Aah! I new story!
Forbidden Stars
Chapter 1
Eva stared out of the window, looking at the people who worked for her, or worked for there own meals. Easy to make a difference between the two, she could see over to the plaza of the palace easily. And she could see the village to, if she just watched over the forest.
She envied them.
People who can just live out there lives, and only have to work for several hours. People who can do almost anything. She wanted their freedom.
And she knew people envied her for her life. But life as a princess wasn't just all glamour and happiness.
Imagine how you would feel if people get in at 8'am EVERY morning to say that you must awake, getting dressed for breakfast.
No, you can pick own clothes, clothes that are comfortable. You have to wear a corset, so tight you cant breath, with a dress that is even more tighter.
She doesn't even know why she is still alive. Though, the convinced her father to not put the corset to the highest level, since she past out last time she did.
Now it may sound she hated her life, but that wasn't all true. She just didn't liked some things of it. Like the other prince's and princess's. They always picked on her. True, she was the youngest of the family, even her brother was older. But he died.
And to them she was to boyish. She loved doing things that a princess cant do. Once a princess said to a friend of herself, that Eva was too caught up in physical activities and learning to truly be a part of their circles.
Grin at that. Who says she wants to be a part of their circles?
Most of her friends were just fakes, always being nice to her because she is a princess.
A knock on the door. "Princess, are you descent?"
Eva looked at herself. She was still in her riding clothes. About 15 minutes ago she got back of a ride with her favourite horse, Molly.
"I am. Come inside." She replied. Quickly she put a lock of her hair back in it's position. A maid, called Susie came in. Eva knew her for her whole life, and she preferred to call her Susie in place of Susan.
When she was small, she never managed to say Susan. So she discovered Susie.
"Susie, what a surprise." Eva smiled when she said it. She liked her. Susie smiled at her nickname. "My lady, the king wishes to see you."
"I said it a hundred time, don't call me My Lady, your highness, Princess.. I'm Eva. Else I'm not responding the next time!"
Susie chuckled at the stubbornness of the princess. "Of course Eva. I'm pleased to call you that way."
"That's better. Why does my father wishes to see me?" She asked. Susie replaced herself a bit. "There is someone here for you."
"Who?"
"A certain cousin of yours."
Eva thought for a while.
No.. it cant be!
She grinned widely, and Susie grinned back. "YES!" Eva shouted as she hurried out of her bed-room, down the stairs, a bit unhandy, and shot right into the main room, where her parents looked down at her surprised. "That was quick." A male voice said.
Eva spotted her cousin. "JORDAN!" She squeaked as she ran right into a hug with him. Jordan chuckled. "Hey, I haven't been away that long!"
"You should know."
After some talking Jordan found himself excusing to Eva to go back to the palace, cause he knew Eva would stay here for a while. Eva smiled at him, and Jordan left.
"What to do on a free day.." She already changed in one of the dresses, since it was necessarily.
She stood up with no effort, heading for the stables, where she could here some whistling. Some horses whinnied when she past by, and she petted them smiling. "Hello boys." She said to them.
"Hello princess." She suddenly heard when she arrived with the horse named Angus.
Her eyes widened and she jumped back, hand before her mouth.
"Too bad you don't scream so easily." The voice said again. Out of the stable of Angus came a boy, a bit taller then her. The Nourasion smiled at her.
"Aikka.. I should have know."
Aikka and Eva were friends for a long time. It wasn't rare that Nourasions were on Earth here. Nourasia and Earth are allies, and Aikka's family went to this place on Earth a long time ago.
Unfortunately, his mother died 2 years after his birth. His father was still alive, and worked in the kitchen (first he worked in the stables too). Aikka could have worked there to, but since he proclaimed he had no business with cooking, Eva's father Donald (xD) Wei aloud him to work at the stables.
But back to herself and Aikka. They had been friends since Eva was 5, and Aikka was 7.
It happened on a different way then normal, but she would never regret that day.
Eva pouted. She was so not in the mood for this today. Yes, she wanted a pony to ride on, but she just didn't slept this whole night.
"But I wanna go back in bed." She said with a pout. Her mother, Maya Wei kneeled for her. "Sweetie, just remember you're going to have your own pony today."
"And I don't want a pony, but a horse!"
"You're to small for it."
"So.. you can put me on it!"
Maya chuckled. Her daughter was very stubborn, in many ways. When her parents talked to the main-boss of the stables, she went out on discovery. She saw many beautiful horses, but none of them were interesting her. She didn't wanted a pony. They're so small. She wants a horse! Where she can ride on forever!
