Thanks for the reviews. Sorry it took awhile to post. I've been trying to get my other fic finished, and it's finished XD!

Chapter Seven- A Rebel

Dameon sighed as Princess Christine questioned him on parts of the field. She demanded that Dameon would give her a tour of the countryside. He wouldn't want a thing to do with it, but his parents forced him into it. Kasha sat on the floor near the door, her head was tilted and in her lap her swords rested. Christine saw the sign 'Lon Lon Ranch' and had to ask Dameon to direct the carriage to see it.

"Dameon! I want to go to this ranch!"

Dameon sighed, but soon realized that's where Aurora lived. At least something good would happen today. He already made somewhat of a friend, or at least he thought he did. Being locked up in a castle your whole life, Kasha and Aurora were the closest thing he had to a 'friend'. The irony was the prince always thought of girls as aliens, yet his only friends were girls. The only thing he could think about was, what was a friend? For years he's always wanted a friend, Kasha and Aurora were showing him just that. Aurora was a shy girl, but was fun since she did almost everything Dameon did. And Kasha, she wasn't the most open person about her feelings, but there was just something about her. She made him think, and this made him more interested in her.

"Dameon!" Christine snapped, "get out of it! I'm talking to you!"

Dameon shook his head, "oh. Sorry, driver.. To the Ranch!" Dameon looked down at Kasha. She sat there, looking so peaceful and unaware of her surroundings.

"Don't mind Kasha, she is meditating right now. I find it quiet boring actually. She claims it gets her closer to her Sheikah religion.. I don't even know what a Sheikah is."

"She's Sheikah!" Dameon looked at Kasha, How could she be a Sheikah. Impa told me herself she was the last of her tribe.

"At least half of one, from what she tells me. I always think she's sleeping when she does this. Look at what I mean." Christine waved her hand in front of Kasha's closed eyes. "Not much of a guard."

The carriage stopped, Dameon looked outside. Two men in black, riding horses and waving swords were on the right side. "This is a stick up! Let the Princess exit and we'll let it go." Kasha opened one eye and looked out the window. A man flew from the front of the carriage past the window.

"Looks like we need a new driver... again.. Fifth time this year." Kasha said dryly, she cracked her neck. "Christine and Dameon, you stay in the carriage. Time for some exercise..." Kasha went through the left window of the carriage and climbed to the roof. "I'm up here!" She waved, "I'm so scared! Someone help me! Help me!"

"She's a pansy, this is an easy political kidnapping!" The one bandit said.

"All helpless and such..." The bandits chuckled.

Kasha sighed, "damn! No knight in shining armor to the rescue. All those romance books are wrong... Just like a woman to do a man's job!" Kasha took her twin blades out, and stopped. "Maybe I should try something new this time..."

"The lady is going to hurt us with her swords! I'm so scared." The man laughed. "Don't hurt yourself!"

"Shut up! I'm thinking here!" Kasha threw her sword and got the bandit in the shoulder. "The spear would be nice to use. But I did just get a new mace the other day... Hey! Should I use the spear or the mace? I can't pick."

"What are you! You're a freak! Just a stupid servant of that family! You have no heart at all!" The bandit grabbed the sword and yanked it out. His buddy was backing off slowly.

"Don't have any of them on me, I'll just use my dagger.." Kasha dropped the sword and grabbed the dagger strapped to her leg. She leapt from the carriage and landed in front of the bandits. "Who made you do this? Is it some of those rebels again that hired you? Or did you want some money?" Non of the bandits said a word, they slowly backed up. "Argh! I hate the strong silent types, I get a whipping for this... Sigh, life really isn't fair..."

