"Run Rose, Let's run!" Alina said pulling me and forcing me to escape but I refused. The aim of doing this was to free the troll, not for escaping and I dashed towards the troll to free him. Moments after freeing him, the guards started to pull me away and hand cuffed me. "Let me go!" I shouted at the guard, struggling to set me self free.
"I know Karate. Don't make me use my skills against you."
"We've heard better excuses, miss."
"Don't say I haven't warned you."
I stabbed on both of their legs with my heels, thank God they weren't wearing a heavy armor, and kicked them in the stomach. "C'mon, this should slow them down." I grabbed the troll by his hand and ran to the entrance of the castle. Suddenly, two guards appeared at the door. Same ones that stopped us for our invitations.
"Where are you going, kid?"
"Out of this castle."
"Not today, kid."
The troll seemed to get mad, his green skin started to change into red and he became a giant troll. He bent down to the guards and growled in their faces that echoed in the whole hollows of the kingdom. The guards were speechless, they didn't know what to say..
"Um. Mint?"
The troll growled again and this time he knocked them out of the way; the guards blasted off in thin air and there was no sign of them.
"I didn't know trolls can do that."
"It's a trick I learned." The troll said with his deep voice and changing back to his normal form.
We started to run till we reached the middle of the forest and we heard horses galloping.
"They're coming for us. My lady, I don't know how if I can take them off by my self this time."
"I.. um.. Wait."
I touched a tree's log and started to whisper "I don't know if this is going to work but I really hope it does. I need you to help us, we need to hide from the guards that are following us.. My aim was good, I just wanted to free a slaved troll. Tree, please help us."
Right after whispering these words, one of the tree branches was wrapped around me from head to toe and disguised me in the form of a small tree while the Troll was disguised in a bush form.
"Where did they go?"
"We lost there sight."
"This can't be, keep looking. The king would want our heads if we don't find them."
The guards galloped away with their horses and as soon as they were out of sight, we were back to our human bodies.
"Thank you trees." I said.
-You're welcome, dear Princess-
"Come on, let's hide in my house." I said leading the way to my house.
Not long after, we were at the porch of my house but the door was locked. We knocked fiercely on the door and my parents opened the door for us.
"Roseheart! We were so worried! My dear daughter! Where were you?!" My mom said hugging me tight.
"Before asking me question, I want to ask YOU questions."
"What is it, dear?"
"How come you never told me I was adopted?"
"How did you..-"
"It doesn't matter right now, mom. I just wanna know."
"Roseheart dear, we were afraid you might not love us as your own parents. Plus, when we found you on the porch of our house.. you had a note on your blanket that was covering you saying: Her name is Roseheart, don't let her know she's adopted till it's time. She'll know on her own."
I went and hugged my adopted parents tight saying that "I always will forever love you mom and dad. No matter what, you were the people who took care of me and raised me. You'll always be my parents."
My mom started to burst in tears but I guess they were happy ones.
"So, Rose.. who's your little friend?"
"Oh he's um.. This is-"
"Pinochio" The troll said.
"I'm going to go change. I'll be down soon." I went up the stairs to my room and as soon as I opened the door, I was in a pitch black room.
"Rose.. I think you're ready."
"Ready for what?"
Roseguard appeared behind me putting her hand on my shoulder. "To go on your journey to free your kingomd, you need three important things."
"Gosh don't scare me like that! and what things?"
"You'll need-"
In the next chapter:
"The what?"
"It's a two sided."
"How is that?"
"It can destroy in less than a second."
