Medieval Madness

Chapter 1

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Author's Note:
Hey guys I need to put in a key before we start with the story and it's crucial that you read it, so you know what's happening in the story, so here we go.
Key:
- Italics are thoughts
- Parenthesis are when I'm talking to you
- ~ = author's note

I might add some more, but it would be at the beginning of other chapters, so please make sure to read the authors note if there is one just in case.

Ok now on to the story....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  River P.O.V

As I was running down the halls of the castle I could hear my little brothers yelling at me to slow down, so naturally, I decide to speed up.

"River! Slow down!" yelled my little brother Cal

"Yeah, you're too far ahead!" complained the youngest of us three, Lucas.

"You guys just need to hurry the hell up!" I yelled back.

My name is River, River Batinick. I'm one of the children of King Leo and Queen Luna Batinick, rulers of the Kingdom of Crall. As I said, I am a princess, their only princess, if I might add. I am also the eldest of my siblings. My sibling's names are Cal and Lucas. Cal and I are the same age, but I was born three days before him. 'How is this possible?' you ask. Well, it's because I'm adopted. My brothers Lucas and Cal aren't adopted, but I am.

I was born into a poor family of elves. My family had no money to afford me, so after I was born, they decided to sneak into the castle grounds at night and put me on the doorstep of the castle. Now, I'm the only princess to the family of Batinick and I am also the only elf to be royalty in a human royal family. I am very thankful to be in a family that loves and cares for me but sometimes I wonder what would've become of me if my family didn't give me up.

Cal and I are the same age, but since I'm older I am up to rule, but I don't know if I necessarily want to rule someday. Crazy, right? We are both 17. My coronation is only about 5 months away and I still haven't decided if I want to be queen.

Lucas is the youngest, he's 16 years old and his birthday is in August, so he'll be turning 17 in a month.

Right now, my brothers and I have been summoned to go talk to mother and father for some reason, but we may never know because my brothers are being slowpokes. Once I had enough of their whining and them being slower than molasses, I stopped to turn around and yell at them, but that was a bad idea, because once I stopped I felt something crash into me, pushing me onto the ground.

"SHIT!" I exclaimed, looking up to see who it was, "Astro!"

Sorry for such a short chapter. I promise next chapter will be longer, but right now I wanted to stop it at a cliff hanger, so that you'd be confused. Again, I'm sorry, because I know how irritating a short chapter is and also how even more irritating a cliffhanger is, but I promise I'll start working on the next chapter right away, so stay tuned my lovelies.
