Lizzie's POV
Being a princess sucks hard. You have to dress a certain way ,act a certain way ,talk a certain way...it's horrible. I feel bad for thinking that way. I have a nice life I guess. People have it way worse than me, but it still sucks. You're not really free. My mum and dad are never around, and I only have two friends; buddy and Joey. Buddy is my cat. Joey is a castle guard.
"If I ever leave this place you're coming with me Buddy"I say to my cat. He's perched on the windowsill. I pick him up, and spin around in my bule and white dress. I'm not even allowed to go outside, I can only go out on official castle business! I can't even marry who I want they have to be 'noble blood'.
I'm bored like always. I flop down on my giant pastel pink bed that matches my hair. My room is messy ,even though the castle maids clean my room everyday, my room still looks like it's been hit by a tornado. I sit down at my desk and look out the window. It's a beautiful day outside. The sky is clear, kids are playing outside, the sun is shining. It really is a great day. But I can't leave. Being a princess is like being in a luxury prison! I always wanted to fly but because I'm a bloody princess I can't! I want to travel the world and see new things, but that's just a dream ,one I can never have. I sigh and pull buddy close to me. Then I hear I knock on my door. "WHO IS IT!" I yell.
"YOUR MOST FAVORITE PERSON IN THE WORLD!" Joey yells back.
"Oh come in then" I say.
Joey was my best friend, and technically my only human friend. He had taught me very basic combat once ,and He helps me sneak out whenever I want. He's a very good friend. "So how's life treating you Lizzie?" He asks leaning against the wall.
"Like crap, but that's normal," I say.
He smiles. "Sounds like a whole load of fun for you.," He says.
I roll my eyes. "You are the worst person ever!" I completely contract my statement about him being a good friend.
"How could you princess?!" He says clutching his heart.
I roll my eyes for the second time. "Because Joey that was freaking stupid," I say and roll my eyes for the third time.
"If you keep rolling you eyes they'll get stuck," Joey teases.
"Whatever joey it's just a myth," I say.
"Sure don't come crying to me when YOUR eyes get stuck," He says grinning.
I look out the window again. "Joey" I say, "Help me sneak out."
"Why?" he asks.
"Because its a nice day outside and if I'm gonna spend the rest of my life stuck in some stupid castle might as well spend the day outside, while it's still nice."
"Of course pinkie pie"
I scowl, "I hate that name Joey don't call me that!" He smiles a stupid dopey smile, "Ugh Whatever!"
"You can't sneak out in that outfit," He says.
"I know Joey, I'm not idiot"
I change into less 'royal' clothes, that Joey has brought me, and I put on a cloak to hide my hair and face. Who else in the kingdom has pink hair? After I get into my great disguise, now I have to sneak out with Joey. He puts on a cloak over his armor. No one will notice him so we're set there.
"How are we supposed to leave?" I ask.
He ties a rope to my bed post. He opens the window and drops the rest of the rope out. "That's how," He says.
The window he dropped the rope out of is pretty secluded, and there aren't a lot of guards there, but my room is also very high up, so it'll take a long time to get down said rope. So Joey went first to test the strength. "If it brakes well..." he said.
He climbs down the rope and successfully makes it to the outside, Then I climb down. "So where too bubblegum princess" Joey says
"the abandoned bell tower," I say. It's very high it'll be kinda like flying but far from it, but at least it's high up. I love heights it's weird.
We sneak our way out of the castle avoiding guards and being spotted, And then we make it into town. We get pushed around in the crowded market and I think I tripped once. Soon we made it to the outskirts off the kingdom. We were near the wall (since the outskirts are near the walls that's where all of the farmers are) and the population lessens. Now there are only farmers and I see a silhouette of people near the wall. Probably a group of explorers, they're so lucky. We finally reach the abandoned bell tower. Luckily, it's not boarded up very well, so we can easily fit between the boards that block the open entrance.
"Wow this place is a dump don't know why you'd want to come here!" Joey exclaims.
I elbow him "because I wanted too Joey the view is probably amazing!" I say.
"OWOKAY IM VERY SORRY!" He whines. We walk up the stairs in silence. We we reach the top I run
over to look at the view.
"LOOK JOEY ITS SO PRETTY" I exclaim.
"The view is really nice..." Joey deadpans. I smile and look out.
The sky is a beautiful shade of blue the sun is shining! You can even see over the wall. The trees cape is beautiful and there are so many different kinds of trees ,But then I see something coming towards the tower! It's a ball of white light.
"JO-" I try to jump out of the way, but I got hit straight in the chest. "AHHHHH GAH AH" I yell. All I see is a bright white light, Then the light fades.
Joey rushes over to me, "Lizzie are you okay?!" He says worried.
