Hey how is it going everybody? So here is chapter 11, more twists and turns on the way.
Jacks POV
I was very bored right now, like listening to Milton talk about some new discovery would be more entertaining. Donna had been talking non stop since we started riding, she was holding on to me WAY too tight, she kept on babbling about some new dress designer she found who was going to make her a spectacular gown that would put her even higher on the royal best dressed list.
What made this trip so especially agonizing was every once in a while I would hear a laugh from Kim I would turn around to see a smiling Kim and very happy Jerry. But when I would turn back around I would get the evil eyes from Donna
Donna really hated Kim, Of course I still thought Donna had been smoking something, I mean what kind of person meets you once and you totally make it clear your not interested and she still thinks you are meant to be, she scares me.
We had been riding for what seemed like hours, when we arrived to a strange looking camp, there were tons of these tents, some had red crosses on them and you could see nurses and doctors entering them. I looked behind me and Rudy pointed to a clearing in the bushes, I rode over there and we all got off our horses.
I was so relieved that I could finally breathe and I mentally thanked God for fresh air, Jerry helped Kim off his horse and she smiled at him, and I felt sick. Once we were all off her horses Rudy said
"Alright I think this is a main war camp"
Kim's POV
This ride was so much more fun, then the ride to the lake, I was still hurt over breaking it off with Jack, and Jerry is such a goofball, he made me laugh the entire way there, we even made fun of Jack and Donna, Donna was holding on to Jack for dear life and Jacks face was almost blue.
Jerry and me talked the entire way there and Jerry made a point to say
"You know Jacks a great guy, and I know that he would never cheat on you, he really likes you, I have never seen him act that way around a girl before"
I smiled at him and said
"I just think we need time to be friends, before we become more than that"
I occasionally would see Jack look back I pretended not to notice, we eventually came to a camp of sorts. We went over to a clearing in the bushes and Rudy said
"Alright I think this is a main war camp"
We all looked around the bushes, trying to get a better look at the then said
"Kim, Jack, we don't want anyone to recognize you, so keep your cloaks on but dont look suspicious, now we dont know if this is Terrapotain, or Emersonian camp, so do not say where your from until we know what camp this is"
I then sighed and said
"Rudy me and Jack our both dirty and I have this bandage around my head, I doubt anyone would recognize us"
I knew I was right over the whole escaping castle guards, to escaping thieves, we had rolled in the dirt, and were probably unrecognizable from the royal that these two country's remember.
It did not seem like a week ago I was planning my morning escape out of the castle, now here it is 1 week later and I have been kidnapped twice, beaten up more castle guards and thieves then I could count, and have been gone longer from the castle longer then ever in my life, I laughed silently to my self, i had gone from a perfect princess, to a real rebel.
Me and Jack put on our cloaks and we all rode into the camp, some of the soldiers came up to us and said
"What business do you have in Terrapotaiam camp grounds"
Jack then spoke up
"We are Terrapotainiam travelers visiting a relative in the mountains"
I was still trying to figure how that was going to work considering none of us looked related Milton with red hair, Jerry had black hair, Jack had brown hair, and my hair was blonde, not to mention, Rudy looked a lot older than us, and I still wondered how they were gonna piece that we were related to Eddie.
Jack then continued and said
"We would love a place to set up camp, would it be alright if we stayed here? Just for tonight we will be gone by morning"
The man seemed to be thinking, he then smiled and said
"Sure as long as you dont get in the way of the doctors and officers here"
Jack smiled and said
"Thank you, you wont even know were here"
The man laughed and replied
"Nonsense, Terraptaimian is sure to win and that is something to celebrate, please join us for dinner, it starts at 6 sharp, see you there folks"
He then rode off and Jack nodded his head towards an empty space behind some other tents, we stopped our horses and got off, and began to set up camp, me and Jack were taking our horses down to the stream to get something to drink, and I asked Jack
"Jack why are we setting up camp here? Wouldn't it be safer to hide deeper in the woods tonight, I mean what if they discover who we are?"
Jack then said
"We need maps, we need to find the easiest and safest route to the battleground, we do not want anyone caught in cross fire, if I can get maps we can find the main part of the war is, where our fathers are"
He seemed to have throughly thought this through so I asked him
"How are we going to get the maps?"
Jack thought for a second and said
"Tonight Jerry and I will sneak into the generals tent during dinner, I will need you to cover for us, tell them Jerry and I are not feeling well or something, and try to keep the general distracted we don't want him walking in his tent while we are getting the maps."
While the horses were getting something to drink I grabbed a ripped piece of dress from my saddle bag, and slowly dipped it in the stream, I then began to wash my arms and face, I knew the soldiers could recognize me but I knew that it would take a lot more than some water to clean me, I was going to need some heavy duty soap, I chuckled at the thought of father seeing me in this state.
I began to remove my bandage I thought that washing the scrape would minimize the risk of infection. I washed it for a minute the cold water feeling good on my cold face, I then turned to Jack and asked
"Does it look infected?"
I asked Jack while pointing at the scrape near the top of my head
He walked towards me and seemed to study my face, which of course made me avoid eye contact at all costs, He took the ripped material out of my hand, and began to gently scrub a spot near my face.
He silently whispered
"Missed a spot"
I look up at him he was busy paying attention to the cut on my head to notice how red I was from blushing, he also did not seem to notice how his nearness affected me, I was even shaking a little bit, then he looked down at me and our eyes locked, I tried to look away, and kept repeating in my head that he was just a friend, we were awakened from our trance by Rudy calling us over to help finish setting up camp.
Jack let out a sigh and began to walk his horse over to our camp site, I soon followed but not before I mentally slapped myself I was determined not to even try to get back together with Jack until either of us truly knew each other.
SO that was chapter 11, YAY! I am not that proud of this chapter sorry of its a little confusing, if you have a question just ask,
Will Jacks plan work?
Will the enemy soldiers recognize Kim?
What will happen when they reach there fathers tent?
Keep reading, and please don't forget to post a review, it would mean a lot
