Re: Romeo, Romeo. Where Art Thou, Romeo? [ Peace ]

I stood and looked where she directed me. I walked forward, dagger in hand. I disappeared into the trees and came back with a doe in my hand. I sat down and laughed at Fayre. "Here you go." I tossed it in front of her. "There's your troulbe." I smiled an dran my hand over the doe's body, making sure it wasn't pregnant. I decided it wasn't and looked at the maiden beside me. "You want it?" I offering her the hide, but I doubt she would know what I was meaning.

[Guest]

A bit disgusted, she moved her legs. "No...I'm okay," She gave the deer a skeptical look then laughed at herself. "I guess this is why I can't find a suitor. Sometimes my mind fails me." She smiled and rubbed her arm, a little bit embarrased. Although Alexander made her feel very comfortable. For once in her life, she felt like she had somebody to talk to. She grinned at her thoughts, but soon snapped back to reality.

[BayMickey]

~Alexander~
I laughed at her. "I don't mean the whole dead deer, I mean the hide. Doe hide makes fine clothing." I picked up the doe and threew over my shoudler. I offered my hand to help Fayre up. "Come." I stood there, dead deer over my shoulder, with my hand out to a gorgeous young woman. "Do you happen to have thread and a needle?"

[Guest]

Fayre blushed again and accepted his help, gently placing her hand on his. She got to her feet, then listened to his question. "I do have a thread, but no needle." She frowned. "I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to help you there." Fayre then paid attention to what he said, "I don't know as much as you do, obviously." she gave a shy smile. "I don't spend much time at home or learning anything. I'm self-taught. Although I do know how to read and write." Then she shrugged, "But that's not much."

[BayMickey]

~Alexander~
"Oh, but that is. Many princesses still cannot even write. But you can. That's a wonderful thing. And, I don't need a needle, I can make one out of bone." I walked to behind the boulder to where the fire was. "I'll be right back." I walked off with the deer over my shoulder and came back with just a hide. "May I use your thread?" Waiting for her answer, I tied the seer's hide with leather strips to two limbs on either side of the fire. The heat would help soften the hide to make clothes and it would help me strecth it.

[Guest]

Fayre watched him closely, intruiged by his knowledge. She pulled out some of her mahogany thread and handed it to him. She kept the thread incase there was ever a tear in her dress, since she never went home. She looked at him and finally asked, "How did you learn all of this? Did your father teach you?" She kept her hands neatly placed by her side.

[BayMickey]

~Alexander~
"Books. I read all the time. Every day." I pulled the hide from the fire. I cut one long strip out of the side and made a straight line of it with my dagger. I put that to the side and cut out four medium-sized squaures. I cut on oval-shaped peice. I sewed together the four peices to make a box shape. I then sewed one end of the long strip to the side of it, doing the same with the other end. I then sewed one side of the oval to the top back of the bow, letting the other side hang freely over the openeing. I tore a button from my shirt and sewed that to the front of the bow. I cut a tiny slit on the front of the oval and latched it onto the button. I handed her the newly made purse. "Here." smiled. "I can dye it for you if you'd like."

[Guest]

Fayre gently took the purse and fingered it delicately. Such fine workmanship. He learned all of this from books? She shook her head when he asked if he could dye it."Quite splendid." She said and smiled, putting the purse by her side. "Your works never cease to amaze me." Then she looked around. How long had it been? If her father caught her she'd be dead. But that was okay. Standing beside the handsome young prince was worth the price she'd pay if discovered. She brushed a piece of hair from her face.

[BayMickey]

~Alexander~
"Why, thank you." I nodded and walked back to where we had sat before. I sat down in my previous posture and looked up at Fayre, seeing her troubled look. "What's wrong?" My voice was deep, but still sweet. I motioned for her to sit down beside me. I looked down to examine my clothes. I brushed of a smudge on my boot. I patted down my hair and laughed at myself. Why am I trying to impress her so much?

[Guest]

Fayre took a seat beside him before answering his question, "I was just thinking about how my father would kill me if he ever caught me with you." She thought about it for a moment, pulling her hair to one side, placing it gently over her shoulder. She fingered the purse some more. "But I was also thinking I wouldn't mind the pay." She blushed a little bit, her cheeks only turning a rosy pink.

[ i just got spacers >.< ]

[BayMickey]

(I have braces, and they hurt really bad when you get them tightened!)

~Alexander~
"Ah, yes, mine would too. I would just come back though,"I smiled sweetly and put my hand on top of hers on the ground. "n matter how many times he punished me." I thogut about what he would do and a small shiver went down my back. He probably would hit me, whip me, and lock me in my room. I laughed in my mind as when I thought I could just climb out the window.

[Guest]

The movement of his hand felt very comfortable---as if she was waiting for this moment ever since she was a little girl. She searched his face a moment before choosing not to say what she was going to. The second time she met him and she was already falling in love? How was that possible? Well, he was stunningly handsome, brilliant, and a prince. What else could she ask for? Fayre hesitated a moment before resting her head on his shoulder and sighing.

[BayMickey]

~Alexander~
I closed my eyes after we had sat there for a while. A sudden noise broke the peace up. I looked to the left to see Mistro. "Alexander!" I ran over and cupped his mouth. "Be quiet, someone might hear you." I pulled my hand from his mouth. He lookedover my shoulder and at Fayre. His eyes got big. "T-that's....." I cupped his mouth again with my big hand. "Be quiet, Mistro! I know!" He pulled my hand off and shook his head. "Wait until your father hears about this....." I cringed. 'He won't!You'll keep quiet, you hear?" He looked at me like I was crazy for a moment and then nodded. "Okay, I won't tell." I sighed and shooed him off. I walked back to Fayre. "Sorry for my servant, he followed me here." I sat down beside her again.

