A/N Hey and thanks to my reviewers, Nirithil and Sirenic Griffin! I completely understand the capital thing, it's just I have a new computer, and my old one used to do that, so I'm just getting used to this one! Well, glad you like the story so far, hope you keep reviewing!

We walked through the woods in silence, both thinking our own thoughts. I was trying to piece together everything I knew about Tyler, the prophecy, and just this land in general. I'm not sure what Tyler was thinking about. Suddenly he pushed me against a tree, pressing close to me, with his hand over my mouth. I wasn't sure what was happening but I soon heard the noises of someone walking through the trees on the other side of us. Tyler slowly took his hand away, motioning with his finger that I should keep quite. I felt slightly angry, what right did he, a servant, have to push me over, and tell me to be quite.

We stayed like that for a little while, until whoever it was had gone, then he moved away from me, but slowly, as if he still expected someone else to come through the trees.

"How dare you!" I whispered, angrily, "I am not stupid you know, I know when to keep quiet!"

"I know you aren't stupid!"

"Well don't treat me like I am then!" I wanted to argue more with him, but couldn't think of a good enough reason to. I still wasn't sure why I actually wanted to argue with him. "So what are we waiting for? Shouldn't we be following them? You did say you wanted to find a village,"

"I... I didn't think of that actually," he said, then began to walk off, quietly.

We followed the noise for a while, both of us keeping quiet, although whether that was for safety or simply because we were annoyed I wasn't sure. Soon we were very close to the travelling party. I wanted to see them, to see what they looked like, whether they were fairies, or perhaps goblins. I wasn't sure. So I started to walk a little faster, so I could get closer, just close enough to see them. Tyler tried to grab me but I dodged from his hand, and ran a few trees ahead.

There, in the clearing ahead of me was a group of goblins. I knew they were goblins instantly, because they were so... ugly. They were quite short and squat, and greyish in colour. They had bulgy eyes and arms that almost dragged on the floor. They were laughing as they walked, carrying bundles, covered in sacking. But it was the smell that hit me the hardest, they reeked. I couldn't stop my eyes watering, nor could I stop myself gagging. Luckily they were so loud that they didn't notice. But Tyler, as he ran up to me, did, and he dragged me back, and held my hair up as I threw up, in a most un-Princess like fashion.

"I should have warned you," Was all he said, when I had finished, then he just began to follow them again. I felt so bad, my face was sticky with dried tears, and I could tell my eyes were blood shot. I also wasn't sure how clean my face was, or my hair. I wanted so badly for this to be over, so I could wash at home, then get tucked up in bed. But I knew that couldn't happen, I had to find Shaylee. So I gathered up my skirts and followed Tyler, and the goblins.

After, I'm not sure how long, we heard more noise, and I knew we were nearing a village.

"We'll wait till dark, then I shall try to find us some clothes,"

"I am coming too," I whispered,

"No, it's too dangerous," I simply looked at him, "Fine, ok, I shall take you, but I must warn you, not only will there be goblins, but the other townsfolk, some will be in the pay of the Queen, and the others may be dangerous, just because of how scared they are,"

"I will do anything to find my sister,"

So that night I found myself with a servant, ready to sneak into a fairy town, to find clothes, so I could rescue my little sister from the goblin Queen. That didn't sound strange at all! We crept closer and closer, until we were hiding behind a house of some sort.

"I know this place," Tyler whispered to me,

"I didn't know you'd been here?"

"My mother took me when I was young, this used to be a city, the capital of the revolution in fact. I... used to know people here, I don't know if they're still alive. But if they are, they can help us."

"Lets hope they are then," I said it in a matter-of-fact kind of way, but really I was so annoyed that he hadn't told me about his past visits here.

We crept forward again, Tyler looking around us all the time, although it seemed everyone was inside. We made a dash to a gap between two houses, just in time, as a group of goblins (I could tell by the smell) went passed,

"You heard? The Queen's found a girl," One grunted,

"Nah, that's jus' a rumour init?"

"Whatever, it just means more work for us this year, more searches an' that. Won't be happy till this rebellion's crushed, ey?" they moved on but I found myself still breathing heavily, the Queen had found a girl, what if it was Shaylee.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here!" A voice behind us made us both turn quickly, Tyler pulled a dagger from his belt. Whoever had spoken was still in the shadows, "Well if it isn't Ty', how you doin' mate?" the voice stepped forward, to show a man, around Tyler's age. He had the brightest green eyes I had ever seen, and his long blonde hair was kept off his pale face by small plaits in it. It was then that I noticed his ears, they were pointed, this of course meant he wasn't a man at all, but a fairy.

