The Princess Bribe 4
Emily sat back from them when they were far from the prince. The two black clad men stood back.
"So..you want to know who were are?" the one who'd battled Kevin asked.
"Sure thing, my dear," the one who'd battled Mia nodded.
They both pulled off their shirts, pants, and shoes to reveal:
The 'Kevin one': A silver t-shirt, blue jeans, and tennis shoes.
The 'Mia one': A cotton gold shirt, kakis, and brown boots.
When they pulled off their masks and feathered hats, it revealed:
On the 'Kevin One': A playful face with brown hair and ice-sea eyes.
On the 'Mia One': A serious, yet kind, face with dirty blonde hair and kind ice eyes.
She stared at the blonde.
"W-W-Wesley?" she breathed, "but..but how.."
Then her amazed experastion turned to horror and fear.
"You're a ghost and dead!" she screamed, "go away!"
She shoved him away, down the hill.
"As…you…wish…" he yelled as he came down.
"He's alive," the other told her, "he defeated those pirates, came here, met me when he learned of you being kidnapped, and here we are."
"Oh, my dear Wesley what have done?" she rolled after him. At the bottom, she kissed him.
Sighing, the other one rolled down.
"Emily, this is my dear friend," Wesley told the girl, "his name is also Wesley."
"Nice to meet you," she shook his hand.
"Call me W," he smiled at her, "now, he is looking for you. We must flee to the village and then sail to the free land."
"As you both wish," she took Wesley's hand.
So, Wesley and W led Emily into the forest and guided her along. W was beat up but victorious over a rodent of unusual size, and Wesley had to dive in after her in very quick quicksand. Finally, they made it, muddy and sandy, beat up and bleeding, hungry and thirsty, but alive.
They recovered in Wesley's little home near the docks. Just as they were about to leave, all healed and packed with Emily in a red fluffy dress Wesley had sewn for her, the prince caught up.
The last Emily ever saw of W was him being carried off, Wesley pulling her to the shipping yards in silence, secret.
