Escaping!

##Carla##

Johny: We didn't Die!

Johny said as we were walking inside the castle, It was too early to to celebrate, Zeze and her Dad was injured earlier today

Carla: Am going to visit Zeze

Johny: Okay.

Carla: Coming?

Johny: Must I?

Carla: Please

Johny: Fine, that doctor is soo weird.

Carla: Tell me about it.

We walked in to find both horses in a bubble of water. Zeze was still unconscious But the Dad was awake.

Older horse: Thank you for taking my Daughter as your companion, words cannot express the gratitude I have in my heart.

Carla: She is the only one fitting such position.

I said clenching my fist remembering what the other horses said about her.

Doctor: The female horse exhausted her powers, She was not train to use her power yet , the hit in the head caused her body to reboot, She will wake up in two days.

Carla: Thank you, Her Dad?

Doctor: Poor diet, doesn't take care of his body, my Queen His body is exhausted.

Carla: Why do you keep pushing yourself?

I said scowling him

Older horse: I have three daughters still at home, not to mention a wife. I can't be lazy, no matter the job, Is fine, regardless how unfair it is, I need it to get hay to bring home.

Carla: Aren't your home filled with Grass? why not eat the grass.

older horse: You must not know the floor is baren, nothing can grow in our home, the grass and trees are fake.

Carla: Sorry I didn't know.

Older horse: Not alot people do, Queen mother was kind enough to make it look real. In Reality we are starving.

Carla: You mention work, what type of work do you do?

Older horse: carriage pulling, if someone is moving I got this big storage on wheel, for a small fee I will help you move, so I will be gone for the whole day but still don't make enough to feed me and my family.

Carla: What's your fee?

Older horse: Hay, to be honest that's what I need, some good days they will pay in carrots, it's been a while since I was rewarded with apples. The nobles have the status to go to other kingdoms and get food, but we as commoners have nothing of value to trade.

Carla: I see

Doctor: Hey king, bring your majesty to get some rest she is showing signs of exhaustion. You could check on the patients tomorrow.

Carla: No, I want to stay.

Doctor: If you stay you have to allow me to see how you intake.

Carla: OHHHH OKAYYY GREAT, I will see you tomorrow.

The doctor started laughing, so did Johny as if He knows what He is talking about.

Johny accompany me to our bedroom, I took a shower, I got out the bath first, Johny was scrubing extra today, like He was trying to Appear extra clean or something. One thing for certain is; I am definitely sleepy. Laying my head on the bed, I feel myself Drifting off.

##Johny##

Oh Great, she's asleep! after I try to be squeaky clean for her. I lay my head down and drift to sleep as well. The next morning she was not on the Bed, I wonder where did she go? I really needed a release, since am married now I don't see the point of doing it myself, but man its been 3 to 4 days now. "Carla" I thought. As cleon come in the room with his head bowed, I couldn't help but laugh.

Johny: Good morning General

Cleon: Good morning, my Queen

Completely ignoring me Bowing his head

Johny: Hahahaha she is not here.

Cleon: Then why am I on my knees?

Johny: Believe it or not am still royalty.

He got up and sat next to me on the bed.

Cleon: What do you want? calling me this early in the morning?

Johny: Hahaha I've been made aware there is certain places in the kingdom that are not fruitful

Cleon: You talking about the horse kingdom

Johny: Yeah how do you know?

cleon: It's the horse kingdom, then the beavers, the squirrel..

Johny: What have my father done about it?

Cleon: Your Dad have strength that's true, this is a natural crisis, there is nothing he can do.

Johny: Do you think Nature will answer if I pray.

Cleon: Hmm I don't know I heard she is quite mean.

Johny: Oh yeah, she is.

Cleon: We might need to turn to science on that one.

Johny: What are you talking about?

Cleon: You know bowels help the grass grow right?

Johny: You want me to spread poop around the kingdom?

Cleon: Yeah, I do it by my house, Now am growing flowers.

Johny: We are dealing with prideful animals....Ouh I got it

Cleon: What?

Johny: We could trade within the kingdom!!

Cleon: What will you trade?

Johny: Let's see what they want?

I quickly bathe, I took my instalaxian shape heading out; Am sure I will need it.

Johny: Which kingdom is the most prosperous?

Cleon: The stupid Pig's kingdom!

Johny: Hahaha why you call it stupid?

Cleon: Personal reasons

Johny : Okay?

Cleon: Did you hear about your wife yesterday?

Johny: She didn't tell me anything, what happened?

