Hey guys I'm back with another story :D this one I feel really good about. they are in slightly medieval times but also quite modern. I will try to slip in the odd known character but no promises.
Kim
My eyes shot open, my head jerked from side to side as I smiled and took in my surroundings. I looked out the balcony window and saw a bird chirping in the morning sun. I stretched my arms and threw my covers off running down the stairs of the large castle to eat my breakfast. I jumped the last three steps leading to the kitchen and almost toppled over marge the head chef.
"Careful Kim, what's the hurry?" She said as she looked down on me a smirk on her face. Even though I will be turning sixteen in a few days the large servant towered over me like the castle towered over the village.
"I'm going on an adventure today!" I said excitedly sounding slightly like I did when I was a young child. I have always wanted to go outside of the village but I won't be allowed to until I am appointed.
"Now Kim you know that your father won't let you go outside of the village. You are the princess and your guardian hasn't even been sent to you yet." She said looking at me with knowing eyes. I slumped my shoulders nodding but then my face lit up.
"But he will be coming soon right." I said and she gave me a hesitant nod and I ran off in the direction of the village. I slowed down to a casual walk waving and smiling at the people that were emerging from their small houses that we're dwarfed even more by the large castle in which I lived.
"Morning princess!" One of the villagers shouted while milking a cow. I waved back smiling at the young girl who ran out of the stables eager to say hello and in the process tripped over her father's bucket in which he had a full pale of milk.
"Kim! Kim, did you hear your guardian is on his way from the unnamed regions, top of his class just like you requested! But mother seems worried he is only a sixteen year old just like you and he is so well trained." I turned around to see Grace my best friend and the high priests daughter babbling on about the guardian that has apparently been assigned to me. Suddenly I became extremely nervous your guardian is with you for your entire life or theirs. They are trained extremely well and it is said some of them could take on an entire army. They are sent away when very young to the unnamed regions where they train.
"Calm down Grace." I held her shoulders until her breathing became more relaxed but her grin was still present.
"Kim, this is so important though! I hope he's cute. Maybe you will marry him." She said smiling and I gasped.
"Guardians are trained not to show any affection. He will probably be some gross guy with greasy hair and never bathes." I said squeezing my nose causing Grace to laugh along with me.
"You know some of the higher subjects have to marry their guardians so they can go undercover so enemies won't recognize them." She said whispering in my ear which made me blush at the thought of having to marry somebody at such a young age.
"Princess Kimberly!" I whipped around and spotted Grace's mom waving her arm up in the air from the castle gates the other hand holding up her dress. Me and Grace ran towards her as she laughed at our immature behaviour.
"Kim I know you wanted to have fun today but I'm afraid you have to get ready for your guardians arrival." She said and my shoulders slumped slightly because I knew what this meant. I had to do my hair and put on make-up and wear a dress. I frowned at the fact I had to get all dressed up to impress some boy that probably looks like a toad.
"I heard he's cute." She said smiling at the fact that she has been keeping tabs on all the possible guardians.
"Well what are we waiting for, I need to look good!" I said running through the gates of the castle Grace right behind me.
"All done." Grace's mom said with a smile on her face as she placed my tiara on top of my head. I turned around to face the mirror and I was surprised at the reflection. My hair was long and straight with bangs covering my left eye and the tiara fit perfectly on my blond locks. The dark red dress fit perfectly defining my curves but looking presentable at the same time, it had one strap and cut off just below the knees and I had red heels to match. I smiled at my red lipstick that made me look very sassy and at the fact that this boy won't know what hit him. I heard a knock on the door and Grace who was squealing in the chair next to me ran to go get it. She opened it revealing my mother.
"Kim hurry and come down the stairs he is arriving." Grace grinned from behind the door and my mother rushed out the door followed by me, I only turned back to blow a quick kiss to Grace's mom and mouth a "thank you". I burst through the gates fixing my hair as I took my place next to my mother and father.
"You look beautiful." My mother said through her teeth but looking straight ahead making sure to stay smiling.
"Thanks mom!" I said grinning and making sure to clone her every move. I heard a scream from the messenger on top of the lookout point.
"Here he comes!" I smiled trying to peer past the tree line to get a good look at him. In an instant he broke through and a jet black horse and came to a slow stop in front of me. He hopped off of his horse and knelt down on the ground. His sword was buckled in and I guaranteed he knew how to use it.
"Guardian I hereby appoint you to be Kimberly Ann Crawford's loyal guardian." My father said handing him two boxes. He looked up and I got a good look at his face. He flipped his hair slightly and my eyes widened at hot handsome he was. Grace's mom was right drop dead gorgeous. He stood up his shirt stretching revealing his toned chest and biceps, my mom elbowed me lightly winking at me causing me to blush. He stood up his stare still blank as he looked at me, his mouth remained still but his eyes looked eager. He stood up towering over me he handed me the red box and he kept the blue box. This part of the ceremony I was not aware of, he opened up his box and as I stood motionless he raised his eyebrow slightly jerking his head towards the box I gently opened it. His blue box contained a beautiful red ring and my red box contained a blue ring. He took it out of the box and I mimicked him and he held out his hand as did I.
"Kimberly Ann Crawford you have been appointed your guardian, Jackson Anderson!" My father shouted and we slid the rings onto each others fingers and I looked into his eyes and smiled at the fact that they were filled with joy.
What did you think should I continue? Yes there will be kick :D Please review and I will try to update in a few days! LOVE YOU ALL
