Chapter 1

(Shirayuki P.O.V)

The castle feels empty and alone without Zen it been a week since Zen was Missing. Kiki and Mitsuhide went out to find him four days ago but they did not come back yet. I was sitting in our room and looking out of the window. Zen and I are married for five months now and I'm pregnant with his child. I did not have a chance to tell him that he is going to be a father. King Izana knows about it and told me that I need guard everywhere I go. Obi has not been here since Zen went missing.

"Princess Shirayuki, dinner is ready." said maid. I stood up and walked out of my room and down the hallway followed by a guard. I walked to the dinner and King Izana was sitting at the end of the table waiting for me. I sit down next to him. I did not say a word to him. "The guard is looking for Zen right now. I will bring him back before the baby is born." Izana said, looking at me. I nod my head and took a bite out of my food. I can't just sit here and just wait. I going to left the castle tonight and find Zen and the other.

After I got done eating I walked back to my room and open the door. I pull out a bag and put some clothes in a bag and medicine also in the bag. I grabbed my hood and put it on. I cover my bright red hair. and put the strap over my shoulder and open the window. I jump down and landed on the ground not making a noise. I run over to the wall of the castle and starting to climb the vines on the wall. After I got to the top and jump down. I walked to the village to get a horse and a sword to protect myself. I don't know how to use a sword but I can learn.

"Man, this walked to the village is very long," I said to myself. I stop for a minute to take a break because my legs were starting hurting. I looked up at the sky and the sun is setting over the mountain. It is getting dark and it was time to call it night but I was not ready to go to sleep out here in the forest. I stood up and starting to walk again to the village and rest there. After a while, I finally got to the village. I knock on the first house I saw. When the door open and man answer the door. He his not look very nice.

"What do you want?" Asked the man in a very harsh tone. I looked at the man and asked if I can stay here for the night. He just laughs and slams the door in my face. I walked down to the next house and asked the same question but they did the something. I saw a horse stable that is not too far away from me. I walked over to the stable and took off my bag to use as a pillow. I laid down and close my eyes to get some rest before the guard from the castle come and looking for me.

The next morning I woke up before the rooster crowed. I grab my bag and walked out of the stable and down the street. I need to get out of this village as so as possible. I saw a man with a horse. "excuse me, sir." I call out to him, walking up. The man turns around and looked at me.

"What can I do for you young lady?" he asked, with a smile.

"Can I borrow your horse?" I answer with a question.

"May I asked, what do you need my horse for?" He asked. I start to explain about Zen and the others are missing and I'm going out to look for them. "Oh, I see you may borrow my horse." He said with a smile on his face.

"Thank you," I said with a bow. He hands me the rope and walked away. I got on the horse and took off away from the village. I ride the horse for a while. I then saw an apple tree. I got off the horse and tire the rope on a branch so the horse didn't run away. I went up to the tree and pick some apple. I put five or six in my bag and I give one to the horse. "There you go," I said, petting the horse while he is eating the apple in my hand. I untie the rope and gets back on. "The next village is not that far from here. We should get there before it gets dark." I said, looking at the map. I grab before I left the castle. "Let's go." I kicking the side of the horse and ride off.

After a while, it was getting dark. I was almost to the village when I saw the light up. I find a horse stable and put my horse in the for the night. I walked over to an inn and went in and saw a lady at the front desk. "Hello, may I help you?" She asked, looking at me. I walked up to the desk and asked her if she has any room open. "Yes, I do." She said, hand me a key to the door.

"Thank you," I said, walking up the stairs and down the hallway until I come to my room. I open the door and turn on the light. I put my bag down on a table. Then I sat down and put out some new clothes because I was going to take a bath when I'm here. I grab a towel and walked to the bathroom. I got in the water and clean myself after I got down I wash my dirty clothes and hung them up until it gets dry. I laid down on my bed and fell asleep.

The next day...

I walked over to a shop to see if they have any sword that I can use. I went into a store and looked around. In this store, there are weapons all over the store. I saw a mid-age man sitting behind the desk working on making more weapons to sell. I went up to the desk. "Excuse me, sir," I said calling out to him. He turned around and looked at me.

"Yes, may I help you?" He asked, standing up and walked over to the desk.

"I'm looking for a sword," I answer, looking at him. He looked at me and shake his head.

"I don't think the sword will work for you. You look like you used a bow more than a sword." He said, walking around the desk and put out a bow and arrows. He walked back over to me and hand me the bow and arrow. I took them from him. "This will suit you a lot better than a sword."

"Thank you," I said, put the strap of the arrows over my shoulder.

"You are welcome. Come back again." He said, watching me walk out of the store. I went to the stable and getting my horse ready to head out. I get on my horse and left the village. "Where is Zen and the others?" I asked, myself, looking around the forest but have not seen anyone in the forest. Just then I feel a raindrop hitting my hand. I looked up at the sky and saw the rain starting to rain harder. "Let's go and find a dry place to stay until the rain stop," I said, kicking the horse to run faster. I got out of the forest I saw a cave and went over to the cave to dry off.

See you in the next chapter...
