The Plan
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56“Princess Anatonia???” A very soft voice asked. I really hope that is the two maids. I have been waiting here for about a half hour for them to come.
“Yes?? Are you the two maids I requested to see?” I ask. I hear a small shuffling then a “yes”. So I then said “come in!!” to them.When I first saw both of the maids they looked no older than I was. The first maid that came in was the same height as I was, had raven black hair, icy blue eyes, glacier white skin; as if she hadn’t seen the sun in days, and rosey red lips to top off the whole image. The maid next to her was petite, with honey golden hair, chocolate amber eyes with a tint of green, fair skin, and full pink lips to finish. They both had a natural beauty the total opposite from what I had.Their jaws dropped at the condition I was in. My knee length wavy chesnutt was in massive knots due to water and blankets, my sparkling emerald green eyes red and puffy from crying, and red marks all over my perfectly tanned skin.“Are you ok??” asked the maid with raven black hair.“Fine”I reply “If my plan is going to work I’m going to need to know your names.” Both maids look at me surprised. The girl with the honey golden hair seemed to recover first and said“My name is Arabella but you can call me Bella. I am the maid in training. This is Raven, the maid who talked to you earlier.” Bella says while gesturing to the girl beside her who came in first.They both were much more prettier than I was. To be honest I was really jealous of them. Raven bursts out interrupting my thoughts“Why did you need us for this plan of yours that’s probably not going to work?” she asks snidely. WOW!!!! I thought. This is a very snappy girl. Not surprised, I would be like that if I was the maid serving the princess. I would have thought she was crazy. She was standing there with her arms folded and a fiery passion in her icy blue eyes. Her posture was screaming of defiance to the royal family. I really didn’t want to be that stuck up Princess that everyone hated so I said to her just as definitely“That was unnecessary. Do you know if I wasn’t as nice as I was you’d already be halfway down to the dungeon rotting away for the rest of your life. And I know my plan will work because nobody has tried it before.” The look on her face went from defiance to surprise then to thoughtful.“So you won’t throw me into the dungeons even though I disrespected you??” Raven questions. I shook my head. There is no use of throwing someone in the dungeon when you need them and you want to be a good ruler of the upcoming kingdom.“So what’s the plan??” Bella asked.“The plan is that I am going to go to a different country or mainland to meet some different suitors. But the only problem is, I can’t go alone. I have to at least have an escort. Two escorts are even better though.” I replied. Both of them looked surprised. It is an honor to be asked by a Princess or the Royal Family to be their escort or to go somewhere with them. The escort would be a knight, not a butler much less a maid from the castle.“You want us to be your escorts??” stutters Bella. I nod my head. Before Bella can say anything else Raven says“It would be an honor to escort you, Princess Anatonia. What time will we be leaving??”“Tonight. And please call me Tonia. No princess attached please. Go pack your bags and meet me back in my room at 10 o’clock sharp.” I say. They looked so excited. “Ok!!” They both say. “But remember; do not tell anyone what you are doing.” I commanded. They nodded their heads and scurried out.Related chapters
The Island of Astora Getting Out of the Castle
I look in the mirror trying to figure out what to do with my hair. Nothing is working, I don’t even know how to do my own hair without a maid. Luckily I already packed everything in my bag that I am going to take with me. Raven and Bella arrive 15 minutes before 10 o’clock. Raven saw I was struggling with my hair and clothes so she came over to help me. She brushed through my hair so much that it was as soft and smooth as the best silk in the world. Then she pulled my wavy knee length hair into two french braids. After she reached for my favorite white headband, put it on then went to do my makeup. First she put on my foundation. Then my pink creamy lip gloss with my golden blush. Lastly she put on my warm brown eyeshadow with black eyeliner and mascara. Finally I looked in the mirror………. Wow!! I look awesome, better than usual. “Thank you Raven for doing my hair and makeup” I say gratefully. She nods with a smile on her face, very proud of herself. I get my bags from under my bed.