"I'm fine Joey," I say.
"I think we should go bac-OH MY NOTCH WAIT YOU'RE WEARING A WHOLE DIFFRENT OUTFIT!"
I'm really wearing a whole different outfit! I'm wearing a white spaghetti strap tank top and white shorts with a brown belt and brown hiking boots. I still have my cloak at least. I didn't notice it before but I have a white envelope with 'Lizzie' written on it, "Yeah we should go," I pocket the letter, I'll read it later.
We make our way back to the castle and make our way back. To the castle and back into my room. Luckily no body goes in my room except maids and they don't come until later. Buddy is taking a catnap on my bed as always.
"Joey I got a letter," I hold up the white letter with my name on it infront of his face.
He looks at me like I'm crazy, "WELL READ IT THEN," He yells.
"Alright sheesh," I say.
Dear Lizzie
I hope my letter finds you. I have heard about your dream for wanting to fly and be free from royal life. I have granted you with the power of air. The power is inside you and can never be taken away no matter how hard someone may try. There are others like you. You are one out of four of the basic elements; water, fire, earth, and air. The reason I gave you this power is because the land of Minecraft is dying. There is an evil man named herobrine who wants to take over Minecraft. He has powers just like you but uses them for evil purposes. Right now he has sent the taint upon your world. It has not reached your kingdom yet ,but soon it might. You and the four other girls are the only ones who can stop it. But you will need a army. First you must travel to find me ,but along the way you will have to gather an army to fight herobrine, Normal people and magical beings too. Meet the others outside the wall at nightfall. When you are all together you will get a map to be able to find me. You each have certain abilities that come with your power like how you can control all air. You also can summon a weapon. You also have a specific ability that goes with you element but is not one of your powers. I cannot tell you how to summon you weapon or find your powers, but I can tell you that this journey will not be an easy one. There will be many monsters along the way and people you must fight and win over but, you can do it. You must believe in yourself because if you don't we are all in grave danger.
P.s your outfits match the color of your power. So if you dress with the color of your power (for you air so white) your power will increase and you will be much stronger.
From The Master.
"Well I guess we're leaving tonight," Joey says.
"WHAT" I say.
"You need an army I'm the first part, I could be the general! And I could help you get supplies. And remember what the note said, none of you guys
have your powers you nee-"
"Okay Joey I get it, you get the supplies, I'll sneak out and bring emeralds for trade. Meet me at the front gates. Don't forget to bring horses Joey!" I say,
I pick up buddy and put him on my shoulder. "I'm bringing him too we leave at nightfall"
:TIME SKIP TO NIGHT:
I wrap my cloak tighter around myself as I hold buddy in my arms, and I use the same rope I used to sneak out earlier today. I felt kinda sick to my stomach, I was exited, but I was worried. I avoided guards and raced down the allyway. I wasn't looking where I was going and bumped into someone and fell on top of them. "Ohmynotch I'm sososos sorry." I say.
I get off the person and offer them a hand. They are a girl apparently, and She's a brunette with green eyes who is wearing a bule and white striped long sleeve shirt with jeans and boots. She also has a belt on and a strap going across her chest, "It's okay I wasn't payin-OHMYNOTCH! Princess Lizzie what are you doing here!" She says.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you..." I say.
"Try me I've had a very weird day," She says.
"I just learned I am the element of air," I say.
"SO AM I! I mean I'm not air but I'm water- oh my notch I'm so sorry Lizzie I forgot to introduce myself! I'm Stacy hinojosa full time bookworm/unofficial librarian," She says "it's nice to meet you."
I smile back and shake her hand. "It's nice to meet you too Stacy hinojosa full time bookworm/unofficial librarian!" I say.
She shoulders the bookbag I never knew she had, "Well we should go meet the other elementals"
"Yeah my friend Joey is also meeting us, he's
bringing supplies and horses, so things will be easier. I also brought 2,000 coins!"
I say. I also have about 100 emeralds, but I didn't tell her. Emeralds are used for very expensive trades.
"Well Stace we should get going before someone finds us" I say. I grab her hand and start running towards the ally entrance. We make it to a hole in the wall I found once. "Okay Stace you ready?" I ask
She nods. "Well then let's go we don't want to keep them waiting!" I say. We step out into the outside world. I smell the air. It smells like pine trees. Now even if I'm going on a very dangerous adventure with two people I don't even know yet and lots of un met people, but I know two things,
1) I'm going to do this and I can, no matter what.
2) I got my wish.
Well that's the first chapter edited! I tried to edit it to make it better let me know what you think and what else I can improve. This was my first story so it wasn't that good so now I'm trying to change that. Thanks for reading Bye!
