Rejected prince

chapter 3

Eight years later.

"Wrong,wrong you are doing it the wrong way again, don't look at the arrow ,look at what you want it to go ,and relax your hands" Malik said standing behind me.

I could feel his hot breath in my ears.He had grown to be more handsome than when he was a kid.

His green eyes were mesmerizing,he had a perfect shaped roman and thick eyebrows.his short black silky hair that cove his forehead,made him more hands.

I was perfect in everything but the only thing that I didn't get it right after practice for seven years was arrow shooting,I suck at it.

"Malik I can't do it ,am tried of practicing" I said annoying after missing the aim again.

" Go again, this time focus on your aim and relax your hands" he said holding my chin and hand.

"relax " he whispered in my ears.

my heart was beating very fast and each time he come this near I always lose control of myself.

He held my hand pulled it behind and we released the arrow ,this time it was a correct am.

" you see that was not had you need to practice more" he said smiling.

"are you staying in the palace to night!" I asked ,since we started training my mother allowed him and Alice to be staying in the palace,and they would sleep here any time they wanted.

" Do you want me " I nodded.

"You are having nightmares again " he was worried and concerned.i just nodded .

"Since when did they start again" "It has been a week now" I said ,I haven't had a good sleep for a wake now.

he was really angry and he shouting at me" and why didn't you tell me"

"I don't want to be a burden " "how many time have I told you,you are not a burden to me"he said hugging me.

"it's okay I will stay tonight" he said give me an Assurant smile.

"Thank you Malik"

The sky was dark and there was no star in the sky.I was sleepless and I decided to take a walk in the palace.

As I walked along the hall way something cough my attention and I walked towards the prince room.

when I come near it I heard him screaming "please don't kill me" I waked in ready to attack anyone.

when I went in found him rolling on both sides of the bed " please don't kill me , please don't kill my mother kill me instead and let her go" he was trembling and crying the dream seem so real.he was frighten and scared.

I walked over him and tried to wake him up but I didn't manage."Prince wake up ,wake up please" I tried shacking him ,I slapped him on the face but still he didn't wake up.

He turned around and hugged me,I hugged him back and after sometimes he calmed down and he slept still hugging me.

From that day I was always there to take care of him.

sometimes he will sneak into my room.and slip into my bed.

"hey are you okay " I asked him,he was trembling.he was shaking and all sweaty.

"it's okay,just breathe ,you are safe with me" I said to him hugged him.

"what was it this time" he was silent and he started crying.

He keep crying and I didn't know what to say to make ."if you continue crying my whole shirt will be full of your tears " I said to him,he just nodded and sat down.

From that day Everytime he had nightmares he would come to me. we become very close.

"hey baby ,how are you " queen Shashi walked to where we were smiling.She was dressed in a royal blue gown that had a golden embroidery on the neck.she looked beautiful and her eyebrows were well shared ,she had a blue eyeshadow that made her round big eyes popped.

I run into my mother arms and embrased her.

"am fine mother ,what's brings you here? I asked while resting my head on hear chest.

"Because I miss you I barely sees you this days" she said stroking my hair.

"Mother" "good afternoon your highness"Malik greatest the queen bowing his head.

"How are you son" she asked smiling.

"am fine and you?' I said to her walking closer to where she was standing ,prince Lucky still on her embrese.

"It has been long, since you come to the house? "

"I have been quite busy with the practice, especially with prince Lucky,he still need more practice in arrow shooting" I Malik said to her.

"come on son,saw me your perfect shot?" the queen said to lucky, gesturing Malik to hand her the arrow and the bow.

"Mother you can't be serious" lucky said smiling.

"You go first " she said with a raised brow.

Malik stood there smiling,and curiously wanting to know how good the queen was ,he had hear stories about her being perfect and she never misses her target.

Lucky trow his first arrow and he missed the target.

"prince are you sure you still want to challenge the queen?" Malik whispered in my ears.

"I can do this " he said mockingly.I winked at him and step back,to watch him making a fool of himself.

"Your turn your highness"I said smiling to the queen.

"son you give another shot" she said getting ready.

Lucky still missed but this time it was much closer then the first one.

The queen arrow never missed the target .

"Mother how can you be that fast and perfect" prince asked with a hit of sadness in his voice.

"how do you this protect your father each time were get attack." she said smiling .

"mother can you even hold a sword " he said .

"try me"she said challenging him.

"right now" he asked surprisingly.

Malik was shock and his mouth was half open .

"mother let set the challenge tomorrow,I give you time prepared so when I defet you won't say I was not fair" the prince said smiling.
