The Last Heiress

Chapter 6

"Goodbye Captain" I said smiling

"You three Behave yourselfs" the Captain said looking at Tigress

"Dont worry Captain, I wont give them as bad a time" Tigress promised "I might give them worse" she said with a sly smile.

We said our goodbyes and thank yous to the crew and girls as we left

"Where are we going this time?" I asked

" To the next town, I have some friends there" Damon said

"Friends? The next town has changed, they might not be your friends anymore" Tigress said.

"Oh be quiet Tigress" Damon snapped. I laughed at their argument.

"Damon, you need to get used to getting teased, no more teasing for me" I said confident that he would stop teasing me now that he was being teased

"Princess you should learn to keep your thoughts to yourself" Damon said momentarily making me think I was in trouble.

"Why you! I have held my tongue for ten years, you don't know what it is like to not be able to speak my mind" i said "but i will only speak the necessary and some unnecessary sarcastic comments, and since you're not my dad you can't do anything about it"

"your feisty for a ten year old" Tigress said "I like it"

"Thank you Tigress" I said thinking back to the coronation and fight.

I had killed Vincint, should i have done that? I kept thinking on how all this was to be my death, maybe ReBecca has been setting traps up to catch and then kill me. She would do anything to be Queen, she was stubborn but she always led, in games she was ruler, i just went along with it as long as I was princess but now i was not ok with it. if ReBecca ruled like in the games we played then the Kingdom would totally rely on her and that meant things would go to her way only and that would slowly tear the kingdom apart.

"What do you think Adlin" Damon asked

"what?" I asked

"what do you think about not making trouble in the next town?" Damon asked annoyed

"it depends, I want whats best for my kingdom so if that includes killing to change the villages for the better than thats what we must do" I said certain of my job, my part to clean my kingdom of evil and ReBecca is going to die.

"well what the princess says goes" Tigress said satisfied.

"well I am her protector so no, you stay low, cause too much trouble and you will bring ReBecca attention to us " Damon said walking ahead not saying anything else, I thought but i saw that there were travelers up ahead, i put my hood on ducking my head as they passed

"did you hear, ReBecca is being crowned Queen tomorrow, she got permission after Princess Eadiline went missing. there are rumors that she will declare Eadiline a traitor" one said to the other

"ya, she fled from her family after they died, some think she set up the killing and then fled to make it look like she didn't." the other said as they passed us

I felt warm tears rolling down my face, ReBecca was cruel, heartless, and evil. i should have known she would play dirty.

"Eadiline, are you ok?" Tigress asked, i looked up. there were tears rolling down my cheek and i was trying hard not to make any sounds but there was a faint gasping sound "your cousin ReBecca would really do that?" Tigress asked sounding more like a mother than a pirate.

"She grew up knowing Cruelty, Tricks, Pain, and Suffering. i didn't but i will, i need to in order to fight ReBecca" i said Wiping my tears.

Damon was silent. of course he was, i was crying. Boys never know what to do when girls cry.

"We'll get her" Tigress assured her "i have some friends who can help train and fight with you" she offered

"lets meet these friends of yours" i said

"oh so you want to meet her friends and not mine?" Damon asked a little angry

"I never said that, Tigress said that" i replied

"whatever" Damon said and went back to being silent as we walked to the village.

"Eadiline, i have a friend a little older than you in the next village but she can be...harsh," Tigress explained "she can help you take insults and stuff like that as if it were a cotton ball thrown at you"

"i'd love to meet her, but how..um..harsh is she?" I asked a little uneasy about being insulted, or insulting back. i dont want to be cruel harsh or mean. i want to be a strong leader but not someone everyone fears.

"she isn't that bad, you'll meet her soon" Tigress said as we spotted the entrance to the village. it was in bad condition and you could hear fights going on.

"Um....ok this is where she is?" i asked uneasy

"Ya" Tigress said then whistled really loud and a girl with a black shirt red belt, grey pants, brown boots, Blonde hair with ears that almost blended in like Tigresses and a bushy tail swaying from side to side

"Eadiline meet Foxie. Foxie Eadiline" Tigress said

"Hey" Foxie said

"hi" I said "so you're one of Tigress's friends?" i asked

"Well i better be. oh hey Demon" Tigress said

"so you all have nicknames for Damon?" i asked

"ya. so what are you doing with the princess Tigress? got in trouble?" Foxie asked

"actually i came to her and please don't call me princess or Eadiline" i asked politely

"did you just say Please? Not in my town. from now on forget all manners" Foxie said. i was stunned

"ok" i said uneasy

"Foxie, don't go too hard on her. we are here to toughen her. not make her a monster" Tigress said

"i still dont like you guys teaching Eadiline any fighting skills" Damon said

"no one cares what you like Demon" Foxie said

"i want to fight but when i take back my kingdom i don't want to be a monster. i want to have some kindness for my people to love. i dont want them to love me out of fear, i want to be loved for kindness" i said

"uh fine, but first" Foxie said then punched my arm hard

"ow" i said and punched her back

"we need to work on your punch and you never say ow. unless you want to confuse your enemies, then you say ow and pretend to cry. it only works on boys though. after they try to comfort you if they do you either trip them or punch them or, you know lets just train" Foxie said and led me down to a huge building "this is my training center"

"wow, is it just you here?" I asked

"no, i don't live here, but i own this place, you could say i am boss of the town but to be honest there are some guys and a girl here that everyone is more scared of. they are bad news to the town" Foxie grunted "anyway, lets train"
