Chapter 1

Jack Christian Shephard was a prince. His father, Christian Shephard was a king and his mother Margo Shephard was a queen.

Although Jack was caring for his people and tried to feed the hungry his mother and father did not. They where disappointed in Jack and his way of living and the way he treated the peasants. Jack's parents also wanted him to get married; they had tried many times to get him to marry Princess Ana Lucia, who, unfortunately, was mysteriously murdered. Then his parents had found him another bride. Her name was Juliet, she was pretty and nice and waiting for Jack in the grand hall. Jack how ever had told her and his parents he needed fresh air, and went out side the huge castle into one of the court yards.

Jack sat behind a huge oak tree, his feet dangling into the water. Sometimes he hated being a prince. People tended to worship him and he didn't want that. He wanted to help people. To get married, rule the kingdom and help people. But he didn't want to get married to just anybody. He wanted to find a special girl. He had been introduced to many princesses, all who had been selfish and spoiled. There were many girls who worked in the kingdom he could marry and peasants in the small town next to it. If Jack was to marry a peasant or worker he'd be laughed out of the castle. Jack closed his eyes and sighed.

Suddenly, he heard humming. Jack sat up straight and opened his eyes. Across from the peaceful river was a young woman plucking flowers. Jack stood up. "Hey, you!" Jack called. The girl looked up and her eyes widened. She gathered herself up and brushed the dirt of off her brown dress.

"Your, highness." She curtseyed. Jack started at her. She was wearing a brown dress. It came down to her ankles and she wore no shoes. She had brown curly hair up in a messy bun and was very skinny. She was holding a basket with wildflowers in it.

"What are you doing?" Jack demanded.

"I was picking flowers for my mom's birthday, your highness." She told him politely.

"On royal land?"

"The river is the boundary, your highness." She informed him. Jack thought for a moment. She was right, peasants where not aloud to cross over the river.

"What's your name?"

"Kate Austen, daughter of Sam and Diana Austen." She told him. Jack nodded.

"Um…well…ok…" Jack said rubbing the back of his neck. Kate smiled at him and he couldn't help but smile back.

"Jack?" Margo called approaching him. She looked at Kate who curtseyed quickly. She turned back to Jack. "What are you doing? Talking to a peasant?" She said fury in her voice.

Jack glanced at Kate, she looked hurt. "She's very nice, mum." Jack told his mother.

"I don't care, Jack. She's dirt. Juliet is waiting for you! How would she feel if she found out you where out here having relations with dirt!" Margo asked furiously.

"She's not dirt, mum!" Jack stood up for Kate. He glanced at Kate; she looked shocked and hurt at the same time. "Stop treating people like this. I do not like Juliet. Maybe I want to marry Kate!" Jack surprised himself. Margo's face went ghost pale. Jack looked at Kate who looked just as surprised. He looked back at his mom whose face had suddenly gone tomato red.

"I will have none of that, Jack! Get into the palace and go entertain Juliet!" Margo ordered but kept her voice calm. A lady must never raise her voice to loud or strain her throat. She turned to Kate who was still shocked. "And you, peasant, leave the castle grounds!" Kate curtseyed.

"Yes, you highness…" Kate said politely.

"Mom, she's not even on castle grounds." Jack told his mom and Kate smiled.

"I rule the land!" She snapped. She turned to Jack. "Never speak to her again! Go into the castle! I never want to see this dirt again!" She turned to Kate again but she was gone.

Later that evening Jack was sitting in his room, bent over a book, his maid tending the fire and tiding up. Jack was close friends with her, her name was Sun. He looked up from the book and watched her. She looked up and smiled at her.

"If its not to bold of me to say, your highness, but I heard Queen Margo caught you taking to a peasant this afternoon." She told him. Jack looked down and smiled at the memory of Kate.

"I talk to peasants all the time, Sun." He told her. Sun had a secret smile on when he looked back up at her. Sun glanced at him knowingly and looked back down.

"Ah, that maybe so, Prince, but you where supposed to be meeting the lovely Juliet." Sun pointed out. Jack chuckled. Sun paused her dusting. "What was her name?" She asked. Jack glanced up.

"What makes you think I got a name?" He asked suspiciously. Sun shrugged.

"Good night, your highness." She curtseyed before shutting the door, leaving Jack alone.

Jack rolled over and pulled the covers up over his head and shut his eyes. He to let sleep take him but it wouldn't. Jack sighed angrily.

After a few hours his thoughts drifted to Kate and Juliet. Juliet it beautiful…He thought. But she's so selfish and doesn't really respect me…Kate's very beautiful…what? JACK! You can't think like that! Jack scolded himself. She seemed nice. But she sure was shocked when I said I was going to marry her…maybe I should apologize…yes, tomorrow I'm riding through the town…that stupid ball invitation…I don't want to go to a ball! I hate them…I'll apologize to Kate then…
