Missing

Poor Queen

2 months later

I sit at my desk. So much paper work. With my wedding and being Queen I haven't been able to stop. Suddenly I hear a knock on the door. "come in!" I yell politley. In bursts a now 9 year old Sophie. I sigh. "Thank god" I say "I thought you were Drandrew". It's not like I don't like Drandrew it's just he is always around and it's getting on my nerves. Sophie giggles. "2 more days!" She yells. I decided she would be my only bridesmaid. Truth is I don't want to be married. Ever. It was never really my plan. Some of my paperwork consists of papers I have my plan written down on. I haven't told anyone about it. It's going to happen tonight. "Yea!" I yell and squeal. "Sophie dear stop bugging your sister" I hear a maid say. Sophie's face falls. "Okay" she says. Finally I'm alone. I pull out my papers and re-read them for about the hundredth time.

1. Pack things
2. Go through servants exit
3. Steal a horse
4. Ride into town
5. Dye my hair blonde
6. Steal poor clothing (read and white)

It's unstoppable.

Later that night

"You guys may be excused" I tell my maids. I sit down at my dresser and wait until it's dark.
I sit for about 2 hours until it's dark. The stars are bright and I curse it. Slowly I get the clothing I told my maids it get me. They were a little confused but didn't question. I put them on and grab a ponytail from my drawers. I try back my hair into a messy ponytail like I have seen the younger maids have. I grab my bag and exit my room. The halls were empty. I walk down the one leading to the kitchens. Here it was a bit less quiet. I didn't realize people stay up all night to cook for me. Keeping my head down I make my way to the door. I'm half way there when "your majesty what are you doing?" I didn't even look back to see who had spoken only ran. The maid followed me but I beat her. I quickly got a horse and rode away. I was out the gates before I knew it and soon there was a deserted street. I rode down a cobblestone rode and scanned the area.
I heard whimpering and looked to the side. Sitting on a corner there was a boy about 11 years old. I got off my horse and sent him off. The boy heard me and looked up. He looked scared. "Hey what's wrong?" I ask slowly making my way to him. "It's okay I won't hurt you" I say staying to calm him. Still he moved away from me. "Hey umm my name is..." Shit! I never thought of a fake name. "Anna" is that the best I could do. "What's your name?" I ask. Slowly he looks up at me again. "Drake". "Well hello Drake. Wanna come with me and we can get me some now clothes" I said holding out my hand. He looks at my hand then at me and smiles. "I know just the place" he says taking my hand. He leads me down so many streets that i am now lost. "Just in here" Drake says climbing through an open window. "Umm is anyone home?" I ask. I didn't realize I would have to steal the stuff. I always had things given to me. "Nope saw them leaving town yesterday" he responds leaning out the window. "Oh ok" I say. I'm very unsure of myself now. I put my hand up and Drake takes it pulling me over the wall. I don't have the stealth the Drake has so I fall to the floor. "Come on there should be clothing in here" Drake say moving away as if I'm not on the floor. I glare and stand up. I follow him into a room that I had to be a 12 year old girls. "Here these should fit". He hands me a red and white striped sweater, the colours of the poor. I gulp. Where I was wearing ball gowns made of rich silk and have more food than I can eat, people had to steal to eat. I take the clothing and Drake leaves the room leaving me in privacy. I slip the clothing on. For a young girl either she is pretty large or I'm very small. The clothes are a bit to big. I shrug it off. "Hey Anna. I found some spray paint to use to change your hair colour" Drake say knocking on the door. "Oh ok" I say. I walk out and the spray paint is white. "Umm you want me to have white hair?" I ask raising an eyebrow. "With your dark hair it will look dirty blonde if we just do a thin layer" he say. I nod and turn around. Suddenly I feel a spray on my head. Quickly I cover my eyes. "All done" Drake says. "Go look in the mirror". I walk into a bathroom and look at myself. There I was. Not the dressed up pretty Queen Who didn't know anything about her own kingdom but a poor girl on the run. "Come on we need to leave now" I say as I walk away. "Mm kay" Drake say walking to the window. He climbs out then helps me out. "Alright let's go I'm very tired" I say. We found a little nook in an alley way and went to sleep

I woke up to a commotion. Curled up beside me was Drake. I look around. 'Whoa what's happening' I think. I stand up and wake up Drake. "Wha?" He asked shielding his eyes. "Drake something has happened" I say. Then it hit me. The Queen is missing. I bite my lip. There will be soldiers and they are for sure to recongize her. "The Queen!" I hear in the commotion. Suddenly I see Drake running into the crowd. "Drake wait!" I yell and run after him. I follow him into an abandoned building. "Drake what the hell?" I ask. "Well Your majesty, won't want them finding you" he says. I look up. "How'd you know?" "Your hair. It's illegal in the entire kingdom to have that colour hair" he explains. "Well who made that rule?" I ask shocked. "Well obviously your parents" My parents. All of the suddenly there is a big pit in my stomach. Drake puts a hand on my shoulder. "It was a loss for all". He smiles at me.
"Have either of you seen the Queen?" A deep voice says behind us. I turn around. There he is. Drandrew himself. But why? "Oh uhh Prince Drandrew what a pleasure" I say curtsying. "You too" he says. Trying to make contact with me. "So uh beautiful have you seen the Queen?" He asked. Well he doesn't sound overly concerned. "Are you flirting with me?" I ask. "Maybe" he responds. "Well how rude. You are a disgrace to the Queen" I say putting my hands on my hips. "Ahh she's feisty. So much better than Clary" "how dare you!" I yell starting to loose my temper. I didn't feel Drake pulling on my sleeve. "How dare I?" Drandrew asks. "Yea how dare you. Oh don't deserve me. You don't deserve me at all!" It wasn't until after I said it did I realize what I said. "Drake run" I say and we both run. Drake turned so many corners and I lost him. I turned another corner and ran into a man. "Hey gorgeous" he said. Then everything was dark.
