The Shadows of Royalty

Don't Mess With Me, or My Fist Will Be Socked in Your Face

 

"Rachel, I think that's enough, the bag is going to rip if you continue." Ashley sang as she nudged my arm.

I ignored her as I continued to kick it. I pulled up the holstered gun from my waistband and pulled the trigger 4 times in a row.

"Rachel, what the hell is wrong with you!!! Stop now!!"

I ignored Ashley as I tossed the gun to the floor when it was out of bullets. Anger built through me. How could he?!! I didn't dare to let my any tears betray my eye.

One last kick, only wood chips remained on the ground. Sweat trickled down my face as I felt the release of all the pressure that had built up on me.

Ashley stood there hands on her curvy hips." Are you done now?" She asked raising her brow as she scanned the disaster in the training room.

"When the prince sees this, I'm going walk away like I wasn't here." She said as she tossed her curly dark hair.

I clenched my jaw." When the prince comes in here, I'm going to tell him to shove a stick in his-"

" Rachel! Language!"

I rolled my eyes as she wrapped an arm around me. "I know, I'd probably shove a stake through his heart if he did that to me." She said.

." Thanks for reminding me." I retorted.

"That's why I'm your best friend you idiot."

"Second thoughts, lets now go outside where the soldiers do their morning routine." I say as I tuck a blade in the waistband of my sweats.

"I don't think were permitted to in there. But if means I get a free ticket to see the view of such beautiful creatures like them working out, hell ya!"

"You have serious problems Ashley."

" Yes I know."

I roll my eyes as we walk to the training grounds.

Flash back of last night.

Rachel's chambers
Rachel's POV

"Jamie," I cried as Ashley handed me some tissues.

"You need to give him time to think, Rae. He's not this toddler anymore."

I nod as Lizzy opens the door and walks in. "His highness will come right away until he finishes with this matter, relating about some of the trial nominees." She handed me a folded note.

I nod my head as Lizzy stood there awkwardly.

"Liz, you don't have to stay with me. You have the whole evening to yourself, and don't think of coming in here, ok?"

"But miss-"

"Nope, you deserve rest Lizzy. Now go before I push you out my self."

Her cheeks became a rosy color as Ashley giggled.

"Thank you." She says as glances at us one last time before she slipped through the doors.

"Well, I'm going to go shower and dress in my comfy pajamas, so toodles!" Ashley said as she sashayed out my room.

I look around my chambers to find that the disaster that had happened an hour ago was cleaned up. I walk around at observing the floor as memories flood back to me. Suddenly, something shiny gleamed from the side of my eye. My head whipped to the side as I got down to all fours and reached out. I gasped at what was before me. It was a golden chain with a charm. It wasn't mine, indeed. But it was deadly familiar. When my finger touched its smooth surface it suddenly glowed in response as it burned my fingers. I yelped as it dropped to the ground. Panic rushed through me. Where have I seen it, where have I seen it!???
