Immediately, the handmaiden's spine felt a cold shiver go down its entire length as her imagination ran wild.  She was getting increasingly worried for her true friend as she would be going to his suite.  She would be entering his domain and she hoped that Dawn understood what she was doing.  She truly would be going to the belly of the beast with no protection at all.<br/><br/>Lyra's body felt like she had no weight to it as her face moved easily with his touch.  She peered over to the dark of the forest to see where he had indicated only to feel that knot in her stomach grow.  The foreboding nature of his suite was palpable as the fear of its depths wanted to escape and grasp her by her ankles.  A sudden gasp came from the little handmaiden as his teeth sank into her purest skin.  A growing red and distinctive mark was clearly shown on her alabaster skin.  Lyra felt like her little heart would jump through her throat as the fear grew into something much sweeter.  The innocent handmaiden had felt nothing like his teeth as new and strange feelings began to stir inside of her.<br/><br/>Without even saying a word, Lyra ran with all of her might.  Her lace shimmered in the night sky as she whirled past any eyes to fall upon her.  Lyra had to leave the gardens and return to the sanctity of her suite.  She had done her duty and it was now time to inform the Princess of the King's intentions.  Lyra desperately had to warn her of what would happen if she were to go willing into his clutches.
