Chapter 9

Enter Rene, the Princess of Arisen! WARNING:FROM THIS POINT ONWARD, THERE WILL BE HINTS AT BOY/BOY LOVE!!!

Rene stood on the balcony of the castle, the wind blowing through her short, blonde hair. The morning sun reflected magnificently off her blue eyes. In these eyes gleamed the lust for adventure. She looked up at the cloudless sky. She saw a large flock of birds fly above her, momentarily covering the sky. Rene took a deep breath, drinking in the smell of fresh flowers, the cool air rejuvenating her body and mind.

 She turned around and walked back inside the castle to her room.

Rene was a princess. The princess of Arisen, in fact. As she had been reminded her entire life by her mom, "This kingdom is the most powerful in the world right now. Soon, it may become yours." That day was arriving quickly. It was the middle of January and, in June, Rene would possibly the queen of Arisen.

 Rene opened her closet door and looked at the clothes inside. Should she wear a dress? Or casual clothing?

"Maybe some jeans,"Rene muttered quietly.

Twenty minutes later, she stepped downstairs for breakfast.

"Good morning, Rene,"Ralph said as she stepped into the kitchen.

Ralph had arrived at the castle only about two weeks ago. Rene had gone out on New Years day to get groceries for the feast they were to have that night. She remembered that there was a raging downpour of rain that day. Rene had started on her way back to the castle when a man of only about sixteen had stumbled out in front of her, and collapsed. She had immediatly dropped what she was doing and taken him to the castle, where she had ordered her best doctors to restore him back to health. Ralph had recovered the next day and revealed his name to them, but could not recall how he got in the town, or even anything before waking up in the castle.

"I remember a name though,"Ralph ahd told Rene and the doctors. "Daniel."

Though Rene had tried to give him back his memory, no progress had been made so far. However, she noticed Ralph constantly dwelled on the name.

"I knew Daniel,"Ralph had told Rene,"I just can't remember anything about him." Rene had invited Ralph to stay in the castle with them for the time being and Ralph had melted into the scene well.

"So how was your night?"Ralph asked.

"It was fine, thanks for asking,"Rene said with a smile and Ralph returned it.

Rene walked into the living room.

"Hello, dear,"her mom said when she walked in.

"Morning, mom,"Rene muttered.

"Darling, what are you wearing?"Queen Shayla asked.

"What?"Rene asked, looking at herself. She was wearing a black shirt with a flaming heart in the middle and tight jeans.

"That's unbecoming of a princess,"Queen Shayla demanded."Remove those clothes at once!"

"No!"Rene protested."Just because I'm a princess doesn't mean I have to dress like one!"

 "Young lady-"

"And quit calling me that!"Rene said, annoyed."I have a name! Rene! Remember it!" And Rene stormed off to her room.

"Are all girls like that?"Ralph asked, having come into the room.

"Sadly, yes,"Queen Shayla said.

 "Scary."

"You have no idea."

 

Rene sat on her bed, staring out the window. She looked at all of the tall buildings and cars going everywhere.

I don't want to have to rule all of this, Rene thought angrily.

"I should be able to choose what I become!"Rene said furiously.

"Rene?" Rene looked at her door. Her mom was on the other side of it, no doubt listening in on Rene.

"Go away!"Rene ordered.

"Please, honey, if you'd let me talk to you-"

 "I don't want to!"Rened yelled at the door, standing up in anger.

"Very well, then,"Queen Shayla said, "But do not blame me if things go wrong in the long run. Also...Amber's here."

 "Amber!"Rene shrieked, seemingly going through the door in her haste. "Children,"Queen Shayla smiled,"Are impossible to read. But Rene...even more so." And Queen Shayla walked back down the steps.

"I really need to think about shortening this walk...I'm losing twenty pounds a day at this place!"

Very interesting story thus far... a bit annoyed by the "amontonadero" --- all the words together in one huge paragraph, but I can overlook that because the story is good and interesting. ^____^ "boy-boy love" hum? (pulls out popcorn)