Suddenly she saw it. A big stable at the end of the path, she knew what was in there. She quickly ran to it, while a few locks of her messy black hair got free. She opened the door from the stable and watched.
A very young horse, she knew it must be 5 months, or less. It was such a beauty! The horse was totally black, with a tangled strip on her head, with dark manes and a white mark on her back where the saddle must be.
"You like her?" A young voice said. Eva turned around quickly, aware that someone was watching her watching at the horse.
No fear, she said to herself, it was just a Nourasion kid. She nodded in reply. "Yes, she's pretty." She remained polite, knowing that the boy may not recognize her as a Princess in her pink dress.
"She's born 4 months ago. We don't really have a name for her." He said while he walked over to the horse and petted it.
Eva looked at the horse, enjoying that it got attention. "And your name is?" Eva asked him. "I'm Aikka, my father works here." He said. His head turned to her. "What's your name?"
"I'm Eva." She said in a simple reply. Aikka seemed to think for a moment.
"Oh! But then you.. then you must be.." He quickly dropped himself on the ground in a kneeling-way. "Forgive me, my Princess." He said.
Eva chuckled. "No need. I said I was named Eva. Princess is a rare name for a child, don't you think?"
Aikka aloud himself to smile a bit at the humour of the young princess. "I guess."
Eva thought. "Wait." She ran off. Aikka frowned. 1 minute or less later she came back, and her mother was with her this time, so Aikka again dropped himself.
"Stand up silly." Eva said happily. "Mom, this is Aikka! He works here." Meanwhile, Aikka did what she said. "Mommy! I want that horse..! It's just small! Not bigger then a pony!"
The queen seemed to think. She looked at Aikka. Aikka knew what she wanted to ask. "She's not aggressive, it's a full nice horse, and she loves to get attention. I think the Princess can give it even too much."
Maya smiled. He had no idea how much he was right at that point.
She said something to Eva, but because of the distance and the softness of the voice, Aikka couldn't hear a thing.
The queen left again, and Eva walked into the stable, not caring much for the dirt in there. "You were planning to give it a name?"
"It would be my honour to let you do it."
"Is Molly okay?"
"Sure."
Eva smiled widely. "You can ride?" Aikka nodded. "Care to learn me in my free time?"
Aikka smiled to. "It would be my pleasure."
Her mother called that she can have lunch. Eva quickly ran out the stable. But in a second she thought of something and got back.
"Hey.. want to join me for lunch?"
Aikka stiffened, not sure how to respond. "Er.. Okay.. I guess?"
She chuckled, Aikka liked the sound. "You're nice." She said. "I like you."
Good times. Since then they always rode together, for a picnic or if they wanted to swim. He was her best friend, and she could tell anything to him. And even if he dared to call her Princess, or anything else, she could slap him right in his face.
Boy, Aikka knew that. He only called her Princess in several jokes or if he was in the presence of royalty or/and her parents. But alone or in a village she was Eva for him.
Aikka looked at her dress. "I see you want to go ride again?" Knowing that those dresses was one of her favourite riding-dresses if she had to wear one.
Eva nodded. "I thought you prepared picnic!"
"I did, but I didn't knew that you would come already."
"Well, I was bored."
Eva drove Molly faster. A soft laugh escaped her lips. "Come on, you can do better!" She yelled at Aikka who was just a little behind her.
Aikka drove Angus forward, till he was next to her. "Yes, I can. But I think you would like it if you won."
"Oh, don't play that game!" She chuckled. Aikka grinned. "Fine." And again he drove Angus forward, Eva did the same with Molly.
"So you're cousin is back?" Aikka asked when he put the blanket on the ground. Eva sat down gracefully. "Yes, and I'm so happy of it! Since.. Koji died I haven't really talked good to anyone, and then you were gone to a sale to!"
"Hey, I was only gone for 3 days."
"Well, it felt like an eternity."
Aikka smiled. He thought those 3 days were horrible to. If he counted it right, Eva and him had a talk every day, and did something every 2 days. But there were weeks they did something together every day.
"And, what did your father prepared today?" she asked with a grin.
Aikka acted to be offended. "Hey! I did it myself!"
Eva looked at him.
"Mostly then. My father only helped."
"It's okay, I don't care." She smiled at him. Aikka shook his head in annoying, and emptied the back.
Well, this is quit different :l…
Hope you like it!
