Sunlilly: When history repeats

Chapter 3: Taken

I was 10 when I was taken, it was a normal day, I was at the tower making food for Mother,she was lying on the couch and frankly not doing to well, i rarely healed her so it was nothing new but this was different, she could barely move and was practically limp... should have taken it as an omen because suddenly i heard yelling coming from the entrance window
"Gothel! By order of king Adam of Auradon we demand you return Princess Raina to Auradon"
"Princess?"
I thought. Mother propped herself up on the couch
"Raina... go see who that is"
I go up to the window making sure I'm out of sight and I see a group of at least 10 men in yellow three piece suits with the auradon crest embroidered on the right side of their jackets... They were guards. I bolted upstairs throwing on a black t-shirt and jeans under my leather jacket, i grabbed my satchel and threw in the money I had from the dresser drawer, a dagger, and a little stuffed rabbit, i was braiding my hair as fast as I could when i heard the guards scaling the wall and mother yelling for me
"Raina! Where did you go! You're not leaving!!"
She screamed, i had to escape, I wasn't gonna let those men take me so i climbed onto my dresser and grabbed onto a low support beam going higher and higher until i reached a small window, undoing it's latch i slid out trying to pull the 37ft of unbraided hair up from the beams and tying it to a loose nail in the window when one of the men barged in
"Princess Raina! By order of king Adam you are to return to Auradon!"
He yelled up to me, i then jumped out the window praying to the gods that nail would hold my weight, I made it close to the ground when i saw more guards coming from the side, i took my dagger and cut off the supporting strands of hair and fell to the ground making a mad dash through the woods quickly continuing to braid as i went with guards hot on my tail. I ran into town weaving through crowds as I finished the braid and tied it off, the guards, still yelling after me get closer and closer until i reach a fire escape on a nearby building, quickly climbing up i see i'm a good runs away from the jolly roger, perfect, sliding down a nearby water pipe i make a run for the ship as the guards are still climbing up. I get to the ship and see Harry swabbing the deck
"Hide me!"
I scream looking back to make sure the guards aren't getting to close
"What?"
He asks
"What's going on?"
"No time to explain! But... the short... version, I'm being... chased and need... a place to hide"
I say trying to catch my breath, Harry takes me below deck and has me hide behind a pile of crates and barrels, I crouch behind them, panting and trembling, why are they after me? What do they want with me? Do they know I can use magic? Why do they keep calling me princess? I suddenly hear multiple footsteps coming from the deck... Guards, I start looking for a way out but it's no use, the guards come below deck and have me cornered... there's only one way out; I grab my dagger and quickly stab two guards in the thigh and run grabbing harry on my way out
"What's happening!? Why are auradon guards chasing you!?"
He yells as we run off the docks
"I don't know!"
I scream back. We run for what felt like hours trying our best to evade the guards, we eventually make it to an old garage under the pier, we don't see any sign of the guards so we stop to catch our breaths
"Ok...what's going on?"
Harry asks
"I don't know, all I know is their from auradon, and they keep calling me princess"
Harry stares at me in shock
"...Princess? They think you're a princess?"
"I guess? But i'm not buying it"
Harry pauses for a minute, looking me up and down
"I mean...it's a possibility"
He says
"What! No!"
"Well it kinda makes sense! You can do magic and evil magic doesn't work here, and I highly doubt you came from gothel"
I was about to disbute but then I started connecting the dots and...
"Holy shit you're right"
I gasp
"But i'm still not leaving...I'm not leaving jay and mal, the isle...you"
I whispered that last one and I could feel my face get warm
"What?"
Harry asks
"Well I mean, you're a "friend" I guess...and a good one so I'm not leaving you"
A smug look appears on Harry's face
"You sure it's not anything else?"
"Ok, i might have... rather strong feelings about you"
I allowed myself to let out a small laugh
"well...I might have rather strong feelings about you to"
He says, he holds one of my hands and we lock eyes, when suddenly...
"Princess! Stop running!"
Shit, suddenly three guards turn the corner into the garage and we have no place left to run, suddenly two guards run up to me and before I have time to react they take me by the arms and lift me off the ground so I can't run away
"What are you doing!"
I yell, flailing
"Princess Raina, by order of King Adam you are returning to Auradon with us"
"wh-what...NO!"
I try to reach for my dagger but it's no use, the men start running me out of the garage, still flailing in a desperate attempt at escape
"HARRY! HELP!"
I scream, he starts running towards me but then the third guard pulls out two gold bracelets with what looked like a spell engraved on them and he puts them on my wrists and suddenly there's only darkness.
