•An Unexpected Encounter•

{Previously On "The Crown-Less Princess"}

Aviana had just stumbled upon what seems to be some sort of trap set up. And of course her being her clumsy self, ended up setting off this trap.

So there she was... Upside down hanging off a tree. Could this get any worse for the young lady?...

Oh yes.

Yes it can.

Will Aviana be able to escape this trap?

Will she find her way back?

Will she meet new people?.

Find out the answers to these questions in this chapter of...

"The Crown-Less Princess"

___________________________

Aviana closed her eyes and prayed that this was just a nightmare and she would just wake up like nothing ever happened.

When she said she wanted something interesting to happen today she didn't mean this.

Getting lost in a forest and hanging upside down wasn't really what Aviana had in mind for "interesting"

But that's what she happened to get herself into.

The sound of people talking broke Aviana from her thoughts.

"Hey I think we caught something" A male voice whispered.

"No sh*t Sherlock we clearly heard the trap get set off" Aviana heard some sort of female voice reply, her tone clearly annoyed.

"Hey you don't have to be so mean about it... Well what do you think we caught? it seemed heavy so I think it's a buffalo." The same male voice from earlier spoke again.

Ouch. That must have stung.

"Well why don't you just shut up and let's go check for ourselves." The female replied.

Aviana heard the voices come closer and closer. She soon opened her eyes only to be met with 2 more pairs of eyes.

There stood in front of her was a boy and a girl, both near her age. The boy had brown hair that seemed to be messy and emerald green eyes. The girl on the other hand had some quite unique eyes. She had purple eyes and dirty blonde hair.

They both looked surprised at the sight in front of them.

I mean, they did just find a random girl hanging upside down from a tree because of their trap.

"Oh shi-" The boy started but was soon cut off by the girl.

"Who are you?!" "Why are you here?!"  "Are you a spy?!" "What business do you have" The girl bombarded Aviana with questions.

"I-i mean no harm I swear!! Just get me down and I'll explain everything just get me down." Aviana said flustered by all the questions.

They soon got Aviana down from the trap, but she was quickly held down by the green eyed boy.

"Now... What are you doing here?!" The blonde haired girl asked.

"I wish I knew the answer to that myself, if I'm being honest..." Aviana said, desperately trying to get out of the boy's grip.

"What do you mean?" The brunette asked curiously.

"Well you see.. I was taking a stroll until I found myself lost, and to make matters worse the sun was going down so I couldn't see where I was going! So me being my clumsy self ended up in your little trap." Aviana said, clearly embarrassed about the situation.

"Who in their right mind would take a stroll in the Forbidden Forrest?!" The male said, clearly confused.

"I'm- wait... What did you just say?.. We're where?!!" Aviana said, shocked.

"Girl, do you need to clean your ears or something? I clearly said we're in the forbidden Forrest idiot." The male exclaimed, clearly annoyed.

"I-i.. H-how?!! I was just talking a stroll in my village, Farstar! How'd I end up here?!" Aviana was shouting now.

"We're asking you that! Idiot!" The blonde said irritated once again.

"just let go of her, she clearly can't hurt us." The girl said, sighing in defeat.

"Tch.. Whatever" The male said as he let go of Aviana.

Aviana got up stretching her back as she did, and was soon met with an extended hand in front of her.

Looking to see who the owner of the hand was, she was met with a pair of  purple eyes.

"I'm Karma! And this green eyed idiot next to me is Caspian!" Karma explained.

The so called Caspian just scoffed, clearly uninterested in the conversation.

They soon heard the sound of rustling in the bushes around them.

"We should get away from here. Come on, follow us" Caspian said as he and Karma led Aviana to some sort of secret tree house.

Once they got there Aviana couldn't believe her eyes. The sight around her was amazing. There stood in front of her was a huge tree house that connected to other tree houses too. All connected with either a bridge or some sort of zip line made with vines.

"Quick let's climb up before anyone sees us" Karma says wary.

Karma then started climbing up the tree.

"Caspian, help Aviana up, would ya?" Karma requested.

"Like hell I will!, she can help herself up." Caspian said annoyed.

Karma sent Caspian a glare, clearly wanting him to just shut up and help her.

"Tch fine." Caspian finally agrees, clearly pissed

Caspian grabbed Aviana along with him in a not so gentle way. Once they got to the top Caspian just dropped her on the ground, clearly not caring if she got hurt or not.

"Ouch! You could've at least been more gentle!" Aviana stated as she got off the floor, rolling her eyes in the process.

"Come with me I'll show you where you'll be sleeping for the night!" Karma exclaimed.

Caspian just went off on his own probably to his own room of some sort, as Karma leads Aviana to the place she'll be staying in.

"So... Aviana, where did you say you were from again?" Karma asked as she sat down on the floor.

"Farstar, I'm from the village of Farstar." Aviana replied.

"Oh I heard of that village! I heard everyone there has abilities, mind telling me yours?" Karma asked curiously.

"Oh um... " Aviana started nervously.

Should I tell them I haven't gotten my ability yet? Or should I lie? Damnit this is hard!.

"Well I haven't really had the chance to find out whether I have an ability or not." Aviana finished honestly.

"Oh that's fine! So um.. by the way, are you planning on getting back to your village?" Karma asked.

"Yeah probably.. I mean. How far is it from here anyways?." Aviana asked.

"Actually it's gonna take a lot of time to get there if I'm being honest.. Probably a couple days.. I honestly don't even know how you got here, but don't worry, me and Caspian don't mind accompanying you." Karma explained.

"Who the hell said I don't mind huh?!" Karma and Aviana heard Caspian shout from afar.

"Do you have super hearing or something?! Damn that boy is annoying!." Karma said irritated at Caspian's ignorance.

"Anyways, you should probably get some sleep. I'm gonna go and get some shut eye myself." Karma said yawning in the process.

"Oh and don't mind Caspian he's just being a pain in the-" Karma started but soon got interrupted by an angry Caspian.

"Oui! I can hear you!" Caspian angrily interrupted.

"I swear I wish these walls were sound proof" Karma mumbled as she exited the room where Aviana was.
