Alice's P.O.V.
I started to stir in my sleep and woke up when I felt the bright sunlight across my face. I changed into a ragged dress and went downstairs to greet my family. You see, we're not exactly rich, especially since Prince Hydron and his father were so selfish.
"Good morning mother! Where is Dan?" I greeted my mother. She was a beautiful woman but I didn't look anything like her. I might have been more alike with my father. I wouldn't know since he died before I was born. At least that's what mother says.
"Good morning Alice, Dan's at the bar again,"
"Alright, thanks!" I thanked her as I rushed out of the house. It was closed to my birthday and the snow made me even more excited.
"Alice, be careful. You know how the men go nuts when they see you," I nodded but I wasn't really listening. The falling snow was mesmerizing! I walked into the bar where my brother worked. He was at the counter like usual. Once I walked in, teenager boys started whistling. I flashed them a sweet smile before I went to Dan.
"Hi Dan, so how's it been lately?" he started blushing because he knew I was talking about Runo, a blue haired girl that lived beside us. They were going out now since Dan finally had the guts to ask her.
"Shut up sis," I giggled at his reaction. He tried ignoring it by passing me some clothes. Most girls didn't work but our family really needed the money. I hated wearing those clothes. It was too show able in my opinion but Dan said it would attract more customers. I went to change.
"Dan… do I have to? You wouldn't see other girls wearing these kinds of things,"
"Well other girls have rich families," he stated. I was wearing a skirt that most girls would wear attached to a shirt, but this skirt was attached to nothing! Then I had a separate shirt that only went to under my breasts and had a collar! This isn't what I would call the best outfit. I frowned at Dan but he ignored it and passed me a tray of drinks. People got drunk easily so I had to be careful. I went to one table and gave them their drinks.
"Hi there, you're hot!" I ignored the comment and I was about to walk away when he stood up and pushed me on to the ground. He slid his hand slowly up my waist and I got scared.
"Uh… Dan!" I tried getting his attention but then I realized he left the room. Then out of no where a guy came and pushed him off of me. He was wearing a mask and I couldn't tell who he was but from what I could see, he looked muscular but not so much that it was scary.
Shun's P.O.V.
Great, another morning of searching for the princess but nothing. I decided to go into a bar to rest. No one heard my entrance so I sat down at a table in a corner. Then I heard a beautiful girl voice. I quickly turned around and saw the most amazing person ever. She had orange hair that framed her face nicely and she had the most beautiful chocolate brown eyes. She was complaining to her brother about the clothes she had to wear. I understood why she didn't want to wear them but I could also understand why her brother wanted her too. She had a delicate body and I couldn't take my eyes off of her. She might be the princess. I mean she's the only girl I've seen with red hair and she looked about the right age. Who am I kidding? She can't be the princess. I mean I'm certain there was a better hiding spot than the bar in Vestal, near the kingdom. Then I snapped out of my own thoughts when I saw the man jump on top of her. I quickly pushed him off. She seemed surprised and our eyes lock for just a moment but I quickly turned away.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing?" the man asked me. I helped the girl up and stood in front of her. After all if she was the princess, I would be responsible.
"Leave her alone," I said emotionlessly. It almost sounded cold and I knew it because he suddenly backed off. He took a chair and threw it at me. I spoke too soon. I grabbed the girl and we jumped out of the way.
"Fight, Fight, Fight!" people started yelling and he made a motion with his hand that meant bring it on. We started fighting and the girl looked scared so I decided to talk to her. Besides, the men weren't that strong.
"Hey there," I said coolly.
"Hi… thanks for that… Watch Out!" she suddenly screamed, I almost got hit in the face if it weren't for her.
"It's Dan!" I looked to my left to see who she was pointing at and saw a teenager about my age. The group of men left before Dan could scream for help. He didn't look like the tough type. We walked up to him.
"Hi there, I'm Dan. Thanks for helping my sis," I nodded. He looked at me as if he was expecting me to say more. I'm the quiet type. Who could blame them for not knowing?
