Chapter eight

Chris began to walk into the corridors and Xander followed obediently, the Prince was surprised because the raven haired male already knew his way around the castle despite only being there for less than a few hours.

The raven haired male walked down the hallways in the east wing, his stature was a bit small but he looked lethal. Xander had a first hand experience when he got knocked out with the hilt of the boy's dagger.

Thankfully there was only a small bruise instead of it bleeding.

"What's going on? Can you please explain to me what's happening?" Xander gained enough courage to ask and he almost tripped a few times at that. Chris looked over his shoulder and noticed the smaller almost tripping and he chuckled in mock.

"Instead of worrying about big matters, you might want to worry about keeping your two feet steady on the ground first." The raven turned forward again and the Prince scoffed and looked down at the ground again.

They were quiet again for a while as they continued to walk a bit, the Prince for once just thought of nothing and remained blank for a while until his mouth itched to talk again.

"Y-you don't think he's going to r-rape me, do you?" Xander suddenly asked and this caused for Chris to stop dead in his tracks.

"Rape you? Why would he do that?" The boy looked over his shoulder again, his expression seemed confused as hell but in the most subtle way possible.

"Well.. He did tell you to prepare me for bed."

"Technically... He said Belle and no... I doubt he wants to rape you." The raven haired continued to walk and the Prince trailed behind him.

"Who's Belle?"

The raven haired stopped in front of a large golden door in which the Prince recognized as the guest room.

"Why don't you find out yourself?" The male smirked before he pushed the door open in order to allow the small boy to catch a glimpse of the occupant within and once Xander did... He just wanted to throw himself off the balcony.

It was the redhead chick that wanted to rip his head off, she was sitting by the mirror and once she spotted the two males, she smiled at the raven haired but as soon as she looked at Xander..

Her smile turned into a scowl, it almost had the Prince recoiling.

"What the hell is he doing here?" She spat venom as the two males walked into the room, she stood up and stood her ground.

"Amos wants you to prepare and pretty him up for bed." Chris smirked at the woman, clearly basking in her annoyance. The red head instantly scoffed and she looked really pissed off.

Xander wanted to face palm at the idiocy of Amos. What the fuck was he thinking?

"Calm down sis, it's Amos. Just do as he says. We owe him that much."

Sister??? These two are siblings? Who would have thought?

Xander darted his eyes between the two siblings on a mission to find some similarity. Maybe there was... In terms of the eyes and lips but that was it.

The Prince noticed how the girl visibly relaxed and nodded sweetly when Amos was mentioned. Did she like him?

"Anyway goodnight! I'm out!" The raven showed a peace sign before he walked out of the room, leaving the two alone.

Belle instantly gave him a dirty look.

Xander instantly didn't like the bitch as soon as he laid eyes on her so with a lot of courage, he stared back at her. Even though she had a strong aura, he still didn't care. Belle scoffed once again before she disappeared into the walk-in-closet in her room.

The Prince instantly relaxed when she was gone and he allowed himself to calm down for a few seconds. Xander rubbed his head and at that very moment, he thought of Christian and he instantly began to miss his brother very much.

He felt himself tear up. He thanked the gods that his big brother was still alive otherwise he wouldn't have any more reason to live and he probably would have begged Amos to kill him.

If there was one thing he was grateful for is that Christian wasn't stuck with these crazy people. Xander had been stuck in though for about ten minutes before the red haired woman came walking out of her closet, a piece of clothing in her hand.

Despite his situation, Xander admired the color. It was a pearl color but he had no idea what it was.

The red head threw the piece of clothing toward the boy and Xander just managed to catch it before he looked up at the woman with a questioning look.

"Go on and put it on." She halfheartedly gestured toward the closet before she walked away with a pissed look.

Xander just obeyed and went into the closet and began to remove his clothes, his pajamas were discarded and his robe was tossed aside before he lifted the piece of clothing up to further investigate and he nearly screamed when he noticed it was a women's nightgown.

One that reached just below mid thigh with spaghetti straps and silken material.

_Fuck my life._

-

Xander walked out of the closet with a blush on his face as he tried to pull the material further down his cream thighs in order to hide more skin but it was stubborn.

Belle looked up and she boredly raked her eyes over him before she dismissed him as if she wasn't impressed. The Prince dubbed her jealous before he sat down in front of the mirror where she had gestured him too.

"I have no idea why Amos had to keep you alive." she says out of the blue as she began to dig around her satchel, pulling out creams and sprays. Xander ignored her before he looked at himself in the mirror, despite everything, he looked fine.

His skin still looked healthy and rejuvenating, a natural red to his cheeks and lips and his big eyes still held sparkle despite all the crap going on.

Suddenly Xander flinched when he felt something rake through his hair and then his hair was yanked, making him grunt.

Belle had his hair snagged between her fingers with gritted teeth,

"I honestly don't fucking see why he had to make you Queen."

She glared at the boy through the mirror, her lips near his ear and he shivered in disgust, he slapped her hand away from his hair and almost growled.

"Listen, just fucking get your job done and let me get the fuck out of here." Xander swore, he couldn't believe his own mouth. He was never so vulgar before.

She gave him one last disgusted look before she began to comb his hair to one side, raking the brush surprisingly gentle through his hair, making sure it was neatly placed on his head.

She played with his sandy hair for a while, playing around with it to choose the perfect style and eventually she settled with a slightly messy hairstyle. Xander's hair sat in elegant waves on his head.

She then disappeared again and Xander stared at himself in the mirror, he couldn't help but like the hairstyle and he would have made her his personal hairstylist if she wasn't such a bitch and if they weren't in such a predicament.

Belle came back holding a pink see-through bottle that held some glittery liquid and she stood in front of the Prince, she began to slowly spray it onto his neck and torso lightly.

Surprisingly it felt good, after she did it, he felt fresh, as if he had just had a bath. The smell was absolutely exquisite. Further inspection and he found the smell to be pomegranate.

"Done. Go to him, he's waiting."

Her tone was filled with envy and jealousy and Xander rolled his eyes.

Once the little Prince opens the door, he sees Chris waiting for him outside and once the raven took note of his presence, his eyes widened as he took the little Prince in.

Xander felt his cheeks blush in embarrassment and anger. He then decided to stare back at Chris, with the intention of making the latter feel uncomfortable too.

It seemed to work because the boy blinked awkwardly and began to lead the way.

That's what I thought.
