"i want to show you something." josh says lightly moving out of his mother's store. tyler follows questioning quietly.

the trees sway side to side. the wind seems to settle down when they walk deeper into the woods.
their voices dancing around them.
"are you going to tell me where we're going?" tyler complains.
"you'll see when we get there."
josh wanted to show tyler his treehouse, the one they talked about as kids.

there was something wrong. it felt wrong. a soft thumping was following close behind them. josh looked at tyler see if he noticed anything.
tyler kept talking about the cat he used to have back at his cousins castle. seemingly not knowing about the presence following them.

he waited for the person to come closer. not alerting tyler no need to make him panic.
josh kept taking as if nothing was wrong.
he'll think we're easy targets and get too close

that's exactly what happened.
josh was glad he always kept his bow on him. his fingers quickly ran over to the weapon.

pulling it up and snapping his arm around for an arrow. he locked eyes with the person following them.

he was a burly man. a thick beard placed upon his tanned face.
"josh wants going on?" the prince next to him wonders fear slightly tinted in his voice.
"he's been following us."

the man laughs
"it took you this long to notice, not as good as everyone thinks." a smug smile filled with twisted teeth set on his face.
"you really should learn how to actually hunt before giving people tips." josh says the hunter losing his smile.
"what do you want from us?" tyler yells out unsure.

he's never been in a situation like this, but of course he hasn't he's a guarded prince.

"i was paid to follow you." bearded man says looking bored.
"by who?" tyler keeps asking the questions.
"not allowed to say."
josh quickly made it over to the man shoving the arrow in his face.
"answer him!"
"i can't!" the man says fear now evident on his face. josh turns his head toward tyler for only a second seeing that fear is also on his beautiful face.
josh points his best weapon down and fires.
