"Why did you use this?" I screamed at her. She stopped laughing and looked at me.

"Oh it's just a prank. I've been trying to wake you up for the past 5 minutes but you didn't wake up." She said. Did i mention that i'm a very heavy sleeper? Well i am.

I groaned loudly (and very un-lady like) and sat up.

"What do you want?" I asked her glaring at her.

"Go fix the water tube. Grizzly stepped on it and I'm too lazy to go." She said and ran downstairs. The water tube is the tube that connects from the river to our house, to give us water. I got up to change my clothes. Now you may think that since i'm in a forest, i don't know what style is. But my so-called parents have left me a huge collection of clothes that fit me perfectly well. So i picked up a simple black tank top, and white shorts and a long white cotton cardigan.

I walked down the stairs and peered from the kitchen door, i saw Ella making red velvet cupcakes with cream. I started drooling, these are my absolute favorite sweets. I started walking without making a single noise towards the counter. I stole one and ran away.

"Bring that cupcake back, Lisa!" Shouted Ella. I chuckled and kept running towards to the door. I quickly grabbed my shiny black flats and ran out again. I stopped running when i reached the river. I looked around for the tube, and when i saw it i went towards it. I sat down on the ground and looked to see what the problem was. Grizzly did damage it, he stepped on it so hard it stayed that way, it literally looked like a sad face.

For the past 10 minutes, i've been trying to fix this thing but i have no idea how to. I tried every possible way, but i can't. Rain started pouring and i started running towards the cherry blossom tree, the closest tree here.

Daniel's POV

"Will you listen to me?! I said, no matter what you say, you're marrying a woman out there, okay? I don't care if you don't like her, i don't care if you even hate each other! You're not taking over my company if you don't get married!" Shouted dad. I'm pretty sure my face is tomato red from anger. My dad is forcing me to marry a woman. Now that's no big deal, but, i'd like to spend my daily and work life with someone who i love.

All the woman out there would love to marry me because i'm "hot" or because of my money. I'd like someone who would love me for who i am, not that someone like that actually exists.

"Fine! Let's make a deal, you make me fight you, with magic. If i win, i get to take over the company married or not. If you win, you give me any woman. With the exception of not making me marry her unless me and mom approve of her. Deal?" I said calmly, and extended my hand so he can shake it. I could see the hesitation in his eyes, but he shook my hand nonetheless.

"We do this now." He said, taking his phone out. I stared curiously at whhat he was doing.

"Hello? Yes, hello Mr.Thomas? Can you come and fight my son? I'll give you details when you come.....Ok thank you." He ended the call. He looked at me with a smug face and walked away. I stared at the spot he was standing on. Thomas is the strongest magic fighter in this kingdom. Me being worried is an underestimation. Thomas once defeated a whole army of 4,600 soldiers with a click oh his tongue. Like literally, a click.

"Mom what should i do? Did you know he was going to call him?" I asked, looking at my mother. She was really pale, i could see her viens. I got worried and started shaking her.
