We Stick Together

Chapter 1

All though many say none of what said here is fake doesn't mean it is. It all started when a prince ran away far from his homeland with his other two siblings who did not want to live their life with doubt.

----------------------------------------------

As the young man ran through the shadows, his other two companions followed breathing heavily not stopping. He could hear the hooves getting closer than before, as the three ran trough the woods they could hear the wolves howl to moon as it shined making a clear path for them to follow. The boy looked back he saw as the royal guards prepare their crossbows.

"Roll!" he yelled, his siblings hit the ground rolling as the boy ducked missing the bow by and inch. His siblings got back up and continued running beside him.

We're almost there, he thought, just a little more.

He then saw the mountain gleam in the moonlight. Their close, he can feel the freedom he has longed for, he has dreamt along with his siblings, he knows what's on the other side may kill him but it was the only way away from his past, from his problems, and his fear. He was interrupted when his sister pulled him to the side enough for the bow can miss, he saw his sister pull him and their brother deeper into the woods, close to the mountains just as they were about to touch the rocks his brother fell to the ground a bow sticking out on his left leg.

"Justin!" his sister yelped, he grabbed her and pulled her to the tree hiding in the shadows, in time before the guards closed in on Justin, all six gathered around the wounded prince.

"Luke, we gotta do something before they take him back to father." the princess pleaded to her twin brother Luke.

"I'm thinking Amelia." Luke whispered back at his sister, he watched as the guards picked up his brother dragging him to one of the horses. Luke slowly grabbed his sword and drew out a golden sword with designs on it circulating the blade, its leather hilt rough in Luke's hands. His sister Amelia got the idea and drew her bronze blade with a symbol of a cross.

"On three." Luke whispered. They watched as one of the guards kneed their brother in the stomach.

"Three!" Amelia shouted heading straight toward one of the guards, Luke followed her example and charged toward the two guards who were holding Justin. Justin then drew out his silver sword, he limped toward the guard behind his older sister Amelia, who was dodging every strike the guard with blue eyes. Luke already killed the two guards he was fighting and was now fighting the last guards with his siblings by his side.

Amelia stabbed the man though the gut, Justin hit the guard's sword out of his arm and stabbed the young man through the heart, and Luke stabbed the brown eyed man in the neck and sliced his head clean off. As the head fell off the man's blood spilled on Luke's face and blouse, making him smile manically.

Blood, he thought, red blood. More I want-

"...more." Luke whispered to himself, Amelia and Justin looked at their brother in horror but slowly sighed and walked ( or limped ) to his side.

"That's enough Luke." Amelia whispered softly.

------------------------------------------------

Luke woke up to the bright morning, last night they climbed the mountain and rested when they made it to the top. Luke sat up and found his siblings still sleeping.

Luke watched Amelia sleep with her brown hair on her face and her soft peach skin covered in dirt and soot from the fire, they've been through so much he's thankful to have him. He then turned to Justin who was sleeping near by his dark black hair covering his eyes and his caramel skin covered in leaves, dirt, and soot, Luke remembered the first day they adopted him as a peasant stealing and running away from trouble.

Luke sighed and looked in the distant watching the sun rise from the east but that didn't take his breath away, what took his breath away was the kingdom bellow. The kingdom of peace, freedom, and fairness, this is the place where they can live peacefully and away from the past, this is their home now.

"Sapphire Kingdom..."Luke whispered to himself breathing in the summer air.
