America one-shots

Of wings and crowns

" big brother!" They both said crashing into him.

" have you seen Alfred we heard freedom runner but we never found her!"

" oh so he didn't tell you as well" Ivan said quietly " he had to go with others to run some stuff around. " he said to them and they pout but went to there room anyway to go and sleep. Ivan walks past Alfreds room it was right next to his. He pushed Alfreds door open and looked around at the things Alfred owns. The thing that stands out the most was a dragon painting. It was a elegant black dragon with stars in it wings. Alfred painted it himself claiming it helped relax the soul. Ivan ran his hand over it then left. Taking a blank canvas and a few paint and brushes and enters his room. He puts the stuff down and goes to bed looking out of his window.

-Alfred-

Freedom walks at steady pace we where close to the spot they where Gonna rest but it gave him some red flags.

" heads up and keep moving " he whispered quietly his wings twitched as he watched for movement. He could faintly see a nod from the guard next to him. He noticed freedoms eat flicked towards something he couldn't hear. Freedom then nodded her head that was a silent thing he knew meant she heard humans sneaking up. " we're not alone get ready for commands " he pointed with a wing in the direction that freedom heard the noise. He signaled for them to go too a trot then to a gallop to canter. They ran fast but not as fast as the horses could go. Honestly Alfred didn't want to fight at the moment he was tried so he would be sluggish in fighting. He heard more then just there horses so he made freedom do a sharp turn to face them so she stopped it spooked her slightly. Guards of the kingdom they where at war with screech to a stop as Alfred points a sword at them. They of course couldn't see his face so they had no idea he was extremely close to the king.

" well look what he got here idiots!" One said laughing. None of them had helmets so he could see there faces. He felt his heart shattered his twin brother sat on a horse across from him. Matthew seemed bored and stressed or .... broken.

" shut up Stan " Matthew hissed " they will have a high up official with them if their in this big of a group. And he's the one who turned around and has is sword pointed at us fool" he hissed again looking at him. He had snowy owl wings on his back they where smaller then Alfreds eagle wings. Now their type of bird is really common among winged people.

" why are you here?!" One of Alfreds guards say hatefully. Matthew looked back at them

" we are taking prisoners and that will be you now I don't want to fight but I'm being forced so will you just come with us?" He sighs tiredly.Alfred lifted his helmet off of his head.

" sorry brother but I will have to decline that offer." Alfred said sadly forcing freedom to take a step back then a couple more as he watched them. Matthew seemed shocked and even more   Stressed then before. Freedom lifted her head more alert and ready to move. One of the people with Matthew smiled wickedly.

" we hit the jackpot " and with that he gets is weapons ready. Alfred puts his helmet back on. His guards looked at each other then at Alfred waiting for orders. Freedom nodded her head ready to move. Matthew shook his head as if cleaning way bad thoughts. Alfred flicks his wing in a certain direction giving a silent command to his guards. They tense and get ready. His wing dropped giving a command to run around them and hide in the woods. Matthew seemed to catch on to Alfred giving commands but didn't understand what Alfred was commanding. And with a title of his head the plan was in action. They dove at the enemy to catch them off guard which they did. They then dove into the woods. Their horses ran at full speed in hopes to catch and confuse the others they went in different directions some they reversed and followed others until only one path followed them all. Alfred stays quiet and eventual appear on the other side where a different trail was. Alfred looks back at the woods as the road down the trail to one of the cities that where loyal to Ivan. But Alfred was startled when he felt a metal like rope get tossed over his body and pulled his wings close to his back so he couldn't use them and his arm getting stuck to his side he was then yanked off of freedom runner. He took notice that his guards where in the same issue he was. He then looked at freedom runner.

" freedom! Go home! " he called he trained freedom to return home when given that command so that's what she did she reared up and then took off down the trail. Alfred then struggled with the chains as he was hosted up to his feet.

" well looks like we have the best prize" the enemy guard said as he then tied some chains around Alfreds feet so he couldn't run. He glanced around and noticed Matthew looked guilty as he did the same to one of Alfreds guards. The other horse and spooked and ran off. Alfred was then throw over the guy shoulder as he took Alfred and put him on the back of his horse. When they where ready they took off towards what could be Alfreds doom.

Meanwhile with freedom runner

The medicine cap mare ran on the trail sometimes a person would try and catch her pt she never let them as she ran. She had a job to do she had to save her human! The armor was making so much noise as she ran. She eventually sees home normally the princess where on her back when she was given this command but they weren't. She runs past the guard by the gate he had tried to grab her but she side stepped away she runs into the middle of town. People screamed and tried to catch her but she wouldn't let them. That when she spotted the princess and the human that was sometimes around. So she reared and change direction to go towards them. The princess looked startled and hid behind the human. She stopped in front of him. Alfred said his name before.... Ivan! She stood in front of Ivan. He looked startled but grabbed her rains to stop her from running off again. The princess looked up at freedom. She snorts as she tossed her head. The princess seemed to understand who the horse was but seemed unsure.

" who's horse is this " Ivan asked looking for someone running after their horse. The guard at the gate came running.

" sir! That horse came through the gate I tried to catch it but " he moved and hand and basically said he had no luck.ivan then becomes nervous as he took of the head gear of the horse that hide freedoms face. When it was off freedom tossed her head and tried pulling Ivan along to go back to Alfred. But he was frozen. The princess walked closer to freedom.

" Ivan get on freedom runner" Natalya said very seriously.

" why?" He asked still processing that freedom was here but Alfred wasn't.

" because Alfred told us if freedom came back with out him to get someone on her and that freedom would take them back to him or at least where he once was." She said with a node from her sister. He looks at some guards and motions for them to get ready to follow which they did they already where mounted on their horses. He nodded at his sisters putting the head of armor on freedom again. Then mounted the horses.

" okay freedom! Go back to Alfred!" Natalya yells and freedom reared almost making Ivan fall as she then spun and took off towards where she came. Ivan could only hold his breath.
