"Miittcchhh I want to go back to bed..!" Alex whined as he was spread out on the couch.
"I'm not stopping you. I just need to do something, Prince." Alex whimpered and stayed on the couch.
"But I'll be lonely..!"
"I'll be back soon, I promise. I just need to figure this out, okay?!" Mitch was writing but stopped to look at him.
"Okay... Fine..." He disappeared upstairs and left Mitch downstairs.
Mitch had been trying to figure out what that girl was doing there. He mumbled to himself.
"She's just a normal girl? Right? But she can't be.. The soldiers would've taken her in. I know they would've. Is she working with them? Trying to find Alex? No. No. She's a kid. They wouldn't do that..." Mitch stood up harshly and put the paper away.
He walked outside and wandered around the town. He was asking people about the girl, them saying that they had never seen her. He headed to the castle.
"What are you doing here?" A soldier outside the castle hissed at him.
"I'm looking for a little girl. I saw her last night at my house and I want to know if you took her in." The soldier was "confused".
"There hasn't been any children that I've seen."
"I believe you are lying because you assume that I am with the Lost Prince, Alexander." The soldier stared at him with a bit of shock but mostly anger.
"We know he's with you. The armless boy is him."
"How would you know that? The prince must've changed a lot."
"You better bring him here than so the king can prove he isn'tAlexander." An evil grin crossed those face.
"It's his decision, not yours. He probably doesn't want to come because you will falsely accuse him of being the prince."
"Then we'll go there." They disappeared into the castle and Mitch ran off.
The door was already open when he got there. He slammed it shut behind him and heard someone upstairs. He ran up to see what it was. It was a girl, the one from the night before, looking over Alex.
"Who the fuck are you?!" The girl jumped and turned around.
"That isn't your business."
"You're in my fucking house!"
"That is correct. I'm trying to help you." Mitch was more confused than ever. "You need to get out of here. I want to help you do so."
"But answer my question first. Who are you?"
"I'll answer that later. Pick him up and we need to go." Mitch did so. He didn't know why he was trusting this child though. The girl lead them downstairs and outside. She brought them to the edge of the kingdom, it just all woods. "You need to trust
me with my instinct."
"We have nothing else to lose." Mitch followed the girl into the woods, Alex still asleep in his arms.
They finally came to a clearing, Mitch was panting and he stopped for a rest.
"What are you doing? We need to keep going."
"I'm the one carrying a person! I'm old."
"No youaren't. Just a little bit longer, come on." She started to walk again and Mitch followed slower than before.
