It was a hot summer day, but aren't they all? The birds were chirping, the sun beating down on those cold-blooded creatures resting on the scorching hot rocks. The big furry cats pouncing on medium sized animals, their teeth ripping into the flesh of their prey, blood gushing out of the smaller animal.

A thud could be heard as my feet hit the ground as I jumped from a tree branch, giggling "Tayson! C'mon, chase me!" A grunt and a thud could be heard as my friend, Tayson, jumped down from the tree, his feet hitting the ground before he broke into a run, heading straight for me. Letting out a shriek I turned and began running as fast as my little legs would take me.

"Tael!" Tayson shouted at me, his feet skidding to a stop. "Wha--" I was cut off as I ran smack dab into an armored male. Letting out a cry I fell back, landing on my ass with a loud thump. Tayson quickly ran over to me, pressing his lips to my ear and whispering, "Are you okay...? I tried to warn you.. I'm sorry."

Just as I turned my head to respond to Tayson the male let out an annoyed sigh. I turned my face to him, glaring up at him. "What's your god damned problem!"

His eyes widened, obviously not expecting this language from a 14 year old. "Excuse me," a new male snapped as he stepped forward. His big feet stomping on the ground as he came forward, "You do not speak to royalty like that!"

"Oh boo hoo," I began, standing and crossing my arms over my chest. "Get over yourself." The men let out a snort before lunging forward and grabbing both me and Tayson, letting out a shriek I began kicking and screaming.

Tayson looked at me, mouthing 'Tael, calm down, it'll be okay.' I just glared at him. The men walked a couple feet before harshly shoving us into the carriage they had.

Before I knew it they had held cloths against both of our faces, my eyes began shutting. Before I fell unconcious I heard one of the men say, "The prince will have fun with this one."
