Robin's POV
I was walking the the cobbled streets of Ombra my flaming red hair put up into a pony-tail. My forest green dress that was knee hight was not allowed here in Ombra but scince my father is the Laughing prince what did it matter. I was given amunity.
The dress was formfitting and the shade of forest green was beutiful. The greeness of the dress went well with my milky brown eyes.
It was midday the sun parking itself high above my head. I was taking a walk. Escaping from the life of pamperment. The walk that I took once a day was like a wake up call telling my brain I could do anything for myself and better then the sevents who constantly wipe my ass.
They don't really wipe my ass but they do everything from feeding me to bathing me and it makes me feel as if I am not good enought to take care of myself and have to lean on them like a crutch.
I walked out of the gate into and out of Ombra and onto a wide dirt path. The light yet annoying stomp of my high heels were getting on my nerves. In my small brown potatoe bag I pulled out a pair of black leather shoes.
The shoes were nothing fancy like my father's that have all kinds of gold smashed into places just to make the expensive look even better. Even if they did look expensive it did not mean they were suportive or had good looks. Just means they looked like something that did not come come out of a beggers coin purse.
My black leather shoes were a different story. They were made in a small cobblers shop, fitted to my foot and my foot only. Even if they did not have the gold they were expensive but also good walking shoes that don't hurt my feet.
I put my white heels into the potatoe bag and went off the little path a ways to a tree. At the base of the tree was a hollowed out hole in which I put my high heels in when ever I go on a walk.
I returned to the deserted path. By day no one was on the path or off of it. Night was different. At night all kinds of people were on and off the path. They weren't nescesarily good people. More like thiefs, killers, drunk men, rapists and sometimes some of Capricorns men.
The Adderhead died a long time ago and Capricorn was put in his place. I didn't realized with the passing of tree's and bushes that time was passing too so when the sun started setting I realized I had no idea were I was.
The rolling hills around me stared at me like giant mocking eyes.
I thought of what my father told me.
"Do not...... I repeat do not stay out after dark! There are many bad things out there who prey on pretty girls like you!"
"How old do you think I am? Two? I am 17 and I can take care of myself!" I screamed
I now understood what he ment. I could hear a group of men walking towards me. I looked around for somewere to hide but all there was, was grass.
I decided it was proably dark enought to just walk on by them and they wouldn't realize I was a girl, or that I was the princess. It was risky, but it would have to do.
The sun sunk below the horrizon. I was so close to them I could make out thier forms in the night. Then one of them lit a torch. They kept on walking towards me. All heads were faced towards the one with the torch.
They were talking and laughing. Inocent enough men, besides the knifes strapped in thier belts. When I was not 3 feet away from them they looked up and broad grins streatched across thier faces as they elbowed each other.
I put my head down and kept walking. When I got past them a flood a relief came through me and I almost skipped away..........................almost but when I looked back thier torch was out. I could not see thier figures. I couldn't even see the ground.
I could hear hushed voices a few feet behind me and I broke into a run. I dashed as fast as I could. I could hear thier thunderous beat of feet stomping on the ground as loud as my thudding heart.
They were quickly gaining on me as I blindly ran. I soon felt an iron hand grab at my arm and pull me back. I stumbled backwards and fell right into the arms of one of the men.
The footsteps stopped and one of the men lit the torch. The flame burst into light and I could see all of thier faces betraying shock as they stared at thier captive.
"Holy shit it is the fucking princess of Ombra!" one of them men said
"Fenoglio really did make some fucking pretty girls here." another one said
"To bad he can't make anymore." said the one in front of me
They all started laughing. I looked at them puzzeled.
One of them looked down at me and said "Inside joke sweatheart." his voice sent chills up my spine, not to mention his breath smelt of peppermint.
The man behind me was still firmly holding my arm. I tried pulling my arm out of his grasp but you can imagine what that looks like. Imagine a giant having it's huge hands on a glass man.
I looked back at all the others. They were engaged in a conversation.
"I think Capricorn would really happy with her. He could hold her hostage."
"Yeah you are right Flatnose, and the Laughing Prince cares about his only daughter unlike some men who just kill them at birth cause they are not a boy."
"So we are all in agreement? Take her to Capricorn?"
The whole group agreed and I felt sick. I herd that Capricorn was 3 times worse then the Adderhead.
The man holding my arm started pulling me in the direction of the Capricorn's castle.
"Come on princess." he said while pulling me harder
"Let go of me!" I screamed while thrashing at his arm
"Princess don't be that way, we will take you to Capricorn's castle whether you make a fuss or not." said the one with the peppermint breath
I snapped my head towards him and slapped him.
He imediatly retuned the blow except it was 2 times harder. I would have fallen if it wasn't for the guy who was holding my arm.
"Damn why didn't we take some of that fuckin cloroform when we came here?" One of the men said
"Or at least some cuffs?" another agreed
"To bad we don't have rope." The one holding my arm spat while trying to tug me forward
"We have our belts, but if we take them off our pants will sag down to hell." peppermint breath said
"Can't we just whack her on the head?" a man said and I mentally thought of all the worst insults I could think off and fired them at him.
The man pulling me stopped.
"This bitch won't give up, I can lug her all the way there." The man holding me complained
They all stopped including me. It is hard to stall a man twice the size and weight of me.
"Okay I know what to do." peppermint breath said
"We tear of strips of our shirts and tie her anckles and hands and carry her there. Fuck she is so annoying, but hot." peppermint said while tearing a few strips of cloth off of his shirt.
The others did the same.
"Flatnose, Cockerel, Skarz, and Bloodhound hold her tight on the ground. I have a feeling she is not going to like this. Wringer, Skyth, Blade and I will tie her up with all the strips of cloth." peppermint said
Flatnose held tight to my arm while Cockerel grabbed my other one and they pulled me toward the grass.
My screams of protest were loud but there was no one to hear them. I tried kicking them and it worked. They were stalled but not for long. Skarz and Bloodhound came and helped pull me to the grass.
Now the problem of actually getting me on the ground. I thought it would be hard but they proved me wrong. Skarz and Bloodhound yanked my legs out from under me and lowered me onto the grass.
I was facedown on the grass and peppermint, Wringer, Blade, and Skyth came. They were all holding me down. I couldn't even move a finger.
"Let go of me! You fucking bastards!" I screamed but it did no good
Peppermint bound my hands really tight.
"Flip her, I want the knot that I am going to tie in front of her." peppermint said
They flipped me up, Blade and Skarz held my shoulders down so I didn't do a sit-up while Skyth held my ankles.
Peppermint tied my ankles. Blade picked me up and held me in his arms as they walked.
"Job well done." Skarz acknowledged peppermint
"You bet." peppermint said
"Yeah right." I huffed
After a long treck we came to the looming white fortress. The gaurds let us through and we were soon roaming the halls searching for Capricorn.
We came into a room with a chair that had a huge back. There was a fireplace 4 feet from the chair. Other chairs were around the room.
"Speak." said a stern voice from the chair
"Capricorn, Blade, Skarz, Cockerel, Flatnose, Wringer, Bloodhound, Skyth and I found the Laughing Prince's daughter Robin." peppermint said
Capricorn got up from his chair and walked arcoss the room towards us. He looked at me and pure delight spread across his face.
"Good Basta, we will have the Laughing Prince eating out of the palm of my hand." he said
He looked at me.
"Sorry Robin but you are our's." he said to me
"Put her in the room next to mine, and untie her. Don't forget to lock the door."
