[IC] Revenge (Durachka and Akayaofthemoon)

[Durachka]

SCENE!! (I do this every once in a while in case things get boring) It is a beautiful morning throughout the Kingdom. The Princess' are out utilizing every second of the bright sun as they ride their horses. Meanwhile Will is laying in the forest unconscious and his best friend is searching the town for him.

The sun beats down on my face, but the feeling is not unpleasant. It is the exact opposite. Its as if the sun is re-energizing my skin. My horse, midnight, trots along on the forest's trail. I can hear my sister's horse right beside me. It is an amazing day and I hope that nothing will ruin it. I open my eyes and look around at my surroundings. The trees are full of the colors of spring. They are vibrant and seem to give off a feeling of happiness. I've always loved the forest for this reason: when I'm inside it's boundaries I feel free.

I sigh, "We should race." I grin at my sister mischievously. It would be awesome to beat her again at a race. I've always been the better rider. It is one of the few things that I am able to do better than my sister. She passes all of her tests without breaking a sweat. Whereas in order to get a D average I must study my butt off. She does her makeup so effortlessly, but mine always looks sloppy. Its as if I'm a clown when I wear makeup. So many things are different about the two of us yet we get along so well. She is my only friend really.

I look ahead on the trail and I see someone laying in the middle of it. "oh god." I whisper, "Bee, someone is laying in the road!" I jump off of my horse swiftly. My riding dress drifts behind me and gets caught on my saddle. I am lucky that I don't fall on my face. Instead I reach around and unhook the back of my dress where it is snagged. I then run to the man's side. He is deathly pale and I quickly feel for a pulse. It is there, but just barely. I gulp, "He's alive!" I survey his body to see if there are any wounds. I see none. So what is ailing the man?

I search the village for my friend. I am unsure of where he has ended up, but I can only hope for the best. He has been missing since the night before and I can't shake this gut feeling that something bad has happened. As I search I find that no one has seen him since daylight yesterday. This worries me. It is not like William to just disappear in the middle of the night. He always finds his way back home before the sun rises. I have this gut feeling that whatever has happened may just be my fault and I hope that this is very far from the truth.

(Sorry. Not sure what else to write for him.)

The sun filtered in through the trees while petals danced on the gentle breeze, the smell of spring in the air. The trees in full bloom with all its vibrant color as the world looked anew compared to the winter before it. Clomping foot falls of two horses could be heard among the many sounds of the forest trail. It was one of those peaceful days where Beatirce could have a moment away from her studies and just take a day to be outside as well as spend more time with her younger sister. These were days that she treasured the most compared to being locked away and studying to be proper or perfect. She glanced over at her sister, smiling softly as she thought of the other. They were truly so different but it never mattered between them and always got along. Eve was free and had a wild spirit that was never meant to be caged which didn't stop the younger from trying her best at being a great princess with all its rules or schooling. Bee had always breezed through her classes, things like that coming with great ease but when it came to letting go or having fun sometimes she was a bit at a loss. It was only Eve that could get her to be a little reckless which is why when the challenge of a race was made, it was easily agreed too.

"Yes, that we should." she smiled gently in return before petting the mane of her horse Dawn. She was not a very good rider and would probably lose but she enjoyed it none the less. It startled her when Genevieve suddenly spoke of someone in the road before jumping off she horse which made her gracefully slide off her own and in the direction of the fallen man. She forgot to check on her sister, thinking that she had gotten of the horse safely as her worry for the stranger had gotten the best of her. She didn't know many that roamed these forests and it wasn't good if they were out here and hurt. He didn't seem to have any injury which was confusing but only because the man was so deathly pale. Could he have passed out? Is he really dead? she wondered. Her sister coming up to check his pulse only to find the man still alive even if it was just for now.

"Eve, we should get him on one of the horses and head back to the castle. He will stay alive much longer there then out here and maybe we can find out what is ailing the poor man. We have to promise each other that no one will find out about this. Mother and Father will not approve." Beatrice said seriously.

(Not sure what to put for William yet so I will leave it blank for now.)

Genevieve looked up at her sister and then back down at the pale young man. "How are we going to get him into the castle though? Or on our horses? He must be heavy." She stands and wipes the dirt off of her dress. She sighed and realized that they might as well try. He would die here all by himself. The animals with either get to him first or his heart would stop after a while of dehydration and no food consumption.

"Lets do this." She whispered gently as she bent down to his legs, "You get his head. Use your knees so that our backs don't give out on us." The joke wasn't funny. Eve had never been the funniest Princess in the world. She was the most reckless, however, when it came to any situation. She didn't think twice about putting herself in danger. Sometimes it was fun to put her own life on the line. Its not like shes all that important in the scheme of things.

As they lifted the man Genevieve struggled not to drop him. He was indeed very heavy. The horses were much to tall for this. "Alright. Slowly." Her voice strained as well as her muscles. By the time they made it back to the horses Genevieve's face was a bright red from the extrusion. What was he 250 pounds? That would be the most likely. "Okay. I'm going to get up on to my horse. Try to hand him up to me." She said as she put his feet down and her sister kept a hold of the his shoulders. She mounted the horse and reached down for him. She grasped onto his shoulders as Bee lifted his legs onto the horse. Eventually the man was sitting in front of Genevieve and they were ready to head back to the castle.

"We did it! Totally have a reason to be proud of ourselves now!" She beamed at Beatrice, but the smile wasn't all that real. She had this bad feeling in her gut and she didn't know if she could take it if this man died under their care. She had to much heart in such a little body. She cared for everyone else rather than herself. Maybe that's why she puts herself in all kinds of situations.

Beatrice nodded, wrapping her arms so they hooked under the mans' which made it easier for her to carry him. It was still a struggle, not used to carrying so much weight that it made her legs shake a bit as the two carefully carried the man over to the horses. She hoped that they could get him on one because it was the only way to get him to the castle since there was no way the two could carry him all the way. The problem was that the horses were so tall that it would be a work out to push his body higher to reach. It took them both awhile to reach the horses and it was easy to tell just by looking at them that they both pushed themselves just to get that far. It sadly wasn't even the worst part.
"I'll try my best." Bee answered, hoping she could mange to hand him up to her sister or at least try without hurting the man more. Once Genevieve was on her horse, Beatrice pushed the man to stay in a standing position instead of leaning onto her. His shoulders were held steady be her sister as she reached down to lift his legs and push him up. Eventually they managed to place him onto the horse in front of Eve without to much trouble and were now able to head back to get him some help.

"Thank goodness." Bee sighed in relief as she made her way slowly to Dawn, gently pulling herself up onto the saddle and smiling softly to her sister. "Let's get him to the castle." she replied, worried for the man and knowing her sister was putting up a good front that she was okay but Bee knew better. Eve was probably way more worried then she was and Beatrice was extremely worried since she had never seen anything like this for a sickness. She had to pray the man didn't die while they cared for him.
