Chapter One

"She's gone?" Lord Saddler asked flatly. "How'd you let her get away!"

"Saddler, I don't know how she got out. She must have snuck out the back way," Jack Krauser said in a faint whisper.

"Krauser, I want my daughter back in her locked up room," Saddler demanded. "Alexia should not be walking around at all. Find her and lock her up again."

Krauser bowed and turned away from Saddler's throne. He walked out the door. He hurried down the hallway toward the door to lead outside to Alexia Saddler's bedroom.

"I wonder where Alexia think she's going," Krauser mumbled.

Alexia Saddler was Lord Saddler's 21-year-old daughter whom Saddler hated to death. Alexia was always locked up in her bedroom next to the moon maze outside. Saddler ordered her to be locked up in there ever since the whole parasite thing had started. Alexia wasn't infected with the parasite egg. She wasn't infected because Saddler actually said to her face that she wasn't worth wasting a precious plaga on.

Alexia was a georgously beautiful princess that nearly every person wanted. That "every person" included Chief Mendez, Luis Sera (oohlala), Salazar's right hand and left hand men, Krauser, and a lot of the monks, villagers, and army zombies.

Alexia, however, only loved Luis Sera out of all the people who loved her.

Krauser sighed lightly at the thought of Alexia. He managed a tiny smile before he stepped outside.

He didn't blame Alexia for trying to run away. He probably would have done something along those lines. But... All he wondered was where Alexia was going and was she alright?

Alexia Saddler ran through the dark night, not really sure of where she was going. She knew she was a good distance away from the castle, but after that, everything was blank.

She stumbled slightly in the damp mud. It had stopped raininga moment ago, but ALexia knew it was coming again. She could feel it... Or that could have been her clothes sticking to her body.

"Dammit," she whispered as she stumbled again. She regained her balance and continued to run.

Alexia let out a cry as this time she had gotten her ankle caught in something exteremely sharp and painful. She bent down to see what it was.

A bear trap. Perfect. Just perfect.

"Shit," she cried, trying to pull it apart but having no success.

The pain increased. It shot up the whole right side of her body. She whimpered loudly. Hot tears stung her eyes and began to run down her face.

She had gotten so close to getting away from her father and brother, but it had been snatched away in two seconds.

She didn't really know why she was crying. It could have been from pain or from being ticked off!

Alexia was about to give up on trying to get out when she heard footsteps behind her.

She froze. "Krauser, I know that's you. Why don't you just go tell my father that I said, 'Screw you!'"

"Uh... I'm sorry, but I think you have me mistaken for somebody else," a man said.

Alexia looked over her shoulder at who was standing behind her.

It was a man (duh!) with dirty blonde hair that covered his left eye sorta, blue eyes, nice build. He was rather hot.

"Oh. I'm sorry," Alexia said sheepishly. "Didn't mean to yell at you like that."

The man bent down by Alexia's side and pulled the bear trap apart. Alexia jumped back to get her leg out in time.

"You're not one of them, are you?" the man asked.

"No," Alexia answered, running a hand over her bleeding ankle.

The man saw this and joined Alexia on the ground. He pulled out a piece of white cloth and started wrapping it around the wound.

"Thank you," Alexia said, smiling. "I'm Alexia Saddler."

"I'm Leon Kennedy," the man replied, smiling back.

Leon S. Kennedy moved his gaze from the bandages to Alexia quickly. He smiled slightly.

With her pale skin, dark brown hair, royal blue eyes, thin lips, perfect body, strange accent, and georgous face, Alexia reminded Leon of a princess.

"What are you doing out here by yourself?" Leon asked, looking back at Alexia's ankle.

"No reason," Alexia lied.

Leon shook his head and laughed lightly. "Yeah. Like I haven't heard that before. You ran away from your house, didn't you?"

Alexia made a face and looked into the distance.

"How did you know?" she whispered.

"Because, Alexia. We've all done it at least once in our lifetime," Leon replied, laughing again.

Alexia glanced at Leon. Their eyes locked. It seemed as if time had stopped for that split instance.

A crack of thunder broke the ice between them. Alexia blushed and looked away. Leon tied the remaining knot in the cloth and stood up.

"Thanks again," Alexia whispered, arising unsteadily. She tried to take a step forward, but lost her balance and nearly hit the ground face first. Leon managed to slip his arm around her waist in front and lift her up again before she fell.

Alexia was about to thank Leon again when someone started yelling.

"Princess Alexia! Princess Alexia, are you crazy!"

It was Jack Krauser.

Alexia panicked. She pushed Leon to the side of a house and pressed him against a wall.

"Leon, you have to run. My father has sent out one of his men to find me. He could hurt you. You have to get away, now!" she whispered.

Leon blinked.

"What's wrong? Go!" Alexia cried.

Finally something clicked in his head and Leon ran into the house to hide.

"Alexia, where are you!" Krauser shouted.

Alexia stepped out from the safety of the dark house.

"Right here, moron," she called out, opening her arms.

Krauser shook his head and walked toward her.

"Come on, Alexia. Your father's pissed off," he said. He grabbed Alexia by the arm and dragged her out of the village, toward the castle.

Leon watched in silence from a dusty window.

"Princess Alexia?" he mumbled. "I was right. She is a princess." He stopped. -A princess of what?-
