Prince Edward White

The competition was fierce. He'd never felt so competitive in his life and he was usually a perfect gentleman. Now however, he was determined to win and defeat was not an option. The stack of books kept piling up as Edward kept striving to win so he could finally say he'd beaten her at something

Edward didn't have much to do that afternoon so he was spending his time wandering around the marketplace of a nearby kingdom. It was a much warmer climate in this kingdom than he was used to, but he didn't mind. It was an interesting experience considering he didn't even know which kingdom he was in. It didn't look familiar at all. So, he just decided to wander around, hoping that the villagers would mistake him for a peasent boy.

The night was hot an humid as Edward lay on the grass on the palace gardens, but he didn't mind at all. In fact, he enjoyed the heat and felt it helped clear his mind of everything that had been stressing him out lately, starting with his sistet's disappearence. They used to be very close as children, but as time passed they started to see each other less and less until they practicxally ignored each other's existence. Edward wished he cared more about finding her, but she was honestly such a stranger to him now he didn't even have an basis for that desire. Still, the sky was clear and speckled with stars that enchanted every part of Edward. They gave him hope and happiness, something he hadn't had very much of lately. He was completely alone in life now, but at least the stars gave him the temporary illusion that his life was actually pleasent.

Edward's body was shivering as he lied awake in his bead. His sister had been gone for who knows how long and his parents were on another royal duties trip. The windows in his room wouldn't stay shut and the wind kept the blowin the covers off his bed. Instead of sleeping, all he could do was think. That is, until he suspected there was an intruder in his midst. "Who's there?!" he demanded.
