Thread: His Promised Gift  ((freckles and Niksis))

Gun fire was ripping through the late night, echoing through the countryside where they had chosen to ambush the Princess' transport. Years of planning, bribing and spying had culminated into this single moment, revenge. Revenge for a slight Genesis had not committed, but a slight she was now going to be the main piece of the puzzle in. Drop your guns and drop to your knees. And your lives will be spared. A man said behind the multitude of armed men with their weapons drawn on Genesis and her escort. We're only here for the Princess. the man added before stepping forward, showing himself. Alex stood roughly six feet and four inches. Not overly large, yet not small either. He wore a pair of black cargo pants, black combat boots and a bulletproof vest. Though that was not what made him stand out, so did his guards. What made him stand out, was that he was the only one in the group not wearing a mask, instead opted for a pair of black sunglasses. His age was hard to pinpoint, however he looked to be in his late twenties, if not early thirties. And while wearing a heavy set of clothing, his hardened form underneath could be made out, a man at home doing physical activities. His hair jet black and swept back to his neck and his face cleanly shaven. I don't like repeating myself. Alex said, which was immediately followed by the sound of a gunshot as Alex drew his pistol and fired a single bullet into the other guard standing in front of Genesis, dropping the man to the ground instantly. Looking over at the remaining guard, Bernard, Alex smiled Good job Bernard, here's your pay. he said and threw a white envelope to Bernard. He had been closest to Genesis all these years, she knew her in and out, knew everything about her, the perfect insider. Of course, he had not come cheap, but Alex didn't care. One could not put a price on Alex's goals. He wanted Genesis, he wanted her so he could force her parents to release the land they had claimed through bloodshed and give it back to it's rightful ruler. Of course, such talks would take time and Alex would enjoy every single second of those peace talks. Once the money had been delivered and Bernard had stepped aside, one of the guards accompanying Alex moved to get a firm grip around Genesis upper arm, forcefully dragging her along and throwing her into one of their vans, before the entire ensemble left just as swiftly as they had arrived. Of course, Alex didn't join them until he had prevented any loose ends as another gunshot was heard echoing through the night, undoubtedly Bernard. Three guards sat in the back with Genesis, each eyeing the princess through their facemask as they sat there in silence during the whole drive. A trip that took the better part of the night. Eventually, the vans came to a halt and just like she had the night before, Genesis was forcefully dragged from the van and pulled along the rough gravel beneath her before she was eventually tossed into a large leather couch. They had taken her to a secret hideout far from her families lands, a place where no one would come looking for her, at least any time soon. A place where Alex could keep her while his men did their talks with her parents. And a place that Genesis was going to be spending a very long time. The room became eerily quiet as the guards left it, leaving the Princess, still with her hands tied behind her back and a black bag over her head, alone. She was kept there for some time before Alex eventually walked inside, quickly pulled the bag from her head and smiled Morning Princess.
