Fallen

Chapter 2

  

        I shot awake when I heard a noise. I looked around seeing no monster. I hide under the cozy box, hoping the monster was invisible. (Invisible monsters have a hard time seeing so they don't crouch to look under objects) Matthew walked into the room, he walked over to the table beside the box and pressed on a tiny box. The noise stopped. 'Princess?' He called out. 

He looks around. He then looks under the box. 'There you are, Why are you under the bed?' 

'I thought there was an invisible monster. So I hid under this 'bed' They hate crouching,' I answered. 

He stared and me weirdly then shrugged. 'Breakfast is ready,' He said. 

I followed him downstairs. On the table was a plate full of food. I sit down and cautiously take a bite, yummy. I eat it all up before he even sits down, I put the plate in the sink thing. I walk back upstairs to get changed. I come back downstairs to see him putting his dish away in the sink thing. 'Can you help me with something?' I asked, 

'What's that Princess?' 

'I need to get back home,' 

'Where are you from?'

The last time I said that I was going to be sent to the Asylum. I shiver at the thought. 
'It's not from this world,' I say. 'I'm from a place called Canok,' 

He stares at me, his eyes widened. 'You're from Canok?' He asked. 

I nodded, 'Wow. I've only met one of the Caokans in my life,' he adds.

'Really?' I asked.

He nods. 'Yeah, his name was Davis,' 

'I know Davis, or I used to know him. He disappeared last year,' I say. He was the son of Capo, the king of Dersley.

'He's still here,' Mark said.

'Really? Maybe he can help me get home,' I said.

Mark nodded. We started walking to where Davis lives. I look up at the sky, I wonder what everyone was doing. 

Matthew's POV (When Princess fell)

          Princess pushed Asher. What was she thinking? Asher called the others. A fight broke out when Princess wasn't looking Asher hit her with a dull spear. She was knocked off her dragon. I tried to catch her but I couldn't. She kept falling, the last thing I saw was a sphere forming around her. The fight stopped. Asher was freaking out. Corruption never starts wars unless needed. What Asher did was either a war or an agreement. Asher and the rest of the corruption flew away. I stayed with Easton looking over the edge. Easton grabbed my arms forcing them into ropes. I didn't resist, I just kept looking at the edge. He finally pulled me onto his dragon, we flew to Opar. To the palace. 

         'Your Highness,' Easton spoke, 'I have some bad news,'
The king nodded for him to continue. 'Princess fell over the edge. A fight broke out between us and some of the younger corruption,'

The king's eyes widened. Tears in his eyes. 'Who started this fight?' He asked. His voice steady.

'I don't know sir but Matthew son of Corrupt the king of Corruption requested to talk to her alone,' Easton answered. His face had no emotion. 

'Did you start this fight?' The king asked pointing to me. 

I shook my head. 'No sir. Princess did,' 

Easton was about to say something but the ing cut him off. 'Let me hear the whole story,'

'My younger brother, Asher was saying stuff that made her upset. She pushed him causing the fight,' I answered half truthfully.

'How did she fall?' 

'Asher shot a dulled spear at her. I know he would never mean for her to fall over the edge. He was aiming to make her fall off of her dragon,' 

'I see, I will be having a discussion with your father about this,' he says. 

I nodded. The guards took me to a prison, I sat down on the bed.  This wasn't my first time in the prison of Opar. My first was when I was about 6 or 7. 

Flashback
_-------------------_

            I flew away from the guards, complecated patterns to get them off my tail. Pretty simple really. One guard nearly caught me. I flew up making him crash into a wall. I laughed, a guard caught me off guard. He flew above me, his dragon grabbing me. I was so close. I was thrashing around to get away from them. They took me to the king, he would send me back after having a talk with my father. But for now, I am stuck in prison. I sat on the bed looking around. The prison isn't interesting at all. I was looking around when my eyes set upon a young girl at the door. She just stared at me. She couldn't be an elf. Not a gnome. She just stared at me with deep emerald eyes with ocean blue in it as well. 'Hi,' she said.

'uh hi? Who are you?' I asked.

'I am ...' She stops. I listen, footsteps. She hides in the darkest corner. A young elf came down with a torch.

'Have you seen a young girl with greenish blue eyes?' She asked.

I nodded. 'Ohe, the king said for her not to come down here,' 

She walked back upstairs. The girl came back out. 'So princess. Your dad doesn't want you down here?' I asked while smirking. 'Didn't know you were a princess,' 

'Yeah. My father is too overprotective. Doesn't want me getting close to Corruptions,' she says.

I look at her. She doesn't really look like a princess. Instead of a dress, she wore what training soldiers wore, black leggings, a white shirt and a shoulder belt for her tools. 'I'm Matthew by the way,' I say.

'Nice to meet you, Matthew. You can call me princess if you like,' she said. 'Everyone does,'

I hear the footsteps again. 'There you are, princess. Back upstairs,' Another elf shooed the princess away. She waved bye.

End of Flashback. 

I got caught again at age 12. We decided to meet up at the dragons den. We've gotten to know each other. We aren't too different, we both are the children of kings, we hate being told what to do and so on. Know she's gone. In the under. I looked at the door. Seeing little princess' face. It disappeared. I frowned, she was gone like that Davis, never to return. I hoped she would.
