This is a WillxCaleb fanfic
In the kingdom of Drúadan there lived a girl. She hated her life because her whole life was a lie. She was the princess of Drúadan. She was 17 years old and she had never stepped foot outside the palace walls. Her mother and step-father had told her that it was t dangerous to venture outside. And even if they ever did consider letting her outside the walls she would have so many guards around her that she would have more freedom in the palace walls. Her name was Wilhelmina Vandom she hated her full first name but she didn't complain. She was the ideal princess she had dead straight elbow length crimson red shinny hair. She had tallish and skinny. She had curves in all the right places and she had a radiant chest that boys drooled over. She had chestnut / pinkie colour eyes. In one word she was Beautiful. But no matter how much she looked and acted like the perfect princess she really wasn't. She dreamt of adventure and the world outside the palace walls but she knew the only way she was ever going to get it is it she ran away and she just couldn't do that to her parents.
It was early morning around 6:30 am. Wilhelmina was all ready up and getting ready for the day ahead. She walked out of her huge bathroom wearing a fluffy white town rapped around her perfect body. She made her way over to her huge walk in closet and threw the doors open walking in through all the beautiful radiant dresses that hung on clothes hangers. She found one of her favourite dresses. And carefully slid it off the hanger. She found matching shoes and then turn and walked out of her closet and went and laid her clothes on her king size bed.
10 minuets later Wilhelmina was standing in front of her full body mirror examining the dress. She was wearing a boob tube cut dress that showed of a generous amount of cleavage. The dress was tight around the top half and the bottom half fell perfectly down around her. Bits of the bottom half of the dress were pulled up and collected in a diamond studded flower that sat on the right side (On her hip). On the upper half starting just under her breasts and finishing at her hips the fabric was rapped diagonally around her also finishing at the diamond studded flower. The dress came down to the floor but on the right side you could see her shoes because of the fabric that had been pulled up. She had high heal sandal like shoes that had straps that rapped around her perfect legs finishing about 5 inch's below her knees. The dress itself was a dark hot pink her shoes were the same color. Her hair was pulled up in a bun with her hair pulled over the back of the bun and hanging down about 3 inches past her shoulders. Bits of hair were falling out of the bun and around her face. She had black eye liner and mascara on and shinny lip gloss.
She blinked a few times at how much she actually pulled off the perfect princess look. Sighing to herself she turned and walked out of her room. She walked through the empty hallways knowing that the only people that would be up at this time of morning would be the maids and servants. She made her way towards the ball room. Walking through the large double oak doors she walked over the dance floor and climbed up onto the stage and slowly went to the large shimmering black piano. She placed her right hand on it and traced her fingers over its surface while looking at her reflection in its surface. She slid herself onto the long stool and traced her fingers on the keys.
She started to play and slowly she started to sing.
"Do you see me Don't get a word in
Do you care
You talk about me
Like I'm not there
When you're around
I bet you don't know
What I'm about
Cos I will, I will
Speak for myself
What you see
Isn't all I am
I need a place to stand
I will, I will speak for myself
There's so much you're missing
If you cared you'd listen
You suffocate me
You drown me out
I'm tired of waiting
Without a doubt
I feel I'm fading
I flicker out
My heart is screaming
Without a sound
Cos I will, I will
Speak for myself
What you see
Isn't all I am
I need a place to stand
I will, I will speak for myself
There's so much you're missing
If you cared you'd listen
I'm not sorry for who I am
Take it or leave it
It's my time to take a stand
Throw it or keep it
Know that I don't need to understand
Won't say it again
(I will)
(I will)
(I will)
(I will)
You know I will
Cos I will, I will
Speak for myself
What you see
Isn't all I am
I need a place to stand
I will, you know I will
I will speak for myself
There's so much you're missing
If you cared you'd listen
If you cared you'd listen
I will, I will
Speak for myself"
Just as she finished the last sentence the ball room doors burst open. Wilhelmina flung her head around to come face to face with her mother walking swiftly towards her. Queen Susan's face was set in a frown. Wilhelmina quickly but gracefully slid off the stool and walked down the stairs off the stage.
