Disclaimer: Do I really need to do this. I mean everyone knows that I'm just a fan. Fine I don't own any of the characters or places unless you've never heard of them!
I know the chapters are short but that is just how I write. I'm making it as long as possible
"You're going after them your Highness?"
"That's what I said isn't it?"
Lightfingers looked astonished. "But Highness what about your people? You can't leave us alone. After all you have no idea when you'll be back." George thought for a few seconds. "Your right. So I'll just give up my throne."
Lightfingers was horrified. "But you're the best King we've ever had. You can't give up your throne." George glared at Lightfingers. "Did you just talk back to me?" "No my lord I, I, I mean."
"LIGHTFINGERS GET MY HORSE READY OR I'LL HAVE ONE OF YOUR EARS." "Yes, yes your highness." He bowed and than ran to the stables.
Rispah walked up to George. "What was that all about?" "Rispah I have to leave. So I'm resigning as king of the rogue." Rispah's eyes widened. "I need you to hold down the fort here and find a new king. Can you handle that?" Rispah sighed. "Yes I can handle it." George smiled. "Thank you."
George ran to his rooms and grabbed some money. He then ran downstairs and grabbed some food. When he had gotten all he needed, he ran to the stables and hopped on to his saddled horse. The horse raced out the stable in a full gallop.
Alanna's POV
After about an hour of riding hard Jonathan and Alanna stopped to rest in small clearing in the middle of a large forest. While Alanna tended to the Horses Jon started to try and find a shelter. "I can't believe we were stupid enough not to bring water, food, and money. How could we be so foolish?" Alanna sighed, "We were in a hurry we didn't think about it."
"Well that's obvious. Now what are we going to eat?" Alanna thought. "Good question. What's the next one?" Jonathan groaned. "Alanna for once in your life can you be serious." "I can try but I probably won't succeed."
"Ugh. You're going to be the death of me."
Alanna just shrugged it off and went back to tending the horses. Jonathan sat down to think.
"Jon. How did they find out about me?" Jon sighed, "I don't know. They must have heard us talking or something. I can't think of any thing else." He sounded sincere but there was a quiver in his voice. "Jon is there something you're not telling me?" Jonathan looked startled. "NO, no, no. Why would I keep a secret from you? We tell each other everything."
"Well almost everything." Jon looked at her. "What do you mean ALMOST everything. Is their something your not telling me?" Alanna looked at him. "No it's just well we don't tell each other EVERYTHING, everything." Jon looked shocked. "I tell you everything." Alanna didn't like where this was going. "You didn't tell me that you were sleeping with Lady Delia." Jon was about to say something but stopped. Eventually he said, "How do you know that?"
"Jon all of the panting and groaning that came from your room at night. And how the next day you would look all happy like you were king of the world. And you would right even more poetry. Not to mention the fact that she was telling every single lady in all of Corus."
Jon looked stunned. "I'm really sorry Alanna. I just thought that you wouldn't want to hear about it being you're a girl and all." Alanna tried to look angry but she couldn't. "It's alright Jon. I never really had a problem with you not telling me. Let's just get back to the fact that somehow they found out I was a girl and we don't know how."
Eventually after talking about the situation they decided to keep moving till they found an inn. "I'm sure that we can find something to barter with to get us a room for the night," was Alanna's theory.
As they were getting ready to leave they heard the sound of an oncoming horse. "It could be anyone," Jon said. They drew their swords. The sound got louder and louder. When the sounds were so loud they knew that the person had to be just around the corner on the path they jumped out. It was George.
Jon and Alanna both sighed in relief. "George you scared us. We thought you were a guard from the palace or something." George laughed. "Well lass. How was I supposed to now you were still here and hadn't gone any farther?" Alanna thought. "I don't know but still you could have slowed down or something. How did you find us anyhow?"
George smiled. "Simple I followed your tracks." Jon butted in, "But there are plenty of tracks on the road how did you know they were ours?" George's smile got larger. "Before I gave you the horses I had one of my subjects put a spell on them so that whenever I say the magic words your horses prints would be a different color." Jon looked horrified. "But what if the palace guards come looking for us and see it." George's eyes got wide. "Oops. Perhaps I made a small mistake"
Alanna lost her temper, "GEORGE. HOW COULD YOU NOT THINK OF THAT? THEY COULD BE FOLLOWING US RIGHT NOW! AND IF THEY CATCH US IT WILL BE YOUR FAULT."
George was taken aback. "Well I'll remove the spell. They'll only be able to follow to here then we can keep riding." That was were Jonathan had to draw the line. "We? O no you are not coming with us. Alanna already sticks out like a sore thumb we don't need even more people to make us stand out. Right Alanna?"
"Actually Jon. I think that George could be valuable to us. After all he is the King of Thieves." George spoke up. "Actually WAS the king of thieves. I'm not anymore." Alanna and Jon's mouth dropped open. "How can you not be the King of Thieves anymore? You always loved it." George sighed, "I gave up my throne to come after you two. You guys can't survive by yourself and you know it."
"He's right Jon. After all we didn't bring food, money, or water. If we weren't smart enough to bring that then how are we supposed to survive this." Jonathan wanted to argue but couldn't think of anything else to say. "Fine. He can come with us."
What do you think? How am I doing? Tell me in a review.
Speaking of reviews thank you to the following:
Roherwan: I'm still deciding about whether it is AJ or AG. Who knows? It all depends.
Macko: Your right Jon probably wouldn't get into trouble in real life but in my story he committed high treason against the crown. Plus I just needed him to go with Alanna.
Thank you both for your reviews.
The rest of you start reviewing.
