Chapter 7: Lost Ones Weeping

A/N: Hey guys, I left the video at the top of the song I listened to while writing this, so if you want to listen to this yourself then it's called, On Top Of The World (cover Caleb Hyles)

Oh and this chapter is in someone else's view. Alright? Alright! Let's get on with the chapter!
(...)

I sighed to myself, as I tapped my feet on the moist ground. I waited until the guards returned...or what was left of them.....

"Princess!!" I turned my head from the clouded sky, to the guards I expected to return, what I saw, shocking me.

There were only 2. Both covered in blood. I stood up from the bench I sat at. "What happened!?" I exclaimed, more shocked than anything else.

"We found him-" My eyes widened, not noticing the pain the solder was in, until processing what I had just heard.

I ran over to them, not bothering the pouring rain. "Continue to tell me later, you two need help-" I paused as a thought came to mind.

"Did he do this when you found him?" I mumbled, only to have them shake their heads. I gave a sigh of relief, as I helped them into the castle. My white dress barely touching the ground. My once green eyes, had turned to a light hazel colour over the years- so when my father saw me, didn't matter when, or what was happening- he told me how much I reminded him of my mother.

"Genevieve Darling! You look amazingly like your mother today!" I glared at him.

"Father, we need to get these guards to the infirmary!" His face turned serious.

"Let the others take them." I gulped and nodded as the butlers and maids took them away; myself following close behind.

As they laid on the bed- their wounds fixed, but slightly in pain- I built up the courage to ask them.

"What happened?" I asked, looking at both of them, as I was handed a towel to dry my blonde hair.

"When we found him...he was with a girl..." My heart sunk as I heard that. Had he gotten married?

"She stepped foreword....and....a-and changed.... to a dragon..." He began breathing heavily.

"She k-killed everyone...we managed to escape with our lives....a-and after that... W-we left, just able to see them heading north...."

I gulped, and nodded my head. Getting up from where I sat, i stormed into the castle; my father no where to be seen.

"Attention!" I yelled, in front of my fathers thrown. "I need two guards to go out North, to search for Peyton Temth!" Two Guards came up and saluted me.

"Yes Princess, we will head out immediately!" I winced at the word princess.

They used to always call me by my name....that is....until it was decided that my father would host a maze, for my hand. Then they started treating me like I was better than them... Which I'm not.

I walked into my room; my white dress soaked. I strolled over to my blossom tree, and picked off one of its pink petals. I held it in my hand, the sent spread around the whole room. I walked into the middle of it and sat down.

I dropped the petal, and gripped the floor in front of me, pulling up a tile.

Underneath, held a ladder, leading down so far, if needed who knows how many torches.

I got up, locked my door, and started to head done the ladder. As I made it to the bottom, I walked out straight. Knowing exactly where I was going.

When I got to the rose filled room. I looked up at the dome roof, the view of crystals above it. I was going to bring Peyton here on his 20th birthday...I thought I wouldn't be able to...but...he's here now...I know he's still alive....

He should be about....19 now.... Or will be... Tomorrow is July 21st so....

I am currently 17 and not married. I am quiet happy that Peyton would be able to enter the maze for my hand!

I changed out of my white dress, into some tight, gray leather, pants, a white top(covered in a gray leather chest plate) And on top of that, some metal around crafted just for me.

I also slipped out of my white flates, into brown hunting boots that were about mid-calf.

I put on a lovely red cape, and grabbed my sword. I am in fact NOT a proper Princess like I have told Peyton many times. I am more of another guard than anything else; which is what I wish to be.

I began to walked to the other end of the room I was now in; having I hid my dress under the red flowers. (Picture at the top, flick right)

(...Time Skip because I'm lazy and plot purposes x3)

As I made my way through the darkness, I came across what I had been looking for; the next ladder.

I climbed up, and found myself outside of the dungeon. I walked inside.

It was dark, wet, and humid. I really need to fix that....

As I walked further in, I noticed a stool, next to an empty cell. I grabbed it, so I could sit down outside.

(...)

The rain continued to pour down as I placed the stool down, to sit on it.

I'm not sure how long I waited for, but when the gates opened, my head immediately turned, to see the guards with a familiar, yet unfamiliar face.

The rain had lite up, and it was only sprinkling. I stood as they got closer -now I was certain it was him- the stool falling over, causing him to lift his head that was once hung low.

"....Gen?" He asked. I could even speak I was so happy.

"G-guards... You may let him go... And make sure to close the gates."

I watched as he stared at me in shock. He chuckled. "You can actually handle the guards now." I walked up to him and smiled.

"I've grown a lot as a person during the three years you were gone Peyton..." He sighed as he noticed where we were.

"I'm going in the dungeon aren't I?" My smile grew.

"Why would you? You are still considered a male of this village." I hinted, hoping I wouldn't have to spell it out for him.

"I have to compete for your hand? I'll pass." My smile disappeared.

"What? Why not?" He scratched the back of his head.

"I-..... I just don't see you that way Gen." I laughed. Did he really think I still liked him after all those years?

"You think I still like you? Oh Jeez your funny.... You disappears for 3 years Peyton,....3 YEARS!" I laughed.

"Without talking to you? If anything, I'd say you were some pretty useful eye candy!" I joked, leaving him frowning.

"Wow.....I just embarrassed myself PRETTY badly there...."

"No shit Sherlock." I stated as I started walking away.

"Peyton, do me a favour and go see your mom? She's been worried sick about you...." And I left inside the castle.

As I closed the giant doors behind me, I let out a puff of air.

"Pretty cute..." I mumbled to myself, walking up the stairs.

"Just not my type." I stated; entering my bed room once again.
