SB/Kierra: Enjoy!


The sun rose over a village and a palace that stood above it, the walls around it were high and powerful looking. Many people stared at the beautiful palace where Sultan Gordon Cahill lived with his beautiful daughter Princess Alexandra 'Alex' Cahill. Everyone in the village believes that the princess was happy and couldn't wait to be married off to a handsome Prince. But did the princess know that?

Did the villagers know what the princess even looked like? If they did they would see a beautiful teen 5'9 in height with blonde hair and eyes, she wore a blue cropped top and parachute pants and blue ballet flats. She sat at a water fountain in the garden and the look on her face was a sad one, she was not happy. She was tired of all princes' that came to try to win her heart and marry her, she was utterly bored.

Another female about the same age, who was 18 years old, walked out into the garden and looked around for the princess, she was a few inches shorter and had black hair and eyes, she wore the same outfit as the princess but hers was red in color not blue.

The princess looked up at the shorter female and sighed. "I'm bored, Sydney. There is nothing for me to do, but look at my father's garden. If only I could explore the outside world." She said to her friend.

"You know you can't, Alex. You are forbidden to go beyond the palace wall, it is for your protection." Sydney told her friend

"Protection from what? I have lived inside these walls my whole life without a fear. I want to know what is out there!" Alex said.

"There is not much out there, just a market place where people buy food and things and where some people beg for food and money." Sydney said with a shrug of her shoulders.

"Let's go inside, I need to speak with my father." Alex said as she thought about needing to help the people more as Sydney followed her.


In the market place as people were busy buying, selling, and trading goods, and a young boy about 19 years old with short blonde hair and blue eyes, slid against the walls of the stalls, wanting to get away from the cheese merchant he had just stolen from. His clothes were dirty and torn, it was clear that he was homeless and a thief, he smirked slightly and with a quick dash he jumped onto a roof top and scanned the market he just got away from, as a brown monkey with a red vest and a purple and red hat on jumped onto his shoulder and scratched his underarms.

"Oh Abu, we have to find-" the teen said as there was a crash and his blue eyes spotted a figure crashing through a stall, a loaf of bread in his hands. The figure looked back at the small group of guards that were chasing him he had black eyes and brownish blonde hair, his dirty and torn clothes bounced as he ran off once again.

"Get back here, street rat!" the lead guard yelled at the young man, he split up his men and got a bit closer to the street rat they were chasing.

'Time to get out of here and lose these losers.' The young man thought with a snarl and ran faster and jumped onto the roof with the other thief and they hid from sight until the guards stopped looking and went back to the palace.

"I have to say, Walker, you had me worried there for a while." The blue eyed thief said as he sat up.

Cordell Walker shrugged in response to his friend. "At lest you get away with it Gage. I don't get why I am always the one to get chased down by the guards." Walker said as he stood up and walked off before looking over his shoulder at his friend "Coming?"

Francis Gage nodded and stood up and followed Walker, Abu still on his shoulder. "So you get the bread?" Gage asked as Walker showed Gage and Abu his prize as they travelled along the rooftops before Walker stopped and looked down onto the street. A young man in a finely dressed suit on a stunning white horse.

"Another suiter for the princess." A women's voice floated up to the pair of thieves on the rooftop above them.

Suddenly two young girls, who could be no older than 6 years old, ran out in front of the horse, spooking it, the prince gasped and went to hit the child but Walker jumped down and landed in front of the children and grabbed the whip in his hand.

"If I was as rich as you, I could afford some manners." Walker threw the whip back at him after he pulled it from the prince's hand.

"How dare you! I am Prince Douglas, if you get in my way again I will see that you are beheaded." He said after he pushed Walker to the ground and stuck his nose into the air and carried on towards the palace as Gage and Abu, came to Walker's side to help him up.

"Hey look at that, it's not every day you see a horse with two asses!" Walker said with a smirk at his friend as they laughed, the crowd laughed as well.

"You are peasant. A homeless one at that, you were born that way and shall die that way. No one will miss you but your pathetic friend." Prince Douglas said as Walker growled and moved to go after him as Gage held him back.

"He's not worth it, let's just go home and eat." Gage said as Walker sighed in annoyances.

"Yeah lets..." Walker agreed as he brushed the loss dirt off him and they headed to an old crumbling building that they called home.

"If only we could steal something else besides bread and cheese for dinner." Gage said as they split the stolen food between them.

"I know, I'm more worried about the water that we have to steal." Walker said.

"We need a better plan." Gage said.

"Maybe we can ask the emperor for money or something." Walker said.

"Yeah like he would help us." Gage said as he rolled his eyes and looked down and saw Sydney walking past. "I'll be back later."

"Were you off to?" Walker asked.

"Oh hum, just dropping out, I might be back tomorrow... maybe." Gage said as he finished off his portion of the bread and cheese and ran towards the broken wall and jumped down and hurried after the woman who had caught his eye.

'I wonder what is like living in a place like that.' Walker thought to himself as he ate and stared at the palace as Abu lie down on a pillow and fell asleep.
