Long live the king

Chapter two

( Ryan's P.O.V)
"It's 3 a.m. why the hell am I up" I mumble in my half awake state. My thoughts keep going to the new Hispanic-man in the knights quarters. why was he stuck in my head out of all people a peasant, I was raise better. These thoughts linger in my head for hours, I finally had enough and went for a walk in the garden. By this time it was about 5 so the sun was just coming up and covered the whole garden in a pink tint which I have to say is quite pretty. I stroll the garden till I go to the "rose corner" which is just four rose bushes that form a corner. I like to go her to think , and I guess I was not the only one cause there was a figure laying there quietly sobbing. I slowly walk over to the figure and grab there shoulder, when they flinch I grasp there  shoulder harder till they turned to face me. "Ray?"I ask more scarred then mad, he practically jumps into my arms sobbing harder into my shoulder. my face turns red when he drapes his arms over my neck.

"Ray......What happened" I whispered in his ear. he says nothing for a while so I try my best to comfort him. We sit there for what's seems like hours till ray's tear subsided. He looks up at me with red puffy eyes and says "Ryan I'm scared" he then just hugged me tighter then before, we stayed like this for a while.why was he scared ? I asked my self over and over again till I finally was able to form words.
"Why" I whisper to the young male in my arms. I hand nothing to say to him what were you supposed to say to someone this position?
" because........ I was and always will be the weak loser with no friends and no fighting abilities" he finished almost in tears again.
Is this why his so upset? I thought to my self still hugging Ray. I hate to admit it but it was king of nice.
(Ray's P.O.V)
            " because........ I was and always will be the weak loser with no friends and no fighting abilities" I finish on the verge of tears. I was never the 'cool kid' in school always left behind never liked. I never liked groups because the groups never liked me, so though school and basically my  whole life I've been left out, so how could be I become a knight I am Scrawny and weak. Why couldn't he have just thrown me in the dungeon to right away ? He must care about me in someway tight, he is out he holding me at 4 in the morning. I thought to my self, but my train of thought was cut of by sudden movement. Now I was one a bed not my cold hard bed in my quarter , but a real comfortable fluffy bed with silk sheets. With in a minute of lying on those sheets I was out. I wake up to the lights coming in through the big velvet curtains, I then realized that I'm in a big room with velvet and gold highlights throughout the room. With a chair against the wall , the chair had a dark figure in it. Before I can say a word the figure stands and comes out of the darkness. The king what a fucking surprise, this king Ryan was by far my favorite by looks and attitude. I mean damm the king had deep blue eyes that went on forever and dark blonde hair , this man was everything anyone could want. I might want him to, I was again was snapped out of my daydream by a hand waving in front of my face an a voice saying " hello..... hello?" Oh and did I mention his deep voice. I blink a few times the focused on him when he saw he had my full attention he continued,"Ray.... What happened last night" he asked this like a father would to consider to think about anything else just you in that moment.
          "Ryan I am not athletic nor smart , but I know we're I belong in this world. It's with the outcast, why do you think they found me on the outskirts of town" I finished he just started at me. I know he knows that I can't fight or do much at all, but he looks at me with such sympathy and love.

   "okay" after saying this he got up from his place on the bed and walled to the wardrobe in the corner, and opened it after staring in it for a while he pulled out a pair of burlap pants and a thin cloth shirt just like what the peasants wear. After he stud there for a few second handing them and just thinking he handed them to me, well more like thrown at me, I held them for a few moments till looked at the tag, "James" who the hell is James, I though to my self till I was interrupted by Ryan's voice, " these are my old clothes from when I was one of you," he says and turns round and walks to the door and leaves. Leaving me to change into the cloths I was given. the pants were so big they were practically  falling of me petite body, and the shirt so lose I looked like I was a dressed up like a ghost.  I walk out the room to be greeted by nothingness just the padre of mice in the walls, I slowly walk to my room and lay on the hard cold bed, I would rather still be in the kings bed but no, I laid there for a hard minute till there was a nock on the door. I slowly drag my body to the door and turned the handle to see a bright eyed jack  with is thick red beard even more frizzy then before. I role my eyes and motion him to sit on the stool next to the bed.

(Jack's P.O.V)

   I woke up earlier  to day to get Ray ready for his first day as a knight in training. I'm not training him , I just the book keeper for the kings. Michael will be the one to train ray, this will be his first job after Gavin's exiled, he took it horribly when Gavin was took from him as he would say. What were you sopost to sat to someone in that situation? I stroll to Ray's room and knock lightly on the door, when he answers the door he looks tired and sad. He motions me to sit on the stool near his bed, I sit on the short stool while he sits on the edge of his bed. I know there's something wrong with him and he knows I'm not leaving till he tells me, "Ray" I say this and just stare into his eyes. His eyes are full of sorrow and sadness, what has this boy gone through that's all I can think about till he breaks the silent.

"Jack I.........can't go today" Ray said this with fear in his voice, I look at him with a confused look and he broke our stare by looking at his arm. he knows that I'm still staring at him, if he doesn't do this the king will kill him. I grab his shoulder and he looks up at me, he knew what I was going to tell him. He slowly got up and walked out of the room behind me with his head down. we walked to the training field to meet Michael Ray seamed very intimated by Michaels rough outside but inside he is so sad . I still think its to early for him to continue work , but the mad king orders. Ray looks at me with sorrow in his eyes, as I turn and walk back to my small desk in the throne room.

(Michael's P.O.V)

Look at this pitiful soul, what am I so post to do with Ray let him get killed, I thought to my self as Jack left. This guy looks so sad and hollow why the hell do I have to train him ,I'm fine just let mogar fight. Ray was skin and bones, and looked so unhappy. " Okay, first things first , combat," I say and Ray looks at me with the strangest look, like I didn't have a head.

" I'm not fighting you," He snaps back, like a teenage girl. I did not answer, I will not get into argument with a peasant like himself. I role my eye's and throw him an iron sword, and pull out my diamond sword and pointed it at his stomach, he flinches and lets the iron sword drop to the ground. I role my eye and signal him to pick up his sword, and he dose his arms were so weak he could almost not hold it up. I circle him twice and clash ours sword together , he grunts and drops his sword. Are you serious, how weak is this kid I can't do this. after finishing my thought I put my sword away and walked off to my lonely room. with out Gavin our room is dark and quite, god I miss him.
