"I think I'm fang."
'People these days and their wierd names' I think to myself and really 'I think I Fang'?
"Is your name suppose mean something to me buddy" I ask sarcastically. "Um...I guess not..." He says clearly not getting my sarcasm. I roll my eyes at him ." Stop acting stupid with me and introduce yourself, by the way my name is Maxine, max for short."I say.
" I'm 100% serious", he says, voice laced with amusement. Then adds ,as if meeting up with an old friend, a greeting. "Hello Max, 'Fang' indeed is a nickname, my real name is Nick," he says. Then I do notice how this stranger and prince Nick look-alike. It hits me like cold water. I had only see the picture of the prince once and it was a fleeting look but I had a good memory. Nudge had been able to get the picture of the prince by... who knows how, I was totally uninterested then so I didn't think to ask her.
" As in Prince of Cascade?" I ask all the sarcasm gone ,and shock replacing it, from my voice.
" Yes that would be me," He smirks. What does Maxine Martinez do in a situation like this? She stays calm and finds the quickest way out.
" Cool but aren't you ,like, suppose to arrive tomorrow?" I stall while my eyes scan for an exit. Maybe I could punch him and knock him out make sure he didn't remember me... No that would only cause me trouble. I look back at the prince I didn't notice he had gone quiet and was, now, studying me like I was a new species of animal.
" My parents are getting here tomorrow I wanted a head start," he says, his face now full of distaste like the idea he would be getting married as soon as the princess was found was only a problem. I spotted Iggy walking down the other side of the road. He didn't notice me since a pretty blond was chattering his ear off. When I called his name out he seemed relived to see me.
" Well it was nice meeting you, Fang'" I say trying not to make air quotes with my hands, at his name. I started to turn around to leave when he stopped me.
" Wait! I just got here and don't know how to get around maybe ... you could show me around tomorrow?" he was hesitant to ask this but one meeting with the prince was enough for me. Iggy was still waiting for me with the chatty blonde across the street. I let him know I was not interested forgetting he was a prince.
" Don't you have one of those people who deal with tourist? Beside I have to help my aunt with something important..." I say bluntly. He looked disappointed. Then it hit me if he didn't know his way around... how the hell did he get to the middle of it?
" Well, it was nice meeting you but I have to go..." I look at him and put on a peasant smile." Goodbye." I turn and to leave walking as fast as I could toward Iggy and the blonde. Fang had defiantly creeped me out with his stupidity. It didn't help that he was royalty a person could be surely executed for smart talking to royalty. Once I reached Iggy I turned to see if he had left but he was still there look this way. Was it a bad to turn him down...? No he is soon to be married.
" Hey, Iggy, I was wondering if you would walk me home its getting dark soon." I cut off the story the bubbly blonde blond was telling. She glares at me. I glare back at her and then add ," Ella said she wanted to talk to you." He looks at the blonde and explains that needs to go because Ella was from work and that it was probably instructions about tomorrows schedule. She looked at him with a sickly sweet expression and said it was okay. the she added there was always tomorrow. Poor Iggy just nodded and said goodbye.
" What was that about? I thought we've been over going on random dates, Iggy." I tell him with a pointed look. I didn't want him going on random date partly because it's always the weirdos he attracts and partly because he and Ella were made for each other. As cheesy as it sounds it's the truth. Anyone could see that. Once he went on a date to the theater with a chick who's-name-I-don't-remember-at-the-moment he thought it would be funny to place a gas bomb in the boy's bathroom and ended up being scolded by his stranger date. When Ella was told this she burst out laughing. Afterwards they ended up on the couch talking about when he accidentally misplaced his pet turtle and woke up to find it on his face. Of course Ella already knew this because he had told the story many times before . It's funny how she still thinks that story is amusing.
" I'm leaving see'ya." I tell him. " Wait I thought you wanted me to walk you home," he stops me.
" Who do you think I am... I can take care of myself, I just said that to get Miss. clingy to leave." I lie. I decide not tell him about Fang." But seriously go visit Ella she seems stressed out a lot lately." I add and leave.
I go through the woods to the meadow close to the fence that separates the palace grounds to town. It's a lengthy walk. About 3 miles south but it's worth it. There are a lot of wild flowers around here so the air smells of daisies and Drummond phlox flowers. The Rose Angel and Wine Cup are my favorite from the mix. Rose Angels are colorful and are pretty common among the flowers and the Wine Cup is actually kind of like a Tulip but some idiot decided that it should be named differently.
I hear someone cough behind me and turn around to find three guards looking at me.
" MIss may we ask what you are doing out here?" says the first guard and then the second one speaks. " Were going to have to ask you to come with us." Well shit!
