Chapter 8 Maxine

Chapter 8 Maxine

A Chapter by Jessica L. W.

    I was walking through the kingdom with a few bags of supplies. Guards were all over, looking for Princess Marilynn.

    I walk up to the gates, two guards were positioned there, swords by there sides. I smile at them as I walk by.

    “Good day, Autumn.” One said.

    The woods are full of life today, birds singing, squirrels gathering. I wonder how Princess Marilynn and Terrian are doing.

    I made it to the clearing; Princess Marilynn was sitting in the middle of it, alone.

    “Marilynn-”

    “It’s Maxine.”   She interrupts. There’s an empty look in her eyes.

    “... Maxine, where is Terrian?”

    Marilynn looks down, “Why should I care?”

    I place the supplies down, and walk up to her. I kneel down and ask, “What did he do?”

    She looks up, “Nothing.”

    In her eyes, there is the pain of losing her father. Still? Also, the fear of being abandoned.

    She blinks, her father wanted to name her Maxine. The queen hated that she was the best thing that happened to him.

    Marilynn’s eyes begin to fill. I stand up and walk to the supplies, “I got you a thicker blanket, another pillow, some canned food, and some tissues.” I grabbed the tissues, walked back to her and handed them to her.

    “Thanks.” She says as she takes them.

    “So what did Terrian do?” I ask.

    “He did nothing, it was my fault. Should we go looking for him?”

    “No need.” A voice came from the dark forest. There was a dark figure of a human in between the trees. The figures walk into the clearing, Terrian; he has the playful look in his eye.

    “So ‘princess’, you cheered up. Should we go see my little dragon form?”

    I stare at him, “I don’t think she’s ready yet.”

    “I have to be, I need to know what my mother is up against.” She had a brave look on her face.

    I look at Terrian, he’s face a light red, and so, the dragon has fallen, for a princess. That’s new.