The Island of Astora The Cargo Ship Docks
We quietly move along the leaves to get to the forest. Once we were at the forest we broke into a full sprint to the docks. Finally we slow at the edge of the forest where the docks are.“Alright guys, we need to get into Blue Jay inconspicuously. What is going to happen is we are going to get into the box that says Dresses For Royals and camp their till we are on board under deck. How we are going to get off is we are going to get in the box that says Hay For Farms. Once they put the box down and go back to get more, we get out and sprint till we are far enough away to look normal. Got the plan?” I say. Bella and Raven nod, they know most of the overall plan. But on the other side Leo and Anthony look skeptical. “Do they check the boxes before??” asks Anthony.“No they have already done that a hour ago. The ship leaves in 25 minutes we need to get in the box.” I reply. They all nod in agreeance. Quickly Leo runs out and gets in the box. Anthony makes sure it is clear then runs out
The Island of Astora The Ride
When we were on water for about 25 minutes I shook awake Raven and Bella.“We need to go to the box that says Hay For Farms then we can sleep until morning” I say in a whisper. They all nod. Slowly and carefully I make my way out of the box. I left the sheepskin cause it has to stay in the box of clothing. Once I was out of the box I crouch down and wait for the rest of my crew. Slowly one by one they get out. Once they were all out I tiptoe to the box that says Hay For Farms and get in. “Is everyone ok??” Tony asks as soon as we were all in. We all nod our heads. “I’ll take first watch.” he says after. We all nod again. Raven and Bella go right to sleep. Leo goes up and gives Tony a fist bump the retires to go to sleep. He must’ve thought I’ve gone to sleep because when I shifted he looked up quick.“Tonia you need to go to sleep. You can’t stay up all night” he said relieved it was me not anyone else.“I can’t sleep. I usually can’t sleep when I doing something this exciting.” I re
The Island of Astora Welcome to Anera
I wake to the sound of a sailer calling “LAND AHOY!!” immediately I look around everyone was asleep. Bella fell asleep on watch duty. I shake awake the others but putting my finger to my lips so they’d stay quiet. As Raven starts to rub her eyes to wake herself up, we hear“Ok Britt, The box we will start with is Hay For Farms to get that out of the way, then we will have to get out all the other boxes slowly so we don’t have to do a lot of boxes.” a sailer said.“I agree with you Tindi.” said Britt I quess.“Alright then. Let's get started.” I think Tindi said.Quiet as ever we sat in the box full of yellow grainy hay. Soon later the box we were in got hoisted in the air. It started to move. The movements were quite jerky at first, then later got in a smooth motion. After 2 more minutes the box seemed extremely hot and had about no more air in it. Finally we get set down and I made sure I heard the slow scuffing of the sailors boots. I slowly opened the top of the box to see it’s day
The Island of Astora Run in With the Royal Family
As soon as we finished breakfast and payed 20 gold coins; which was overpay; the royal family of Anera came into the restaurant and everyone stopped talking and kneeled. Bella, Raven, Leo, and Tony knowing the drill kneels to the royal family. But I do not. They look around the room and their eyes settle on me.“Why are you still standing young girl?” The king asked “It is disrespectful to us.” his three sons shot angry glares at me and his wife looked at me in disgust.“I shall not bow down to anyone no higher nor lower than me. I shall show all respect in which is needed for you do not know who I am and can not and will not tell me what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. For after all you have no strength over me.” I reply. My father would’ve been proud of me, He always hated it when I did it incorrectly. But this time I look the Authority here in the eye. Gasps rippled across the room and the king turned angry“I have no need not to know who you are to make you bow down to me
The Island of Astora Danger in the Woods
