Ch. 7: Lioness Vs Prince
The prince brushed a trail of sweat away from his brow as he watched Lady Alanna raise her wooden bow steadily and pull back the arrow. She took aim and shot. The arrow soared through the air rapidly and...bulls eye!
Jon groaned and theatrically grabbed his heart, falling over dead. Alanna laughed and stood above him.
"C'mon you! One more shot!"
"You're killing me Alanna! I didn't know what I was getting myself into!"
"Get up you lazy man!"
He looked up at her with a dumb founded look on his face. Alanna stared down at him amused. They stared at each other for a moment before Jon crossed his eyes and stuck out his tongue at her.
"NOW!" Alanna giggled.
"Okay, okay! Women are so demanding!" the Prince huffed, pulling himself to his feet. He squared his shoulders. "You are going down, Lady Alanna! If I get a bulls eye, I win and get to escort YOU to the ball!"
"Go ahead oh ye great one. Show me up!" she glanced around and smirked when she saw the young boys leaning eagerly forward watching them excitedly, anticipating the results. "Patience..." Jon trailed off as he gripped his bow with a steady grip. He concentrated hard. He even calculated the wind pressure to be sure he got a bull's eye. He was taking the fiery redhead to the ball if it was the last thing he did!
Alanna watched in enjoyment as the Prince took a comical amount of time to aim the arrow. Her nose began to tickle and her eyes began to water.
'I can do this,' Jon declared to himself. He was sure he got it perfect. He checked one more time to make sure it was aimed correctly and was about to release his arrow when...
"ACHOO!!"
Startled, the prince jerked up, accidentally letting the arrow loose. He watched as it cut through the air missing the target completely. He heard Alanna sniffle behind him and turned around to glare at her.
She looked up innocently. "What? It's not my fault you didn't win!" she stated victoriously. She began to do a little victory dance and shouted into the sky, "I beat the prince! I beat the prince!"
Jonathan of Conte put his hands on his waist. "You cheated!"
"Did not!"
"You sneezed on purpose and...and made me lose concentration!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
Alanna stared at him amused, "Aww, poor wittle Jonathon is mad cause he wost to a GIRL!"
"Only because you cheated!" he declared and, without a warning, charged at her.
Alanna shrieked and turned to run. She didn't get very far when she felt firm hands grab her waist and spin her around. She looked up and saw a twinkle in the Prince's blue eyes.
"You'll pay." He snarled and started tickling her.
Squealing, Alanna tried to get away, but ended up tripping and landing on the softly matted grass. After a few moments of giggling and rolling on the lawn, Jon mercifully stopped his battle of tickling and rolled onto his side. He rested his head on top of his arm, staring down at the beautiful redhead. She smiled up at him admiring his brilliant blue eyes.
"You're beautiful," Jon murmured. "Even if you are a cheater."
Alanna grinned slightly and reached up to brush away the strands of grass that were embedded in the Prince's dark, almost black, hair. "Fine, fine, fine. I'll go to the ball with you tomorrow, but you still have to give me lessons."
"Deal," the prince whispered. He leaned over and gently kissed her cheek before standing up. The kiss was so soft that Alanna almost thought she imagined it.
She smiled, standing up as well. "It looks like you got grass stains on your perfectly ironed pants, Prince Jonathon. I never thought I'd live to see the day!"
Jon chuckled. "You look like a little wild girl. You have grass all in your hair, which by the way is sticking in every direction. It kind of reminds me of a Lion's mane!"
She blushed a deep red and reached up to try to fix the tangled mess.
"You could be a Lioness!" the prince declared.
Alanna laughed and looked at him. "You remind me of a pig! You can be a Wart hog!"
He burst out laughing. "Don't make me have to tickle you again!"
"I was just kidding! I kind of like being a Lioness though. A brave, fierce animal...top of the food chain."
"Then you can be my Lioness." The prince chuckled. "Now lets go get some breakfast."
"Yes, me with my wild hair and you with your grass stains. We compliment each other nicely."
The Prince threw back his head in laughter.
A/N: And that's how Alanna became the Lioness...lol. Idk, I just kinda typed whatever came to mind. Anywho, know that you've read, go review please! And while you're at it, go read my new chapter to Silent Stormers that I just wrote yesterday! :)
Till next time,