[Guest]

"That's why I dismissed my servants," she said quietly. "Although my servants never liked me." She smiled a little bit recalling the ruthless namecallings from the girls, then the cheerful look on their faces when she had released them to be freed. How they had hugged her and curtseyed(sp?) and dance, singing out the hallways of the palace. She had vaguely heard what the servant had said, "Let me guess," she replied. "He knows who I am, too?" She didn't lean back on his shoulder this time.

[BayMickey]

~Alexander~
"Yes... He won't dare say anything, though. Or it's his head." I smiled and stood up. "Since that happened,, I think it's a good time for me to depart. I'm dearly sorry." I held out my hand for her and dropped my smile. "Goodbye, Fayre. It was a pleasure being here." I kissed her slightly on the cheek and turned, walking back. I climbed into my window and changed into my bed clothes, grabbing a book. I sat downa nd began reading.

[Guest]

Fayre watched him leave, then placed her hand tenderly on where his lips had brushed her cheek for that brief second. She smiled and stared at the ground for a moment, before returning to her regular perch and leaning against the rock. Tonight would be another lonely night, wouldn't it? It wouldn't hurt to go back home and change clothes. The weathed was warming rapidly, and a nice sundress wouldn't do her any harm... She sighed and got back up, returning home. She got into bed for that night with him in her thoughts, and went to sleep. The next morning instead of putting on her regular red, heavy dress she slipped on a thinner, light yellow sundress. It was a perfect day to go back to her spot and relax.. And that's just what she did. She found the purple rose still sitting there and she picked it up gently and smiled.

[BayMickey]

~Alexander~
I went to sleep shortly after I finished the book. I slept soundly, falling asleep right when I laid down. I woke up the next mournign completely refreshed. I dressed in what I called my 'royal' outfit. I grabbed my long sword and went outside, mounted my horse with his royal tack on. I rode into town and greeted many people. I had a crown fitting today. I sighed and picked up a young boy and put him on my horse. I led him around a stone fountain and thought of Faure. I smiled a little and took him down.

[Guest]

Fayre wished she could go and see him, but she knew that'd probably be the last of her. She saw a movement in the bushes. She looked up and realized it was the figure of her mother. Her mother came striding in quickly.
"Your father doesn't wish you out here anymore. He doesn't know what you're doing." Her mother saw the purple rose and her mouth gaped open. "Who have you been with?!" She nearly screamed as she grabbed Fayre by the wrist and tried to drag her home.
"I'm not going home!" Fayre yelled back, wrenching her wrist free. Her mother stepped on the rose before she was able to retrieve it. She gave her mother an angry look as she turned and ran into the forest.

[BayMickey]

~Alexander~
I heard my father say my name and I turned. "Son, you're needed. A knight from a distant land has come and challenged you." I nodded and munted, riding my horse towards where they directed me. I didn't have any proper armor on, only what I ahd on ealier. I dismounted in front of the knight and drew my sword. "Hello." I smiled and shook his hand. He drew his sword and swung at me missing. I put my sword under his arm and dragged it across him stomach. He fell and begged for mercy. I pointed away from the kingdom and that's where he stumbled to. I mounted my horse once again, riding towards my castle. I changed into a tan peasant shirt and picked another purple rose, going to the lake on horse. I went the back way and entered where the lake was. I saw Fayre sprawled on the ground and I rushed towards her, helping her up. "What happened?"

[Guest]

Fayre looked up when she heard Alexander's voice. She sighed. "My mother came to fetch me." She looked down at the ground, rubbing her wrist a bit. Faure sighed and wrapped her arms around herself, wondering where here mother had gone. "She's probably gone to get my father." She said, her voice a bit shaky. "Who knows what he will do..." She frowned. "You should get out of here before he comes." She looked towards him with a sense of urgancy.

[BayMickey]

~Alexander~
"No, you'll come with me." I led her to my horse and helped her mount him. I mounted him and turned the horse around. "I know the perfect place." We started galloping toward a little cavern where I used to play when I was little. I came upon it and helped her off. "He'll never find us." I held her hand and led her inside, dusting off a place for her to sit.

[Guest]

Fayre sighed and sat down, looking around herself. "I'm afraid he'll still search for me. No matter where he goes. He'll go everywhere." She frowned and looked up at him with somewhat longing eyes. "But thank you, I guess." She looked around a bit more before falling silent, thinking about what her father would do to her if he found her -- especially with Alexander. She shivered a bit and wrapped her arms around herself again, worrying more about his safety than her own.

[BayMickey]

~Alexander~
"It'll be fine, I promise." I sat beside her. I put one hefty arm around her. "He won't find us." The look on my face told her all that I felt for her. I looked outside the cave and listened for anyone. I heard nothing. I had hidden my horse behind the cavern so I knew no one would find him. I rested my chin on Fayre's head.

[Guest]

Fayre rested her head against his shoulder, and instantly a feeling of warmth and protection flooded through her. Alexander was something special, and now she couldn't doubt it: she was falling for him, head over heels. Her mother, when she was younger, had told her to be careful when it came to love. When Fayre was smaller, her mother had been nice to her, hoping her daughter would follow directly in her footsteps and become as wretched of a queen as she was herself. But no, Fayre had grown up to be indifferent towards her mother, and she was paying dearly for it. If she was ever caught, her own father may beat her, and who knows what else he'd do? She snuggled closer to him, trying to shake off the horrid feelings.

[BayMickey]

~Alexander~
I pulled her closer to my chest. "I'm sorry." My voice was a low whisper. "This is all my fault." I frowned and kissed the top of her head. "But it'll all be okay..." I didn't know this, but whatever happened, I would defend her. I sighed anf brushed my fingers through her long, black, beautiful hair.
