Commoners

Chapter 1

"What do you want? Fish, fish, and oh look at there fish!", Demitria says while looking into the sea with a knife thinking she's going to actually catch one like that.

"Dee, did we make the right choice?" She turns around and smirks at me,"Why? Do you want to kill me? Go ahead, I'm tired of listening to your atrocious singing."

I just laugh and act like everything's okay. Honestly, I just want to go back to my queen bed and my nanny making me breakfast. I want to go to my violin lessons with my teachers, and oh what i would give for those handsome boys begging for my attention again.

"Lu, quit drooling and walk back up with me to the camp." I touch my lip and cringe at the saliva drooping down my lip.

"Where have y'all been? I was getting worried.", asked our "leader" Jack. He seems tough, but he's honestly a very emotional and feely guy. I laugh as I watch Dee practically jump on him right there, but I mean who could blame her? He had the blonde hair and perfect teeth, the six-pack that he is not afraid to show, and his deep voice that makes you feel like he's going to protect you from air if he has too.

Not my type. Definitely my sisters though.

"Emily, are you okay?", He says looking at my sister.

"She just blushes and says,"Peachy." I just laugh as she walks away, but before I could follow her he stops me.

"Claire, can we talk?" As I just look at him he continues."I know this hasn't been easy for you, moving camps, but we are good people. We welcomed both of you with open arms, because we trusted you." "Why are you so unsure about us? About me?" He just looks at me with puppy dog eyes and that charming smile, and expects me to just beg for his forgiveness and show him I'm ready to be a "model camper". But I'm not. I don't know these people, and I don't know their ways it'll take time. I'm not ready to be fully involved in a place when I don't know exactly what they're involved in. I smile and look down and act like I'm blushing,"I'm sorry you're just so handsome it intimidates me. I just try to seem like a bitch to hide how I really feel about you." As I hear him clear his throat and say,"You done?" I look up sad and say,"That wasn't believable?" "You calling me handsome? Never Claire." As I laugh he does too and tells me to get dressed for dinner like I'm his five year old child.

As I walk to my hut I see my sister talking very heatedly with a girl name louise. They call her "Lou" so it's really hard to keep my identity a secret sometimes. As I walk over they notice and smile at each other very fake like. "What is going on? Y'all look like y'all want to slit each others throats."

Louise clears her throat and says,"Nothing. Just consider." As she walks away hurriedly I turn to look at a very troubled Dee. "Are you going to tell me what that was about?" "What does she want you to consider?"

She turns to look at me. "Her brother." I try act like that didn't hurt a little, but there was no denying chemistry between me and Clarke. That's why Louise wants her to be with him, so I wouldn't. I guess if you don't trust them they don't trust you.

"You need to start acting like you love it here, or you'll blow our cover." "So what if I do? We're princesses. If anything they should be overjoyed with our presence." She gives me a hard look and says,"Lu, they'll think we're spies and keep us hostage for supplies and food from the royalty."

I look down and sigh,"You're right,but how can I be myself if I can't be myself?" She looks at me and says,"That's the beauty of it. We don't have to be ourselves. You can be the "hard-ass" instead of the "brainiac". I smirk. "Don't you see Dee, I can be both."

As we walk to our room and continue to belittle each other some more we hear the horn blow. Intruder. We look at each other horrified and run to the gate. We see two of our guards, Clarke and Danny, drop someone down with their hands tied behind their back. "who do we have here?", ask Jack with a stern and low voice. As I see Clarke smirk, he picks up his head by his head and says, "Why we have no other than the king."

Me and Dee look at each other and I see Demitria start to tear up.

They captured my father. Once they get all the information they need, they're gonna kill him.

I look my father dead in the eye and before he could stop himself he says,"Luctavia?"

All eyes on me.

shit.