"Wilhelmina what are you doing in here? did you forget that we are having guests today?" Queen Susan said in a stern voice
"Sorry mother it slipped my mind" Wilhelmina said curtsying and then standing back up to face her mother. Her mother was tall and slim with a perfect figure just like Wilhelmina's he had wavy dark blue hair. She was wearing a elegant gold gown that had all sorts of patterns on it. She had matching gold earrings and bracelets.
"Well your father and our guests are waiting for us in the grand hall" Queen Susan said turning and walking off towards the doors Wilhelmina sighed and followed her even though she would rather stay with the piano.
The two walked in silence towards the grand hall once there Wilhelmina was shocked to see who there guests were. Queen Karmilla Olsen and King Mark Olsen, the king and queen of the kingdom of Aitkin. Wilhelmina had only ever seen them a few times before but never actually met them but she knew that their kingdom Drúadan the kingdom of Aitkin had a strong alliance. Queen Susan went and took a seat next to her husband opposite their guests. (I didnt know the names of Matt's parents so i made them up ok)"It is a pleasure to finally meet you Princess Wilhelmina" King Mark said tilting his head in her direction.
"The pleasure is mine King Mark" Wilhelmina said curtsying and then curtsying to his wife. She then went and took her seat next to her mother.
"Well all the preparations have been made for your trip to Aitkin and the wedding preparations are being finished off as we speak" Queen Karmilla said looking at Queen Susan
"That is wonderfull" Queen Susan smiled. Wilhelmina listened on to the conversation completely confused
'Wedding?... What wedding?' Wilhelmina thought
"Well now I actually have a question for you Wilhelmina" King Mark said turning to face her.
"Yes" Wilhelmina said
"I was wondering if the singing that we heard only minutes ago was you?" King Mark asked
"Yes it was" Wilhelmina said blushing slightly
"You see Mark here loves his music seeing as our son is obsessed with music, and we were wondering if you could sing for us?" Queen Karmilla said asked with a loving smile
"Of cause" Wilhelmina said standing up and walking so she was standing in front of the small group
"Broken heart one more time
Pick yourself up, why even cry
Broken pieces in your hands
Wonder how you'll make it whole
You know, you pray
This can't be the way
You cry, you say
Something's gotta change
And mend this porcelain heart of mine
Someone said "A broken heart
Would sting at first then make you stronger"
You wonder why this pain remains
Were hearts made whole just to break
You know, you pray
This can't be the way
You cry, you say
Something's gotta change
And mend this porcelain heart of mine
Creator only You take brokenness
And create it into beauty once again
You know, you pray
This can't be the way
You cry, you say
Something's gotta change
And mend this porcelain heart of mine
Please mend this porcelain heart of mine
Of Mine, Creator mend this heart"
Wilhelmina finished her song and then curtsied
"That was beautiful" Queen Karmilla said
"Yes, I cant wait to hear more of your voice when you come to Aitkin, and I'm sure Matthew will love your voice as well" KingMark said standing up and bowing to her.
"We should be going now its a long trip back to Aitkin" Queen Karmillasaid standing up as well and Wilhelmina's parents joined them as they walked off towards the door.
"We will see you in a week then Wilhelmina until then goodbye" Mark said waving and then they disappeared out of the door.
"Whats going on here?" Wilhelmina whispered and then started to walk after them. When she got to the front doors she saw their guests riding away in their carageandher parents were standing just in front of her.
"Mum Dad what is going on... Who's wedding are we going to? why were those people here?" Wilhelmina asked very quickly
"Wilhelmina I thought we told you" Queen Susan said
"Wilhelmina the wedding we are going to is your wedding you are to marry Prince Matthew of Aitkin" King Dean said Wilhelmina looked at him shocked
"What why wasnt I told any of this" Wilhelmina gasped
"We wanted ity to be a surprise" Queen Susan said
"A surprise" Wilhelmina said slight anger slipped through her mask "This is the worst surprise I have ever gotten"
"Well you have no say in the matter I am sorry Wilhelmina you are going to marry Prince Matthew and that is final" King Dean said
"I hate you both" Wilhelmina said tears starting to flow from her eyes and then she turned and ran in the direction of her bedroom. She could her her name beingcalled but she didn't care. She didn't care about anything anymore.
She slammed her door shut and locked it she ran over to her mirror and looked at herself.