Cleon: The horse kingdom got your wife heated boy, haha literally.

He told me What happend from start to finish. No wonder she came home in flames, They Hurt someone she cares about, I wondered what made her stop from obliterating them. She easily could.

Cleon: Them horses are in intensive care.

Johny: I see

Cleon: Queen mother would of killed them.

Johny: No doubt

Cleon: Your Dad would give them the death penalty.

Johny: That's usually the route they will take.

Cleon: Everyone is on the edge of their seat, they don't know what Your wife may do, The silence is killing them.

Johny: I will talk to her, plus Her name is Carla

Cleon: Oh I don't know if me and the queen are on first name basis yet. Is best to keep a low profile

I Ignore His last comment, He never had any respect for females before? now his humbly nice.

Cleon: Are we taking the carriage?

Johny: Yeah that might be best, bring some extra soldiers to help as well.

Cleon: Ok , Am on it.

Johny: I'll go get Z

Entering the stable I seen Z looked sad.

Johny: What's wrong budy?

Z: She got hurt because I didn't go with her.

Johny: Honestly I don't know how much you would of helped, she was against two elite horses, She still handle her own.

Z: She is pretty amazing isn't she?

Johny: I heard the Queen handle it on her behalf

Z: Yes, I am eternally grateful to her.

Johny: Your over due for your first royal visit.

Z: If I see them, I don't know what I would do my king.

Johny: Well its an good thing, they are in extensive care.

Z Bowed His head agreeing to go with me. I later met up with cleon, He didn't look soo thrill to go; I wonder why?

Cleon: I have four carriages and soldiers to occupy them.

Johny: Good job, let's go!

We headed to the pigs kingdom first, cleon chooses to ride behind me saying it's his strategy. That was weird but who knows, things might of change in my absence.

When we arrive, I quickly hop off the carriage. I had a lot of work to do; not enough time to do it.

Leader pig: Good morning your majesty

He said while bowing his head

Johny: Good morning

He looks like any regular pig, pink all over but He was able to talk.

Leader pig: Did you come for a companion? I was starting to believe you guys had forgetting about this kingdom. It's always the other animals who gets chosen.

Johny: Sorry to hear that. Am actually here to see about your kingdom

Leader pig: No offense your majesty but for what?

Johny: There is alot of part in the kingdom that is starving, looking around you have several fruit trees, vegetables that could help our causes

Leader pig: Of course we would love to help your majesty.

I don't know what happend, but He suddenly became very angry.

Leader pig: What are you doing here? I had banish you!!

Cleon: You can't banish me if I volunteeredly left. stupid pig!

Leader pig: How dare you?

Johny: Whats going on?

Leader pig: You are band for life!! I don't want you to step your feet here

Cleon: Am a general, So I'll do as I please.

Leader pig: You? don't make me laugh.

He turn looking at me to confirm, I shook my head "yes"

Leader pig: Well you guys have lowered your standard in the military?

Cleon: Hey don't you dare! you pile of bacon!!

The pig gasp in anger

Leader pig: You know that's the forbidden word in these parts.

Cleon: How do you band facts?

Leader pig: If am bacon. Then your a fashion-nista

Everyone who is anyone knows the leopard tribe have been wiped out. Long ago this was not a peaceful kingdom, we constantly fought with other kingdoms. The group that was usually closes to the battle was the leopard. Our enemy use them for their speed, strength and those who refuse would die getting skin alive. Some of our enemy was bold enough to wear them as fashion. Alot of them escape, Cleon was still a cub. When My father use to drop me in the forest He help me track my way back and I was happy to find a friend in the wilderness. That's how He became a family friend. We tolerate him not caring that He have no home training.

Cleon: You sack of grease.

Leader Pig: Bring it you waste of talent

Johny: ENOUGH!

They both stop talking and looked towards me .

Johny: Why are you guys fighting?

Leader pig: Tell him General

Cleon: I slept with his wife.

It took everything in me not to laugh. What happend when I left? I know He love the ladies but a whole pig, That's crazy!! not to mention a married pig.

Cleon: Don't just stand there say something!!!

Johny: Um Mr pig

Leader pig: The name is Frank

Cleon: It should of been drank. that's a way cooler name.

Johny: Honestly not right now.

I said while looking at him with seriousness

Cleon: Sorry proceed.

This pig came by she was walking on 4 legs I wondered why? They are able to walk on Their two back legs. When she reached us she bowed of course, Then she lift up her body, Then wow that belly.

