Chapter 3
~Authors pov~
Riding horse back through the streets of Fanelia.
A girl yelped happily, as she was chased by several palace guards.
"Come on you slow pokes cant you do better than that!?" She shouted than stuck her tongue out.
Outraged the guards ran faster.
"I could beat you guys with two paws tied behind my back!" She smirked waving her fisted paw in the air.
Not looking where she was going the horse stopped suddenly causing her to go tumbling over its head.
"Ow moonlight!" the girl huffed at the horse who whined loudly.
"Dumb horse" She sulked and stood up.
She stepped forward into someone's solid chest.
"Uh.oh" she gulped, "E'llo captain" She smiled charmingly.
"E'llo to you to Sky" the captain of the guards crossed his arms and smiled down at the young cat girl.
"And goodbye to you Captain" Sky gave him a 2 finger wave and jumped up landing her 2 hands on his head and then she hoped up again and flipped over.
Landing on her 2 feet in a graceful pose, she bowed before the crowd that had gathered, "Ta da!"
The crowd exploded into applause.
She bowed again and darted off hopping from a wagon to the top of a pole in the street to the roof of house.
She smiled and took a deep breath, "Good old' Fanelian air" She smiled and pounded on her chest with her delicate clawed hands.
~Sky~
I sighed and swished my tail.
I was glad to be back in Fanelia, It was my home after all.
I whistled loud and long.
My horse -Moonlight- came trotting.
I jumped down and landed gracefully on her back, "Onward home my trusty steed!" I said aloud.
Moonlight pranced about and shook her long milky mane.
"Pretty please with a cherry on top?" I blinked.
She didn't budge a inch, "Fine for 2 apples a carrot and a few sugar cubes"
She reared up and pawed the air and then sprang forward racing down the emptying streets of Fanelia.
She ran all the way to place, she slowed to a trot as we made our way through our secret entrance.
I slipped off her saddle and walked her to the royal horse barn.
I put her into her own stall and began to groom her once I got her saddle off.
"E'llo lady sky!" Chirped a familiar voice.
"E'llo to you to Rags" I smiled at the young boy who hung from the rafters of the barn.
He smirked at me and blinked those pretty gold eyes of his and disappeared off into the other side of the barn.
I sighed and blushed, but went back to grooming moonlight till her coat had a nice sheen to it.
I was about to leave till she nudged me a bit, "Oh yea I almost forgot" I smiled and dashed to the buckets of carrots and apples and other snacks for the horses of the barn.
"A deals a deal" I smiled and petted her as she ate her treats happily.
Once she was done I ran out the barn and to the gardens of the Fanelian palace where a blanket was spread out under a blossoming willow tree.
There was a dress folded up neatly beside a few books, I grabbed it and ducked behind the tree and changed into it.
I tucked the breeches and tunic into a little hole in the tree.
Cracked open a book and placed in my lap just as my mom came waltzing by on Allen Shezar's arm.
"Hello mother and sir Allen" I stood up and curtsied politely.
They nodded, "Sky why are you still here with your books you should've gone and played hours ago" My mom said with a worried tone.
"With who mama?" I said softly to myself, "If you excuse I should get washed up for dinner" I curtsied again and walked off like a proper lady with my books in hand.
"What am I going to do with that girl" I heard my mom say as I walked off.
I walked right to my room and tossed the books on my bed.
I threw off the dress and tossed it into a heap.
Digging through the closet I came across some beige breeches just about my size and a red sleeveless tunic, it was a bit big for me when I put it on but I liked it.
I hooked a belt around my waist and tucked in my 2 daggers and a sword that was made just for me.
Exiting the room quietly I got down on my four paws and went trotting off to find my uncles, they promised me a sword lesson.
I searched the whole palace from the kitchens to the highest tower.
Plopping down my ears dropped sadly, "Stupid uncle Van" I grumbled, "Always making promises he cant keep"
I sighed and scittered to the balcony at the end of the hall way to sit and watch the sky.
~*~*~
I must of fell asleep cause some bright pink light woke me up from my little cat nap.
Rubbing my eyes to be sure I wasn't dreaming I gasped as I saw a person falling in the light.
I jumped up and turned to dash down the stairs when I stopped and turned back to the balcony.
*It would be quicker* I thought.
Taking a deep breath, I ran forward and leaped over the balcony.
I yelped when I landed none to gracefully in a tree.
