A/N Hi and thank you for the reviews, Lins.2002 who is a first timer! And then of course Lady Of The Green Wood and MuggleBuddy! I hope you enjoy this chapter. Also when I wrote this the Goblin Queen was meant to be evil, but hey who knows, maybe she just has bad press? I shall have to see what happens, as I have no idea of what may happen!

The next morning I awoke after having the most uncomfortable sleep of my life. Not only had it taken me a while to get over the shock of being kissed and losing my hair, all in one night I may add, but to add to this the bed I had to sleep on was as hard as the ground, except it was also prickly because of the straw stuffed pillow!

The first thing I did was to look at my hair. All in all Finley had done quite a good job, if I was in fact a boy! It was only an inch or two long and it was now sticking up a lot after my restless night. I went into the bathroom and wet it down trying to smooth it a little at least. I put on my clothes and looked once again in the mirror. I did look quite like a boy, unless someone looked especially closely, and then I could pass for a feminine looking boy. It would have to do, I would not put up with any more changes!

I headed downstairs, for what I expected would be breakfast but actually it was just Finley and Tyler sitting on logs waiting for me. I didn't know how to react to Tyler, not only did he think I hated him, (which I don't I mean he is a servant that's why I treat him differently!) but also he had kissed me. But Finley sorted that out for me,

"Come along Princess! We have to set off early if we expect to get to the Goblin City, oh and we must think of a name for you, can't be calling you Princess or they may guess you're a girl! Well, maybe the goblins wouldn't, but the Queen certainly would!"

"What exactly is wrong with my name Finley?" I said, primly "And why are we going to the Goblin City, we should be looking for my sister!"

"Your name is a girls name! So that would kind of defeat the object of cutting your hair! So how about... Kai, yes similar to you own, and just call me Fin, I don't want people to know who I am, and Tyler can be Ty, since that's what I call him anyway!" He glanced at Tyler, I mean Ty "And we are going to the City because that's where your sister has been taken, or where we suspect she has anyway, Ty gave me a description and I sent word out, and a reliable source seems to think he has seen your sister being taken that way."

"Shaylee, she'll be..." I felt faint,

"No, don't worry, we have 3 days, The Queen always gives everyone a trial before they're executed, fair or not, and the goblins won't kill her because the Queen has ordered that she is to do that,"

So that is how I set off with Fin and Ty to the Goblin City. We had to cut mainly across country, and it would usually take around 5 days, so we were picking up horses which would speed up the journey considerably, but this would have to be done in the next village, where no-body knew Fin.

We walked quickly, at least thats how it felt to me, but I guess I am used to simply storlling through the woods with a royal party. Fin and Ty were finding it much easier, they were striding along, comfortable in their boots. I, who had only ever worn shoes fit for a princess was struggling, I had never worn anything like these heavy thick boots before. But I managed to keep up reasonably well... I think I did anyway.

We had been walking for what seemed like days but what was actually probably only hours when we happened upon the nearest village, Dougan. Fin took us to the stables there and he quickly hired us 3 horses, his was a tall black horse called Thunder, Ty got a grey, called Lightning, and I had a lovely piebald mare, named Maliha, which the owner informed me meant strong and beautiful. I just nodded, not wanting to give myself away, but I definatly agreed, the name suited her. Fin payed the man and helped me to saddle her up, teaching me along the way. When he had finished Ty had also saddled both Thunder and Lightning.

Once we were on the dust road, with no one aruond, I decided to start a conversation.

"So, Tyl... Ty," I could call them by their nicknames in my head, but outloud it was rather hard! "Erm, orignal names for your two horses," I was trying to deepen my voice a little, just as practise,

Ty just nodded, but Fin replied,

"Well we can't all be posh with horses with interesting names and deep voices like you now can we Kai?" I scowled at him and sped Maliha up into a canter. I had got a fair way when I heard someone behind me, then felt a sharp pull on my shirt. I gripped the reins to stop from falling,

"What do you think you're doing?" I shouted, and at the same time Ty shouted the same thing to me,

"Me?" We both exclaimed, I was beginning to think this may go on for a while when Fin rode up.

"Ok, obviously I am going to have break in here, Kai, why were you riding off?"

It took me a minute to remember that that was me, "You were making fun of me," I said lamely, "And well I don't expect that kind of thing from..."

"If your nextphrase is a mere something-or-other then don't bother finishing!" he interupted me, "Now Ty, why are you pulling her off?"

"She's stupid to ride off on her own, I mean anyone could be around, she needs to know we are in danger here!"

"I have a name, and I think I know we are in danger, it is my sister that may be killed!" I shouted at him,

"Fine, I was wrong, you were right, as usual Princess!" and then he began to ride off, the cheek of that boy! And of course I was right, why did I get the feeling he wasn't being completely sincere?

A/N sorry this is kind of short, I just wanted to update, but I'm kind of busy! I'll try and update soon, as it is the holidays! But please review!