Woman: Heyyy cleon!

Frank: Pretend He is not here peaches, He is still band!

Peaches: You know we're expecting right cleon?

I nearly choked on my spit.

Frank: No, my darling were expecting.

Cleon: Well um...

I quickly head back to the carriage, I couldn't hold it back anymore, this was the funniest thing I've ever witnessed, wait till I tell Carla this. I took a stroll on Z back, explaining to him what just happened, even He laughed, Z never laughs.

When He race up to us. Me and Z just rolled on the ground!!!

Johny: Hahahahahah have you thought of a name?

Cleon: That child is not mine.

Johny: How do you know?

Cleon: Remember I told you, I will only multiply with one of my own in order to help my race.

Z: Regardless if any of those kids are yours, the child is your responsibility.

Johny: I agree

Cleon: Why don't y'all just butt out. alright

Me and Z continued laughing, we circled again to find the pig standing in the same area we left him in.

Frank: What we want in exchange your highness, Is bread

Cleon: Why?

He completely ignored Clqeon.

Johny: Why bread?

Frank: That's the only thing we don't have.

Johny: That's one of the things our kingdom deprived off. I don't know...

Frank: Tell you what, I'll sweeten the deal, we have a lot of those rubies and diamond, we have no use for them. We will also give you those, cause honestly it's just taking up space.

Johny: That won't replace your contributions to the kingdom, this is a different alliance.

Frank: Understood your highness

Johny: Ok

Frank: I would prefer you to come take it, I would hate for some leopard to start a business with it.

Staring at cleon.

Johny: Yes, this will be a gift from the pig kingdom to the new Queen.

Frank: Even better.

So instead of filling up the carriage with eatable stuff it was just jewls, diamonds and fortune. They have alot of caves, so I understand how they have soo much jewls. But now the horses still need me to bring something

Frank: It's something on your mind your majesty?

Johny: If it's okay with you, can I bring some food to the horse kingdom?

Frank: I trust your word. Yes you can, but not a single more until we receive our bread.

I ordered more carriages to bring food over to the horse kingdom. It was getting pretty late I did not want Carla waiting too long.

Cleon: That's alot of treasure my man.

Johny: Yes, enought to create her first vault.

Cleon: Or you can invest in a business

Johny: Really?

Cleon: Yes with just one jewl too, they all look huge. All of them worth a fortune.

We finally made it the horse palace.

The blue horse ran to me, seems like a mid age horse, not too much years

Blue Horse: Are you here to officially punish my son for his stupidity your highness?

Johny: No.

He backed up a little, He was crying, under his eyes had dark circles signaling lack of sleep.

Johny: Are you well?

Blue horse: Of course, it's just I don't know what the Queen is going to say, My son is fighting for his life right now, If He get banish, we will have to kick him out of town, with no doctors in his condition; his as good as Dead. He is such a stupid, stupid horse.

Johny: I'll talk to the queen, you take care of your son, how long have you been standing in the front gate? waiting on the majesty?

Blue horse: 2 days now.

Johny: Go home. I'll talk to the queen, she is more forgiving then she seems.

Blue horse: Oh, thank you.

Me, cleon, and the soldiers handed food out to the poor first, then we move up in status.

Some ask "Are we sure? because this is apples, carrots, and hays" I tried to give them enough food for the week, until I could figure the commands of the Pigs. I didn't make it to the nobles but am sure they are fine.

Cleon: Sire we are out of food.

Johny: It's time we got back to the castle.

We rode back to the castle. I picked a underground room and called it Carla vault, I can't wait to fill it up for my beautiful queen. I sealed it with my magic, which means I or Carla are the only on who could open it, her being my other half, we share magic capabilities. I huried to my bedroom. Expecting for my queen to have bathe, sweet smell

filling up our room. No ones in the room? I went to take a shower. I will demand her to tell me where she's been!

A few minute later she came in the room, she was covered in mud, dirt, bleeding every where. I was shock,

Carla: I officially hate your sister.

Then it hit me; she started her queen training. What she should of learn as a child she is now learning as an young adult.

Johny: Oh babe!

Carla: All this time, I thought she liked me.

I went in the bathroom after her, we Continued talking.

Carla: How was your day?

She said as she get into the water? I took the liberty to add some ice in there for her Because of her ability I'm able to make ice with my hands now. Everytime our souls intertwined we become more as one. Am sure she starting to feel my strength. I can't wait until am able to do fire like her.

Carla: Thanks for the ice baby.

