The one that got away

Chapter 3 - Prince Eric

        It has been a long day of travel. It´s been ages ever since I´ve been home, but I still remember the beauty of my home, the green forest surronding the realm, creating beauty for everyone to see. Even though I´ve been training and studying to replace my father´s place at the throne, I´ve never really wanted the position. Not because of the responsability, or the power that comes with it, but because of the loliness. If only I had someone I love to stay by me in the throne, someone who I can trust, not some arrange marriage my father was trying to inflict on me, only then would I feel true hapiness, until then I will do whatever I´m told but with a hole in my heart only one can fill. My true love. The only problem is finding her, but when I do she shall become my queen and rule by my side.

        We were only a few miles away from the palace when suddently my carriage is attack by rebels. I get out and grab my sword ready to fight my opponers. I notice most of my riders are down and only a few remain on foot. I join the fight but still they are too many, we are clearly outnumber and they knew it. Out of nowhere another person joins the fight, only he is fighting against the rebels and not against us. I take out as many as I can, as fast as I can. I know that to win this fight I must find their leader and kill him.

        I take a look around and find him already fighting the warrior that came for our rescue. Sudently a warrior jump on my back making us both fell down and scream as we hit the ground. I manage to get him off me and kill him.  When I look back I see the warrior giving his last strike, finally killing the bastard. I breath out in relief, once the leader is dead all his followers will back off and ran away, which was exacly what happen.         

        I start approaching the warrior and out of the blue I see one of the rebels prepare to attack him while he as his back turn to him. I run as fast as I can and manage to get in time to block the blow and save the warrior´s life. I strike back and with the straight of my blow I trip and fall down taking the warrior down with me.

        I raise my head and I look at the warrior´s face. It is half covered by a hood and a scarf only making his eyes visible. They are beautiful brown eyes  but as I take the rest of him I notice that he has the figure of a woman  and those eyes can´t lie. The warrior is in fact a woman. I couldn´t help but be surprise by it. As if she knew what I was thinking, she got me off her and gets up but as she does so, her hood feels down making her long curly brown hair fall to her back almost reaching her waist. She is simply breathtaking. She had full red lips and she was only a few inches shorter than me. I got up and she just looks at me and smiles. She had the most beautilful smile I have ever seen, I couldn´t help but smile aswell, but then she turns around and runs disappering into the dark forest.

        -Wait! - I yelled but it´s useless she is already gone.       

        Sorry for the possible mistakes I might have made, remember this is not edited.

        I tought you might want a chapter from Prince Eric perspective so that way you can get to know him a little bit and what he tought of Jeanelle when they first met.

        Don´t forget! Vote and comment please.

        I´ll update soon :)
