The stranger

Her breathing was very heavy and she had to keep running if she wanted to live

"Run Aria" that voice keeps shouting while she kept on running

She ran into a dark crave in the forest,she held her breath for a long time thinking whoever or whatever was Chasing after her had left, and then she couldn't hold on any longer, the minute she thought of breathing she got stabbed from behind

"Ahh" she shouted from her dream "oh my Goodness, what kind of nightmare was that?" She asked herself as she went down on her knees to pray for three minutes

"Mama said breakfast is ready" Peter said right from behind the door

"I will be right down P" she responded as she stood up heading to the window just to feel the fresh air running through her skin "this smells like a good day" Aria said stepping down to pick up her dress and headed downstairs for breakfast

"Good morning mama" she greeted as her lips landed on her mothers cheeks "Good morning papa"

"Morning Aria" Maria replied "it's Sunday and yet you decided to wake up late" she added

Aria chuckles and said "we can't cheat nature mama" taking a spoon full of Rice

"Can't we eat something else in this house" Peter said dropping the spoon in his hand

"If you decide to help papa at work, we might as well have some pasta in this house" Aria told him starring at him angrily

"Your eyes might fall off if you keep looking at me that way"

"I can see you have no respect P"

"And I can see you are ready to be sent off for marriage"

"What as marriage got to do with this conversation, you are so out of point" Aria said

"Manners!" Maria shouted "if you need to talk, do that after your meal okay?"

"Yes mama" both Peter and Aria responded

THE PALACE

King Richard is seated at the dining table with his wife and mother having breakfast together

"Where's Liam?"Richard asked

"He is on his way Richard" Queen Paige said as she sipped her tea

"He doesn't have the habit of coming to breakfast" the Queen mother said smiling

"Well your son wasn't any better"

"Paige!" The king sounded as he hit the table

"I'm sorry but I wouldn't have your mother speak ill of my son while I'm on sit"

"Then you should teach your son the right things to do, being a prince is no Joke" the king said still looking upset

"I'm sorry Your Majesty"

Liam walked down the dining hall not knowing the situation he might have caused

"Morning father" he said as he sat down by the chair close to his mother "morning mother, sorry I'm late again"

"It's fine Prince" his mother told him

"When will be the right time to go hunting?" The king asked

"Tomorrow evening Father"

"Get ready then, we must go hunting tomorrow" King said as he stood up to leave the table and his mother followed

Liam and his mother was left behind

"Liam my dear, I've set a date for you to meet with Princess lily"

"Mother, we talked about this already,I'm old enough to pick my own bride"

"I know but…."

"Mother, I do not appreciate an arranged marriage just like you and father, I will decide who I want to marry"

"Okay then, just pick wisely"

Aria couldn't stop thinking about the nightmare she had, of course this isn't the first one but this one's a bit different or maybe just too different, more like a new chapter in a book of the lost princes

"I didn't get to see who it was" Aria told Jake

"Well it's just a dream Aria, you don't have to worry about it you know"

"But it felt so real, like I was running for real"

"You're fine Aria" he whispered.

The silent between us was weird, like a graveyard would always be

"Let's go to your house Jake" Aria said as she looked at him with passion

"Okay" he replied as he took my hand and lead the way

As we walked down to his home we spoke about how his last relationship was and why things turned out the wrong way.

"We could have made a lovely couple" he told aria

"I know Jake, you've always been my favorite person" Aria smiled just like a fool who's in love

Jake picked up his key right under the flower vase sitting outside his house right in front of his door.

"You still keep your keys there"

"Yes Aria, some things never change" he chuckles

He inserted the key into the door lock and turned it opened, he held Aria's hand and pulled her into tho house like he doesn't want to be seen with her.

His house still looks the same, the old looking sofa right beside his bed, the vintage kitchen with a moulded cooker.

"Sit" he said to Aria

"I miss coming here"

"Remember when you use to hide in my home just to get away from Peter" he said smiling at her seductively

"Don't look at me that way Jake" Aria told him "you know how it makes me feel"

"How about I make your hair for you"

"Jake come on, don't tease me"

"Tease you? Why would I?" His eyes were full with Un pure intentions as he looked at her

"You know how much I love making your hair, so why would I tease you?"

Before Aria could speak he pulled her closer grabbing her by the hand.

Placing his lips on hers, she sighs as his hand rubbed her back,sliding down to squeeze her ass as she straddle him, his dick hard against her thigh

She pulled out making way to catch her breath "this isn't right" she said

"You know how I feel about you and I know you feel the same way" Jake said as he walked towards her

"No… I mean yes but… it.. we ain't doing the right thing Jake" she said as she tries to step away from him but he was close enough to pull her closer.

His lips on hers are scorching, she kissed him back with great passion, her nipples tightened as his hands caress her breast

"I love you Aria" he whispered against the hallow of her neck as he kissed her

He was about to pull her dress open when a loud knock came from the door

"Who is it?" Jake asked as he looked pissed

"Liam"

"It's the prince" he whispered to Aria "I need to get going now, you can help by dropping the keys underneath the flower pot outside" he told her in whisper as he used his hands to adjust his hair and soon left her alone in the room

Aria walked towards the the window to have a look at the prince

"What business does the prince have with Jake" she spoke to herself

She did some cleaning before she left jake's home

On her way back home she decided to see Elena who she hasn't seen since the night of the party

"I wonder why she hasn't come to see me yet" she said

Waking down the street leading to Elena's home she saw a lady who was sitting and sobbing by the tallest tree in the neighborhood, she walked towards her and asked "Are you okay?"

The lady didn't say a word back, Aria sat by her side "whatever is making you cry should better worth it, because you are way too pretty to cry alone" Aria told her "I'm way bad when it comes to comforting people"

The young lady laughed "I can tell" she said as she cleaned her tears "I'm lily"

"Aria is my name" Aria said as she wiped those tears rolling down lily's cheeks

"My father wants me to marry someone I don't love"

"I understand your pain" Aria said as she picked up a stone which she threw into the river across them "I've always loved a particular man but I couldn't be with him because a friend of mine was in love with him"

"The situation is different"

"I know, but you shouldn't settle for things that don't make you happy lily"

Four armed men walked towards Aria and lily

"Princess lily here you are" the first man said

"Princess?" Aria spoke with great shock as she stood up "I'm sorry I…. I didn't know you… I… I'm sorry"

Lily chuckles "it's okay. Princess are human too"

"I'm sorry Princess, forgive my rude manners" Aria said as she bowed as sign of respect

"I have to go now Arian"

"It's Aria"

"Oh yes, Aria. I hope we meet again" lily said as she walked away lead by the armed guards
