Chapter 2: A Day At the Lake
When I woke up the next morning I checked the time. It was 8:30. I still had plently of time to get ready. I took a quick bath and dressed in my riding clothes. I brushed my long chocolate brown hair and put on a small amount of makeup. I went down to the kitchen and grabbed a muffin before I went to the stables to have my horse saddled. My horse was completly white, and her name was snowy. The horse that I had saddled for Prince Zarian was completly black and his name was midnight. I had not told anyone of my day off from my studies. I decided that I would make them worry. The castle cound use some action, and I was going to be the one to give it to them. Charmaine would have a fit and I wish that I could be there to see the look on her face when I don't show up. She will be furious! I would be gone and she would not be able to think of a single place that I could go. According to her there was nothing to do other than study at least for me to do anyways.
"Princess! Are you here?" I could hear the stable hand walking around. I hid from him and as soon as he was gone I got the saddles from there shelves and put them on the horses. Of course you are thinking this is a very unprincess like thing that I am doing, but I prefer to do it my self. Plus noone will be able to tell were I have gone if they do not know that my horse is gone. Someone will discover the horses are missing sooner or later but not soon enough!
"Princess Evelyn! Its me Zarian. Where are you?" "I am here." I said as I walked up to him. "Everyone in the castle was worried that you had run off somewhere. If I didn't know where you were going to be I would have been looking for you too." "You didn't say anything to them did you? If Charmaine hears she will go balistic." "Um..... I told her where you were. I'm so sorry I didn't know that you didn't want them to know." "Don't worry about it, it will just make it even more fun! You probably are wondering why I don't want them to know. It's because I have spent practically my whole life searching for my own adventure, and I have grasped on to every single exciting thing that I can. I want them to worry. It makes the whole thing more fun and exciting." "Well we better go now then cause shes coming and she doesn't look to happy!" We jumped onto the horses and rode out of the stable.
"Princess Evelyn get back here right now! You are in so much trouble! Pincess get back here this instant!" I turned around and saw her running after us. I kicked my horse into a gallop, and yelled at Prince Zarian to go faster. "Bye Charmaine! I'll be back later! Don't wait for me!" I yelled back to her.
"Prince Zarian! Follow me I know were we should go! Theres a lake not very far from here!" I yelled to him. I had to yell so that he could hear me. "Ok That sounds good to me." He yelled back. "And you can stop calling me Prince Zarian. It's just Zarian."
Once we reached the lake that we were going to we dismounted, tied up our horses, and took off there saddles. I took off my shoes and socks and sat on the edge of the pond and put my feet in the cool crystal water. I used to come here all the time with my mother when I was younger. I miss her smiling, and always cheerful face. Even in death she was smiling. She kept telling me stories of when she was younger and she told me how her mother died. My mother died on her birthday, from some sickness that they would not name. They thought that I was much to young to understand. They still think that I am to young to understand.
I was interupted from my thoughts when Zarian began to talk to me. "Princess, I am sorry to interupt your thoughts but I was wondering how old you are." "I am 14. How old are you? And you can stop calling me Princess. My friends call me Eve." "I am 17. What were you thinking about?" "I was thinking about my mother. She died when I was 9. I don't know how though they never told me." "My mother used to talk about how funny Queen Ella was. She said that once when she was younger your mother used to entertain her at banquets, while High Chancellor Thomas spoke, or wrather droned on about one subject or another. Thats were they met. At a banquet. My mother was becoming wrather bored of his chatter so she decided to go and meet your mother. They became very close friends after that. She used to come visit all of the time. I even slid down the stairs with her once. You remind me of her. You have her endless energy." I used to not like to talk about my mother, but now I didnt mind so much because it helped to hear about all of the good things she did and all of the people she reached.
I smiled at him and looked back at the almost cloudless sky. 'I think I'm statrting to like him' I thought to myself. I was interrupted from my thoughts when I was pushed into the clear waters of the lake. I resurfaced gasping and screaming. I looked over at him and saw that he was laughing.
"Zarian! I'm going to get you!"
I got out of the water, walked over to him and pushed him in. Now it was my turn to laugh. Or at least it would have been if he came up as soon as he went under. I waited for what seemed like an eternity for him to come up, but he never did. I dove in after him, and began swimming around looking for him. I felt something grab me and when I resurfaced I was standing face to face with Zarian.
"Why didnt you come up you scared me. I thought you had drowned or something." "You were worried about me huh?" he asked me arrogantly "I was just worried that I would have to go back up to the castle and explain to my father why you were not with me. He would have been very mad."
I stopped talking because I noticed that he was staring at me.
"Why are you staring?" "You don't look to bad when your all wet."
I blushed at this comment and thought 'You don't look to bad yourself.' I was thinking about how good he looked wet when all of the sudden I felt he fingers tilt my head up to look at him. Then he leaned down and kissed me. I was a short, sweet kiss that left me blushing.
"You look good when you blush too." "What time is it?" "It's about 4:00. Why?" "We need to get back to the castle and get ready for your welcoming ball." "You'll dance with me won't you?" He asked "Yeh, sure."
We got out of the water and resaddled our horses and rode back up to the castle. But if we would have been paying attention we would have noticed the small band of theives following us.
