It was a beautiful spring morning, the day when the wild adventure started. It begun when an equally as beautiful princess, stared out of the window, sighing sadly to see the kids playing in the grass, the bunnies bouncing around happily, and the sun shining above them all. If - if only she was a bunny, or a little peasant kid. If only she could be as free and happy as they were. But she couldn't. She was stuck, locked up in a luxurious palace, where luxury was the only thing that mattered.

"Princess Blaze," the deep voice of her father, the King, called. "A fine young man has come to seek your hand in marriage."

Blaze sighed and obeyed her father, and went out of her room, and into the palace hall.

The man wishing to court her, was a brilliant blue hedgehog, known as the "blue blur" around the kingdom. It was said he came from a far-away land named Mobias, but Blaze couldn't believe all she heard.

He grinned cheesily, flashing all his teeth at her. "At your service, your Highness," he said. "How beautiful you look, when -"

"Tell this lunatic to get out of the palace. I have no time for flattery," Blaze said, running out of the hall and back into her room.

The guards took the hedgehog away, as she ordered, but the King was furious. "Princess, thou are yet 14 years of age. The time has come for thee to marry, and settle -"

Blaze interrupted him, "Father, I don't wish to be married! Even to the King of that far-away land. What I want is to be free...like - like -" She shot a look out of the window. "Like a peasant child."

The King rose in fury. "Guards! Kill those peasant children in the courtyard! I won't have this kind of behaviour from you, daughter!" he shouted.

Blaze's eyes glittered with fury. "You may be my father! You may be the King! But what right do you have to rule over my life? And what right does that give you to murder innocent children?"

The King's eyes glittered the same way as his daughter's did. "Now -"

But he was interrupted by the Queen, who, drawn by the commotion, came in and asked, "What's all this?"

"Your daughter wishes to be as a peasant child!" the King shouted at his wife, completely losing his mind.

"Silly girl. Thou art a Princess, and a Princess you shall remain forever," she said. She slipped her hand in the King's, and together, they left the room.

"I know," Blaze whispered, staring at the beautiful sunset sky. "Forever..."

ooo

But that very night, the scheming mind of the Princess was already hatching an escape plan.

And what's more, it was carried out in action.

Blaze crept out of her room, and into the hallway. It was dark, as no one was awake this time of the night.

She sneaked behind a pillar, for safety. Peaking out to see there was nothing there, she slowly made her way to the next. All clear.

Then, she heard two voices. The voices of the guards! What if they were coming her way? Blaze held her breath and made a dash for the huge creaky doors, before escaping the palace succeedingly. But the truth was, they were checking her bedroom, after the noises they had heard.

ooo

Blaze felt like she could jump and touch the stars. She felt like she flying past the stars and planets on angel wings. She just felt - incredibly happy! But she realized, her escape was not finished. There was much more to that. For she may have escaped the palace, but she still had to escape the castle grounds!

It was harder than she thought. Soon, torches were lit, and her parents, warned. Even though she had left un-noticed, the guards found her room empty. They stammered their words fearfully to the King, and prepared for their heads to be chopped off.

But as soon as informed, the King and Queen forgot about everything else (even though their clothes, hair and appearance was in a sorry state) they leapt up to find her.

"King Pyrros! Queen Adena! There are footsteps this way!" a clever sharp-witted guard cried out at the top of his voice, as he observed the dusty ground before him.

Blaze bit her lip. The hunt was on, and if she didn't make a move soon, she would be found. She dashed to the nearest wall, before slipping into the darkness un-seen.

ooo

It was like a dream come true! Blaze's heart melted, as she saw the trees and hills in front of her, with the signs of dawn. It was all so amazing, it took her breath away.

ooo

Blaze had gotten a great deal farther from the castle than she expected Mobias was. It was morning, and Blaze was so tired she could faint.

But out of the blue, a funny looking hedgehog jumped in front of her. They crashed into each other, but apart from being temporally stunned, were't hurt.

"Ugh..." Blaze groaned.

The hedgehog covered his mouth guiltily. "Oh my gosh! I'm sorry!" he apologized.

"It's okay..." Blaze replied. "But stay out of my way! I'm on the run here! I don't need any funny-looking kid like you wasting my time."

"Funny looking, huh?" the white hedgehog asked. "Huh! Coming from a princess who hasn't even seen a bear yet."

Blaze's heart beat fast. "How do you know a Princess?" she asked.

"Nothing - saw that escape you made there. Pretty awesome for someone like you," he replied, coolly.

"You're not gonna hand me in, are you?" Blaze asked. She threatened to kill him if he'd dare do such a thing.

"Ugh, relax. Why would I want to do that?" the hedgehog asked.

"I don't trust you," Blaze said.

"You don't have to," the hedgehog winked. "I'm Silver. The Hedgehog. And you are?"

"Blaze the cat," Blaze said. "I'm a runaway. Come on, if you want to talk, at least talk while we're walking. I have to get out of here."

"Why? I mean - what's the matter?" Silver asked.

"Well, duh, I don't want to be caught," Blaze replied.

Silver nodded. "I know just the place."

"You do?" Blaze asked.

Silver just led her to the middle of a forest. Not a dark mysterious one, but rather, a bright-lit friendly one. Home to the bunnies.
