part of chapter one.

It was a dark cold night when Prince Jared sat prepared on his horse awaiting the moment when the enemy would attack and he would be the one to give the command that would send his troops into battle and he would. . . . . .

“Elizabeth!” Yelled my little brother.

“What do you want Tyler? I‘m reading. ” I yelled back to him. I waited a moment for his answer but nothing came. So I turned back to my book “Tale of The Young Prince”.

And he would be the youngest prince to ever fight in a war. For young prince Jared was only 16 years of age and almost king. As Prince Jared sat there waiting he wondered what would happen. Would he die? Would they win? Would he ever find love? He knew not any of the answers to these worrying questions. So he waited. He waited in the dead silence and just then. . . . . . .

RING! RING! RING! I heard my alarm going off.

“Crap I oversleep again.” I muttered to myself. I looked at the clock and it was already 8:30. I was late for school. Way late. So I decided that, since it was the last day and all we were doing was watching movies, I would just stay home today. It wasn’t like I would be missing anything.
Then I remembered my book. I hadn’t finished it and I knew I only had a few more pages left. So I looked around my bed and saw it laying there on the floor. I must have dropped it while I was sleeping. Ignoring that thought I reached down to the floor, picked up my book and ran my finger along the words on the page till I found where I left off.

Just then he could see the threat quickly advancing towards his men. So he grabbed the neck of his sword and pulled it out pointing the tip of it into the air and with a deep breath he ordered his men to attack. The battle raged on for what seemed like forever and Prince Jared was sure of himself that they would win. Just as that thought was moving through his head… he saw his father’s messenger riding towards him on his fathers horse.

“Your highness! Your highness!” yelled the tiny man. “I have terrifying news. Your father is dead.” ……………..

“What?!?!?!” I screamed into the air. “that‘s it? What’s going to happen to the prince?” I said to myself. Just then. I heard a loud thud at the bottom of the stairs and thought to myself that no one should be here but me. So I reached under my bed and grabbed the gun that I kept there for safekeeping.
Many people at school thought I was crazy for keeping a gun but when you lived in a rich community things happened and you just had to be prepared. So I grabbed my gun and set the book down and quietly got up and walked to the door. When I opened the door I could see someone laying at the foot of the stairs. For a moment I thought that it was my brother. But he was at school. So who could it be?
I crept slowly down the stairs with my fun in my hands and looked at the beautiful boy laying there. He was so handsome. Like a prince. Just then I saw the gorgeous man move.

“Oh my gosh!” I screamed out in horror. “who are you?” I yelled at the boy with my gun shaking in my hands.

“I am Prince Jared.” he said in a horrified voice. And then it hit me. Hard.

I woke up and I was on my bed, and my head was throbbing. What had happened. Not long ago there was a man claiming to be the prince that I had fallen in love with from my story. The story that had no ending. And ending that would never be known. And then I saw him sitting on the floor facing my door and his head leaned up against my bed. He was asleep.
I moved carefully as not to wake him and slid my legs slowly off the bed and put them on the ground. Just then I heard the young boy breath in deeply and saw him move his head to his side where a sword rest lightly on his hip, and I jumped.

“Who are you?” I asked very loudly.

“I already told you who I am. I am the prince. Who are you?” he retorted.

“I am Elizabeth Chanley ” I told him. “how did you get here? I mean, if you really are Prince Jared then you shouldn‘t be here.” I said.

“How can you say that. It is your faith in me that brought me out of the book. Don‘t you see Miss. Chanley, it is because that you have fallen in love with me and my character that I am here. And it is also your curiosity for my ending and the ending of the book that I am here. ” he said with a tone that made him seem just slightly crazy.

“What are you talking about? That is completely insane. Your not real.” I yelled at whispered at the same time.



MORE COMING SOON. I PROMISE.