"Umm… my name is Alice," she introduced to kill the awkward silence before she left to change. Alice… that's such a beautiful name… wait… wasn't the princess named Alice? Oh well, she didn't seem like a princess. When she came back, I finally said something.
"Shun," I suddenly said and they stared at me, "Sorry, my name is Shun." Alice started smiling and then asked, "Are you new here?" I didn't know what to say. Am I supposed to tell her I'm on a mission to look for a princess?
"Oh… yeah I am," I answered stupidly. It was suddenly awkward again but luckily someone came in. It was another girl but a little bit older than Alice.
"Hi Dan," she said sweetly and then realized I was standing there.
Alice's P.O.V.
The silence was actually a kind of good thing. I got a bit of time to examine Shun. He had an interesting name that I actually found attracting. He still had him mask on and I couldn't wait until he took it off. When I was about to ask Runo walked in.
"Hi Dan," she said half flirting and then saw Shun. She must have been surprised because she couldn't take her eyes off of him either. Dan was getting mad.
"How about I take you around Shun?"
"Alright," his answer was quick and simple. Once we left the bar, I heard Runo and Dan yelling at each other. It's so typical of them. I didn't find it strange at all. We walked through the market and I took him to a place, near a lake. It was beautiful there.
"Wow…" I heard Shun say. I giggled at his remark. We sat down on the snow and I lied down with my eyes closed. I felt someone covering my sunlight so I opened my eyes to see Shun. He slowly took off his mask and placed it on the ground. I gasped. He was so… handsome. Handsome certainly wasn't the word. He was so much more! He had honey-brown eyes and I couldn't take my eyes off of them. I realized he had long hair also.
"You're… amazing," I accidentally announced it. I saw a small smile form as I blushed like crazy. Did I actually just say that? Shun stood up and pulled me up as well. We started walking through the market, like it's natural.
"Do you have anywhere to stay?" I asked hopefully. He seemed like a pretty nice guy. He nodded his head. He must have noticed I looked disappointed.
"I'll see you tomorrow?" he asked. I nodded.
"Bye," he gave another slight nod and I walked away.
Shun's P.O.V.
She was so gentle and I couldn't stand upsetting her but if she was the princess, I couldn't stay with her. I walked to the kingdom. I really wanted to go back and forget about everything. Does it matter if I find the princess or not? Besides, it's my father's fault in the first place.
"I didn't choose this path!" I yelled angrily at the gates to the kingdom. Maybe I should go visit the Kingdom of Neathia. I made my decision and was on my way. It wasn't far and when I got there I stopped in my tracks. It was deserted. I broke down the chains that was on the castle door and snuck inside. It was dusty, but it was beautiful. There was a huge painting on the wall. It was King Joe and Queen Chan-Lee with the princess. She looked adorable and had beautiful hair. I realized that around her neck, was a gold necklace with a heart. If Alice had one, then it would mean she was the princess! There was only one way to find out so I decided to stay for the night and head back tomorrow, that's when I suddenly remembered.
"My Mask!"
XOXOXOX
No one's P.O.V.
"Where is he?" a young man asked. He was with another young man and they were both wearing masks. They were walking around, not knowing where they were going. Then suddenly, one of them tripped over something. It was a mask.
"Shun…" the other one whispered.
"He revealed himself… how could he?" the other one asked surprised.
"I guess he got scared of something," sneered the one from before. They picked up the mask and started tracking him down.
Me: I'm done! I hope it was a little longer than usual.
Julie: I'm still not in it yet!
Me: Yeah… I'm sorry. I'll think of a role for you soon…
Alice: That other man was scary…
Julie: Get Shun to help you!
Alice: … *blush
Me: Julie, you're so lucky Alice isn't Runo…
Alice: I've got to agree on that one… no offense Runo… Please review and comment everyone!
Me: And I hope everyone enjoyed that chapter! I'll update asap!
