Chapter 2: Royal matters

(Harry's P.O.V)

I held my bow as we got ready to practice. i looked over at lou and he smiled. i smiled back. it had been two years since the love of my life had been taken. those two long years all ive done is practice practice practice. my skills with a bow were extraordinary. as the servants dressed with animals began to line up lou and i turned . i heard paul yell "archers ready, set GO! " we both turned n lou missed. i bammed out shot, after shot. after all was said and done i had the higer score as lou only scored once. i did this because i had to rescue my love. my baby. Alyssa..... her name sent a shiver down my spine. i didnt know where she was. i didnt even know if she was alive. her father had died after a great beast overtook him in the forest. we found a guard who told us what had happened. when i asked about lyss he just said "she is gone. "hey hazz" i was pulled out of my thoughts by Louis shaking me " you ok mate?" i sighed "yeah. just thinking of where she could be" Lou nod. he knew who i was talking about already. "well im not sure where we could look. we've searched everywhere." i sighed again as we walked up the steps. "your dad said he wnated to see you" lou told me. i nod and bade him good-bye. i walked to my fathers study and knocked on the door. "come in" he said. i walked in. my father was king zayn. sycotia's best ruler. "have a seat" i sat next to him by the fire. "son. your im at that age where i cant rule anymore. its your time to rule, but you need a wife." my eyes glazed "alyssa. i willl find her fat-" he cuut me off "that is precicsley the reason i called you up here. you need to give up. she hasnt benn sighted since her father died. she is gone. you need to address your royal duties. which is why im organizing a ball where all of the eleigible princesses will attend and you will pick a wife"  "but dad i" "No. you need to stop thinking in the past and move on. now. the balll is in 3 days. be ready." i sighed and walked out. i went to the library and looked things up. where would she be? is my dad right? i put my head in my hands. No. i will not give up. i will find her in the next three days. i will announce her as my wife. I WILL love her with every breath i had. my breath quickened as i race to get Louis.....