Kasha quickly approached the un-injured bandit who was backing up. She leaned over and gracefully brought the dagger across his open throat. He fell to the ground, blood drizzled from the clean cut. The other bandit grabbed his shoulder and began to run off. Kasha shook her head and went into a sprit after the fleeing bandit. She took the dagger and dug it into the bandit's back. With a twist on the handle a cracking was heard, and the bandit fell. Kasha took the dagger and put the bandit on his back. He was gasping for air, Kasha looked away as she took her foot and pressed down on his chest. She heard a cracking, she felt each of his ribs crack as she applied pressure. The man rolled his eyes back and relaxed his head as he fainted from the amount of pain. Kasha took his wrists and silt both of them, blood came spurting out.

Kasha took a cloth from her pocket and wiped the blood-drenched dagger. She placed the dagger back and got her sword back. She slowly made her way to the carriage and got in. Dameon looked at Kasha horrified. How could he trust her, after seeing what she did to those living people! He was having an internal debate, should he make a run for it or stay with this monster. He looked into Kasha's eyes, they seemed dull and lifeless. But there was a tinge of red in them.

"How could you just kill those people!" Dameon's eyes started to water, Kasha looked at him and closed her eyes. She took a seat on the floor again and tilted her head.

"Our lives or theirs. You have to understand that life isn't perfect. Bandits and scum alike don't care if they kill us, you saw them kill the driver... Speaking of the driver he's dead, I hate driving the carriage..." Kasha said flatly. "Dameon, I'm no monster.. I'll talk to about this later, but I have a carriage to drive!" Kasha jumped out of the carriage and climbed to the drivers seat. She wiped off the blood-covered bench and took the reins. "Yah!"

"I still don't see what's so wrong with killing bandits.. I see Kasha kill them all the time. She's still going to get a whipping, she got no information on them.. I like this country a lot, even thou it's a bit too quiet."

Dameon stared out of the window, watching the two corpses fade into the distance. He tuned out everyone, the only thing that played through his head was what Kasha told him. "Our lives or theirs." He kept thinking to himself that there were people out there ready to kill him. All his life Dameon was treated with respect and no one ever harmed him or wanted too. And he never saw a dead person or see anything ugly at the castle.

The carriage came to a stop, "Lon Lon Ranch!" Kasha yelled, Dameon shook his head. Christine grabbed his hand, "let's go!" She dragged the prince out of the carriage. The first step Christine took was into a puddle of mud, she shrieked. "My new shoes!" She jumped out of the puddle, "Kasha! You parked wrong! That will cause you to get a whipping."

"Sorry!" Kasha rolled her eyes, "a whipping.. Yes!"

Aurora came running by with a pail in her hands. She stopped and bowed when she saw Dameon and Christine. Christine gave Aurora, who was covered from mud head to toe a dirty look. "What filth you have here! Go, and get yourself clean! You're too dirty to be seen by my eyes! Be gone!" Christine looked the other way, Aurora looked at her puzzled. Sensing that she wasn't wanted Aurora put down the pail and started to run for the field.

"Aurora!" Dameon shouted, as he exited the carriage. Princess Christine snatched Dameon's arm, and he couldn't go say hi to his friend.

"Don't even socialize with their kin, they aren't worthy!"

Kasha jumped off the carriage, "the kin your talking about is mine. I'd like it if you could show a bit more trust in your subjects and the alike."

"Hush up! I tell you when to speak!"

"Someone's crabby..." Kasha ran to the barn and climbed onto the roof with ease.

"Kasha! You know better then to abandon me like this!"

"As soon as you show me more respect and get a new personality I'll be up here. I think this will be my vacation day..." Kasha sat on the roof, watching lazily at the field.

"This will get you a whipping for defying me! You are starting to turn rebellious on us! I think father should just order you to death!" Christine was red in the face with pure anger. Dameon got loose from the Princess's grip and took a few steps away from her. "As soon as I see father again! You're going to be hung or burned!"

Kasha ignored the princess and laid on her back. She stared at the sky, "what a peaceful ranch.. I think I hear a mad ant.."

"Ant! ANT! I'm not an ant! You know better then me that I am Heir Princess to Laska!"

