Kagami- im a little late, sorry! I needed to do a bunch of homework! But im here now and ready with another chapter!

SO sorry about the grammar, i wasn'tusing spell check ^'

~~I do not own vocaloid~~

Here I am sitting with a doll in hand.

This doll was me. It's hair was pulled out, and barefoot. It's face was covered in dirt. The clothes were torn.

"Today," my sister finally said "Let's play execution,"

I felt sick. I knew she wanted everything to happen to me.

"What shall we do to Rinny today?" I asked, forcing a smiled.

"Rinny, will be beheaded!" Mayu grinned.

"Wonderful Mayu-chan," I said.

Mayu left the room, and after five minutes came back with a butcher knife.

"What's wrong Rin? Your face is pale," Mayu asked.

"I was just impersonating how Rinny's face is!" I felt my stomach turn. if I upset her with that butcher knife in her hand… dear lord.

"OKEY DOKEY! TIME FOR THE EXECUTION OF RINNY! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! HOLD YOUR APPLAUSE!" Mayu shouted to her doll as the crowd.

Her hand –with the butcher knife- came up. I flinched as it neatly cut my doll's head off.

So cruel...

"Well that' all for today Rin! You should get to sleep. Guess what I arranged for next week!" she smiled.

"A ball?" I asked, not that I'd be allowed to go anyway.

"Nope! Your execution! You will die, and serve our country to stop the war!" she grinned.

Pure horror hit me then.

"Night night Rin!" she yelled, running to her room with her doll.

I stared at the door, my body trembled.

I thought it was just a castle rumor…

…

I didn't sleep that night. I couldn't.

instead i thought up a plan to run away before the servants woke up!

i packed up my clothes, some food, and water. all i needed if i needed to ruff-it for a while.

"leaving?" i turned to see Gumo again, this time with Gumi.

"Yes, and stop that! you'll give me a heart attack one day...," i said, grabbing my stuff.

"We're coming with," Gumi said proudly.

"That's treason,"i sighed.

"So? it's what your doing!"Gumo pointed out.

i sighed, they couldn't follow. it kill them. if i get caught i'll die either way.

"No," i glared.

"we respect your decision, princess Rin," Gumi bowed.

"Always so formal? stay like that OK Gumi?" i walked out of the room with that, leaving my only true friends behind.

I did what i did before, crawling threw the dwarf's servant door. then over the wall using the wheel barrow. finally i started running. ignoring the begging people in the street, and the hungry children crying to their mothers. Yes, i felt horrible. I couldn't get caught though. Finally i reached the plain of flowers, with it's huge lake.

i remembered the cave, if it wasn't a big mineshaft or anything i could hide in there.

Slowly, and staying low I crawled to the cave. i didn't want to take a chance with any 'shoot anything that moves' hunters.

finally i reached it. the cave had a low ceiling, the floors were smooth enough, and the walls were far enough to lie down. Perfect.

I lied my head on my bags to sleep. With no worries that I would be found I slept easy. My sister said i had a week. I'll count the days until then. On the last day I'll hide, knowing they'd send the dogs.

...

I yawned as I woke up. The darn sun Beamed on my face. I refused to open my eyes in fret that i will suffer from sudden light.

"Is hunting absolutely necessary?" a voice asked.

"I'm afraid all great kings must be great hunters. It will certainly help if the wolves come again," another explained.

I froze, opening my eyes a crack.

I saw that king again. Len I think? That's just dandy now i need to deal with him again. i mentally groaned. that boy is so stubborn!

Len muttered something to the teal haired boy.

"what's that?" the man next to him, with teal hair asked. i recognized him as one of the armored men "A bear! hurry kill it sire!"

"No, if it's that small it's a cub. then the mother would be near by. leave it be," Len ordered.

i suddenly felt relieved.

"Yes, but we better go it may be dangerous," the teal hair advised.

"Yes,let's get going," Len agreed.

..

i waited a bit, and when all grew quiet i stood, sticking my head out to look around.

to my surprise Len suddenly hung from the edge of the cave.

"AH!" i screamed, falling back due to the scare.

"You think i'm THAT stupid?" Len asked.

"N-No!" i stuttered. This kid is... is... crazy!

"I see you camped out over night. you fall for me that fast? or was it the fact you could marry a king," he frowned.

"I happened to have run away from home!" i told, it was true.

"Why? oh, hold on," Len jumped to the ground, then sat on the floor of the cave. "tell me your story,"

"I... my family doesn't agree with the one nearby. i was going to be executed as a peace treaty," i explained. leaving out a few details.

"Sounds like what will happen to an unknown princess in a nearby country," Len commented.

"It's where they got the idea," i lied.

"i see, well if you like you may stay in my castle," Len suggested, "until thing die down,"

"Thank you, but i think i'll be fine," i turned down.

i can't let anyone get suspicious. someone will eventually see threw the lie.

"i've seen a bear in the area. don't think he'll like seeing you in it's home," Len added.

I sighed "Fine!"

well, I'm not here to die!

i got my things, and started to follow him. the kingdom wasn't like mine. the people were happy, and children played in the street.

It was so... cheery.

I smiled as some children played with marbles, a game I never was allowed to play.

"so, where do you come from?" Len asked "not my county, a nearby one?"

"yes, I come from the country with the unknown princess. it's very gloomy," i sighed.

"I see, the country is cruel. is it not?" Len asked.

"yes, I blame royalty," i smiled.

"It's why i want to claim the country as mine. the treaty will stop that though," Len frowned.

"Actually, I ran away because the princess did also. there shall be no treaty," I explained.

"Really i-,"

"King-sama! King-sama!" a couple of children ran over to Len "King-sama will we be able to go to the ball too?"

"Sorry, but children aren't allowed unless your parents say so!" Len smiled.

Suddenly, all but one child ran away screaming "MOM!"

"Len-king-sama?" the lone child said.

"yes?" Len asked, giving the child his undivided attention.

"Is this pretty lady you're date tonight? who is she? where is she from? will she be at the ball?"The child asked.

"Maybe, Rin, the country near the great lake, don't know," Len answered.

"Okey dokey! bye!" the child yelled, running off.

"So,will my lady be going to the ball tonight?" Len asked, smirk planted on his face.

i get to go to the ball...

i felt like i was going to explode. my first ball since EVER! what would i wear wha-

"sure!" i shouted.

"And does malady have a date?" Len asked.

Uh... i don't exactly want to go with this guy. this stubborn, wierd

"You aren't allowed to go if you don't go with me," he added.

a whole new level of cruel.

i hung my head "fine,"

"lovely, now let' go find the tailor!" Len shouted.

"The tai-AH!" en had yanked my arm, and we were running faster than my shoes liked.

let's hope the tailor will be better than all this!
