Jamie

Jamie yawned as he sat down in a beautifully carved chair, sitting up as straight as he could.

A few hours ago, it was a great celebration between the king and queen of the kingdom; the Queen was pregnant! News spread through the kingdom in a blink of a eye, it even appeared like the whole world new about it! Everyone was over-joyed... except for Jamie, that is. He despised both his stepmother and father, and now they were going to bring a child of their own into the world? The thought of a combination of the two into a child almost made Jamie sick.

As the young prince's father stood up to propose a toast, a servant burst through the kitchen doors. No, it wasn't just any servant, it was Jamie's personal servant, a good friend at that. Something seemed to alarm him. Before anyone could even open their mouth to say something, someone came up from behind the servant with a glowing orb of fire in the palm of their hand. Before the savotager could throw the scorching object, Victor stopped him from doing so, thus also sacrificing his hidden identity.

Jamie froze in his chair with big eyes, finding it hard to breath. Out of all people to be cursed with such a... a horrid thing, it had to be his one and only friend.

The blonde male pleaded to his father to release his imprisoned servant as the guards arrested Victor, but to no avail.

That is when Jamie took it apon himself to break Victor out of prison, stealing his favorite steed from the stables after retrieving Victor from the dungeon. He could hear his own heart pounding fast in his chest as the clinking of soldiers' armor hit the ground with every step. This resulted in Jamie grabbing the closest horse he could reach instead of giving Victor the time to choose his own. With that, they both rode off as fast as the two horses could carry them.

--Hours afterwards--

Jamie dismounted his hazel Italian Trotter, letting out a sigh of relief. Although he didn't say anything, his mind was filled with questions.

Will I be able to go back? Will I be killed, too? Where will we go?

As the prince took out a bag of oats to feed his tired pet, Victor approached Jamie's horse to grab a few things. The blonde heard a muttered "Thank you", and smirked slightly. He nodded in reply and continued to tend to his beloved horse.
