Chapter 2 - Lies
Prince Wells
So, what are you doing?
Inessa
I'm getting some water from the well.
Prince Wells
Would you like some help?
Inessa
That won't be necessary.
Inessa
Beside this is a job that we do.
He stood there starting at me as I get the water.
Inessa
Is there something on my face?
Prince Wells
Huh? Oh... no.
Prince Wells
It's just... when I first saw you, your beauty captivated me.
Prince Wells
I've never seen anyone as beautiful as you.
Prince Wells
Prince Alexei and the Runa temple are so lucky to have someone like you.
I turned to get the bucket out of the well, when I felt something brushed across my face making me flinch.
It was Prince Wells hands.
Inessa
Wh... What are you doing?
Prince Wells
I want to get to know you more.
He started to get closer and more touchy. He started to touch more than my face making my whole body shiver and I dropped the bucket.
Inessa
What are you doing?
Prince Wells
I won't hurt you.
Inessa
We can't be seen like this.
Prince Wells
I'll be quick.
I suddenly felt his hand on my lower back and I let out a strange sound as tries began to flow out my eyes.
Prince Wells
Your voice is as beautiful as you.
Unknown
How dare you touch what's mine?
Prince Wells
I... I can't breathe...
Prince Wells
Wh... what's happening?...
He stopped, then I looked up to see that he was struggling to breathe.
Prince Wells
Help... Help me...
Prince Wells
Something's choking me.
Unknown
I should kill you for wanting what does not belong to you.
Prince Wells
In... Inessa... please...
Unknown
Don't you dare say her name.
Prince Wells looked as if his life was being sucked out of him.
I got on my kneels and started to pray.
Inessa
Forgive him for what he's done and let him go.
Prince Alexei
Prince Wells!
Unknown
I'll let you go for now.
Unknown
But I won't be so merciful next time.
A moment later Prince Wells fell to the ground and began to breathe again.
The voice then disappeared.
Prince Alexei
Prince Wells!
Prince Alexei
What happened here?
Prince Alexei
Prince Wells, are you alright?
Prince Wells
Something just tried to kill me.
Prince Alexei
That's absurd.
Prince Alexei
This is holy grounds.
Prince Alexei
There's no way something or someone would try to kill or harm anyone.
Prince Wells
I know what I felt.
Prince Alexei
Is this true, Inessa?
Inessa
Um... well... I don't really know what happened, but he couldn't breathe for a few moments.
Prince Alexei
So you didn't see anything?
Prince Wells
I'm not crazy.
Prince Alexei
No one said you were.
Prince Alexei
What are the two of you doing out here by the way?
Prince Alexei
Didn't you go to the restroom?
Prince Wells
I... I got lost.
Prince Wells
I was just asking Inessa for directions.
Prince Alexei
Is that true?
As he turned to me to confirm what Prince Wells said, I was hesitant to speak.
The Prince Wells looked at me fiercely, as if he wanted me to go along with his story.
Prince Alexei
I'll take Prince Wells back to the Palace.
They both headed back to the Palace.
