Why Do Roses Have Thorns?

Prince's POV:
One day a prince went into the village to see a girl he has had his eyes on for weeks now. He remembers the day they first met , when they ran into each other at the market , he remembered the sweet scent of her perfume, and he remembered the way she looked at him with fear . Fear of what though? That's what he couldn't understand . He thought about it what she might have thought , Did she think I was going to kill her? Did she think I would have banned her from the market to where she would come crawling for forgiveness? What was it ? When he got to the market he stayed in the darker areas so it wouldn't be obvious that he was looking for her and if she was afraid of him he didn't want to scare her off. After hours and hours of looking for her he was about to give up and just before he walked out he heard a deep male's voice calling for a girl named Catalina .

There she was, a fare skin , blue eyed , and red-haired beauty working hard to have a good life. He just had to talk to her , that's all he had to do was talk to her. But what would he say? As he was stuck in his own world completely and utterly mesmerized by this beautiful young woman he was blinded by the thought of words. To where he didn't notice the girl saying goodbye to everyone she saw and then slipping away into the ally. He quickly snapped back into reality and thought of his next move . He quickly followed her and just before he could catch up she went into a house . He stood in place wondering if maybe he should wait till she came out , if he should go to the door and ask for her , or if he should just walk away and give up. He went up to the door but then he heard a man with a deep voice and a woman with a frightened voice fighting. He felt like barging in save the day and then take her into his arms and tell her exactly how he feels but he cowardly started to walk away . Just before he passed the house he saw a window and the girl of his dreams quickly slammed the door , screamed into her hands and started to write in her journal.

The Girls POV:
I was so angry , NO! I was more than angry I was furious! Ever since my mother passed onto a better life with God , my dad has been a completely different person. I understand his sorrows and how he feels the need to take it out on others but why his own daughter? Why me? Doesn't he know I have my own griefs too ? Yes it's , hard but it was when I was just a young girl and my father lost his job at the market the only that could support us at that time was my uncle Ellington , but that was 13yrs. ago . I guess the only thing that made me forget the fact that my dad is being completely psychotic , there is a man that I had bumped into at the market.
He was obviously a royal cause he had the beautiful stallion, family crest blanket under the saddle, and I don't know if he noticed but two castle guards watching him from a distance. I know he and I would never have a chance but I feel as if he and I had a connection, the only problem was , was we weren't able to talk. I promised myself that very day the next times I saw him I would talk to him. But to just think about him made my heart melt , his blond hair, bright blue eyes, his clumsiness, and his charming features. He was perfect , just .... perfect .
Eventually after writing in my journal I got bored and went outside to walk and wander through the forest. Of course like always the forest was my safe place , the place where I could always go sing my heart out , scream to the top of my lungs when I was angry , or write when I felt creative . As I was walking towards the foot of the woods I heard a horse coming up behind. As I looked back I saw the prince on a horse . He asked " why is a beautiful woman like you walking all by yourself into the mysterious woods , especially at this hour ? " I spoke saying " ah, it's you again come to run into me again ? " We both laughed and stopped to talk . I said " whenever I need a place think or get my mind off of things I come here , and they may look mysterious on the outside but they are very majestic on the inside." He asked if he could walk with me but he said it in a way as if he had something on his mind to , so I said the he could as long as he walked .

Princes POV:
I saw her walking towards the woods so I followed her on my horse and at the right moment I started to approach her. We talked , and when I thought it was about to end I quickly asked to join her on a journey through the woods. As we started I had to mount off my horse , once at the foot I tied my horse to a tree . As we were walking through the woods she had shown me her favorite place to go and told me ,"my whole life I have been coming here and not once have I been able to live here , it's sad really . I have wanted to build a tree house , so at the worst of times I could stay the night . Plus this the perfect tree . " As I looked around it was just a patch a farm green grass , you know the type of grass that was so green you wondered if it was really grass? The tree itself was even beautiful , it was big , roomy , and the leaves were like a rainbow melted all over it . She was right it was the perfect place for a tree house . Especial the way the sunlight was shining through the trees and tree just enough to light up the whole place.

I thought to myself for a moment and thought of what I could do to make her dream come true . When it was getting darker we started to head back into the town , I decided to walk my horse. I asked her" if I came back and met here in three days would you meet me again?" Thankfully she answered yes and walked in to town . I mounted onto my horse and went back to the castle. When I got there I asked my most trusted servants and asked them to get freshly cut wooden boards and every flower in the land and take them to the same spot that they had hung out. For two days and three nights he worked on the most romantic surprise for the girl of his dreams . Once he was done he went back to the castle slept and was immediately awoken by his father the king. His father had heard about the girl and forbid him form seeing her . But the young prince didn't listen for he was in love with the girl and was already imagining her by his side ruling the kingdom together.

He ran to the woods and waited for the girl . She started to come up to him and said , " hello again ", he replied saying " follow me " . Once they got to the spot , he took his hands off her eyes and showed her his surprise . There , there was a tree house they the prince built just for them . It had flowers of every-kind living
around the tree , The tree house it self was magnificent it had their names carved into the door , the stairs were like a spiral down the tree , and the inside was like a wooden castle . This was there safe place . When they finally got there she
looked in awh of the flowers , but the flower that stood out the most was a beautiful ruby red rose. The
rose was perfect in her eyes and so elegant. The young prince took it and gave it to her saying , " a sign of
my love ", but what she didn't know that it was really to protect her for all eternity.
