I have two days left until I have to marry this guy called Prince Gearge. He's the Prince of the West Wing Kingdom. His parents are Sir Kevin and Queen Maria. I'm supposed to Marry him so that our kingdoms can unite to become more powerful. The only problem is that I'm already in love with someone else. His name is Tobias Evergreen. I call him Toby. He's the son of Mary and John, and they live in the village. I love my kingdom and my people, but I don't love Gearge. I love Toby, which is why I can't marry George.

The guards are closing in on me, and Comet's getting tired. When I see a big droopy tree with moss hanging from it, we race over to it as fast as we can and quickly dodge behind it. The guards kept on going past the tree because, luckily, they didn't see us swoop behind here all of a sudden because we were too far ahead of them. After letting Comet catch his breath, we walked on past a couple of thick trees until we came across a big, gorgeous waterfall with a little cozy cottage sitting next to its banks. There sitting on the porch was Toby. His long brown hair is in his eyes again, and he's wearing his usual mishievious grin. I dismount Comet and run up to him to be greeted by a big hug and a long kiss. "Rose, thank goodness you made it. Here, come inside and have some hot tea while I put Comet in the stables. You look tired so I'll do it."
"Oh, thank you so much Toby!" I said to him as he joined me inside at the table before walking into the kitchen to return a few moments later with a tray. On the tray was two mugs, a lot of hot tea, and some sugar. He put a mug down in front of me and himself as poured some tea and sugar into both cups. "Mmmm my favorite. This is so good! I still don't u understand how you make it so good?" I asked him. "Well, It's kinda a family recipe. You see, my mom showed me how to make it when I was little just like everyone else in the family who learned from either their father or their mother." he replied. I took a sip and said, "Toby, what are we going to do? The whole kingdom is looking for us, and we have nowhere to go. Eventually, they're going to find this place. Toby, I'm just so scared."
"Hey, Rose. It's ok to be scared, but no matter what happens I'll always be there for you." His sentence ended with a kiss to my lips, but suddenly he pulled back. "What's wrong, Toby?"
"Well it's just that I was thinking, and maybe this guy I know could help us. His house is not that far from here by the old mine downstream."
"I don't know. What if he turns us in to the guards?" I asked. (sigh) "Rose. You worry too much."
"Well sometimes it's better to worry than to jump into action without a plan."
"Come on it's getting late, let's just go to bed and we'll see what happens when we get there's tomorrow." ~°