"Finley, well, I was hoping to find you!" Tyler laughed,

"I'll just bet you were!" His eyes turned to me, "Wow, and who is this beautiful young lady ey?" He wiggled his eyebrows at Tyler,

"I am Princess Kayla, of Galidren, and I would have it that you do not speak of me in that way, Finley of Hadanim,"

He bowed, a long sweeping one, that made me want to laugh, "Well, I am sorry, Princess Kayla, I didn't know that old Ty here had..."

"Come on Finley," Tyler interrupted, "We need somewhere to stay for the night, and clothes for Kayla,"

"I'll take you to the Stables, it's the only place left for us lot now, since the last Clearing."

"Stables? Clearing?" I asked, wondering why these were said as if they had capital letters,

"That's talk for around a fire, so you can see when we get there, all will be explained!" he said, chuckling as he led us off down the alley.

The Stables turned out to be an inn, and it was the place where people of the rebellion could meet.

"The crowd has shrunk, where is everyone?" Tyler asked, as they showed me to a room where I could change,

"The goblins found out about a meeting and slaughtered everyone, I wasn't there luckily, but my father was."

"Who is leading the rebellion now?" Tyler asked, shocked,

"Me" Finley said simply, "Here Princess, this is your room, when you are ready, come down, it is perfectly safe here," I wasn't sure I believed him, I was sure that the people at that last meeting had thought that too, and look where they were now.

I was in a small room, with a simple bed, wardrobe and mirror. There was also a small door that led to a tiny bathroom, not much more than a sink and another mirror. I changed into the clothes they had given me, and washed my face. I looked at myself in the mirror. I was wearing a pair of loose trousers and a baggy shirt, my hair, which looked rather dishevelled, was loose and to my waist. I didn't look like a boy, although my figure was not exactly very curvy, my hair still made me look like a girl. Although it was not as long as Finley's, it was much wavier, and just seemed like woman's hair. I wasn't sure what they would make me do with it, it was my pride and joy, I didn't think I could bear to cut it. But I had said I would do anything to save my sister, and I would.

I tied it into a bun, and headed downstairs. There was a large (to me anyway) group of men sitting around a fire and drinking, although some were laughing and joking, a lot were sitting sombrely, or in great discussions with each other. I found Tyler and Finley with my eyes, they were sitting aside from the others, having a whispered discussion.

"Not interrupting am I?" I said walking over to them, they both looked up startled, and both took in my appearance,

Finley whistled, but Tyler frowned, "You still look like a girl,"

"I know that! It is not my fault, that your plan hasn't worked!"

"No I think it could, if we cut your hair perhaps," he obviously hadn't heard the warning tone in my voice,

"I knew you would say that, but I..."

"Look can I just interrupt your little lover's tiff," we both looked at Finley sharply, "oh! Death Glares, doesn't faze me actually, right you," He looked at me, "You have to cut your hair, and look like a boy, else you may be killed, and you" He looked at Tyler, "Go easy on her, poor girl is trying to find her sister," Both me and Tyler opened our mouths as if to argue, but closed them again, "Good," Finley said, "now I'll go and get some scissors,"

I sat down, and while waiting for him to return,I untied my hair. I wasn't sure how long it would take to grow back, but I knew that it would be too long. Finley arrived, with that grin of his,

"Don't look so grim you two!" he handed me the scissors, I took them and tried to cut it, I really tried, but I just couldn't do it.

"I can't do it!" I almost wailed, "please, don't make me do it to myself,"

"Give them here," Finley said, but he too paused over my hair, then I felt him open the scissors and bring them in. I jerked away, falling off the log I was sitting on, and finding myself on the floor. I stood up, feeling tears in my eyes, this was so stupid,

"I'm sorry, but I," Tyler stood up and grabbed me, pinning my arms, as Finley took another swipe at my hair, but still I managed to pull away, but he grabbed me yet again, pulling me even closer, this time though he kissed me, hard and unyielding, not letting me move. I was so shocked I couldn't even feel my head getting lighter as my precious hair was chopped away.

"Er, I'm done" Finley said and Tyler let me go,

"What do you think..."I began shouting,

"You needed to have your hair cut," Tyler interrupted me, "and it's not like you don't already hate me, so I thought, what the hell," and with that he marched off,

I looked at Finley, feeling shocked. Who would have thought that my first kiss would be from a servant.

A/N well hope the capitals are there this time! And obviously I hope you liked it! Please review!
