His Heart Of Platinum

Part 1: Bored

          Far into the Hollow Woods, farther than the rest, lies a castle. The castle looked beaten down and abandoned, which only added to the reasons why people thought it was haunted, it was. The castle was filled with the many ancestors of a young prince and his brother, Jason. No one dares to go too far into the woods anyway, it was too risky. Just entering the place would give you chills.

                         Alfred's POV
                 
          Once again, my brother lectures me about the responsibility of being royalty here. Ancestors blah blah blah..."Why can't you be the one next in line? I didn't ask to be the chosen one, so why force this upon me?! I don't want to-" Jason put his hand on my face and frowned. "You were chosen so deal with it." He said with gritted teeth. I nodded as he moved his hand. He doesn't tolerate my rants, he believes what he believes, and nothing can change that.
         Originally Jason wanted to be the chosen one, this whole system is a mess....As he finished his lecture I quickly grabbed my hoodie and left the castle, and into the village I went. The villagers won't recognize me, besides I can't show my face to them until I am king. Another dumb tradition around here..I head to my favorite bakery and rest there, the baker is very find of me. I've always loved his stories, they were so extreme, almost believable.
               This is killing me...This kingdom. It's the same old schedule, and the same old dark and spooky aura.... It's just sickening. I want to get out of this place, one day. Leave all of this responsibility behind...Before I close my eyes to meditate I hear a loud THUMP. My eyes shoot open as I see a figure in a red hoodie running out the front door with a loaf of bread. The baker looked crossed as he swung at him, missing. "Theif!!!" The baker yelled.
           I got out of my seat, I have nothing better to do so I chased after them. They kept running, almost out of sight. But...They were running out of the kingdom?! My heart raced. This could be my only chance out of here. But before I could catch up I tripped over a tree stump and landed face first in the dirt. A mouthful of dirt, just what I needed. I spit and cough up the dirt. He's getting away...Great...I got up to dust myself off. Next time...If there is one.
