Saved From Hell

"Good boy" She praised and he jumped around like an excited puppy while Nyx was still preparing herself for them to leave for the central place of their city.

Ian is Nyx 7 years little brother, an adorable blonde with blue eyes. They both loosed their parents a year before. Since then, they do their best to survive by doing some jobs here and there but Nyx always finished fired. Not because she is lazy or because she is disrespectful. It's because she is beautiful. She was gifted with long black silky hairs, ocean eyes and soft features. Nyx is somehow unique let's say. Her beauty attracts men of all ages and of all classes. So she will receive all kind of proposal and some will even ask for a night stand so she refuses their proposals in a soft way that is very typical of her.

"Nyx Jersey is here, again" Informed Ian.

"Again?!" She looked through her balcony and he was about to start a serenade when she screamed,"By God's bones, in how many languages will I have to tell you I don't want to marry you?" She asked. "But I love you Nyx" He pleaded.

"Leave my house" She ordered. "No I'll stay here until you marry me" He insisted.

"Okay, don't move, stay there and wait for me" She told him igniting a spark of hope in him.

Jersey was the son of a rich merchant and since the day he saw her in a market, he doesn't want to let go. She had pushed him away in many ways but he seemed not to understand. Although he was good looking and a very kind boy, getting married was not in Nyx plans.

The spark of his hope was quenched the second Nyx poured water on him."I don't want to become YOUR WIFE, NEVER!"

People passing by their house where not surprised anymore. Only women passing by started to gossip.

"Poor Jersey, such a handsome and rich man humiliated by a savage" said a lady

"What does he even find interesting in her, she doesn't even wear dresses, only pants as if she was a killer" said another

"She is not even that beautiful " commented the last woman as they moved to their occupations.

Like I said a soft way very typical of Nyx.

Soon, the early morning scene was long forgotten and Nyx arrived the central place with Ian. Ian started playing his drums while Nyx was doing acrobatics. It attracted the attention of many, alongside with coins, and the craziest came when she started juggling with lit torches. People were in total awe before Nyx talent so much so that an unexpected watcher came out of the shadows with words who shocked more than one.

"Young dancer, marry me and I'll cover you with riches and you will be the most feared woman in this country" The crown prince proposed and Nyx blinked as if it will help her digest the news.

People where all astonished. This prince had never asked a commoner to marry him. Although Nyx was very beautiful, they never thought, the prince will choose her, an orphan. But shock was written all over their face when Nyx answered although it was not surprising.

"I'm sorry your Highness, but I can't" She said softly a little understanding of the humiliation he must have crowned himself with now. The problem was not him, on the contrary, he was very handsome and surely lust after by many women, but she didn't want to end her life locked up in a palace doing nothing but smiling and looking pretty. Moreover, she is not the kind of woman that if she falls in love, she will share her man with someone else and that is likely to happen if she marries this man who will surely get married to many princesses.

The prince gritted his teeth. He heard about the multiple men who proposed to her and she eventually rejected their offer. He knew some were not persistent enough and those who were too much finished mocked at. But he couldn't take no as an answer.

"Tell me whatever you want and I will give it to you" He said kissing her knuckles and she blushed a little before answering him"What I want is what you are trying to take away from me– my liberty and freedom"

"Young dancer, it is not everyday that a prince will ask you to marry him, please, reconsider"

"Sorry your Highness, but I not ready for marriage, I've not yet accomplish my dream"

"You idiot, I'm giving you power and wealth but you still turn down my proposal?" He scolded angrily.

"Ha! And do you really think that when you'll insult me I'll run into your arms, I don't want to marry you, final full stop!" She snapped angrily.

"You, a little commoner turning down a crown prince proposal, guards, lock her in the cells together with her brother, it will give her time to think better."

"Don't dare touch him if not I'll beat the hell out of you, don't try" She yelled but they still dragged her to the cells in the palace.

Soon Nyx and Ian were handcuffed, sitted on the floor like the prisoners they were waiting for judgement. "I'm sorry Nyx" Said little Ian, looking deeply sad. "Why?"

"Because I could not protect you, I am the man and father told me to protect you"

"But I am the elder sister and father asked me to protect you, don't mind we'll get out of here...soon, try to sleep, you'll need it for our escape." She told him and he fell asleep on her laps.

She brushed some strands of hairs away from his soft face while thinking of a good plan. She still have her daggers in her boots but she doesn't know how many guards are out and she doesn't know if she can't beat two bulky guards at a time. She sighed heavily until she heard massive steps approaching till halting infront of her cell. Once the door opened, she saw the crown prince entering followed by his personal guards.

"So, what do you say commoner, still don't want to marry me?" He asked.

"Sorry to tell you this but you are mad, so you are ready to marry a woman you know nothing from Eve just because she is beautiful?"

"I think you speak too much, if I cut your tongue, you'll still be pretty right?" He smirked wickedly but the unsheathed noise of a sword was heard followed by the piercing of flesh and a strong gasp, resulting in the fall of the Crown Prince body, lifeless...
