Assassin Prince

Chapter 3

Princess Eleanor woke up she saw horse hooves and a gravel pavement. She laid on her stomach on a horses saddle; her wrists where tied together. She looked to her left to see Zoran on a horse in front of her, he was tied the same way; his mask was still on but his hood was off. She looked back down. She didn't notice Zoran wake up. She heard the horse Zoran was on shriek, she looked at him; he had elbowed the horse in the rib. A guard came up to where Zoran was and grabbed Zoran's hair, "Do that again you'll be missing an arm."

Zoran looked to his right an saw Eleanor. She was looking at the palace in front of them, Zoran tuned to look at the castle and his eyes widened. "Welcome home Prince Zoran." Once they reached the castle a guard helped Eleanor off and stood behind her. Once they helped Zoran off, two guards put there hands on Zoran's shoulders. "Move!" They pushed Zoran and Eleanor forward.

"Zoran what do we do?" whispered Eleanor.

"Right now there is nothing, but I can think of a plan."

They entered the palace and walked up the stairs to Zoran's fathers room. His father was laying on the bed. "Zoran." his voice was weak, "I missed you my son." Zoran just looked at his father with anger, "Before I go...Zoran...I was to see you wear what your supposed to." he pointed to a princes outfit with a shaky finger.

The guards untied Zoran's wrists and gestured to a door. Zoran hesitated a grabbed the outfit and walked to the door and went inside. Zoran's father turned to looked at Eleanor and smiled. Zoran came back out straitening his shirt, "Well father."

His father sat up, "Remember when you were little and faked the you where hurt? I decided to try that." He looked at Eleanor, "Untie the princess."

The guards untied Eleanor. Zoran was just looking down. A guard ran into the room, "Your Majesty. Prince Alexander is here."

Zoran's dad walked out and Zoran followed. Eleanor started following them but Zoran stopped her, "They are looking for you. They don't know I'm the Ghost, so stay here." Eleanor just nodded. Zoran followed his dad downstairs.

His father looked at Prince Alexander, "Why are you here?"

"I'm looking for an assassin called Ghost, and a princess who's name is Eleanor." 

Zoran stepped forward, "Is the princess in love with you or someone else?"

"Of course she is in love withe me! Why would she love an assassin!"

Zoran clenched his hand into a fist, "Then she wouldn't have ran away with the assassin."

Alexander's eyes widened, "But-"

Zoran glared at Alexander, "Find the princess on your own. You don't need our help."

Alexander stomped his foot, "She ran away with an assassin, that's a crime!"

Zoran raised his voice higher than Alexander, "Is true love a crime?!"

Alexander looked at Zoran then his father. He turned around and left the castle. Zoran looked to his right Eleanor was there, she ran to him crying. He started to hold her in his arms swaying left to right. "Eleanor," he went down on one knee holding her hands in his, "I-I love you, and no one can take you away from me." She bent down to his level and kissed him gently, "I love you too."