"There's only one way" She whispered looking at her reflection. She new there was only one way to get out of this marriage and that was to run.
She ran over to her dresser and pulled draw after draw out chucking random objects on the ground as fast as possible she finally found what she had been looking for. Scissors.
She ran back over to her mirror and pulled her hair out of its bun so it fell out all around her. She then pulled it all so it was clutched in her left hand and then placed the scissors in place so when she cut her hair would be just at her shoulders. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. SNIP. She opened her eyes to see her beautiful crimson red hair falling alaround her and hitting the ground. She looked at her reflection her hair was now just above her shoulders. Her fringe was still long she took the scissors again and started to cut her hair.
When she was finished it came just above her shoulders and it was layered she had given herself a side fringe and her hair was now more defined. She was surprised at how much a simple hair cut made her lookdifferent. It wasn't a hair cut a princess was meant to have it was a hair cut that civilianshad. But that's what she had been going for and she actually liked it.
She then looked down at her clothes. She sighed if anyone got a glimpse of her wearing these kind of clothes, civilians hair cut or not they would now straight away that she was royalty. But then she remembered something.
Three years ago a girl Wilhelmina's age lived in the palace she was a maid. They had made friends, Mia was Wilhelmina's first and only friend, Wilhelmina could confined in Mia and tell her how she hated being a princess that she dreamt of going out and seeing the world. But on Wilhelmina's 15th birthday Mia was sent to live with her grandmother. She remembered that Mia had left her something she had said that she would need it if she ever wanted to see the world not as a princess.
Wilhelmina ran to her closet and started to push past all the clothes until she reached the very back of the closet. And there it was the trunk. She opened it to revel civilians clothing. It was exactly what she needed. She started to rummage through all the clothes until she found something that she really liked. She pulled off her dress and kicked off her shoes and slipped the clothes on. She then went back to her mirror and looked at the new her.
She was wearingdark brown cargo baggy pants that came just past her knees. She had the same dark brown colour sandals on and white button up top that didn't have sleeves. She had left the top two buttons undone so it revealed some cleavage. She smiled at her reflection and giggled a bit when she thought how her parents would react if they ever saw her like this. She walked towards her bathroom and started to wash her makeup off. And then she went to her room and went back to the trunk in her closet and pulled a brown rucksack out of it and started to shove the clothes into in she then went to her dresser and pulled a medium size purse out that was filled with her life saving. (ALOT) She new she would be needing this if she was going to get away from this place. She looked out her window it was still light out she knew that the guards doubled at night and the only way to get away was if she left now.
She cleaned up her room quickly making sure she didn't leave a shred of evidence that she had been here. She then walked to her window and pushed it open, thankfully this window was facing away from where most of the guards were in the day. She looked down at the ground it was a long way down. She hoisted the rucksack over her head and it hung on her back. She then swung herself out the window and she was hanging on the ledge. There was a tree under her window but it was still a long way if she was going to drop into it.
Taking a deep breathe she closed her eyes and pushed away from the ledge and fell. She opened her eyes just as was about to fall into the tree's branches. She but her bottom lip and tucked her head into her chin and wrapped her arms around her head as she made contact and fell through the branches. She grabbed onto a thick branch and swung up stopping herself from falling any further. She pulled herself up and sat on the branch.
'And to think this morning I was a well behaved princess and now I'm escaping and sitting in a tree dressed as a civilian with a matching hair cut' She thought as she started to climb her way down through the branches.
'I'm better at this than I thought I would be' She laughed in her head as she swung down the last branch so she could see if any Guards were coming. It was clear but she was still scared of getting caught. Gulping she jumped from the tree branch and hit the ground with a thud. She moved back into the shadow of the tree she looked forward towards the wall. There was nothing to hide behind or shield herself from view from here to the wall it was the home stretch. Taking a deep breathe she started to run as fast as her legs would take her. She felt like the wall wasn't getting any closer. Then she heard something. Voices. And they were coming closer and getting louder. She spun her head around to see two guards walking in her direction they weren't looking in her direction so she started to run faster and faster and then just as they looked over at where she had been she dived into the bushes that were at the foot of the wall. Taking long deep breathes she pushed a few leaves out of the way so she could see where the guards were now.