We had been walking for about an half hour when we came across the woods we were supposed to go in but it has been an hour since the meeting with the royal family.“Honestly Raven, how much longer??”I complain. I’ve hated walking since I was 13. It’s such a waste of time.“A little longer.” she replies, “She hates her house being easy to find.”As we kept walking and I kept up my constant complaining in my head I hear a bird caw. I look up and see the most prettiest bird I have ever seen sitting on the branch.“Tonia, we have to keep walking if you want to get to wise grandma’s hut.” Raven said impatiently. “Fine, can’t I just see an exotic bird once.” I grumbled.We kept walking. Then all of a sudden I hear a crunch and whispering, I freeze. Someone was following us.“Tonia-aaa!” complains Bella. “How many times do we have to say this keep-”“SHH!” I say. “Someone is following us!”“I don’t hear anything” Leo accused, “So I highly-!!” Right before Leo could finish his sentence nets
The Island of Astora The Ball of Elegance
I run as fast as I can into the woods hoping no one is following me. What seems after 20 minutes of running I slow to a stop in front of a stream. I sit and take out a paper, quill, and ink. I start to write down words that came from the depths of me not knowing how I know them.5 teens shall run awayAnd enter a world where magic playsOne shall get them out aliveThe choices made shall be the driveThe prophecy!!! I just wrote down the prophecy without meaning to. I didn’t want my companions to find me but I don’t think I had a choice. So while I waited for them to find me I started to sing.“I said hey, hey, hey, you’re a part, of, me, I-”“Tonia!! There you are we have been looking for you all over!” Ravens says running up to me. I look into her mind‘Oh selfish brat. I wish I didn’t even have to work here. I should’ve just left her to die. Whoa, wait. That’s the prophecy she’s holding. I wish I could just stop pretending that I cared for her.’I pull out of her head and look at h
The Island of Astora The Battle of the Castle
Alexander starts to pull me toward his parents, but his grip slips when the crowd pushes around us. I look around me trying to find familiar faces but can’t. I slowly start to panic. What if my friends left me here because they didn’t like me or care for me at all? I went into a full blown panic attack. While I was trying to work through the panic attack, I didn’t realize that I had stopped walking and the ballroom had been emptied and doors had been locked. I looked around, and then froze as still as a statue.“You know, you are more trouble than your worth, Princess. Did you know that?” said a dreadingly familiar voice. I slowly turned around to see Sir Camelot right behind me. My full blown panic attack went even higher. And I went out of control. My body was in auto pilot, I was shaking so much my teeth were chattering, I was crying till I couldn’t see straight, and sounds of hysteria were ripping from my chest. As he crept closer and closer Sir Camelot raised his sword preparing

The Island of Astora Raven . . . is Royalty
The chaos in the room suddenly ceased and Bella screamed. “Raven!! What happened to you?!” It was obvious that Bella was at the end of her string and about to go into a full blown panic attack. But before I could get a word out the princess said“There is no way she’s a fairy. I’ve never heard of a fairy being a late bloomer before. And also it is absolutely not possible that she could have royal blood in her.” Then, like a ton of bricks: when royal fairies get their wings at 8 years old, they go into cocoons the color of their wings. Having that knowledge on fairies, it all made sense. Raven's mother was human, so her late father should have been a fairy. And no ordinary fairy at that, a royal one. “That totally makes sense now,” I start, “Raven's mother, a human, died years ago and she never knew her father. Her mother said he died right after she was born.” The blood from the prince’s face slowly drained until he looked white as a ghost. “What was her name??” He asked hoarsely.
The Island of Astora The Surprise
It felt as if wind was flying through my hair, but it wasn’t cold at all. The hands the were on my waist slowly slide around me till I was in the males arms and they tightened their hold on me. My body was relaxing carefully as if there was any sign of danger I would go back into the full scale panic attack. I felt warm, I felt a sense of belonging - then I blacked out.“Tonia?? Can you hear me?” A ruff male voice startled me awake. I didn’t recognize it. Instead of answering I decided to do a full body check. Head… check, arms… check, legs and torso… check and check. I open my eyes and stare into a worried pair of forest green eyes. “Wh - who are you?” I managed to stutter out. The worry in the forest green eyes lesson. The male pulls back and reveals most of his face. “Come on, Tonia, you know who I am.” the ruff voice of this male. And indeed I did, it was Tony.“Tony? Is that you? What happened to your voice? And where are the others? But better yet, where are we?” I was disorie
