Heirs Of Misfortune

3-The Great Escape

The next day Amara decided to tell Kalan about her plan to escape to the human realm. She didn't know if she was going to tell him about the King's abuses though because she feared that he might get mad and do something reckless. As she was leaving the castle her mother's servant asked her to go see Aiyla immediately.

Amara took a deep breath before knocking on the door. So many thoughts went through her head, but she had to face her fears and stand her ground. Surely they wouldn't dispose of her now that they needed her to replace Nahla in the quest.

After she knocked, a servant came and opened the door. Amara stepped inside the lavish apartment and was invited to sit on the purple velvet sofa and wait for her mother. Luckily, Aiyla and Claude had separate quarters, so she didn't have to deal with both of them at once.

,, Amara, dear! Thank you for coming!" her mother said as she entered the room.

Amara was surprised to hear her speak that way, but she had to play the game to see where this takes her. Unlike other fairies, Aiyla wasn't that tall, but her never-ending blonde hair, her hazel eyes, and her lush lips made her very desirable.

,, There is no need to thank me. How may I be of service? Amara asked.

,, I was wondering if you would like to be one of the warriors to accompany your sister..." and she gave Amara the best fake smile she could muster.

Amara's face dropped in amazement. ,, There are far better warriors out there... but I will think about it..." was all that she could say especially when she didn't know all the facts. The real facts.

,, There is no better warrior by your side than your sister. I heard that Kalan will also be one of the five and that makes me believe the quest will be a success." and again gave Amara her best fake smile.

,, Fine. I will talk to Kalan and see what he thinks. I will return to you with whatever news I have." Amara replied.

,, Thank you! Nahla will be very happy to hear you are going with her! The maid will see you out." Aiyla said and simply left the room.

Amara left straight to Kalan's villa. He was about to get in the car and leave for his military training when she arrived.

,, What are you doing here Princess? " he asked. ,, Is something wrong? " He knew her all too well.

,, I will go straight to the point, but somewhere more private. "

,, Let's use the study, father is away on business. " he suggested. Amara nodded and they went inside. When in the office, Kalan gestured for Amara to start talking.

,, Last night, after the meeting I overheard my mother say that she wants to send me instead of Nahla to retrieve the token."

,, What, but that is illegal..." Kalan pointed out.

,, Claude didn't agree, but today she wanted to see me and, apart from being nice to me, she asked me to be a part of those 5 warriors..." Amara continued.

,, The King will never allow it. He would send the five best he has if he is really thinking about her safety, no offense to you Amara." Kalan said. Amara was a great warrior, but she was never in a true battle.

,, None taken. I think that what she wants is for me to help Nahla retrieve the token, not to protect her. If she failed in convincing the King to send me in her place, then this is her plan B. "

Kalan shifted in his chair. ,, There is another possibility. My father told me last night that he will have an early start this morning to ensemble a team of his best five. What if she is trying to trick you to believe you are going with Nahla when in fact you are going in her place. "

Amara's eyes widened at the realization. ,, I think you are right. She also said that you were going. The truth is I want to go. I have been having problems with Claude..." she confessed.

Keilan frowned. ,, What problems?" he inquired.

,, I will tell you, but you have to promise me not to tell anyone, and most of all don't do anything that might put you or your family in danger. " she begged.

,, Amara, I promise you. You are starting to worry me!"

,, He has been abusing me since I turned 14. And he is looking forward to my 20th birthday...." she said and swallowed hard.

Kalan turned red with anger. He got up from his chair and smashed his fist into the library causing it to break and all books came down on the floor. ,, I knew he was a womanizer and that he liked young fairies, but this is beyond anyone's imagination. How dare he?" Keilan yelled.

,, Please, calm down!!" Amara begged. , I shouldn't have told you!" She started crying and shaking. Keilan rushed to her side and took her hands in his. ,, I am sorry! Don't cry, please! I will help you stay away from him until we figure this out."

,, Thank you. I am sorry to put this on your shoulders, but you are the only person in this realm who cares about me. " Amara said and hugged him tightly. She felt like the world had stopped in that embrace.

,, Your birthday is tomorrow. Go to the palace and pack some things. Since you are going with your sister to the human realm, you have to train at the camp with the other warriors. You are forbidden to leave or receive visitors. I think that will keep the King away. Even if he does visit he wouldn't dare do something. Send word to your mother that you are taking her up on her offer." he commanded.

Amara nodded and rushed back to the castle. As she was packing, she informed Roa of her situation. Her maid agreed with Kalan's plan and told her that she will inform the Queen. It was probably the last time she would see Roa. She was always nice to Amara and she was grateful for her support. Amara heard footsteps nearing her door and all she could do was throw her bag under her bed and grab a book to pretend that she was reading. The door opened only to reveal the King.

,, Amara, we need to talk." he said. Amara noticed he wasn't his usual self.

,, Your Majesty." she said and bowed her head.

,, You will be joining your sister in her journey. I will be honest with you. If she goes by herself she will not retrieve the token. That is bad for us on so many levels. You are leaving in the morning for the training camp." Amara nodded. She didn't want to tell him she was leaving now out of sheer fear. He got dangerously close to her. Amara's heart was pounding against her chest and she started to panic. Claude smirked at her reaction.

,, Come here!" he commanded. Amara was so scared that she froze. Seeing that she was panicking, he came to her. He stroked her face and told her that it was time. Amara started crying.

,, Don't cry...you can't give me a blowjo* if you are crying. Or can you?" he said laughing and grabbed her by her hair making her kneel. He unzipped his pants releasing his massive coc*. Amara felt sick as he slapped her over the face with it.

,, You are going to like this, little Princess." he said as he pushed his coc* inside her mouth. She was struggling and trying to scream, but he was more powerful than she was. He stopped for a second and slapped Amara over the face with the back of his palm. ,, Don't make this worse for you. Suck!" It was a nightmare that would never end. It didn't take long for Claude to cu*. He was overjoyed and kissed Amara on the forehead before letting her fall to the floor.

,, You are fantastic. We will have so much fun together when you return, especially when you will accept me and stop this stupid struggle. Oh, how you will you moan with pleasure my dear!" he told her. Amara curled up on the floor and started crying. She heard him go into the bathroom and turn on the water. Then he came back for Amara. He ripped her clothes off and placed her in the tub. ,, Wash yourself and then get some sleep, you have an early start tomorrow." he commanded and then took off leaving Amara a mess. After a couple of hours in which the shower washed away her pain and his smell, she got out, dried herself with a towel, and left for the military camp. She was now more than ever determined to leave this realm to be as far away as possible from Claude. It was sheer luck that he didn't push for more.