Pulling the leaves and twigs out of my braided hair I chimed down the tree.
Where -to my surprise- my uncles Folken and Van, my mother and sir Allen sat.
"err.E'llo ma" I chirped nervously.
Uncle Van just quirked a brow while uncle Folken's lips twitched.
"Sky Yume Fanel what in Gaea are you doing?" my mother said frowning at me.
"I uh was err going for a ride with the other Princes and princess in the palace" I fibbed.
My mother blinked then smiled, "Well you go have fun"
I sighed in relief and scampered off to the royal barn on my four paws.
All the other princess and princes where really there, I stood up and wiped my paws on my already dirtied up breeches.
Calmly I walked by ignoring them, "Well, well lookie here it's the palace freak" chided Princess Celina.
I winced slightly as I walked up to my sand colored roan mare I called Serriea.
As I fed Serriea an apple I could sense the princess and her followers surround me.
"Get on your knee's commoner" She yanked me back by ears.
I growled once I regained my balance.
"And the gods of Gaea well freeze hell over before I kneel before you" I hissed baring my sharp teeth.
Her followers giggled and her pointed face turned an angry red as she lashed out at me.
I calmly ducked as her arm sailed over my head.
She lashed out again an managed to whack me over my eye.
She then tried to kick me but I just jumped up, "Is that the best you got man your putting me to sleep" I yawned and flicked her pointy nose.
She screeched and jumped at me, I just jumped again landing on Serriea's stall door and smirked down at the her.
Her face and pretty dress was covered in horse manure.
"Oh dear princess you got a little spot on your nose" I taunted
She screamed and pushed back her sopping brown bangs.
"At least I'm not a bastered child like you, cause your mothers a slut" she smiled triumphantly.
That comment hit a sore spot big time, but I didn't let it show.
I just shrugged my shoulders, "So what?"
Celina "hmphed" and sauntered with her many followers.
I sighed sadly, and slid off the door stall.
"Are yous aiight milady?" Rags stood before me with Serriea's saddle.
I smiled sadly at him wishing so much I didn't feel like crying.
"I shall be okay Rags" I sniffled and wiped at my eyes cause a few tears escaped.
"Come here little dreamer" He dropped Serriea's saddle and gathered me up in his arms to comfort me.
Rags was 7 years older than me (He's 18 and I'm 11), But that didn't stop me from falling in love with him.
I blushed and relished in the moment of being held by him.
"Don't let what that snooty princess said hurt ya, just cause ye aint got no father don't mean you're a bastered child" he said softly stroking my hair.
I sniffled again and sighed, "I wont let it hurt me I promise" I smiled up at him
He smiled back, "That gonna be a pretty shiner" he said softly running his fingers over my eye.
I smiled wider, "I'll be proud to have it though" I smiled and twitched my ears.
"That's my girl" He smiled and ruffled my hair playfully
He then kissed me on the cheek, I was so sure my face turned as red as a cherry.
"I'll envy the lad that comes sweep you off your feet when your older, for I'm certain you'll be the most beautiful women in all the lands" he smiled down at me.
"M-maybe when I'm old enough you can marry me" I smiled shyly up at him, He chuckled.
"I'd be honored to" He smiled and turned to walk off.
I searched frantically in my pockets till I pulled out a silver ring I bought at the market earlier.
"Rags take this as a promise!" I ran to catch up to him.
He smiled and slid the ring onto his pinky.
"and you take this" he pulled a ring off his left hand and slipped into my palm.
It was a pretty silver ring with a green emerald in the middle, "Oh rags thank you" I hugged his leg and dashed off to saddle Serriea.
I heard him chuckle as he walked out the barn.
I slipped the ring onto my thumb, though it slid off constantly.
*I'll have to get a chain later* I thought as I jumped up on Serriea's back.
I clucked my tongue making Serriea walk outa the barn.
I felt do happy I could've sung aloud, so I did, I dong the only song I knew the one my uncle Folken said was the song of the Wing goddess
"win dain, a lotica en vai tu ri..... si lo ta, fin dain a loluca.., en dragu a, sei lain. floreria for chesti... si entina." I sang softly as Serriea trotted towards the forest.
~*~ A/N: That so cute! An 11 year old in love with a 18 years old, reminds me of when I was younger and I had some crush on a college dude o.o;; well I shall go get started on chapter 4! Ja ne!
