Amy's pov
"You will marry him!" My dad yelled at me.
"I don't want to marry him, I don't even know him."
"Your job as princess is too marry the prince and start a family with him."
"Listen to yourself! You are forcing me into doing something I don't want to do!"
"This is why I didn't want her hanging out with that boy." He looked at my mom. "But you wanted her to have a friend."
"Mark has nothing to do with this! He doesn't even know about this." I said, " I don't want to marry this guy, I never even met him. I don't know his name!"
"You will marry him for your village."
"And if I don't?"
"Then you are no daughter of mine."
I got out of my chair and ran out of the room.
"AMY! GET BACK HERE!" My father yelled but I kept running.
I ran out of the castle and down the hill, my dad had people chasing after me I took a shortcut and hid in a bush. They ran past me, once I knew they were long gone I snuck out and ran to Mark's house.
"Princess Amy." His mom bowled at the door.
"Please don't do that, I know you are being nice but um, Is Mark here?"
"He is out in the back."
"Thank you." I rushed to the back.
"Amy? You look like you were crying."
"I need a hug."
He pulled me in.
"I need to hide, my dad has a bunch of people looking for me."
"I know a place." He took my hand and we ran to an old cave we used to play in when we were younger. "They don't know about this place."
"They are forcing me to marry the prince across the water."
"What? No, they can't do that."
"Dad said that if I don't do it then I am no longer his daughter."
"This is bull! You don't even know the guy! What if he is like 50 some years old?"
"THANK YOU! I am so scared."
He wrapped his arms around me holding me tight.
"He thinks that you are the one telling me not to do this."
"Your dad has never liked me."
"But your so sweet and you protect me."
"But I am not royal."
I didn't say anything, I knew that was the reason. My dad feels that anyone under us in status is not someone we should be around. But I don't believe that. We are all the same.
"How long are you going to be hiding?"
"Not too long, I would sneak up back into my room and act like I was there all night but he might come after you."
"Over here! There is a cave she would run too."
"Shit! That is my dad. How does he know about this place."
"We need to get out of here."
We ran out of the cave and up the hill, I turned around and saw them heading into the cave.
"We need to get out of here, if he is going in there then he already went to my house. Hopefully, my mom told them and they didn't have to hurt her."
