17: Rule Breaker

My village was beautiful and I've been able to keep safe from the horrors of Pandora from inside of these walls, and by keeping the danger out. As the daughter of the Tsa'heik, my role has been simple, stay hidden and stay protected. I was allowed to learn of course, and practice the skills it takes to be a warrior but outside of that, it's been a prison. My mother is worried about all the things that could harm me, and my father only seems concerned about protecting his lineage to the throne.

My friends have kept me sane, relatively sane I guess but hearing about their adventures only makes me more anxious to step outside of these walls the day I take the throne. Until then, I'll have to keep enduring the stories of adventure that make me want to crawl out of my skin. We all sat around the fire, late at night after the village grew quiet and people were tucked into their canopies. Our laughs had to be making it difficult for everyone to sleep, Tashi and Ewak snuggled in together as the world's cutest couple while Sheme, Rocco, Landraya and I all teased them.

"Blah blah blah..I'm in love, muah muah muah," Rocco teased as Ewak pulled Tashi into his side. The couple laughed off the teasing and gave each other a quick peck, earning more fake gags from the group.

"Come on!" I said, "You didn't finish telling me about what happened at the river today," As much as the stories upset me, I always needed to know more.

Sheme gave me a quick laugh, "Okay, okay," she said, recrossing her legs, "So we were all swimming, as usual when we heard rustling in the bushes behind us. I wasn't scared but Rocco sure was." She gestured over to him and he rolled his eyes, I let out a little laugh. "We slowly got up trying to reach for the bows we left scattered along the bank, when Jake jumped out and scared the shit out of us before he jumped into the water with a huge cannon ball. He's ridiculous." They shared a scattered laugh, as my brows knit into a line.

"Jake," I thought outloud, "Is that-" Tashi cut me off.

"The other protected royalty," She giggled in Ewak's arms and I gave them an annoyed look.

"So he's the Tsa'heik's son?" I asked. Vigorous nodes were seen all over the circle.

"The kid's a rule breaker, always joining our adventures, talking about how much he hates the idea of ruling, irresponsible," Ewak paused, "You would hate him." Laughs broke out again.

"No I would not!" I said defensively, hoping someone would agree.

"I love you, but no, he is not just irresponsible, try cocky, arrogant, annoying," Landraya added her two cents and I was getting more annoyed by the second.

"You guys think I'm some stuck up bitch, huh?" I looked around the circle with a shocked smile on my face and they all moved their heads back and forth, expressing their agreement.

"Noooo.." Rocco said, unconvincingly.

"I can be fun, risky. I can be like Jake!" They all burst out laughing at that one. "Okay fine, maybe not exactly like him but I can at least be fun." They looked at me suspiciously, especially Sheme who kept throwing tiny pieces of wood into the fire.

"I'll prove it, time for a game of sneak and snatch," I said, standing up and encouraging them to do the same. Everyone stood up and Tashi wined as she was cut off from Ewak.

"Okay. Boundaries?" Landraya asked.

"No boundaries, only rule, you can't hide in the village," I said confidently as the rest of the group shook their heads.

"No, no, no, no, no, did I mention no," Rocco said and folded his arms, "I won't be responsible for loosing the golden child." Agreeing nods once again traveled between my friends.