"I'm not listening!" Kasha jumped out of the Princess's sight to the other side of the barn. The Princess stomped her foot and went towards the carriage.

"I'll show her! As soon as father's knights are here! She'll pay!" Dameon didn't know what to do, stay with the angered princess or go wondering around. Dameon started to walk towards the field.

Kasha was walking near the windmill, then she heard a faint sobbing. Kasha quietly opened the door to the windmill, and saw Aurora near a crate of milk rubbing red eyes. Kasha's hands felt cold, and she looked at Aurora not moving a muscle. Aurora looked up and hid her face in her knees. Kasha slowly closed the door behind her and sat on a bail of hay near the sobbing girl. "Ignore that brat.. She has no heart or patience for anyone... I'm Kasha, and your name is?"

"Aurora..."

"Aurora! Wait, I think I've heard that name from somewhere, but I can't recall from what.." Kasha got up and offered Aurora a hand up. "Come Aurora, let's go take a walk in the field. Cheer up, at least you won't be running for your life anytime soon.. That little brat has ordered me to death.. I am so honored..."

"Why would you get death?..."

"In this world, the rich kill the poor because it's fun.. Dameon is here somewhere... Let's go find him!" Kasha grabbed Aurora's hand and the two started to run across the field towards the Prince.

"Aurora! I mean, hi... Great a girl..." Dameon looked at the ground.

"Good to know you two know each other! Let's just hope some brat doesn't come around the corner with a group of knights..."

"BRAT! ME A BRAT!" Christine came storming by. She walked up to Aurora, "I told you to get clean!" She faced Kasha, "and you are going to be dead when father's knights get here! I know why your rebellious now days! You are just mad that father killed your little friend! I was the one that gave the order if that makes you happier! He wouldn't call me 'majesty'! Good riddance."

"You were the one who ordered his death.. My best friend had to die, Mitchell did have a life.. But to you it was worthless..." Kasha's voice went lower and sounded dangerous. "For all this time I was blaming your father.. I guess I was wrong about the family.. All the family deserves TO DIE! COME HERE YOU LITTLE WENCH!" Kasha's eyes were a dull blood red. Out of pure rage she grabbed the scared Princess by the shoulders. She started to shake the princess violently. "You are just a worthless wench! Useless! This is what you put these people through but worse!" Kasha took Christine's arm and started to twist it slowly and brought it behind her back. "Feel the pain! It hurts doesn't it!" Christine had tears streaming down her eyes. The snapping sound of the bone struck Aurora and Dameon's frightened ears. Kasha took Christine's small neck into her hand and started applying pressure. Seeing Christine squirm sent mixed feelings into Kasha. There was the sweet taste of revenge, the soothing of seeing the person who's put her in pain now feeling what it's really like and the cold bitter taste of rage. One feeling was stirring up in her stomach, Kasha was starting to feel sick to her stomach. She was feeling guilt by killing a child that was so young. Kasha opened her hand letting the Princess on the ground gasping for air her lungs craved for.

"I can't kill her... That would only bring me down to their level..." Kasha looked at Dameon and Aurora. "I'm not a monster, when you grow with wisdom and years you will begin to understand why I went into a bloody rage. I shouldn't have done what I did... We will meet again, and then I will tell you my story, for now. Remember life is an ugly thing.. I have to go.. Princess... Find your own way home and I hope I never have to see your face again! Just to let you know, if I see you again I won't show any mercy!" Kasha went to the carriage and grabbed a spear. She strapped it to her back and ran off in the distance.

Christine grabbed her throat with her only arm that she could move. Dameon and Aurora stood horrified and unable to speak from what they witnessed. Malon came running out of the house seeing just a bit of what just occurred. "Dameon, Aurora! Are you two ok?"

Kasha looked at sky, "I think I've found the one I've been looking for.." She walked off into the distance of the setting sun.


I hope you enjoyed it, and I'll try to get writing and get this story finished in a couple of months!
