Third Person~~~

Felicia sat in her room crying. "Why?" She whispered. She knew that Alexia was down in a different room getting worshiped, while Felicia was forgotten. No one would think "Poor Felicia. She lost her brother and father in one foul swoop. Since her mother died she has no family. Now what will happen to her now?" She thought "I'll marry Anthony then I'll be queen." Felicia cried. Alexia killed her brother. She was despicable. Anthony may have taken down her father, but he was already broken. Another tear escaped when she realized that Nicholas was too. Did she want Anthony anymore? He wasn't any better.

A knock was at the door. "Who's there?" No reply. "Who's there?" Still no noise. Felicia opened the door when she saw something down the hallway. Curious she followed.

She couldn't bring herself to enter the room where she had lost so much. so she entered the kitchens. "Excuse me?" She approached a maid. "Has someone been here?" The kitchen maid opened her mouth to answer, when a clanging was heard. "What's that?" Felicia was feeling nervous.

"Someone in the castle!" Nina ran in. "Where's Alexia?" Felicia asked. "Down the hall, warning others. We noticed something was up when Jane, the kitchen maid discovered her door broken down. Then her window was open. We-the princess Alexia George and I- suspect whoever it was went to your room, Felicia."

"Someone was at my room! Could a guard go check? He might be going through my stuff!" I exclaimed. That's the least of our worries. I believe he's trying to assassinate someone-probably Alexia." Because Alexia is so important. "Now what?" Felicia tore at her hair. "We wait until the princess or king gives clearance.

"How long?" Felicia could hold out no longer. She sprinted up to her room. Empty. Next room. Empty. She looked through all the rooms on that floor, Despite Thomas's protests.

She reached the tower. Someone had been there. Felicia let out a shriek as someone tackled her, shoving her in a sack.

Alexia ran into the kitchens. "Where's Thomas?" She asked, frantically looking around. "Looking for Felicia. She ran off." Nina stood there seeming stressed. "We have to find them! I don't know who's here." Alexia drew her sword and headed down the hall. There was no sounds. If she didn't know better she would think that the castle was empty. All of the guests had been ushered into spare, and were instructed to remain silent with their doors locked until Alexia, Thomas, or George told them otherwise.All of this had happened so fast. One moment she was enjoying herself, the next she was mourning the death of a long gone friend, and now she was trying to find someone who broke in the palace. She reached the tower and gasped. stuff was strewn everywhere, the window was open. A note sat by the windowsill. "Alexia and Anthony, I have Felicia held captive. the only way to get her back is to find me. I'm in the forest; come find me." Alexia stared at the letter. She couldn't believe he had abducted Felicia. Yet he had signed his name at the bottom. Alexia walked stiffly down the stairs. Someone else had to have forged his handwriting.She knew the maze like the back of her hand, but the forest was vast, so she would have trouble tracking him down. Alexia ran down the stairs and ran into Thomas. "Felicia... Kidnapped... have to save her." "Tell me what happened Alexia!" Alexia repeated everything to Thomas. His eyes widened when he heard who was responsible. "We have to get people around to help. ANTHONY!" Thomas yelled. Anthony appeared before them, along with George. The news was repeated, and the group rushed through the maze. They ran around the forest until Alexia realized that they were desperately lost. "I have no idea where we are or where we need to be." Thomas tried to comfort her, but she pushed him away. "I don't need to be comforted." "Alexia." He leaned in to kiss her, but she turned away. "I don't need romance. I don't want your help! I just lost a friend and I have no idea what to do, so please just stop with the affection!" Alexia pushed him back once more and walked ahead. Alexia let this fountain of rage, sadness, and hate flow out of her."Felicia is gone, Nicholas is dead, we're lost in the forest, and you're thinking of romance!? What's wrong with you?" Thomas is taken aback. "Bu-but Alexia." Alexia walked over to Anthony and George. "Why don't you just try to go back on your own. The real reason you're here is me. Have you even thought about Felicia this entire time? Go."

"Alexia!" Thomas protests. "Go!" Alexia stumbled away from them all, every step losing herself more, not only in the woods, but in her infinite anger. "Alexia?" "Go away, Thomas." "It's me, Shane." Alexia looked up at Shane. She sat down, cried, and told Shane everything that had happened to her that day. When she finished Shane grabbed her hand. "So much, in one day." He whispered. "I think I saw someone down that path." As it turned out, Shane knew his way around this part of the forest extremely well. They reached a clearing. In it stood the person who broke into the castle, who kidnapped Felicia, and who signed his name on the note. Christoph.

"How could you?" More confusion ran through her head. "I thought we were on good terms." "We are. I want to talk to Anthony though. I stole Felicia so he would come. Then he would forgive me, and I go back to our old friendship, or we would fight to the death. Where is he, anyway?"

"Christoph, A lot is going on." Alexia once again explained what happened. The rest of the group showed up soon. "You." Anthony was trembling with rage. "Anthony, I apologize for trying to kill you. Will you forgive me? If not I believe we will have to take drastic measures and battle to the death." "I was willing to forgive you until you abducted Felicia." "Anthony? I'm okay." Felicia voice came out. "I will destroy you!" Anthony's anger was getting the better of him. "Don't fight him, Christoph." Felicia voice was soft. "I won't." Anthony raised his sword to strike, but Shane stopped him. "Please Anthony." Anthony breathed in, out, in, out. "Okay." Felicia ran up to Anthony and embraced him. Shane threw his arms around Alexia and they hugged. "It looks like they're still on thin ice though." Alexia kept her tone down. She noticed Thomas glaring at her like he wanted to seriously hurt her. Alexia didn't really care, he would probably get over it. She realized that he wasn't glaring at her. He was glaring at Shane.

(A.N): How was that? I thought it was pretty awesome myself but what do you guys think of it????
