Royalty is but of the heart. Not by what you own.

Landon,
I smiled softly, "That's true." I said as we neared her campground. We came into view until I heard shouting. "It's Landon!" One of the guards called, until they saw Lydia as well. "And the thief!" Great, they called me by my real name. "Dammit," I muttered as they took off towards us.

[lauren.]

Lydia.
"Landon?"I asked but didn't have time to think about it. I grabbed Levi's hand and pulled him with me as we took off into the forest. Damn, why was I so stupid to have come back the next day? I could hear the guards steadily keeping up with us.

[haileyjordan]

Landon,
I ran behind Lydia, occasionally looking back to see them coming closer. "We need to get off path!" I called to Lydia. This wasn't going well.

[lauren.]

Lydia.
Getting off the path? "We might get lost,"I said panting, small pain coming from my leg. We needed to do what he said or it would end up worse. I let go of Levi's hand and to a quick cut heading off the path.

[haileyjordan]

Landon,
I ran after her, seeing the guards becoming farther and farther away. "We're losing them!" I called to her, though I had no idea where we were going. We just needed to get away.

[lauren.]

Lydia.
I huffed, not used to running this much. They were pretty good guards but once we were extremely far away from them, I stopped trying to catch my breathe as I leaned against a tree.

[haileyjordan]

Landon,
I rested my hands on my knees as I caught my breath. "Crap," I muttered. Now they knew we were out here, that wasn't good.

[lauren.]

Lydia.
"Why,"I huffed as I just took a seat,"Why is it that they always end up chasing when I'm with you,"I groaned as my head leaned back against the tree and my eyes closing.

[haileyjordan]

Landon,
"I guess I'm some sort of voodoo," I said, shaking my head. "That was too close." I added, looking at her.

[lauren.]

Lydia.
"Way too close,"I said wiping some sweat from my forehead. I looked around completely out of my element now. "We're lost,"I muttered.

[haileyjordan]

Landon,
I sighed, "We'll figure it out. It may take a while, but we'll be okay." I said, though I had no idea where we were either. My parents definitely weren't messing around.

[lauren.]

Lydia.
I sighed,"This sucks,"I groaned as I rubbed my face. "Why did they call you Landon?"I asked as it had just popped into my head.

[haileyjordan]

Landon,
I swallowed, "I think they got my name confused. I'm not really sure why they called me that." I said. "I don't know who said that was my name." I shrugged. I hated lying to her, but I had to.

[lauren.]

Lydia.
I narrowed my eyes slightly,"Suprised they even put a name with you and only called me thief,"I said rolling my eyes. I sighed as I stood up,"We need to figure out how to get back without going the way we came. They're probably still out on the path,"I said pulling my hair up into a bun.

[haileyjordan]

Landon,
"Well how far did we run off the path? It can't be took difficult to find another way back." I said. That was a close one; too close for comfort.
