Princess White

Chapter 1

Hi guys,

This is my first story ever so I want you to judge harshly. I am open to all suggestions.

I check my basket to check if the fresh bread and cake is still in there. I sigh in relief when it is still there. There are a lot of bandits around this area, so most of the time when poor people bring fresh food back the bandits steal the food. I start walking faster. I need to get this food to my family as soon as possible if I want to get to my house in time for my mother's birthday. Suddenly I see a slight movement in the trees. I stop in my tracks and look around. I hear the bushes rustling. Oh great. Wonderful the bandits have decided to greet me. I groan inwardly. I should never have drawn attention to myself. A man jumps out of the bushes. He is a big fat burly man. He has hair all over his hands and legs. His pants are torn near the bottom and his shirt is also torn. He smiles tauntingly at me Ew! His teeth are yellow. I start backing up hoping I don't have to fight. I bump into someone and turn around. There is another man behind me. He has the same features as the other one but is smaller. Also his hair is really long. I'm guessing they are brothers since they look alike.

"Well girly give us the fresh bread and cake" orders the smaller man.

"Brother you are wasting time with her. Just seize her and take the basket from her" growls the bigger brother.

"Quiet we'll do that if it comes to that. But I find it highly improper to fight women" says the smaller man. I snort. It sounds to me that they are underestimating women. Well I'll show them to never underestimate women again. I smile slyly and take out what they didn't see in the basket, a knife. As soon as I take it out they gasp. The smaller guy's eyes narrow.

"Hmm. Well it looks like I underestimated you. But you also underestimated us" drawls the smaller man. What could he possibly mean? He snaps his fingers and out comes out all the other men from behind the trees. Oh Gosh! I gasp. I recognize some of them. Some of them had tried to steal from me and I found a way to escape them. I only have a knife to fight these guys. I can't possibly defeat all of them.

" You are a really clever girl. We could use people with wits like you. So I'm giving you a choice, die or join us" says the smaller brother.

"Never in a million years will I join you dirty slugs" I snarl. The smaller brother's face turns really red. I know that he is angry. I'm glade I made him angry.

"Not only have you refused a once in a lifetime decision but you insulted us. You have such nerves" he hisses.

"You deserve to be insulted" I smirk.

"Attack" yells the smaller man. All the men start flying toward me. I have got to think of a way to pull this off now. What do they care about more than me? Then it hits me. They care about the food a lot more than me. When they aren't looking I take the bread and cake out and hide it in my clothes. Then I hold the basket over the lake next to me. Everyone immediately stops running toward me.

"That's right the fresh food is going to go into the lake" I say in a mocking voice.

"No" they start protesting.

"You already made your choice" I snarl. With that I dropped the basket into the lake. Everyone dives for into the water for the basket. I smirk. They were that dumb to jump into the lake. I look up at the sky and notice it is getting dark. I need to get to Rose's house to stay there for the night as soon as possible.
