Lily's P.O.V

'Clang... Clang... Clang...' the sound of metal bells rang through my head as I hid below a low, stone wall. The sun had not even set since I left and they noticed. I guess that's what happens when you're Lillian, Princess of Persia,heir to the throne. The problem was that the French had unexpectedly attacked us and my family and I had no choice but to run. But the French had found us again. As they captured my family, my mother pushed me out and told me run, saying I was the last hope for the kingdom. I had watched in horror as my family was dragged,  kicking and screaming into the castle I once called home. I heard someone scream "There she is!", and my flight response kicked in. I closed my eyes and imagined a barn I saw once when I was out, I felt the shadows cover by body like a second skin as I dissolved into the darkness.

I landed head first into a pile of hay,"ohff" I should really practice my landings. I took in my surroundings, feeling light headed as usual when I teleport myself long distances. The barn has the usual stink of manure, and packs of hay behind, in front and around me. I lean back onto a short rod which jutted out of the wall, through the hay. I feel a scorching pain shoot through my back as soon as I make contact. "Curses!" It was made of iron, but I noticed too late as the pain became unbearable and the stable I was in faded out of focus.

My eyes fluttered open as I felt a wooden spoon in my mouth. The substance tasted something like liquid brownies as it slid down my throat. The person who was feeding me was a young girl about my age. Her dark brown hair was pulled into a high ponytail with strays framing her chocolate brown face. She was wearing all black, with a black long sleeve cotton shirt and black cotton pants. The girl seemed to be chanting words in an ancient language I didn't understand. Her dark chocolate eyes had a faint violet colour in them but it disappeared before I could make sure. I must be seeing things, maybe I hit my head harder than I thought.
"Excuse me." I said, my voice cracking.She smiled softly at me.
"Where am I?" I asked.
"I found you in my master's stable, unconscious. So I bought you to my house." Suddenly I remembered why and how I was here. I reached out and grabbed her hand,
"Did you inform anyone I was here?" I asked in a cautious voice.
"No your highness." I let out a huge sigh and physically relaxed, thankful no one knew where I was. I was surprised that the girl recognized me even though I was in disguise, but hey a princess is a princess right.

The girl then frowned and touched my forehead. "You're radiating dark magic" she muttered.
"I beg your pardon?" I asked not knowing if she was talking to me or herself, but before she could say anything the door flew open revealing a pudgy, angry, looking man. I quickly grabbed her hand again, imagined a small forest and in an instant  teleported us out of there. I clearly didn't think it through  because I didn't have any strength to remain conscious after I landed, since I've never teleported two people before.But the only thought that went through my head is that they found me I had to get out...

Natasha's P.O.V

Great, now thanks to a 'princess', I'm stranded out in the woods. I huffed and massaged my head with the palms of my hands, it was throbbing due to being teleported here. I knew the princess had some sort of magical powers but TELEPORTATION, and couldn't she have warned me before hand?! I looked at her unconscious body. She looked so tired, frail and weak. I didn't have time before but now I notice that her clothes don't look as well kept as a princess's should. Her white linen top had holes at the elbows with mud and dirt smudged in front. Her black cotton pants also had rips here and there like she fell down or was pushed off something. It would be easier to leave her and find my own way back but my subconscious wouldn't allow that. I cleared my mind and thought about what exactly I wanted to so. 'dleihm scigam' I chanted in a slight whisper as I stuck my hand out in front of me. I felt the power surge through my veins and come out, making it seem like it came out of thin air, in swirls of black and purple glitter type of thing, creating a invisible shield around me and the princess. I then imagined a invisible hand pick up the princess and face the woods. I drew a deep breath and started walking.

After about 20mins of trekking through the woods we came across a old, abandoned looking cottage. The tiled roof was covered in patches of green moss and creepers covered the cracked stone walls. The small windows were boarded up and the door was starting to fall of its hinges. I gently placed the girl on a small patch of grass. My head was throbbing from using so much power but I think I can use it one last time. Again I cleared my mind and thought about what I wanted.'taec tu ekat, ydih tc ekau. ecalt ehp pm , esuot ehm pi naeln' My mum had taught me a spell to clean up the place, but I wasn't strong enough to reconstruct  the whole place but I guess this would do for now. Just like last time a swirl of black and purple came out of the palm of my hand, and soon the whole cottage was covered. Then suddenly the whole thing exploded in a array of colours, leaving behind a neater, less old looking cottage.

The small cottage now had flowers, ranging from red to yellow to blue to purple, adoring it. The cracks were now fixed and the door was back on its hinges. I was drained from doing such a big spell and the cottage in front of my eyes was stating to swim. I rubbed my eyes with a closed fist and turned towards to the princess on the ground. Her midnight black hair was spread out in the grass and there was bags underneath her closed eyelids. I signed and half carried, half dragged the princess in side. I placed her on one side of the queen size bed, which was inside a medium size room, with a 'ompff' and flopped onto the other. My head was throbbing, it felt like someone was hammering the inside of my head with a hammer. I was exhausted both physically and mentally. I had one, used a lot of my powers and two, was left a huge mess to clean up. I had to go back and erase the memory of that idiots' who barged into my house UNINVITED and saw us use "witchery" and if he told anyone, I would have to erase their mind as well AND find a new kingdom, and identity to hide in. With that in mind I drifted off into a dreamless sleep.

UNKOWN P.O.V
'Knock...knock...knock..' I signalled a guard to open the heavy wooden door. It opened with a loud 'CREAK' . The guards came in with the captives in tow. I look over and see one less person in the count. Anger pumped through my veins as I faced the guards. "WHERE IS SHE!!!" My voice thundered through out the silent room. No one answered but soon a brave soul stepped forward. I turned my glare onto the guard who spoke and waited for him to answer me. "Sh-he escaped m-my lord. I am s-sorry." He answered meekly, with his head so low it looked like it would snap if he bent any lower. With my anger fuelling my next moves I sped over to where the guard stood, and before anyone knew what I was doing, I grabbed my sword and stabbed him, lifting him into the air. I then withdrew it and let his body fall limply to the ground. I returned my blood covered sword to its sheath and turned towards everyone. "Go and find the girl. Failing to do so will result in the same fate of you fellow comrade here." I commanded in a deadly calm voice. They murmured an agreement and left silently giving one last look at their fallen royal family. After she is caught the rest will follow, I thought as I faced the captives. " take them to the dungeons, they will be hanged tomorrow for all the kingdom to see." I said to the rest of the guards standing in attention. My gaze travelled along to line of prisoners and landed on a woman who looked a lot like the person who started it all. "And you will be first." And with that I smiled evilly and spun around leaving the room. Let the games begin....
