Hi! Hallelujah, managed to update today. I had a long day. Funeral, then after party then Grandma's house. Thanks The Cliffhanger Girl, and Eclare55512 for reviewing! Shoot, I hadn't started whatever I had planned, so that may be for next chapter, which might be sometime this week. Speaking of that, forget whatever I said about a schudule, I just barely can't seem to follow it, so I'm going to update whenever I can. Enjoy!

"Ms. Edwards, you majesty, your carriage awaits." A man wearing a black suit and tie said as Clare awoke in the morning. "Thank you." She smiles, then goes to her dresser. She grinned, seeing her auburn hair, instead of the dull black. She needed to fall in love, and today she was catching up with Prince Jake. She put on a green dress, with black flats. She walked down stairs, and caught up with her parents. "Mom, Dad, are we ready?" Clare asks, her eyes shining and her mother smiled. "Yes, oh Clare. I wish you can fall in love, just like Darcy did…" Helen trailed off, thinking about Darcy's wedding a year ago. "I know, I wish that too." Clare agrees, and opens the castle doors.

Her mother guides her to the carriage, and her father follows. "Where are we going?" Clare asks, looking out the window. They were in a part where hasn't seen, and Clare enjoyed this. "East Far, Far Away. This is where the least…pleasant…people live." Her father answers. Clare thinks back to the demon that she met earlier this morning. What was his name…Ellie? Elias? No matter, she's probably never going to meet him again, nor she wants to. The carriage came to a stop, as Clare followed her parents into a cottage.

Meanwhile, Eli was running around the house, packing up all his belongings. He blew it again. He broke the law again, and now his family was going to pay for it. A royal guard caught Eli as he landed onto a tree. The guard gave Eli one minute to run or he'll need ID, Eli on probation by accidentally catching the royal advisor's house on fire. Now, the royal family is here to execute Eli, and burn down their house. Eli, trying to find a way out, bumped into another guard, needing ID, busting him.

Eli threw all of his valuable things outside, and made sure his parents weren't sleeping. "Shit." He muttered, seeing a carriage. "CeCe! Bullfrog! Look outside!" Eli yelled, pushing his parents out of their bedroom. He guided them towards the living room, and the door knocked. "NO!" Eli screams, and CeCe stopped. "What's going on?" CeCe asks, staring at her son. "Mom, Dad, remember the probation?" Eli starts. "Oh god, Elijah! What did you do?" CeCe sighs. "I uh…invaded the castle, snuck into the princess' bedroom then scared the crap out of her. But we met after I snuck out after curfew. I'm sorry!" Eli explains. "Now what?" CeCe asks, as the door knocks even harder. "You and Bullfrog go out through the backdoor. Start over, as normal everyday peasants. Dye your hair, put on makeup, take charisma classes. Two newlyweds wanting to start a family." Eli says. "Honey, we'll come back for you, ok?" CeCe says, and takes Bullfrog's hand.

The couple went out the back door, and Eli waiting a minute. He slowly opened the door, expecting the worst. "Time to-" The princess, as Eli recalls as Clare Edwards started, but stopped as she looked into his eyes. "To…?" Eli asks. "Wait a sec." Clare blushes, then goes over to her parents. "Please do not burn down his house, please!" Clare begs. "Honey, why do you care?" Helen asks, walking away from her daughter. "Ok, three…two…one…" Helen whispers, as Eli screams while a canon is shot. In about 3 minutes, the entire house is in flames. "Mother!" Clare yells, anger in her voice. "He's just a demon, honey." Helen answers. "He's my…friend! Please, stop. Please, I promise he'll stay out of trouble. Just please, stop!" Clare begs. "Very well then." Randall replies.

The house stops in flames, but is completely devastated. Randal and Helen goes to the carriage, and Clare stares at it. "All because of me…" Clare whispers, ashamed. "Clare, you coming?" Helen asks, Clare nods and goes to the carriage.

3 Months Later

"Thank you so much!" Eli cheers, as Clare finally managed to get the Goldsworthy's a house a few blocks away from the village. That day about Eli's house burned down, never really has left each other's minds. "Why did I save him? I don't know." Clare tells herself. In two days, was the arranged marriage of KC Guthrie and Clare Edwards. Clare resented this, and she hated the fact she can't fall in love by herself. No, she needs to marry the royal consoler's son.

They claimed KC is different, and she will completely love him. She's hung out a couple times, and she doesn't exactly favor KC. "Still need to escape?" Eli asks over the phone, hoping to hang out with Clare. "Yeah…we can go hiking?" Clare suggests. "Sure! Absolutely!" Eli cheers, and grabs his shoes. "Welcome." Clare replies, puts on Eli's gym shorts and T-shirt, tying up her hair, and putting on sun glasses. Clare sneaks past the guards, and meets Eli at her hideout.

"Ready?" Eli asks, holding her hand. "Yup." Clare answers. "Clare, this is Adam Torres." Eli introduces. "Hi, I'm Princess Clare." Clare says, and holds the boys hand. "You're a peasant?" Clare asks. "Actually, I'm a Canatesius." Adam replies. "Cana watis?" Clare chokes back. "Canatesius. I'm human, but I can be eaten. Easily. But I grow back, as long as I still have my heart." Adam explains. "Wow, I guess you never go hungry." Clare replies, and they laugh. "Well what are we waiting for? Hiking!" Eli says, and heads out. "Let's go!" Clare answers, following him.

Next chapter, I promise it will be longer, and sometime this week. Please review and enjoy! -NCMS :)
