A/N: Here is chapter two! Eeeeep! I wanted to go a head and post this before I have to go to school Monday! It is longer than the first chapter, and I hope it is just as good as the first. I am going to have two POV's in each chapter, and they will go 1. James 2. Kendall. I might add some different ones as the story progesses, but for now that is how it will be. I hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I own my cat if that counts for anything?


"Did you know that Saudi Arabia has the largest sand desert on earth?" Logan asked one of the street vendors working the early morning shift.

"Umm… no?" the big man behind the stand said scratching his balding head. You could tell he wasn't one of the shiniest gold pieces in the treasure chest…

"Yes, it is! Isn't that just incredible?" Logan babbled on as I quickly snatched a hand full of figs and slid them into my burlap sack.

"I-I guess…" the man's mouth hung open in confusion and you could tell he was missing multiple teeth.

"Time to go Logie. We have to go to that thing…"

"Oh, yes you are right! Maybe we could talk some other time?" he looked back over to the still confused man, "See you later!"

As we walked away I had to keep fits of laughter in my throat. I could see out of the corner of my eye that Logan was smiling to himself. Today had been a pretty decent day for the both of us. I smooth talked one of the vendors that has a crush on me into giving me a loaf of bread, and Logan just confused that man enough for me to take some figs. I hate stealing food to be honest, but if we want to eat and not starve, then I will do whatever it takes.

A loud crash came from behind us, and both of our heads snapped back to see what was going on. My eyes settled on a fire breather coughing up smoke as a wagon toppled over in the road. I turned my head back to in front of me, and all of a sudden I was sitting on my butt. I looked over to Logan and he was sitting beside me with the same confused expression that was on my face. After the dust settled I found the reason why I fell flat on my butt. Two boys sat in front of us, and they didn't look to please.

"Watch where you're going!" Logan hissed from beside me as all four of us started to stand up.

"Sorry, we weren't paying attention…" the blonde boy in front of me said as he rubbed the back of his neck.

It was as if the world had stopped in that one moment. The blonde boy standing in front of me captured my attention, and there was a possibility that I was never getting it back. The way his light green eyes boarded into mine, it took my breath away. I could faintly see his cheeks redden as he noticed I was staring back at him, and he moved his eyes to look down at the ground. I was saddened by his action, but I was still entranced by the abnormally pale boy.

"I-it's ok." I stuttered out.

"What are you talking about James? We need to teach these boys a lesson." Logan pounded his fists together. For some reason he thought we were some kind of street thugs, and he wanted to pick a fight with everyone…

"Calm down Sparky. No harm, no foul?" I asked the other boys as I rested a hand on Logan's shoulder.

"Right." The dark skin boy nodded his head.

Logan was silently growling beside me, and I knew that if he even tried to attack one of these boys that he would probably end up hurting himself. He was the smartest guy I have ever met, but he was also probably one of the weakest.

The blonde shifted awkwardly on his feet and the tan one just stood there with a goofy smile on his face. It was odd that I had never seen them before…

"Are you two new around here?"

"No, he's th-" the blonde firmly clamped his hand over the tan one's mouth and smiled at me, a dimple standing out on his left cheek.

"He's not, but I am… Just moved here."

"Oh… well do you need someone to show you around?" I asked smiling back.

"Umm… sure."

Logan grabbed my shoulder and held up his pointer finger to the two boys, signaling that he needed to talk to me for a second.

"What do you think you are doing?" he hissed at me under his breath.

"I'm being nice?"

"I don't think this is a good idea… I mean did you see that blonde one? When do you see a pale, blonde boy in the desert?"

"Maybe because he isn't from around here like he said?"

"Do whatever you want, but I am going to go try and get us more food."

"Ok. I'll see you back at home?"

"Sure."

We turned back around and the two boys were engrossed in their own conversation. I cleared my throat and both heads snapped up and looked at me.

"Well, Logan here has to go and pilfer for food, but I can take you around and show you the sights." I flashed a smile at the blonde and his face reddened.

"Can I go with him?" the tan boy smiled at Logan.

"Umm… I don't think that would be th-"

"Sure you can!" I interrupted Logan and he glared at me.

"I'll see you later?" the tan one asked the blonde.

"S-sure…"

Logan stopped off with the tan boy walking happily behind him. Logan is going to kill me when I get home… Oh well, I get to spend some time with him.

"I didn't catch your name…"

"I-it's Kendall."


What the hell am I doing? Carlos was supposed to stay with me the whole time to make sure that no harm came to the crown prince, but he ditched me for that rude, raven-haired boy. I could be beheaded by some random street thug at any second! But then again ever since we left the palace no one has recognized me in my 'peasant clothes'. And to be honest, I don't think this James character would let any harm come to me.

Since the moment that the dust settled between us after I knocked him down, I haven't really taken my eyes off of him. It's like when I look away my eyes automatically snap back to his beautiful tan face. I've never seen anyone like him in my life. His chestnut color hair was a few shades darker than his skin, which made his hazel eyes shine even brighter than they should. Even though he was a peasant boy, he was the most beautiful person I had ever met. I couldn't help but to smile at all of his corny jokes and I can't keep my face from flushing red every time he smiles at me. I'm not supposed to like people like him. I've been told from the day that I was born, I was to marry one of the neighboring princesses, but none of them have held my attention like this boy.

