"How do I look Darya" I turned from the mirror to face Darya. "My lady you look absolutely stunning."

"Darya will you stay with me while I am at the wedding you are the only one I trust please say yes" I whispered closely to her ear.

"Always my lady I will always be there for you."

"It's time Katiya" my mother says as she enters my chambers and took me by the arm.

"My darling Katiya you look beautiful, smile" my father says as he links his arm around mine. I faked smiled as I walked down the aisle and I felt tears begin to fill my eyes. I never wanted this now I will be trapped in a loveless marriage.

Alexei and I both kneeled before the altar and as the priest was giving his blessing one of the guests yelled "OTTOMANS!". Suddenly we saw men crashing and breaking the glass of the Church as they begun to kidnap many young women including Darya.

"Katiya run"my father whispers in my ear but not before kissing the crown of my head. So I sadly left my parents and my siblings and picked up my dress as I ran as fast as my legs could carry me.

However as I was running one of the men caught me and dragged me back to the church only for me to see the dead bodies of my family. I screamed in horror at the ghastly sight that I knew would haunt me forever.

"Let me go you brutal savage" I yelled at my captives as one of the men carried me to the ship. As the man carried me I saw what once my home being burnt down and I felt helpless. When I was dumped onto the boat I spotted Darya and quickly made my way towards her.

"Where are they taking us" I asked Darya. Then one of the girls with long chestnut hair and brown eyes answered " We are being taken to Istanbul and probably going to be concubines for the royal family."

"What is your name and where did you come from?"I asked the girl.

"My name is Mihaila and I am from Bulgaria. I lived in a simple village with my mother and younger sister but then the tartars came and took me away from my family" Mihaila explained.

One of the girls who was dressed in an expensive dress spoke "I will become a sultana and will probably live the rest of my life as one" This girl was arrogant which annoyed Katiya.

"How do you know you might be a lowly slave for the rest of your life" I retorted and smirked as the girls began to giggle amongst themselves.

"I know that because my name is Lucrezia Caterina De' Bianchi and I refuse to live like a slave unlike the rest of you" she eyed us disgustingly as if we were dirty under her shoes. I felt anger towards this arrogant girl.

"I don't think you know who I am. My name is Katiya Alexandrovich and I was a Grand Duchess in  Russia" I lifted my nose to show my disgust towards her annoying attitude
