Chapter 3

I unlocked the door and pushed in her multiple bags of things. I have never owned as many things this girl. I sat down on her bed and looked into the Uncracked mirror. "You're lucky; mine and practically everyone else's mirrors are cracked." She shrugged.

"Well can you help me put away things?" I didn't want to, but I did. She had a lot of clothes. I mean A LOT. It's not even funny, it took a while. Then she curled her hair and fixed her floor length dress. She really was pretty, a natural pretty too.

"Now some of you may be aware of the girl that joined us here last night. Just from looking at her she is stunning, but she is no maid. We have made arrangements and no one is to question her actions. She is too be treated with respect, and if any of you try otherwise….there will be serve consequences." Capricorn threatened on the next to me. "Now, may I introduce to you all, Princess Jezebel Grey." I watched as she floated in looking like a Goddess. Authority blazed off her. There were gasps and murmurs in the crowd. She took her place next to Capricorn, all eyes on her. The boss leaned in and whispered something to her; she nodded and took a step forward.

"As you know my name is Jezebel. I am from a small country far from here. I was not pleased there so Basta took me to somewhere where I could be free. That's all I wanted. And hopefully I will get it." She paused and looked around for a brief moment, "And also I need a guide of the woods, someone who knows them well."

A boy I recognized as _ raised his arm quickly. "I know the woods, I'll take you." And it was true that kid was always going into the woods for hours on end. He was an odd one, but obedient and willing enough. Jezebel nodded thanks and returned to Capricorn.

"That is all, and please. Respect." He said seriously shaking his head and dismissed the people who seemed to quiver with fear. He really wasn't that bad, and I don't think that Jezebel thinks so either. I adore him, I can tell you she doesn't but will put up with him. She's a strong girl.

"Basta, take Jezebel to change in her room than escort her to the edge of the village to meet _. She should have no trouble with him, besides she can take care of herself." Capricorn looked calm, but still happy, which is rare, even showing emotion is rare. But there was one thing I noticed, neither mentioned the wedding arrangements.

"Your wearing that into the woods?" I gaped, who wears tight, tight, slightly ripped jeans, a lime green tank top that hugged her body, you could see every curve. It was disrespectful and forbidden back in our world for females to wear just pants!

"Calm down Basta. I'm putting a baggy black t-shirt over it." She said shaking her head. She reached into her dresser and found the shirt and put it on quickly. She tied the loose part to make it smaller and fit with a what she called a 'ponytail'. I don't think it came off a horse. I told her that and she just roared with laughter.

She grabbed her bow and arrow and then shut the door. I walked Jezebel across the village all eyes on her, the other men liked having a princess who wore whatever she wanted. I shook my head and continued down the road. There _ waited. I suspect Capricorn got someone to inform him, but he was hopping from foot to foot anxiously.

"_." I growled making him whip around with fear in his eyes. "Ready?" he nodded, and Jezebel smiled.

"P-r-r-r-rincess Jezebel." He stammered, she laughed.

"You can just call me Jezebel." She said shaking her head. I looked up to the sky, sun shining down, and few clouds. Good hunting weather.

"Well you to better be off, I have things to do." I muttered leaving.

"Basta!" I heard Jezebel call cheerfully from behind me. She had been gone about a hour. I turned and saw that she had a rabbit in her left hand and her bow in her right. "I though that you might want a foot….because you know, your superstitious." The black jacket snickered, but I nodded.

"How you gonna get the foot of the bunny sweetheart?" Cockerell asked smirking. Jezebel glared and took out her knife and cut of the paw quickly and handed it to me.

"Like that." Cockrell just stared in disbelief. "Does anyone else want one?" she asked looking around. Three others took them and she stalked of to clean the carcass. I followed her to Capricorns house. She went behind it, as I went inside the church.

"Do want the meat or the fur?" I asked him, he nodded.

"The girl is tough, we need her, and you and Jezebel can give the cook the meat." Capricorn said from his 'throne'. "And give Mortola the fur."

I went behind the house and Jezebel had the meat in her hand. "We were told to give to the cook." She nodded, after we had everything taken care of I asked her what happened in the woods.

"Well," she began "After you left we stood there for like five minutes not making eye contact. I glanced up to him and he was having a silent argument with himself. I started to giggle, he frowned then we were just laughing. Then we followed a trail _ made. We walked for a while in silence then I saw the rabbit. I put my finger to my lips and he got the message I shot it quickly then we just came back." She explained the laughed, "Nothing really happened."

"Basta! Capricorn wishes to see you both in the church immediately." Mortola snapped. I nodded and pushed Jezebel through the door.

Capricorn had no showing emotion on his face, "It has come to my attention, from the reactions of the men; Jezebel is going to needing an escort, that's your new job Basta. And Basta, you are to take the princess on a daily walk to the river. "We both nodded and left. Jezebel glared at me, hey, I'm not that keen on the idea either, I might end up doing something stupid.
