Princesses From Far Away Places

Chapter 1

~Jessie's POV~

I hop into the carriage. My mom followed behind, "Jesse, here you must act like a male. Queen Twilight doesn't like one gender dressed up as the other."

I nod and look out the window, "Mom I know but why must I have actual love for her daughter? It's stupid."

"Dear, you may choose to save her or not, but you may be her last hope of getting out of her tower!" My mother raised her voice.

"What about her..."

"Don't mention the servant. Queen Twilight doesn't like that either. The servant the was a witch and did witchcraft on her own child while Princess Katie was asleep!"

I shut my mouth and look at the fields we pasted. Katie, who was a true princess, I'm pretty sure anyways, was magical. She sounded like a person I would date, but not marry. I swam deep into my thoughts and soon we reached the outside territory of the Star Kingdom. I started a new train of thought about how this Katie might be. "Geez, how cold does it get in the Star Kingdom?" I say in the boyish voice I could do.

"Now Jesse, you don't need to sound like a boy! It is so unreal when you do it," My mother comments.

We reach the entrance of the castle and there stood a queen who was as skinny as someone could be with a crown with gems cut into the shapes of stars. She was Queen Twilight. My mother walks up to her and says something. The queen smiles and leads us towards the doors.

We walk to the dining room and sit down on one end of the table. One spot had burn marks you had to look closely at to see clearly. The burn marks spelled out Katie in baby scribble. Queen Twilight sat down and my mother sat next to her so I sat on the other side of Queen Twilight. "Tony," The queen started, and I could tell she was calling me the boy spelling of my name, "I am so glad you are going to save my dear daughter."

"I am happy to hear you are happy, your majesty!" I reply.

She smiles and hands me a map. "If you do go, the star is where she is, the circle is where you are. You go through the forest right outside of the castle grounds, then you head over a bridge. Now if you are lucky you might see her in the flower field playing, or you might have to head all the way up her tower. If you do have to go into her tower, be careful. She can hit you in the face with a pan."

I nod and take the map and ask to see when I should go. The queens talk for a moment then replies with, "Now will be great!"

I give them each a hug and set out for the forest.
