"Princess, wake up! It's morning and we must get you ready for Prince Cormac's arrival!" Alice said happily, opening all my curtains and windows.
"Awww Alice...can't I have a few more minutes" I groaned, slowly sitting up.
She looked at me and shook her head. "With that hair, we need all the time we can get! Now I will get the bath ready so just wake up!" She said, running into my wash room.
I slowly got up and walked over to the wash room at a leisurely pace. "Quickly Princess, get in the tub!" Alice said, helping me out of my night gown.
I got into the warm water and sighed as Alice washed my long and curly hair and scrubbed my whole body until I was sparkling.
She towel dried me off and gave me new undergarments, a white puffy princess dress with a sweet heart neck line, and matching shoes. "Put those on so I can fix your hair." She said with a smile.
When I put on all my clothes I couldn't help but feel beautiful. "Oh my...princess you look absolutely stunning! Now come sit down." The older woman said, wiping a tear out of her eye.
I sat in the chair obediantly and watched Alice do my hair through my large vanity mirror. She towel dried my hair quickly, brushed it carefully so all the knots would come undone, and finally braided it down my back with a white bow tying it together.
She smiled at me and slowly put on my silver head piece that wrapped around my forehead and above my ears.
"You look just like Queen Mary little princess." Alice said, patting my cheek affectionately.
I smiled sadly and stood up from my chair. "I need to get some fresh air. I'm going to go out into town before Prince Cormac arrives." I said, leaving my room.
A couple of my fathers guards followed me around town as I tried to relax. "I cant breath with you two right at my side. Can you please give me some space?" I asked, batting my eyelashes.
One of them coughed uncomfortably. "Uh..Princess your father said to not leave your side at any costs." The other said, his cheeks turning a bright shade of pink.
I pouted at them and gave them the sweetest smile I could muster. "Then can you two please get me something to drink? Oh please?" I asked, holding one of the guards hands.
"Y..Yes princess!" They said in unison, running off to one of the shops.
I smirked and ran off in the other direction. "There is no way I am going to the castle when Cormac is there!" I thought running into the woods.
After an hour of running deep within the forest I stopped to catch my breath. Ahead of me I could see a small little stream with lush green grass all around. I walked over to it and sat on a rock right by the stream. The experiance was so soothing. There was a cool breeze, the water was running, the birds were chirping, and a pair of haunting yellow eyes were staring at me from a bush.
I jumped up and slowly backed away. The eyes blinked and then out from the bushes popped out a large and muscular man with multiple scratches and sharp teeth. He licked his lips at the sight of me and slowly advanced.
"I haven't had a royal meal in a long time..." He said with an evil smile.
"F..Fenir G..Greyback. Your..that werewolf!" I said in shock. My whole body was shaking.
He licked his lips again and cracked his knuckles. "Yes, I am Fenir Greyback. The notorius werewolf. Unfortunately, I'm not a werewolf right now. It's still only the afternoon, but that won't stop me from killing you and saving the meat for later." He sneered, showing his razor sharp canines.
Without thinking, I ran away from the stream going deeper into the forest.
I could hear the man not that far behind as I ran faster and faster. I approached an old and run down church and ran inside. Closing the doors, I pulled benches in front of them and ran to the far end of the holy place.
"Oh God...please help me. Send me an angel!" I cried, falling to my knees and praying.
The doors burst open and the ghastly man walked in the church. "God isn't gonna help you here princess!" He snarled, running up to me.
I screamed and covered my eyes, waiting for my swift death. There was a shot from something and then I heard the werewolf howl in pain.
Slowly I opened my eyes to see Greyback with an arrow right through his arm. "Damn you!" He screamed, running out of the church.
I looked up at the roof to see a handome blonde male with stormy grey eyes, a nice body structure, wearing a white pirate shirt, and brown pants that were tucked in his brown boots. He gracefully jumped from the roof into the church and looked at me.
"You alright princess?" He said with a charming smirk.
I blushed and quickly got up. "Yes I am alright. Thank you for helping me hunter." I replied, dusting off my dress.
His gaze lingered on me for another moment then he shrugged. "It's alright. Your just lucky I was at the right place at the right time. Well, goodbye princess." He said, leaving.
"O..Oh wait!" I called out.
He turned around.
"Can you...well...can you help me get back to my kingdom?" I asked with a blush.
"Anything to help a pretty doll as yourself." He replied with a wink.