'Crap that was close' She thought as she watched them walk away out of view. She looked up at the wall and gulped it was high and there were only two ways to get onto the other side of it. One, go through the gates and that was defiantly out of the question and two, climb it.
It was the only way she would have to find a way to climb the wall if she ever wanted to get out.
'I have come to far to go back now' She thought she started to crawl through the bushes until she came to the place she was looking for. The part of the wall that was covered in vines. She was light she new that so the vines should be able to hold her. But getting the full way up without getting spotted was going to be hard and she didn't know id the vines continued to go down on the other side of the wall. But she would have to take that chance.
She peaked her head over the bushes and looked to see it anyone was coming. After seeing that no one was in this area of the palace grounds she started to climb as fast as she could. After about five minutes she reached the top. She swung herself over and was about to continue climbing but almost fell The vines that went over the wall only went about a meter and then stopped. She grabbed onto the wall for dear life pulling herself back up. She looked around frantically for a way to get down. But there was nothing there were no more vines and no trees anywhere close enough to the wall.
"Ok don't panic" She whispered. Then she heard a something. She turned her head towards the gate entrance to see a man with a horse pullinga wagon. The old man was sitting at the front of the wagon and the wagon was full of hay.
She looked up at the top of the wall it was about half a meter wide.
"O crap seriously if I pull this off then I am going to be the luckiest person alive" She whispered and then pulled herself up onto the wall so she was standing on the top and then she started to run as fast as she could. Trying not to look down because she knew what would happen if she fell. She made it to the gate just as the wagon passed through it and the gates closed and then she did what most people would call stupid. She jumped and fell towards what would either be her freedom of her death.
She felt a prickly feelingas she made contact with the hay and fell through to the bottom. She quickly made sure she was covered so the man couldn't see her and then moved towards the back of the wagon and looked out at the palace as it became smaller and smaller.
"I know you back there" A voice said and Wilhelmina cursed under her breathe. The old man new she was here.
"Don't come out you might be seen... That was pretty daring of you jumping off that wall like that" The old man said as the wagon hit a bump and Wilhelmina gasped.
"I'm sorry that I used your wagon as a get away but I had no other choice" Wilhelmina said crawling through the hay so she was at the front of the wagon she poked her head out from the hay so the old man could see her. The old man looked medium height and he was dark skinned and balled.
"It's ok but if you don't mind me asking why did you jump in my wagon.... Princess" The old man asked
"How do you know I'm the princess I don't look anything like I used to" Wilhelmina asked shocked at the man
"Don't worry I really don't recognise you from your looks but I saw you climb out that window... I saw the whole thing" He said "Were you wondering why there wasn't many guards around the full time"
"Wait..." Wilhelmina gasped "Did you destract them?" The old man just smirked and nodded his head.
"Why? Why would you help me" Wilhelmina asked
"I'm not really sure I just felt like I had to. But now are you going to answer my question?" He asked turning his head so he was looking at her
"My parents told me that I was going to be marrying so Prince from some other Kingdom and frankly I didn't like the idea of my life becoming worse than it all ready was. I hate my life I hate being a princess all I want is to be free and to travel and find adventure" Wilhelmina said
"Well I'm happy to say I think I can help you there, you see I don't live in the city of Drúadan. I live in a small town called Vardanzeh. Its about a day and a half trip from here and you are welcome to come with me. I know when someone needs help and you obviously do" The old man said
"Thankyou so much for everything you are the nicest person I have ever met" Wilhelmina said "I will pay you for your troubles of cause"
"That is very kind of you and I am happy to be able to help" He said "The names Finn"
"Thankyou Finn" Wilhelmina said "I guess I cant go by the name of Wilhelmina anymore"
"No I doubt that would work" Finn said
"How about Will, I have all ways liked that shortened version of my name" Wilhelmina said
"Will it is then" Finn chuckled "But just to make sure people don't think it to funny seeing as Will by itself is more of a boys name lets make Will a shortened form of Willow"
"I love it" Will said
"Good but a last name you cant go by Vandom anymore" Finn said "How about Willow Heart but better known as Will Heart"
"Its perfect in every way" Will said
"Good" Finn said as they started to some into Drúadan city. "Stay hidden I'll tell you when you can come out"
"Finn... Thankyou for everything I don't know what I would of done without you" Will said
