Chapter 6

 

Continuing, I told them the plan I had,”We have spare food as well as three horses that we can take. Once we reach the edge of the forest, we can release the horses. I deem that if we were to tie them there, they would be taken by robbers and thieves. Water will most definitely be a problem; however, we can use the bunker that farmer and I have been building in secret for almost 3 years now”.

 

“What bunker?”, the princess asked,“Any secret house or bunker as you say would've been shut down by my father”.

 

“That indeed princess-”

 

“Please call me Hailey, you saved my life and I am entrusting you with it again. We are going into the Endless Forest after all.”

 

“Well then, Hailey, thank you very much, but the thing is, it’s called a secret bunker”, I said quite smugly.

 

“Not really a bunker, more of a... uh, more like a couple of pieces of wood nailed together to offer shelter”, the farmer said, ruining my smug attitude.

 

We all grinned despite ourselves.

 

“Anyway”, I said, recovering,”The bunker will take about two days to get there, including the part where we ride our horses. We only need enough water until we get there. There is a well that we made, quite plentiful, and somehow full all year. Food is the problem though. There are fruits and whatnot of course, but meat will be the problem. But I guess we can survive off fruits and shrubs for the time being.”

 

“Sounds good”, the farmer said, “We’ll head out the day after tomorrow. Until then, pack all the meat the horses can carry, and help me pack all the belongings we have. Once you’re done with that, head back to the village and buy some clothes for Hailey”.

 

“Oh, if that’s the case, I think I have some money-” Hailey said.

 

“It’s all right my girl”, the farmer interrupted,”We’ll take care of all the expenses, you need to worry about keeping safe. Maybe you can show Jonathan here how well you can shoot with your bow”.

 

“You’re right, we’ll need to know your skills if we’re going into the Endless Forest. The farmer does know how to swordfight quite well, and I know how to as well. However, we may need you if the situation gets out of hand”, I said.

 

Hailey replied,”Why don’t I show you after you return from the village, I’m exhausted by the turn of events”.

 

“I understand, I’ll be a while so rest up, it’ll be a long journey”.

 

Chapter 7

I quickly saddled my horse, Taunter and rode north to the village Tarnath. There, they had the best clothes available within a day's ride. By the time I reached there, it was nearly noon. I found a few pieces of clothing for a good price, bought them and folded them carefully and loaded them onto Taunter. I then led him out of the village and let him graze. Because he was a specially trained horse, I didn’t need to tie him up, I just needed to whistle and he would come running; that is of course, if he heard me.

 

Once done, I went back to the village and tried to see if I could find any news about the plague.

 

However, trouble began. Of course I was a wanted man, or at least a wanted boy at that. I hadn’t really done any bad crimes or anything, just uh, “borrowed” things here and there. But I guess over time, the Military Police had become quite aware of my crimes.

 

As I was inspecting some fruits to buy, I felt a blow to my head and for the second time in less than a week, I was out cold.

Approved.

 

 

Edits:

Maybe don't use many contractions for your princess? She is regal after all and has (probably) been given a good education.

 

Nice work though. We're getting somewhere now. Keep it up!
