I made a vow, right then and there, that this war will not last for another month. It will not kill another person I loved. My uncles, my cousins, my granddad's, all in the war... it will not take any of their lives. Not if I had any say in it.
I need some plan, but I don't know what. Some plan that can end all of this. I can't be completely responsible for ending it until I was queen... I could get my mom and dad to surrender. But it's useless. It would never work. Or, Skyheart and Fireblade can realized for THEMSELVES that there's no need to fight. That there won't be a winner for awhile, and most of your men would have died by this time.
The world's full of idiots today, though. They couldn't realize this completely by themselves. But, maybe I could help. I'm not sure how... but I could help...
I had my mind set on leaving tonight, towards the battlefield. I would hide out somewhere in the woods by the battle, until I could figure something out. I could leave a note for Molly, or for Mom. I don't know what it would say, yet anyways. It all sounded good, until I realized it sounded completely crazy.
No, it's not crazy. You're trying to save lives here! Yeah, but I couldn't just run away... Screw that! You wan't this war to end, you have to do something about it. But, I'm the princess! I couldn't just leave the kingdom. You don't run anything in Skyheart yet! You're not in charge... and besides, what would happen without you here that hasn't happened while the king and queen are gone?
Maybe I'm going crazy, but the bad side of me won. I would leave tonight. Take some food, a sword, axe, torches, and wool and wood to make an extra bed. I wouldn't need too much else. Just my mind I guess. My plan, to build a bunker to live in for how ever long I need, and while I'm there, come up with a plan to end the war. Planception.
I had nothing to do until night came, I didn't even want to draw. I didn't want to eat anything at all (except another cake) the whole day. No matter how much Molly encouraged me to "get some real food in my stomach", I wouldn't listen. I was so bored, I just stared out my window, waiting for night to come.
When it finally DID (let me tell you, the longest day ever...) and I heard Molly and everyone else leave for the night to go to their own houses, I came out of my room and went to the back door. I couldn't risk anyone leaving work to go home to see me. I walked out of the castle and out to the streets. I walked in alleyways until I got out of the clustered stone houses and can hide behind trees, by the villages.
I hid in the darkness of the night, basically. No one would see me in the woods, so I walked a couple of yards from where the trees end and the village streets began (and so I knew I wasn't completely lost). After 1 or 2 minutes of walking through the woods, I saw an unusually large tree.
"Hi." it said. Did that tree just talk to me? I jumped in surprise and walked closer, to only realize it was a person leaning up against a tree. And this person had a name. It was Nathan.
"Oh, hi." I said. I didn't want to know why he was out in the woods, and I frankly didn't care either. I turned back around and started walking again.
"What are you doing here?" he said. I stopped. I don't know why.
"It's none of your business."
"Amelia, you have to listen to me..."
"Why should I?"
"I have a reason I didn't tell her."
"What is it, then?" I asked, getting angrier and angrier.
"My mom... she, she doesn't want any part of her family to know royalty. Like friends, and all that." Nathan said quietly.
"Oh..." I really had nothing to say. It never occurred to me he had a reason. I didn't even think about asking "why?" at what he just said. I was just...shocked. He knew that's what I would have wanted to ask, though.
"She... I don't know. I guess she thinks you all are just a bunch of rich snobs."
"But... we're not." My family had some of the nicest people I've known and will EVER know.
"I know you're not. She doesn't, though. Maybe her family's had a bad past with royalty. They did live somewhere different... she always goes on about how the only thing royalty's good for is running a kingdom." Well thanks, you stereotypical little- "I know you probably think I was a terrible person for a little bit..."
"Maybe... just a little bit." I replied. He smiled.
"Well... I've told you something. Now why are you out here?"
