We all made our way to the training area. Of course it was a race to see who got there first and I won obviously.

'Ha ...ha I won' *out of breath

'yh yh you won't next time' *Jake grinning

'Ha ha ha you guys are exactly like you were back then

We walk through entrance to the arena when I hear my name being called.

'Elizabeth!'

I looked up it was Edward. He was standing at the edge of the fence where the seats were for the arena. Edward is my cousin and He wields two swords like me. To be honest he's pretty good at it to. Just not as good me, Jake or Alex so he is always challenging us.

'what do I do? I know both Jake and Alex don't particularly like him as he always moans about losing against us and the only way for us to make him be quiet is for me to kiss him on the cheek. To be honest I don't really care as it's only kiss on the cheek right? and he is also my cousin. But Jake and Alex are always in a grumpy mood whenever it happens.

'Can I join you guys?'

I look at both Jake and Alex they both shrug their shoulders. I sigh.

'yh you can!'

He ran down the steps to his side and entered the arenas ground.

'Jake don't be too hard on him you to Alex... just don't go easy on him k'

*Both grinning

'HAI!' (Yes in Japanese)

Edward made his way over to us. He stands next to me.

'Okay so who's fighting who?'

*sighs that's so like him to just like him he is so impatient, yh I may be a bit impatient to but...just not as much as him. ^-^

'I'll fight against Jake first Alex you fight Edward'

'Sure'

We all walked to separate parts of the arena to keep out of each other's way. To honest I was really looking forward to fighting Jake as I hadn't fought him properly in a long time.

'Don't go easy on me k'

'Yh like I could do that you would kill me if I did'

I laughed. 'Yh you're probably right'

I took both of my Katana's out of their scabbards. Holding one in front for defences while the other to side to attack. Normally I would use only one sword but im forced to use both with Jake otherwise he defeat me. I look forward to find that Jake had disappeared. Great he's gone, I almost forgot he was called the silent beast and it certainly wasn't for nothing. I closed my eyes and concentrated to see if I could sense his presence.

He's coming from the left. I defend myself and use my other sword to slice his hand. There now I don't need to concentrate so hard as I can smell his blood. I keep blocking his attacks until I finally find an opening and hold the sword up to his throat.

'YES! I WON AGAIN!'

'Don't get so cocky it's not like you always win you were only lucky'

'Aww is Jake grump coz he lost to a girl'*I say sarcastically

'Hmmmm let me think yh....NO'

He hits me on the head with his spear.

'Ouch!'

I never saw that coming, well he's gonna get it. I jumped on his back. I almost fell off but held onto his hair. I laughed and shouted.

'Go on the winner gets to ride the looser!'

'Oh ok you wanna ride me do you,  well you better hold on tight!'

I hold onto his shirt as tight as I could as he ran fall speed round the arena. By that time Alex had already beat Edward and he was sitting on the ground moaning that Alex had cheated. I sighed.

'Jake take me over to them please'

I could see that he was a bit reluctant to but finally gave in and walked me over there. I then got off his back and stood in front of Edward.

'What you going to do Lizzy?'

'The usual I suppose'

I bent down to look at Edward in the face. Wow he looked like a child when he was moaning, I almost laughed out loud.

'Really Edward how old are you?'

'But...but...'

I leaned in him a gave a quick kiss on the cheek and he shut up. Yay.

Oh what now, I look up to find Philip my father's main servant shouting for me.

'What!'

'Your Father wants you!'

'Ok thanks for letting me know!'

'Bye guys!'

I run out of the arena and make my way to my father. I found him sitting on a seat talking to my uncle.

'Oh hello uncle' *curtsy's

'Hello Elizabeth it's nice to see you, happy birthday, I will now leave you and your father'

He gets up and walks away from us; I take his seat and sit down.

'So what did you want to talk about?'

'I want to talk to you about Alex'

'Huh, but why you already agreed to say yes if he accepts my marriage proposal when I ask him'

Wow that really embarrasses me I can't believe I just said that but it's true he promised me.

'I know I did but I have been thinking about it and I do not wish for you to marry him'

'But why!'

'Because the person who marries you will become the King of TAI!'

'But its Alex what's wrong with him'

'I don't trust him, I know he will hurt you some day, this is my final decision!'

'But...'

That was it. That was all he was having from me I knew he wouldn't change his mind. I walked off making sure I knocked the chair over on the way. People were staring at me know but like I give a shit. I walk all the way to my room and face plant my bed.

~LATER ON

It was now night time and most people had left. I was still on my bed sulking as my father was being very mean. No one had come into my room yet which surprised me as normally Jake would come here all the time. I guess im just feeling a bit lonely.

I decide to go to talk to my father again about Alex. I open the door when a man I don't recognise walks in front of me.

'Princess why are you still here did you not know there is a fire in the palace and everyone is being evacuated'

I probably would've believed what he had just said was it not for my father and his over protectiveness. I knew if there was a fire he would personally come and get me from my room and take me to safety. Something must be happening. I must play along with him until I know what's going on. I smile keeping my hands on my Katana's. I was ready for anything.

'Oh my a fire in the palace, very well you may take me to somewhere safe' *sweat drop me acting like a proper princess

'Follow me princess'

I follow him.

'So are you a new servant or something as I have not seen you around before'

*he sweat drops

'Errr yes you could say that'

We just turn round the corner when is see the glint of a sword in his hand, I instantly pull out one of my Katana's and cut him on the back. I sit on him so he cannot move.

'So who are you and how did you get in here, no what is it that you want to do tell me'

'Ha ha ha it doesn't matter anymore im sure he's already done it, it's too late for you'

'done what....'

'FATHER!'

I get of him and make my way to my father's room as fast as I can. Oh no, please, please be alright. I made it to his room. The door was open...

With both swords in my hands I slowly open the door and walk in. My eyes widen in shock. I fall to my knees dropping both swords. No No No. Tears fallen from my face to the floor.

My Father's body lay still on the floor blood seeping from the stab wound he had in his heart. My Father he is dead. No how can that be. Why. Why. It gets worse the person standing in front of my father's dead body the one who is covered in my beloved father's blood was...

Alex.
