Life Out of the Woods

Chapter 1

I'm hungry ok, I'm freaking starving. I've been in this crate for god knows long and these people don't even have the decency to give me a little bit of the mouth-watering feast they're eating up in this carriage. If only that idiot of a prince hadn't caught me with his 'impeccable' hearing than I would've been underground hauling all those precious jewels and trinkets, and they'll only be angry for a tad bit then buy even more in like five seconds because there royalty and apparently if your the royal family of Elvirania your filthy rich, weird right.

This day started out pretty normally, a little birdie coloured green told me there was a carriage that had all the riches and jewels you could imagine in it and it was going to pass my little hideout in the middle of the forest a little over the morning and to get ready (literally cause I can talk to birds). So I bounced off the dirt floor and walked over to my stuff. "Do I got my knives, check, my sack, check, and my amazing good looks, obviously is that even a question," I muttered as I packed everything up. When It was time to "borrow" as I like to say, their sparkling treasures I pulled a string that let down a wooden ladder which I then climbed up swiftly and silently trying not to make a noise right before I saw it. Outside
the bush I quickly ran into to hide in was a carriage, but as I looked closer I could see a fancy golden carved symbol. The symbol had elviranian amour in the middle, two swords going diagonally across and vines on the outside making a shield shape. That's when I realised that this wasn't any ordinary carriage it was the royal carriage which I dare say could be carrying the royal family.

'Jackpot' I thought as I ran as fast as I could, then jumping on the carriage commending myself for not making a noise. But just as I carried the heavy, heavy chest of treasures and put it in my sack a head popped out of the carriage window. The head had medium length wavy dark midnight black hair, striking green eyes that could pierce your soul, and at that moment the person who I could see was a male had a confused and horrified expression that weirdly looked good on his face.

"Wait what the hell are you doing up there, this is your prince speaking, you're not supposed to be up there in, guards get that scoundrel!" he shouted in a very angry and confused voice. "Wait, scoundrel? you royals really are stuck ups and for the record, I'm just borrowing these," I taunted as I quickly hopped down the top of the carriage with the chest in the sack but the second I hit the ground I was surrounded by big, bulky guards which I miraculously didn't see nor did they with me. In my head, I was so sure I could take them on and still probably could if it wasn't that the bag of jewels that was so heavy I could barely carry it.

They put me in itchy, metal cuffs and in front of the carriage window when his royal princeyness looked at me with a smug smile and said, "As you can see I have impeccable hearing so next time you try to 'borrow' after your time in jail try to be a little quieter, guards put this thief in the crate till we get in the palace then she will face trial, and miss I hope you had a good breakfast because we're going to be riding for a long time so I advise you get comfy."

And that's where I'm at now, hungry, uncomfortable and at the moment very pissed but as I looked through the small hole in the crate I saw a huge, beautiful castle and I knew then my fate would be decided very soon.
