The Dragoness

"William! No stop" Amaya screamed in midst of her laughter. William looked at Amaya, smirking "Only if you allow me to eat your dinner for a week" He grinned, continuing to tickle her.

"NEVER!" She laughed as she struggled to push her best friend off of her heaving chest. To her annoyance, Will refused to budge. She groaned and closed her eyes, holding back laughter as he tickled her sides.

"AMAYA!" A frantic voice screamed into the courtyard "Your father needs you in the throne room immediately!" The messenger gasped for breath, he had obviously ran across the castle to get to her.

The two friends got up and brushed the grass off of themselves. "Amaya!" The shrill voice of Avery came from the entrance to the courtyard. "Father wants you there now and you're going to go to him like that?" She shrieked as she glared at her younger sister's light blue dress, wrinkled and dirty from the tickle session

"Extremely sorry Avery," William mumbled, holding back a smile "I hadn't known that she would be needed by the king" He looked at Amaya.

"I'm coming..." Amaya rolled her eyes, walking into the castle. She walked just a bit faster as she heard the low growl coming from Avery's side. "Great. What does father want to reprimand me for now?"
