Win or lose

Prince Garfield, a seventeen old boy with blond hair and sea blue eyes. He was the prince of France the son of king Mark Logan and Queen Marie Logan. They were known to be good, loyal and the best rulers in all of France.

But that was only what they had heard… From the rich parts of their rule.

"I'm sorry mother, but none of these princesses interest me." Garfield said as about the ninth princess walked out. He was wearing a long green jacket with with black pants.

"Garfield please, you need to marry soon so you can take over the kingdom." Marie said, she was wearing a long pink dress with golden details.

"Yes son, you are turning 18 in two months. I hate to tell you this, but if you don't choose a princess by that time we will have to do it for you." Mark said as he came into the room.

Garfield didn't say anything, he had to think. Something he didn't like or do much, but anyway. He walked to his room staring at the ground with his hands in his pockets. He knew all too well who his parents would choose, princess Terra.

She was the princess of the neighbour kingdom Markovia. He and Terra had been friends for a while, but that was all Garfield saw them as, friends. While she wanted more.

"No…" Garfield muttered, he didn't want to marry Terra, he didn't like Terra that way. Garfield reached his room and sat down by his window. His room was big, with a huge blue sky bed. The walls were white and the floor made of marble. He had a few dark oak furniture around the room. A desk, a closet, a nightstand and not much more. A few scrolls and valuable items were placed around the room.

"What if I just…" Garfield opened the window and looked towards the city. He shook his head. "If I do I need to change first." He went over to the closet and took out a white shirt with leather pants. It was his riding outfit, but it looked common enough.

He quickly got dressed and jumped out the window, he got to the roof underneath. His room wasn't far from the stable, he jumped down behind a guard surprising him. He jumped. "Gha! Your highness, what are you doing out here so late?" He asked.

"I just wanted to go for a ride." Garfield walked up to his horse. Beast. The horse was huge and brown with white spots on his hooves and head, the horse was rare as he had green eyes.

"If you wish to your highness." The guard walked down the path to the doors.

Garfield put only the saddle on as he needed to attract as less attention as possible. He got onto Beast and quickly and rode out the gates before the guards could see him out of the gates.

He rode into the city, it was nighttime so not many were out on the time. He rode down the road as quiet as possible as he didn't want to wake anyone in the hoses. He rounded a corner just in time to see a person dropping a knife from guard's throat.

The person looked at a bag, that they threw in the air before catching it, like trying to figure out how much it was.

The person with the knife, wore a white hood, the hood covered their face and went around their body like a cloak, but he saw enough of their feature. Brown leather pants and a loose white shirt, like him. The person had a brown corset and belt with a different set of weapons.

"Hey!" Garfield yelled, the hooded person turned their head, they grabbed the small bag and jumped. He saw the hooded person run on the edge of a building away from him. Garfield jumped off his horse next to the guard. "You okay?" He asked.

"Your highness! I am terrible sorry!" The guard yelled. "Please don't fire me!"

"I'm not going to fire you, it happens to the best of us." Garfield smiled as he helped the guard up. "You okay?"

"Yes, that assassin has been a trouble since a few months ago." He said.

"Assassin?"

"Yes, she kills and steals. She's really known, we're unsure whenever she's a real assassin or just a thief." The guard bent down and looked at his leg. "Don't worry, I'll go back to the guard post and get someone else to take my post." He started to walk away.

Garfield watched the man round the corner before he turned to where he saw the assassin run off to. He narrowed his eyes before riding Beast after her.

Garfield ended up at the edge of the city, he looked around to see if any clues were visible. No, nothing.

"NO! Please do not hurt him! Here take out money!" Garfield heard, he rode a little closer. He ended up stumbling up the assassin again, this time they held a sword to the face of a male he knew. Richard, Garfield's childhood friend. Kori his girlfriend threw a bag of money to the assassin. She dropped a unconscious Richard to the ground.

Garfield rode up to them, he was close to grabbing the person's hood when they jumped onto the roof again. He managed to to pull off their hood, he saw half their face as the person wore a scarf that hid their nose, mouth and neck. He saw it was a girl as she had long purple hair set up in a ponytail with a few streaks of hair that framed her face.

He shook his head as the girl pulled up her hoodie before leaping over the edge of the building and into the river next to them. When she flew by him he noticed purple eyes that stared deadly at him.

He shook his head. "Kori? Richard? Are you okay?" He asked as he jumped off his horse. Richard was just gaining conscious when he looked around.

"What happened?" He asked.

"That stupid Raven!" Kori yelled. "She stole our money again!"

"Grr…! Next time I see her!" He clenched his fists in anger.

"What happened? Who was she?" Garfield asked.

"Prince Garfield please, we apologise for not noticing you before." Kori said quickly.

"No it's fine Kori, your friends." Garfield smiled.

"Very well friend…" Kori smiled.

"Anyway, what happened?" Garfield asked as he helped Richard to his feet.

"Raven attacked us again. She's been on rampage since last week." Richard said as he rubbed his head. "She has been stealing from us the middle class, and killing the high class."

Garfield growled. "Why haven't I heard about this?" He asked himself as he looked down at the ground.

"Because she's never been caught or nobody knows where she lives or anything." Kori said.

"Hmm…" Garfield started to think. "What if we were to catch her…"

"The bounty is high on her, if and this is a big IF, she were to be caught the city would become much more peaceful and quiet." Richard said.

"Come, Richard you're injured." Garfield sat back down on his horse and helped Richard and Kori up. He quickly rode back to the castle to get Richard help.

Garfield rode Richard and Kori to their home to make sure Raven didn't attack them again. He was lucky to get them home, but not lucky enough to avoid her. She jumped from the roof and attacked a wealthy man. He wasn't fast enough to stop her as she stabbed the man in the neck and stole his money.

She looked at him as he tried to jump at her, but she was fast. It was like she teleported away from his attack. He landed on the ground with a loud thump.

Raven walked up to him and lifted him by his hair.

"What's the matter your highness?" She mocked. "You can't catch the uncatchable." With that she teleported away again.
