8 Lady Caroline

He was going around asking men and women about witches and if they seen any in town. If he didn't like the answer he rips out a part of their limp, mostly their head because it seemed to bring him joy seeing a decapitated body lying in his presence. People in the kingdom knew he was a mad man when it came to people he claimed as p.a.w.ns.

His parents would tell him to stop with the killings but it only makes him want to kill more people. Charles isn't a bad person deep down inside, he was just going through hard times that reflects his past and present. Therefore he carries much stress on his shoulders, though he is a prince that still has things to do. Signing doc.u.ments, going to b.a.l.l.s/events, giving people punishment, attending council meetings once a month. When queens and kings don't agree with something that usually means that its war . He lost someone who was dear to him tressured her with all his love and satisfaction, that when she died it brought him nothing but pain in his heart.

As long as Nicole didn't see his b.l.o.o.d.y work there wasn't a problem. People wasn't afraid to tell him that as he knew he was sick in the head "literally". Even Charles family said that he was sick up in the head, he goes back to his normal self when he gets enough blood in his system. Its like a personality disorder, your sweet and caring the next your violent to others people in your surroundings. Those were considered theories that rangers from Charles killing his lover to taking hia fathers personality 'Hate'.

It didn't stop him from achieving his goal, he was going to find a way to break this spell and set Nicole free from her deep slumber. All he see now is a cute shorter version of her having the heart, mind, an soul of a toddler. He was thinking about throwing her a tea party for the little kids in the garden so she wouldn't be so lonely in the palace, he grins to himself as he looked down at his pocket watch realizing it was midnight he ends up walking back home.

Once he got home he headed up the stairs to see if Nicole was okay. He opens the door to see her talking to Jasper. "Welcome back Charles, Nicole wanted to give you a special gift. Isn't that right Nicole?" Jasper looked at her with a sweet smile placing a flower behind his ear.

Nicole blushed deeply as she nodded, She gets up from out of her bed walking over to Charles with something behind her back he kneels to her. "Close your eye Charles! It's a surprised! " she said with excitement as he closed his eyes reaching his hands towards her. He felt a paper and something furry in his hands.

"Open them!!" he opens his eyes to see a sloppy drawing of him, Jasper and her holding hands and her teddy bear as a gift for the ring. Charles grabbed her hand as he kissed it.

"Thank you my dear I have something special for tomorrow you will really enjoy it. I promise you it'll be something you'll never forget."

Nicole squealed in excitement jumping up and down with joy as Jasper gave her a radiant smile. "I shall start preparations Prince Charles" he said as he pulled out a notebook and pencil.

Nicole ran over to Jasper as he grabbed her waist and placed her down on his lap talking sweetly. Charles gave waved at her indecating that he was leaving. Nicole got herself off of Jasper lap as she runs over to Charles giving him a bear hug.

"Why don't we hang out today Charles!"

"I don't see why not" he pat her head as they left the room. Nicole extends her hands to him indecating she wanted to be picked up by him. Charles looked at her as he picked her up holding her gift in his right hand and his left hand around her waist. Nicole slowly started to fall asleep in his arm, snuggling herself in his chest. Jasper started to write in the notebook narrowing his eyes getting jealous that Charles was getting her attention whenever he arrived at in her room he thought it was tiresome.

He must say he did find her quite adorable. When she's back to normal she'll forget everything that happened. He gave sad expression at his thought. Prince Charles truly loves this person, other's may think he is just using her for personal gain. After all he is the next air to throne, he needs a princess to call queen. Seems like he already found one ; a ordinary girl.

Charles went back to his room letting her sleep in for the day, He places hia hand on her forehead making sure she didn't catch a cold while she was in the cold palace . He wasn't much of a sleeper, all he could think about doing is reading most of the time . Laying her on the bed as he sat beside her covering her body with a blanket. He kissed her forehead wis.h.i.+ng her a goodnight as he reads his book.

