You’re a princess… well, a runaway princess. You hated your life, the rules, the forced marriages, all that stuff. So you decided to back a small bag and run away.

Do you know where you’re going? No. Do you care? Absolutely not. As long as you’re far away from your old life. That’s all that matters, right?

As you were walking through the forest that surrounded the palace and town, you heard a few footsteps behind you. Turning to see a group of bandits who had seen you walking alone.

Without another thought, you began to run. Dodging and passing through trees, trying not to fall over anything. It being the middle of the night didn’t help one bit.

You continued as they followed close behind. As you looked over your shoulder, someone grabbed you and pulled you behind a tree. You tried to fight and get out of this persons grip but they wouldn’t budge.

He had an arm around your waist, keeping your back pressed firmly against his chest. Whilst his other hand covered your mouth so you wouldn’t give yourselves away.

“Shut up… I’m trying to help you idiot.” He muttered in a hush tone. Waiting until the bandits continued past and disappeared further into the forest.
