I was peacefully sleeping in bed, when I woke up to Rudy pulling telling me we had to leave, he runs us downstairs picking up a pair of shoes telling me to jump on his back. I listen as I was still half asleep, he runs out the house where I saw everyone else running scared, I didn’t know what the heck was gonna on, at this point, I still didn’t know if I was dreaming or not. Rudy follows everyone else into a little bunker where it was very cramped, I jump down off his back as he takes my hand walking us through the mass of people, he takes us over to his mother who as we got closer was standing on a little raised platform, it was weird not seeing her with his father.
“You two are safe,” she says wrapping both Rudy and me in a hug tightly, I still didn’t know if this was happening, I was basically still asleep.
“I wouldn’t let anything happen to Savannah,” he says as we pull away, I was about to ask what was happening but a person running into the bunk stopped me.
“Everyone silence, they’ve made it through we have to hide just stay quiet,” he says closing the doors, so it was pitch black but I felt a hand take mine.
“It’s okay” I hear Rudy whisper, so I knew it was his.
A few moments go by before we start to hear walking outside, close to where we were.
“We know you’re hiding somewhere here, a message from the king, he’s gonna get his daughter back one way or another” the guy starts, wait my dads sent them.
“You have three days to return her safely to the guards waiting outside these grounds, or we’re coming in to destroy this place and take back the princess” I hold tightly to Rudy’s hand, they have to let me go or their gonna start to hurt everyone.
“Rudy, I could give my myself up to them now and they’ll stop,” I say, but his mother cuts in before Rudy could speak.
“Don’t you make a noise” she says, as it was dark she sounded ten times scarier, Rudy pulls me closer to him wrapping his arm around my shoulders.
“Don’t worry” he whispered, holding me tightly.
A few long minutes go by before the doors open, Rudy’s father and a couple of other men walking in standing by the entrance.
“The invaders have gone, it’s safe to go back to your houses, get some sleep sunrise is in a few hours, we have a lot to get done tomorrow,” he says moving aside as the bunk started to get emptier, everyone going back to their house.
I look towards Rudy scared, what the heck was gonna happen to me? was his father gonna do what the men say and give me back? What if he hurts me?
“Considering recent events I’ve decided that your wedding is being pulled forward” his father says as he stops in front of us “it’s now gonna be held tomorrow night” which makes my heart just sink, I’m never gonna be able to get home.
“We best get some rest,” his mother says both her and Rudy’s father walking out of the bunk, leaving Rudy and me alone.
“What are we gonna do?” I ask looking towards him, but by the look on his face he really didn’t know.
We make our way back to the house and into my bedroom, that way we could hear if the front door opens, he walks up and down thinking.
“What are we gonna do? You said you’d be able to get me out of here” I say holding back my tears, I really didn’t know what I was meant to do, am I ever gonna see my family or Ryan ever again?
“I’m still gonna get you out of here,” he says still pacing, but I stand up.
“How? We had two weeks to work out a plan to get me out, but now we have less than 24 hours” I cry, he walks over placing his hands on my shoulders as I continue to cry “maybe it would have been better if I would have shouted when my father’s men were here” I say looking down, but he shakes his head.
“The people in the bunk would have hurt you by the time your father’s men would have been able to get in,” he says looking at me with sad eyes.
“I could take them all, remember I am the Princess,” I say trying to act tough, but I really didn’t feel it at this moment.
“You are the Princess, who’s hasn’t got her wolf right now,” he says, I sigh he was right I’m basically a human at the minute.
“Maybe I just need to accept the fact I’m gonna be stuck here married to you,” I say sitting on the bed, it sounded mean but I didn’t mean for it too” you know maybe it’ll be fine people around here seem nice,” I say looking out the window.
“It isn’t gonna come to that I have an idea,” he says grabbing his bag that was by the door “who’s gonna be your maid of honour?” He asks putting his backpack on, he’s really thinking about that now.
“How’s that gonna help?” I ask, really I know I said maybe it would be fine married to him, but I wasn’t being serious.
“I can go get the person and while there I can speak with your family and tell them they have to be ready tomorrow night, so who’s it gonna be?” He asks, yeah that does sound like a good plan.
“Well I’ve always thought it would be my best friend Gabbie, but we had a fight before I left,” I say, he nods walking towards the door before I could finish.
“I won’t be long, get some sleep,” he says walking out before I could stop him.
“Rudy wait, she probably won’t come,” I shout but the sound of the front door closing shut me up, he already left.
I walk over to the bed and just lay there for hours thinking, if this doesn’t go to plan I could be married this time tomorrow, to a guy I don’t even love or barely know.
