The Stable Boy

Chapter 1

"Your highness?" I sunddenly became aware that i had zoned out into my own little world of the weird and extraordinary. "Pardon?" i ask in hope the question would be repeated my mother just looks sternly across the long dining table right into my eyes. She begins to speak but stops then after a moments pause she says "I would hope that you would be listening to your husband to be" I flinch at the word husband of all the people my mother chooses to be my husband she chooses prince edmund one the most whiney , dull and spoilt people i have ever met and why do i need to get married anyway im 18 i have a life to live but no because i am the princess of costaluna i have to be married.

After that somewhat awkward lunch i went back to my chamber and changed into my riding gear and then headed of to the stables. I found my horse in her stable i brushed her down so that her dark chesnut got looked glossy and smart i saddled up and rode of into the woods. I felt the sun on my skin and i could hear the birds tweeting their cheerful tunes but then i hear a sound that was not coming from the forest around. A car appeared out of knowhere and shoots passed me thanfully my horse is very calm so she didn't scare and buck me of . Confused i decide to ride back to the stables i un-saddle my horse and rush back to the house.

I get changed into more comfortable clothing and find my mother in the throne knelt across my fathers throne crying. One of the throne room guards steps forward and in a soft tone says "im afraid that your father has been killed at sea his ship sank in the middle of the ocean" i stand for a second unable to move i can't take in what has just been said until i finally just wimper "he is dead" thats when i begin to feel the pain i run out of the throne room and head for the door to the gardens when i bumb into edmund who seems far to happy with himself. I stand and look at edmund waiting for him to say something comforting but all he says is "well now we can be crowned because your father is dead haaha" in pure rage i walk up to him and slap him square in the face and for good measure punch him in the stomach then push him out of the way and run for the door.

Once i get out of the palace i run into the woods and find the hole in the hedge that leads to a small garden i found as a child and sit on the swing my father made for me on the old oak tree. I finally feel alone and safe that is when i finally let go i let the tears roll down my face like a tidal wave i put my head in my hands and cry my eyes out until there is nothing left to cry. Then i feel empty just empty like there was nothing left my soul was broken into a million pieces my father the one man i trusted and felt my happiest with had been taken away from me so that i was left all alone to fend for myself. I took my tiara of my head and just stared at it the i was about to throw it in the pond when i heard a voice...
