¨SEARCH EVERYWHERE IN THIS VILLAGE FOR PRINCESS ELIZABETH,¨ Nicoel ordered.
Around 9 guards were in front of him,listening to every word he said. ¨GOT IT!¨ Nicoel asked, expecting only one answer, yes.
¨Yes,¨ all the guards answered and they all walked to the village.
Nicoel started walking after them. ¨Where is she,¨ Nicoel thought as he continued walking to the village.
. . .
Elizabeth climbed up a food tent again and began jumping. Every few seconds she would look down to check if Jack was still spotting her. The nearer they got to the castle, the less people there were. Soon the crowd was almost completely gone. Elizabeth looked down once more, Jack had his hand up, opened. Elizabeth grabbed his hand and Jack helped her down. Elizabeth and Jack started walking to the castle holding hands, until Elizabeth heard a familiar voice saying, ¨ Have you seen a teenage girl with beautiful, blond, braided hair and blue eyes?”
“Nicoel !?” She thought.
Elizabeth clenched Jack´s hand harder. “Follow my lead,” Elizabeth whispered to Jack.
“why,” Jack asked but got interrupted by Elizabeth,”Just do it!”
Elizabeth put her disguise on again, then pulled Jack with her as she ran. Elizabeth hid behind a tent with Jack by her side. “Those were the guards of the castle,”she tried catching her breath as she talked, “ They probably noticed I was missing so they went after me”
“Wait, wait you snuck out!?”Jack asked, confused, thinking that she was aloud outside whenever she wanted.
“Yes, you dimwit! Now I need to get back to the castle quickly”.
“I know a shortcut,” Jack announced.
“You do, good, tell me,” Elizabeth begged.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
“Hm?” Jack looked confused for a little, “Oh you thought I was gonna show you the shortcut?”
“Why else would you tell me that then?” Elizabeth protests.
“To get hopes up, and looks like I did,” Jack smirked, “I´ll show you the shortcut for one thing”.
“What's that?”
“Money”
…
“Where is she,” Nicoel groaned, “I looked everywhere!”
Nicoel looked around wondering then walked over to an armor tent. “Ooh my good sir, that is perfect armor,¨ the lady at the tent said in awe.
¨Thanks,¨ Nicoel started, ¨ Would you happen to know a teenage girl with long, braided, blond hair and blue eyes?”.
“Nope,” the lady responded.
“Thanks for the help”.
. . .
¨MONEY!?¨ Elizabeth asked angrily
“I want 50 gold at least,¨ Jack said hopefully.
Elizabeth stared at Jack for a bit when she heard Nicoels voice coming closer. ¨Fine!¨
Elizabeth dug in her bag a bit then gave Jack 50 gold. Jack smiled then grabbed Elizabeth´s hand, leading her to the shortcut.
Buildings past by as Elizabeth ran to catch up with Jack. She noted that this boy was fast, he must have lived on the streets for a while. Elizabeth had her eyes locked on him, watching him running straight forward. Suddenly Jack turned a corner and Elizabeth made herself run faster. Once she made it to the corner she turned just like him. ¨WAIT WHAT!¨ she shrieked right before she was about to run into a wall.
Elizabeth stopped quickly. “This is a dead end…. but I saw Jack go this way,” she thought.
Elizabeth stared at the wall for a bit looking confused. She looked around for a secret passageway. Elizabeth leaned against the wall to think, but suddenly she fell backwards. She forced herself up, moaning at the pain on the back of her head and her back. Elizabeth sat up finally and looked at her feet, or what should have been her feet.
Elizabeth’s legs reached to a wall but her feet weren’t there. She started getting up, as she noticed that her feet were coming out of the wall. When she was up she looked around. She was in a dark room with an open door on the opposite side of the room from her. Elizabeth stared at the door for a bit, seeing light on the other side. But the door was the least of Elizabeth’s concerns, that wall that she just went through was.
. . .
Jack stared at Elizabeth a bit as they ran but quickly got his attention back on the shortcut. He ran trying not to be too fast, hoping that Elizabeth wasn’t too far behind. Jack took a turn at a corner and ran to a wall. Once Jack got to the wall, he kept running at it. He ran through the wall into a dark room with a door at the end of the room.
Jack walked to the door and opened it. Jack walked into the room, light entering his vision.
