*Ancient times*
The night was so quiet that even a pin dropping sound would seem to be loud.
It was not an excellent idea being out at such nights either being tje fear of being robbed for worse run into some carnivorous animal.
despite all this a soul was running like her life depended on it.
She ran causing her heart rate to go crazy. she didn't stop until she felt like passing out and took deep breaths
"Could this day get any worse?" Enola said to no one particular still catching up on her breath.
Suddenly the sound of branch of twitching no far away took her attention as she left out a little gasp.
She tried hard to look at the source of sound but the fog wasn't allowing her.
she narrowed her eyes and flinched when she saw something moving
"Please don't be bandits please don't bee bandits" Enola pleaded.
She sighed when it looked like her begging was fulfilled but she screamed when she realized her begging wasn't fulfilled the way she wanted.
Parting the fog walked out a pack of wolves looking at her like she was their feast.
Enola's breath got stuck in her throat as she froze at the spot.
what was she suppose to do?
Run? No wolves are much faster.
scare them? yeah like they would be scared.
climb something high? but there are no trees here.
Darn it!
The wolves growled before attacking Enola but before they could reach a horse blocked their way rode by a charming man.
The wolves barked at him angrily for disturbing them from having their feasts but the man didn't care.
he shielded the girl like the prince shield hid princess novels and movies.
Suddenly a wolf found a gap from where he could get past the horse which he did and attacked Enola.
"Your highness!"
Exclaimed the guards reaching towards us scaring the pack of wolves away leaving just one wolf behind.
The left wolf was jumped to attack Enola. She closed her eyes not wanting to witness her own death but frowned when no pain came but only a groan filled with pain.
Enola opened her eyes and saw the horrifying scene of the wolf being in cut into 2 parts while the man stood their with his arm bleeding from wolf scratches
"Oh My God! Are you okay?" Enola practically yelled before walking towards the man and checking his arm.
Her bold actions shocked the man but he quickly regained himself and cleared his throat.
Enola looked at him with her beautiful Green eyes concern filling in then still not leaving his arm.
"Is something wrong with your throat? i am not a doctor but i do know medical skills come let me address your wounds as well as your throat!"
The man was left with no words. never in his life has he ever saw someone so stupid and ........innocent.
"leave your highness you fool!"
Enola head snapped towards the guards who looked at her like she had committed a crime.
Your Highness?
Oh no please!
Don't tell me he is a prince?
" did you not hear me?" The guard roared to which Enola immediately bowed to man in front of her
"Pardon me your Highness for my foolishness. i was carried away because of the situation and didn't recognize you"
"You still didn't thank his highn..."
The man gave his guards a deathly glare which was saying s**t the f**k up of you wish to sending chills down everyone's spine.
"My apologize for not thanking you your highness!"
The man's eyes softened once they fell on the woman in front of him.
"What's your name?"
the man asked
"Enola Holmes. Your highness"
Enola replied
"Stand up on your feets Enola Holmes!"
Enola spared no time in obliging his order as it hurts to bow.
"Can you attend the wound?"
Enola eyes snapped towards him. did she heard him right?
"Yes my pleasure your highness!"
She replied
for some reason the man hated Enola calling him your highness
"Night Salazar!"
He said irritated confusing Enola
Does he want me to address him by his name?
Enola assumption was proved right when the man repeated
'My name is Night so call me that!"
