Chilled the Royal Chaos

Chapter 9 The Escape

~Chilled/Anthony's POV~

Jordan and I ran through the forset in the direction of the mid-land. I was the first one there and saw GaLm with what looked like the whole population of the mid-land. I smile big and walk up to him, "Hey Glam." I greet him, "So... I did as you said." He said gesturing to all the people. I smile and look at him, "I'm glad, but there is something else I need help with." He glares at me, "What is it?" He asks. Jordan came up behind me and Galm's frown deepens, "If it means helping the prince. No deal." I roll my eyes, "Well, it involves him a little." Galm's eye give me a I hate you, vibe, "Look, all of you are a great people that make up a chunk of land. Prince Jordan here, really does not like his life as a prince. He rather help us then rule after his dad." A slight mumbling started spreading through the crowd, "I got the whole land in a pickle and now I need your guys's help to get me out." After I said that, I knew I said something wrong, because Galm looked pissed.

"No deal. You got yourself into this mess. You can get yourself out." As Galm said that, I bit my lip, "But, listen! The low landers have been captured and we need to rescue them!" I tried to reason, "It doesn't matter if it was your sister that was captured. This is your problem." I look at the ground, "You know what? Fine." I look up at all the people, "I'll go save the low landers myself, while this selfish prick learns to get his priorities straight." I decalred while pointing at Galm. I storm off towards the castle.

~Jordan/Kootra's POV~

"IS HE INSANE!?" I scream at particulary no one. I start to pace back and forth. I bite my nails and Galm finally stops me, "What's the matter dude?" I stare at his face, blankly, "What's the matter? WHAT THE MATTER!? Oh you know nothing is the matter, EXCEPT FOR A SELFISH PRICK THAT WON'T HELP CHILLED BECAUSE HE CAN 'fix it on his own'." I mocked. Galm rolls his eyes, "Yeah yeah. Well it's true. There isn't no problem in the whole world that can't be fixed." I look him dead in the eyes and place on hand on his shoulder, "Yeah sure. But some problems. You just need help with."

Galm just sorta stared blankly at me until he came to realization, "Holy shit..." He said quietly, "We gotta find Chilled." I nod and we take the whole populus of mid-land to the castle.

~Chilled/Anthony's POV~

'Solve my own problems. What bullshit.' I think as I run to the back of the castle. I hide on the edge of the castle corner and then peer behind the castle. No guards in sight. I run to one of the windows and climb in without any hesitation. I quickly look around to scope out the area, I am in the tea room. I look around and spot a door that should take me to the dining room which is crawling with distracted waiters and chefs. That's my only door to freedom though, so I run and quietly peek open the door, and I was right. In and out, in and out, waiters and chefs traveled through the doors to get the food prepared for dinner.

I crouch walk all the way to the table and slide myself under the table cloth. I lay down flat on the floor and lift the cloth up to spot a door that must lead to the main room. I glance back and forth with what little I can see and as soon as I see my opportunity, I run. I heard someone question my name, and before they could do anything else, I opened the door a small bit and slipped through.

I took off the general direction of the dungeons, not caring if anyone else spotted me. I ran through halls, through grand rooms, and passed by many doors before getting to an old dark wooden one. I bite my lip as I slowly open the door and slip in silently. I quietly step through, unaware of the horrid smell of the underground dungeon. I press on until I finally reach the bottom of the stairs, I forgot to mention. The basement of the palace was quite the opposite. I walked through, trying to be as silent as I can in case anyone was possibly listening. I passed many cages, many bars, all with one or two citizens in them. I continue on until I hear, "Chilled?" It was a weak voice. It was Ze's voice.

I looked around, "Chilled. I'm next to you." I look to my right and see Steven behind bars. He had red eyes, probably from crying, but nothing else. I sighed with relief and walked up to the cage. "Hey Ze. I've come to rescue you." Ze tilted his head a little, "But how did you pass all the guards?" He asked. I shrug, "I didn't see any." Ze's eyes glanced above me, then he went pale, "Are you sure?" He asked. I cocked my head and before I could say anything else, I was hit on the side of the head.

~Kootra/Jordan's POV~

We all marched through the highlands, not caring if anyone gave us looks, our main focus is freeing the low landers. I lead the group in my common folk attire. We all marched up to the moat, and I guess as soon as some of the highlanders noticed what we might be doing, they joined. We all marched strong inside the castle, trampling any guards that stood in our way. We all marched in unison as I led them in the general direction of the dungeon. Every guard that came, they were eraticated by someone in the group. No one was getting passed us.

I led them to an old dark wooden door and we all barged in. All I remember is running along with the crowd as we trample over guards, free people, and see the horrible disaster that is about to happen.

I freeze in my tracks as my dad was standing on a podium with two people dangling from ropes. I know those two people. "Chilled? Ze?" I question. Ze looks at me with desperate eyes, Chilled seems to be knocked out. "Ahh... Prince Jordan. How happy of you to join us." "What is going on!?" I yell at him. He semed a little surprised that I raised my voice, but his face stood firm, "Jordan. I want to make a deal with you. Depending on the person." I quietly stand and listen, "To save Prince Anthony's life, you have to let us arrest everyone here. You also have to never speak of this situation again. Ever." He explained. I nodded, "And for Ze?" He rolls his eyes, "To save Ze's life, and the rest of the populus, you have to let Prince Anthony die. You have to watch." I bit my lip and look between Ze and Chilled. Ze had a desperate face as I look at him, and Chilled was finally coming to. I stare at him as his eyes open and take a second to realize where he is. His eyes widen and he starts struggling.

My dad calms him down and quietly fills him in. Chilled looks at me with sad eyes, "Well, if it was me. I would save Ze. No offense." I rose my hand in dismissal. I look at Ze who seemed to already accept his fate. "Chilled." I say, He looks at me, "I want you to tell me why you wanted to come back and go to the lowlands." He smiles, "Well. When I was gone, I found this little kingdom called the BBK, and well. It's the kind of kingdom I want to run. Everyone is accepted there. As long as you are kind..." He explained. I nod and look at Ze. Seemed to be on the brink if tears.

After a moment I said, "I made my decision." My dad smiles and I take a deep breath. "My decision... Is me." I squeeze my eyes shut, "What?" My dad questions.
