headed to check. when he got there, there was no one. he sigh and went to report to his general.

sometime later .....

Lunar woke up, she sat down quickly as soon as she remembered what happened and what was still happening. the man knocked her down and took her with him before the guards even reached the place. Lunar looked around and saw where she was, she was in a room, not as big or as luxurious as the one back in the prince's chambers. but it was marvelous, and beautifully decorated as well she stood up, she was shocked to see that her outfit was already changed, now she wore a thin white sleeveless gown long enough to her feet. she was shocked at this and questions kept popping in her head, who might have done this? who might have changed her clothes.

then, she heard the door cracking, she turned and looked who was it that took her, that hired that man to come after her right after she ran away from his highness's clutches. and then her heart pounding, the man entered inside, the man who promised his highness that once she was out of his sight, he would come after her and take her away from him, it was non other than the lord who has been longing for Lunar's touch ever since he first saw her. Lunar was shocked to see this man. she remembered his highness Reine warning her many times about this man, and not just his highness but even the two girls and Alex warned her and told her that his highness was the safest place she could ever be and that she should never run away again from his sight because prince Reine would always keep her safe. safe from people like him, but she and her stubbornness didn't listen to any of them, and now she was trapped, trapped under this man's clutches, the clutches of lord Henry. and lunar remembered this man, a man at the auction, who claimed that his highness stole her away from him, and now he has her, inside his house, and it's all her fault, hers and no one else. only..... Her.
