Ouch!)

He parked the car and hopped out looking onto the beach, he sat down and fiddled with the sand. "I love the beach, such a pretty place" he smiled and looked at the children playing in the water.

It's fine now. Just coating it with stuff so it doesn't hurt as bad )

-

Annika got out and sat beside Chris, her eyes in the crashing waves. "Yeah, it is really pretty" she looked down at his hand then at the sand. Her fingers dug into the white sand, creating a smiley face

Chris smiled towards Annika and grabbed a small handful of sand. He gently brought it up towards her hair and let go of it. Freaking out, he ran down the beach, laughing as he went. He turned back towards Annika and gazed at her for awhile, the beach behind her made her look perfect. He quickly looked away and she was coming closer.

Annika wiped the smiley face out of the sand. When sand fell from the sky, she shrieked. "Chris!!!" She wiped the sand out of her hair, shaking her head and letting her long red hair blow a little. She chased Chris down the beach until he stopped and looked at her. She giggled, talking him into sand. "Don't do that again, Highness. I can behead you!" She joked, taking her hand and gently karate chopping his neck. She flopped onto her side beside Chris, laughing.

Chris laughed and fiddled with the sand in his hands. "So, i know we havent talked about it much but we really need to. What are your thoughts on all this, the wedding?" He didnt wanna ask, not when they were starting to get use to eachother but the arranged wedding was coming closer and closer and he couldnt brush it away anymore.

"I don't really want to worry about that right now..." Annika glanced away, her eyes finding the shore line and focusing on it. She brushed her fingers through her hair, the slight wind picking up strands and blowing them around. She leaned back in her elbows and looked at Chris. He wasn't half as bad as she thought he was when they first met, but she still wasn't too sure about him yet.

Chris sighed and looked out onto the waves. - Now i've ruined everything- he slowly stood up, "We might need to start heading back in, it's getting dark, but we'll definetly have to come back here soon and to swim" he smiled towards Annika and began to pick his way back up to the car.

(Could I add a little drama? Pm me)

-

Annika smiled a little. "Yeah, swim" she absentmindedly followed him to the car, getting in and staring out the window. "I'm going to check on Shout when we get back. I bet he misses me"

Oo yeah)

-

Chris started up the car and guided it back towards home, "Mother is going to be so upset" he laughed. He reached into the phone holder and brought out his phone, it already had 5 miss-calls and a dozen messages. "Yep i'm screwed" he sighed and put the phone back down focusing on the road.

Annika gave a weak giggle, glancing at his phone before looking back at the road. "Father won't be too happy with me, but he barely speaks to me as it is" she gulped. +you said too much, Annika! Get a grip!+ she aheunk in her seat, watching the trees fly by. When they got to the palace, she got out, heading straight toward the barns. Shout gave a nicker when he heard her coming down the aisle. Annika began petting her beloved horse, her face breaking into a bright smile. Just as she was about to let herself into the stall, a large hand grabbed Annika over the mouth, pulling her away, a strip of fabric covering her eyes in a split second. Shout gave out a loud whinny, his hooves stomping against the door and the floor. Annika tried to scream but her attempts were muffled by the hand. Something hit her head and she blacked out.
Annika woke up, her head throbbing. She looked around the dark room. She tried to move, but she was tied down, every movement painful. Ropes attached her ankles and wrists to a chair. "Help!" She mumbled through the tape over her mouth. +oh someone please help me!+
