Bounty of a Princess

Chapter two - His Morning

Being woken up to festival music and joyful screams was not how Trevor intended. He groaned and sat up stretching, rubbing his face and sitting in bed for a bit before huffing and deciding to get out of bed.

He walked to the trunk in front of the inn bed and opened it grabbing bandaging wrapping it around his wrists and torso. He then grabbed his black clothes, smelling them then shrugging deciding to just go ahead and wear them. Not that he had any other choice.

He yawned and grabbed his sword before heading out of the small inn he stayed at for the night. He wakes through the valley. Observing the people and what they was doing. Keeping himself on guard no matter what he was doing.

He pulled out the small piece of paper in his pocket and looked to it reading Keepers Tavern in his head and looking up seeing the building. He crumbled the paper and put it in his pocket again.

He slowly walked into the darkened tavern and walked up to the bar. He ordered a small glass of beer while waiting. The waiter at the bar poured the glass and slide it down to him.

He took a sip and as he set down the glass, the tavern door opened and everyone went quiet. A tall, black figure moved swiftly to the bar next to Trevor.

"Trevor correct?" The figure asked. "Depends on who's asking." Trevor responded. There was silence until the figure lightly placed a sheet of paper in front of them both.

Trevor swallowed the sip of beer he had in his mouth and looked at the paper. "The princess? What do y'all want with her?" He asked.

"She's of high value to the mistress Beck. So don't screw this up." Trevor chuckled. "Please. When have I ever failed a bounty job?. Besides. That's a lot of money and I'm in needing of it." He said sliding the reply glass over the to the waiter.

"Now how I'm going to go about this job will be the tough part." He said mostly to himself. The figure stood and silently left the tavern. Trevor sat there for a bit and thought about how he would even get close to the castle.

He knew this was going to be a tough challenge but that's just what he loves.

Trevor left the Tavern and walked through the valley streets slowly making his way towards the castle. He stopped when kids suddenly ran by in front of him. That's when her heard "Isn't that the princess?" His head whipped around to see a girl with short brown hair in a light purple dress. A gold crown on her head.

She got up and ran the opposite way. "Well this will be easier than I thought" he said to himself. He ran thought an ally way following the princess through other sides of the buildings. He finally reached an ally and waited for her to pass.

He grabbed her and placed his hand over her mouth waiting for everyone else to run by. He noticed how much shorter she was than him. Once everyone ran by, he grabbed her smaller hand and tugged a bit. "Come with me, I'll get ya out of here."
