章 5: Rescued by the prince
"Julia felt lost and alone, she was starting to fall sick and had nowhere to go.
'Child do you have anywhere to go?" the woman that gave her the water asked,
'No I am all alone" she responded with a frown,
'Come here kid, sit" the woman said and so she did.
'Why are you here child in a place you don't even know?" the woman asked,
"My family kicked me out" she responded then the woman patted her on the head and she smiled with tears in her eyes.
"Here eat this" the woman said then gave her a piece of cake,
"Thank you" she replied then ate the cake.
"It will be night soon" the woman said,
'Yeah I know" she replied as she got up.
'Thank you for your help I shall repay it someday" she said and walked away as the woman left staring at her.
'What a beauty indeed" the woman said to herself with a smile.
Julia walked and looked for a place to stay as night fell but the girl found nothing so she spent another night out in the cold while her father allowed Evan and a few other warriors to come and find her.
Her parents were worried about her but since they believe the boy there was nothing that they could do.
Julia spent another night out in the cold with her bruised body, she laid on the cold ground in the streets and looked up at the stars.
"Sis I might not have known you but I really wish you were here, maybe you would have believed me," she said as tears rolled down her cheek and a star shone brightly and the girl slept away eventually.
Her life was now a nightmare that she hated and didn't want to live for she believed that the very orb she wanted to protect placed a curse on her.
After a long cold night the next morning when the girl woke up she started sneezing.
'Damn it" she said to herself as she stood up.
"I need something warm," she said to herself as she walked and the people stared at her without offering any help.
"There you are," someone said and when she turned around she saw it was the same guy who harassed her yesterday.
'What do you want?" she asked as he grabbed her by the arm and she tried to push him away but she was too weak.
"Let go of me," she said,
"Where is the attitude now?" he asked as she was about to faint but then her eyes started glowing red and she punched him into a vendor stall and everyone gasped as the boy got up bleeding and the people stared at her with fear in their eyes.
"Not that look again, it's the same one my father had," she said to herself then ran away and the guy went after her.
'You are not getting away that easy" he said,
"Please stay away from me I do not want to hurt you" she replied then tripped on a rock and bruised her knees and he grabbed her by the hair then turned her towards him.
"Look at you all helpless and alone," he said as tears ran down her cheek and a little boy threw a rock at him then he released her and she looked at the child.
"Leave her alone," the child said,
"Back off before you get hurt kid" he replied then grabbed the child by the collar since he was not going away and the girl threw a rock at the guy and he laughed.
"Go kid," she said as she struggled to stand up then she heard the commotion as the royal guards were passing through.
'What's going on here?" one of the guards dressed in blue asked as he looked at the girl and there was a guy in a cape on a horse looking right at her.
'Are you okay ma'am?" the guy from the horse asked in a gentle tone as he got off of the horse.
'I am fine thanks" she responded as he brought forth his hand then she grabbed it and he lifted her up from the ground.
'Thank you" she said weakly as she looked at a pegasus surrounded by a serpent crest on his shirt.
"This man was harassing her," the child said,
'I see guards arrest him" the guy said and so the guards did,
"I did nothing wrong, she was the one that started it" the guy said as she guards grabbed him,
"What gives you the right to harass her?" the guy asked then slapped him and Julia gasped.
'Take him away" he said,
'Okay your highness" the guard replied.
"Thank you your highness" the girl said then bowed to him.
'You are welcome" he replied as she started to see double and was about to fall but the guy grabbed onto her and she fainted.
"Your highness" the guard said as the old woman that helped her came to him as he lifted the girl in his arms.
Do you know this girl? where does she live?" the guy asked,
"She lives on the street she arrived here yesterday, the poor girl seems to be in a time of need" the woman responded,
"Okay thank you" he said then placed her on the horse.
"Your highness you don't know the girl" one of the guard said,
"I know but I cannot leave her here in this condition" he replied then rode off with her heading towards the castle.
The guy that helped her was the young prince who was on his way home from hunting.
Upon arriving at the castle which was surrounded by hills and mountains and was at the very end of the city the prince took the girl off of the horse and took her to his chamber in the west wing of the castle.
The young prince placed her gently on the bed then called the court physician to take a look at her after seeing the state she was in.