She said getting out, she look worst then when she went it.

Her face was swollen, Her body looked bruised, turning to colors black and blue. My Poor baby.

Johny: Who's your instructor?

Carla: Your sister crazy self.

Johny: She is pretty tough, she won't let up.

Carla: Tell me about it. ah ah ah ah

She said while getting into the bed. My heart ache I couldn't ask her now, look at her? Ugh good night I guess.

##Carla##

Sarah: On your feet your highness

Carla: It's 5 am?

Sarah: War waits on No one.

Carla: Fine.

Sarah: Meet me by the great oak tree.

Carla: Basically, same place yesterday?

Sarah: Yes.

I got dress and headed to the tree behind the castle. Waiting on Sarah I heard a wind like sound I turn around; she kicked me in the face!!

Sarah: Where is your defense?

Carla: Ugh

Sarah : You can't rely on your emotions to draw out your power, you need to be able to do it voluntarily.

Carla: Okay

Sarah: Pick up your stick?

Carla: Ugh that again? I suck with a stick.

Sarah: Pick up your stick!

Carla: Fine.

I picked up the stick knowing, am going to regret it. She launch at me, Hitting me in the face, arms, legs.

Sarah: Your feet is not Two feet apart. It'l be hard to keep your balance.

Carla: Okay

I spread my legs more but that gave her more of a open, at the end I figured a strategic withdraw would be most useful to me.

I kept on flying until I can see trees, then drop. Thinking I can hide here until sunset. The trees was soo beautiful, I always had a thing for nature. I heard them start singing. I was shaking my head "no, keep it quiet "

Trees:

Highness is hiding,

whoo,

I wonder from who?

She looks bruise up,

ouh yeah

I wonder from who.

Then there is this little one

hitting these high notes

tree:

By whooooooooooo

I swear these Dam trees.

Satphire: Why are you here?

Carla: Oh great

Guess someone came to see who the trees was singing about.

Satphire: I still hate you

Carla: Had a feeling, have a great day.

I said heading back to where Sarah was.

Sarah: Good your not a coward!

I swing on her first. I got a hit in but using both hands to hold the stick made my face fully open. She use her right hand. Swinging me right back to the forest, where Satphire was now collecting fruits.

Satphire: What is your problem?

Carla: Hmmm seems like I could take a hit, thanks Johny.

I got up again, ignoring her. Sarah punching me back into the forest happend several time. I stop counting after five times because now it became embarassing. My eyes were officially close tight.

I couldn't see a thing. I can't go anywhere. so I thought I'll just sleep here for tonight. Satphire was about to leave then she said something rather interesting.

Satphire: You are a thinker, you don't fight well with weaponry, fight back with your mind. You need to find your own way of fighting.

I couldn't see very well; but I feel there was a gust of win. So I know she flew away. I hope Sarah comes looking for me, cause I Can't see my way back.

##Johny##

Where is she, is night time?

I decided to go interupt her training; she should know her man is waiting for her. While going outside the castle I seen Sarah coming inside without No Carla

Johny: Where is Carla?

Sarah: In the forest!

Johny: Why would you leave her in the forest?

Sarah: What's the problem, our parents used to leave us in the forest by ourselves?

Johny: Yes, but we at least had control of our power she doesn't.

Sarah: She will learn!

Johny: Are you teaching her how you learned? I guarantee you she won't learn like you, She got her own way; as her trainer you should help her learn what that is.

She didn't say anything. Now she is making me wonder if this some cruel punishment, was she taking Carla out there and beating on her?

I flew to the forest scoping the area to see where Carla was. When I found her she was almost unrecognizable. Her face was completely swollen like someone Who Was horribly beaten senseless. She was surrounded by trees singing her lullabies. Sounds do keep predators out. As I approach her, they surrounded her in defense, they were protecting her without even being her companions? I introduced myself as her husband asking them to let me take her home.

Tree:

No, let us heal her She was beating brutally, let us heal her for tonight then come back tomorrow, she has some broken bones that needs immediate attention.

When they said that; it pinched my heart.

Johny: I never heard of trees being healler?

Tree:

our songs could minupulate emotions, and also heal almost instantly. We tried this morning to sing her out of the fight.

Johny: Yeah, she won't back down, she wants to handle her own if there is a fight.

Trees: I see, she Dont want to let you down my king

Johny: Am afraid so. Okay then I leave her in your care.

I gotta find her an new trainer, my sister was the best guardian in the kingdom, if anyone would know another trainer it would be Cleon!
