Camery Valatieri - Camery just stared at him like a deer in the headlights. "You're in my room," she muttered, as though her thoughts were spilling out of her mouth. "You're from the Night Kingdom," she breathed, not taking her mind off him for even a moment. She didn't know he was a prince - she'd hardly seen their heirs, but this was bad enough as it was. She didn't ask much more before fiddling with the latch on the door, trying to unlock it without taking her eyes off him. Her breaths became sharp and shallow for a moment, her brows pinched together as she struggled with the latch. "Are you a spy?" She hissed. He could tell her he wouldn't hurt her, or that he loved her as much as he wanted but he'd lied. Was he trying to gain information? Lure her out? She had him to protect her from people like him, and yet he was the very same person that was trying to harm her - her whole family. |

Camery Valatieri - Cam just shook her head, not taking anything he was saying in. He was a spy - he'd allowed her to fall in love with him, have a relationship with him, all the while telling her he loved her in return. She didn't care if he loved her back - she was just blinded by fury right then. She finally got the latch on the door, and opened it slowly. "You didn't promise anything," she stared at him, anger and fear coursing through her. "My boyfriend did," she snared. "My bodyguard did," she continued, her voice slowly raising louder and louder. She was furious - she'd been in so much danger this whole time. He should have been protecting her. "You need to leave, right now," she muttered, her eyes still burning into him. She'd be going to her father - go and get help as soon as she could. Jack had been dismissed, and she didn't even know what she would do if he tried anything. |

Camery Valatieri - Camery just stood there, watching him leave - angry, terrified, and completely heartbroken. She loved Malakai, her bodyguard. Not some sou that was sent to get close to her for information. She wouldn't be used like that, not ever. Once he was out of sight, though, she didn't waste a moment going to her father. He needed to know. He needed to know that they'd managed to infiltrate the castle, that they did have information. God, he'd managed to get so close to her. It was terrifying. She knocked on his door loudly, not waisting a moment on barging into her parents room and spewing everything. She was mortified. Mortified that she'd let herself get so close to him, that she'd genuinely trusted him. She felt so... used. So betrayed. Hee father, of course, was furious, but it didn't take long for him and her mother to get up and start rushing around.
Before she knew it, she was sat in the dining room, surrounded by guards and her maids, while her father was gathering everyone they knew to be allies. It all happened so fast... faster than she could have ever imagined. Her eyes started welling with tears, her whole body shaking as it hit her what had actually happened. |

Camery Valatieri - Camery sat quietly, her eyes red and her hands over her face as she at there. She felt so stupid. The one person she thought she could trust, she person the thought she knew was only there to cause her harm. He wanted to hurt her. It didn't matter if things had changed - ultimately, that was his goal. The goal of whoever he worked for. She hated him. The way he looked at her, the way he made her light up. The way his eyes peirced into her so lovingly, so affectionately. How stupid he'd made her feel. He was comfortable saying he loved her, that he wanted to protect her, and that she believed him. He'd genuinely made her believe he loved her. That he wanted to be with her. The idea of it all made her well up more than she would like, though just as she was about to burst she felt a warm pair of arms wrapping around her. She looked up to see her mother, her face just as warm as ever. Her father was off doing... something. Hopefully dealing with all this. They wouldn't be attacking, that wasn't their style. They'd be working on infultrating, though. Making sure they weren't planning something after all of this. She collaped into the womans arms, her shoulders shaking as she silently sobbed. "I thought..." she trailed off, her breath hitching as she tried to stop her sobbing. Her mother shook her head and gave her a little squeeze, sitting back and wiping her face off. "Babe, you did nothing wrong," she whispered, running a comforting hand up and down her back. "You're father is gonna go put things together to see what we can do," she added, flashing a soft smile. Camery just looked at her, still on the verge of breaking down. The older woman sighed and had her sit down, calling Jack over to take her back to her room. "Go try and rest, you look exhausted. Jack is going to be there right with you. There are guards everywhere, you'll be okay," she promised her. The woman just looked sad for her. Camery just felt so useless as of then. Though, she sighed and gave a soft nod, standing up and looking over to Jack, then her mother. "I'm sorry," she whispered softly, hugging thr woman again before following Jack back over to her room. |

Camery Valatieri - Camery settled down in her bed, her chest still aching as she stared out the window, right where he left. God, Kai, why did you have to be one of them... she thought bitterly, biting her lip as she tried to withold another wave of tears. Jack was sat in the corner, like she'd requested. Watching her, waiting to leap into aciton at any given moment. She heard the guards outside, trailing out of the castle. She stood up and wandered over, looking over the balcony as she watched them march off. She didn't know what the plan was... but the horses and armoured knights said this wasn't going to be taken lightly. Her father loved her... she knew that, and he could be rash at times. This may be one of those times. She swallowed a lump in her throat before closing the doors, hating the image of Kai leaving. She blocked everything out, trying to settle down back in bed. His after shave lingered around her bed, and that scent that should have been comforting just made her shiver. She looked up at Jack, her eyes wide. "Jack... what are they doing? "They're going over there." His voice was so sharp... she just felt worse about it all. She sighed and flopped down tiredly, eventually trying to ger some sleep. |