"… and that is Freight, the city guard. I'm pretty sure he has a secret bounty out for my head…" He didn't have to tell me who the big guard was, because I saw the man on a daily basis. I can't risk Freight recognizing me.

"Umm… Why don't you show me somewhere else…"

"Well, I've already taken you around town. There's not much more to see…"

"Why don't you show me your place?" I asked tugging on his wrist, walking away from the huge guard.

"Really?"

"Sure!"

James smiled at me, and I felt my heart flutter. How is he able to do that? He pulled my hand from his wrist and held it tightly in his.

"Then let's go."

We walked hand in hand across town and made our way to a shabby building. Walking through the front door, you could tell it was abandoned by the fact that there was not one person in a fifteen feet radius. Pulling me up a flight of stairs, I could see him smiling from ear to ear, and I couldn't help but to smile too. Walking down a hallway we ended up in front of a door, and we walked into a room with two mats laying on the floor and a small pile of food sitting in the corner.

"Home sweet home." James chuckled to himself as he walked over to one of the mats and sat down, patting the space beside him.

"It's very… nice." I said as I sat beside him.

"Yeah, it's a dump, but one day we will live in a better place."

"Oh really?"

"Yup. We are going to live in a palace one day, and we are going to be living large!"

"You think that a palace is all it's cracked up to be?"

"Heck yeah! Having servants, never having to lift a finger, all the food you can eat. It will be way better than this dump!"

"Sure, but it will feel like you are trapped inside…"

"Surprisingly, I am ok with that!"

"You won't be after about sixteen years."

He gave me a confused look and I realized I had said a little too much. He opened his mouth to question me, but before the words left his mouth, my lips were on his. I wasn't planning it or anything, it just kind of happened to stop his from any questioning. It actually felt good… He lips skillfully moved under mine, and his tongue swiped across my bottom lip, begging for entrance. Slightly parting my lips, his tongue quickly slid in and started roaming around. I moaned loudly and I could faintly hear a chuckle bubble out of his throat. After he touched every crevasse in my mouth, he playfully pushed my tongue with his and we started fighting over dominance.

Laying me back on the mat, his wet appendage won over mine and he smiled into the kiss. His hand made its way under my shirt and his thumb started rubbing circles on my hip. Soon his hands moved lower, and lower…

"Carlos! For the last time, it's not really stealing!"

James quickly detached his lips from mine, and we both looked up to find Logan and Carlos staring at us, wide-eyed.

"Umm… What are you two doing?" Carlos asked cocking his head to the side.

"N-nothing…" James shifted off of me and we both stood up, trying to straighten our wrinkled clothes.

"Really? Because it looked like you were about to get into blondie's pants." Logan snickered.

My face turned beat red and Carlos raised an eyebrow at me. I shyly smiled and he shook his head at me with a small smile on his lips.

"Well, enough of this awkward tension," Logan broke the silence, "Carlos helped me get a watermelon!"

"I didn't help you steal that watermelon!"

"Oh yes you did. He's a natural!"

Carlos' cheeks pinked and a smile graced his lips as the raven-haired boy went on about how he was a wonderful thief. Hmmm… looks like little Carlos has a crush, I'll have to question him later…

"Who's ready to eat?" Logan's voice rang out as he placed the watermelon on the floor.

As we dug in, there was a loud crash from downstairs. James cursed under his breath and both he and Logan quickly got up and started throwing all of the food and the mats into a closet, and then motioned me and Carlos to follow them. Soon we were all cramped into the tiny closet as a familiar deep voice filled the room on the other side of the door. Crap…

"You check over there, I'll check over here." Loud footsteps got closer and closer to the door we were hiding behind, and I silently prayed that he wouldn't open the door.

The door suddenly swung open, and all of us practically flew out and landed flat on the floor. James' elbow painfully landed on my back, and Carlos' foot somehow hit me in the head before we were all lifted two feet off the ground.

"Look what we got here… two street rats and their little mates! What are we to do with you?" Freight's voice bellowed out.

"Put us down hyena-face!" James spat into the guard's face. Not such a good idea…

"You little-"

"Freight, by order of the Prince, I command you to put us down!" Freight looked at me and his face fell.

"P-Prince Kendall?"

"Prince?" James' voice went two pitches higher.

"Yes, now I command you to put us down." Freight lowered us and he fell to his knees before me.

"I am so sorry Prince Kendall… I didn't know it was you."

"Leave."

"I can't do that…"

"Why not?"

"I have orders from Gustavo to bring them to the palace. They are to be imprisoned in there."

My face paled as I looked over at James, his mouth hanging slightly open. This can't be happening…


A/N: Yeah, so I try to make each POV even, but as you can tell Kendall's is always longer:)
And I'm not sure if I want to add a Genie and what not, so please tell me what you would like to see!

Review and make me a happy, happy girl? :)