The next day Nicole felt a warm body against her, as she looked up she saw Charles asleep cuddling with her. Jasper knocked on the door an opened it to find him all cozy up against her ; he got jealous at the sight Charles he knew to keep his composure around his prince it would reflect badly on him to be upset. Charles slowly sits up groaning at the sight of Jasper's presence.

Nicole stomach growl as she looked down slightly rubbing her stomach.

" You must be starved little one let one of the maids take you to the dining room. There will breakfast served once you get into the dining hall, the maids will show you the way. For now I have to talk to Prince Charles for a little bit. Will you be okay by yourself?" Nicole nodded as she got out of bed and headed out the door.

"Now then lets get to bussiness Jasper. " Charles spoke as his eyes turned red.

Jasper bowed rolling up his sleeves on his dress s.h.i.+rt "Yes Milord at your service"

The maids walked Nicole to the dining room, she seen lots of people with fancy gowns and suits on it must have been guest that was staying the palace for a short period of time. She started to walk towards the people grabbing a plate from one of the servants, looking around to see what type of breakfast they were serving. She was suddenly pushed down as her plate drops on the ground shattering it on the hard silk floor. Nicole fell to her knees picking up the pieces of gla.s.s with her hands cutting herseld all together, She felt a sharp pain in her neck seeing the women that pushed chocking the life out of her.

"Disgusting, how are you guest at the palace, what is a human doing in the dining area just because the your guest doesn't mean you can be in the same area as us.Prince Charles is a fool if he thinks you can eat here with the pure bloods. Disgusting rat you should know that your people and kind aren't welcome here." she screamed at her leaving Nicole feeling scared as she started to tremble, the women lets her go causing Nicole to cough violently.

People laughed at her that caused her a trigger to scream covering her ears wanting it stop. The women that pushed her walked up to her and gave her a powerful slap to her face, flying into air as she hits the wall leaving her unconscious. Charles walked inside the room to see what the commotion was as Jasper followed right behind him. People gasp and immediately turned there heads eating food. Jasper ran over to Nicole shouting her name as Charles glanced over seeing a bruise on Nicole's cheek and her head on the floor as bleed begins to seep out from her nose. Nicole looked at the ring as she thought to herself " I thought this was suppose to keep me safe...why did you lie to me Charles.." eventually she closed her eyes letting the blood seep from her head due to a fracture skull.

Charles looked over to the crowd of people starring at him scared of what he might do them. Tears of blood dripped down his face as he's eyes turned red. Claws began to form on his fingers . His hair turned white as Snow . People didn't know when he gets really upset, his true self comes out.

" I will strip you from your t.i.tle...an make you all work for me as my peasants." he said but he wasn't finished yet. "You people have no shame a guest is a guest yet you treated her like a slave , my servants dogs will never be hungry when I put you in my cells as their dinner. I'll my parents to seek to your punishment. Better yet you should be burned your behavior. Everyone else can leave but you Lash Caroline will stay." Charles was finished letting out his emotions, the people in the dining area left as quickly as the can giving him sincere apologies that Charles could care less for. Lady Caroline left out a gasp as Charles pulled her hair making her scream in pain.

" I'm a.s.suming she won't be able to attend the tea party we set up for her." Jasper said with pain in his voice as he looked down at Nicole as he wrapped her head around with a cloth.

Charles could only look away at the scene that is being taken place as his tears streamed down his face. Making him tighten his grip on her hair as he walks away as she follows behind him.

Once Charles left the room Hasper notcied that the blood that escaped from Nicole's body was sucking itself back into her womb causing her to cough opening her eyes to see Jasper holding her. Her little mind had thought of him as her knight in s.h.i.+ning armor her prince charming that had come to her rescue so many times she didnt know how to thank him.

Jasper carried her leaving the dining room as she rubs her head softly.

"I wouldn't recommend touching your head its still sore. When you go back to normal I promise to protect you for the rest of my days. For Now I want you to pretend to be sick, I know you don't like lying but this is the only way I can spend some time with you."

"Alright I'll do it, I'll put my acting in to use."

"Good I'm sure your good at it."
