Run.

That's all I can think about right now, I have to get away from these guards. The princess left to find her dEsTiNy a few months ago and crime has spiked upwards. Without the princess to walk around taking pity on every poor person she could see most of us became hungry and some lost their jobs. 

I lost my parents at the age of five and went to an orphanage, but it was burned down when I was thirteen. Luckily, everyone got out okay but the whole place was nothing more than a pile of smoldering ashes when the royal guards finally got there. 

Most of the older kids started work to support the younger ones, including me, I would give a lot of my wages to the others so they could live better 

But when the princess left I was fired from my job as a book shop worker and had to resort to begging people on the streets for money. When that didn't work I sunk into the inescapable hole of crime, nothing to big, just steeling the odd bit of food and a few other things e.g. some nice necklaces to sell to a second hand shop.

You didn't have a home, well unless you count the forest. Every night you would climb a tree and sleep up there. 

But more pitying me later I'm trying to run from guards. if I get caught I'll be put in jail for sure! Oh no!' being very nimble and fast I am quite good at sneaking away quietly from a crime scene or losing a few guards. 

Today though, there seemed to be a lot more guards than usual. I'll get caught! Oh no! And I just know I won't get a trial! The King seems to think it's fun to put desperate and ,      scared children in jail or send them to the next worst thing to a therapist, two random guys who don't have a clue with what their doing. 

I ran towards the forest, so I would have more of an advantage as I knew it better than they did, when suddenly I crashed into someone and fell straight on my back.   

"Hey Pete! Guys! Is this the girl?" I looked up and saw saw a buff looking guy with a cool 'stache looming over me.

"yeah! It is! Good job Stan!"

"thanks Pete, just doing my best" 

"ummm......am I going to get arrested? Or no? Coz I'm okay not being arrested-" the guard with the moustache lifted you up and a pale, thin one put some hand cuffs on you.

"sorry little lady, it's actually not that bad in jail" said 'Stan' trying to cheer you up. Clearly the other guard hadn't grasped what was going on.

"No, it's very gloomy and kinda smelly down there. Not to mention the rats, the food, the inmates-" 

"Pete! I'm trying to make her feel better! That won't help!"

"well I can't take it back now!" we started walking towards the prison carriage and I just zoned them out and tried to think up ways to escape. And eventually just gave up, 

"heyyyyy, guys. Since we'll be very close these next couple of years maybe I could have your names?" the guards look at each other and looked back at you

"okay then! I'm Stan!" 

"okay Stan, nice stache"

"And I'm Pete!"

"heyyy, Pete. Wow your so tall, cool!" okay so maybe you were trying to get the guards to trust you so you could sneak out more easily but that was beside the point, what you were saying was true. 

"Well little lady, sorry, but in you go" said Pete

"We'll sneak some cinnamon onto your gruel" Stan whispered and you smiled at him through the wooden bars of the prison cart.

"Stan! We can't do that! That's against protocol!"

"But she's so nice!" argued Stan .A.K.A. your favourite guard in the whole wide world.

"She's a criminal! We can't go round playing favourites, it's unprofessional!" 

"She's just a kid! She shouldn't need to be a criminal!"

"Well she still is and we can't be unprofessional or we'll get fired!" I zoned out for the rest of the argument as the prison cart started moving towards the palace. 

☽------------- ｡*☆ ｡*---------------☾

"get in there, criminal" it was a different guard this time that shoved me roughly into a cell

"hope you don't mind having a roomie, you'll be in there with him for the next five years" five? That seems a bit extreme for being caught stealing a loaf of bread........but then again, it's not like people write this stuff. The mean guard (whose name was now Mr. Meanie) locked the door and walked away. 

"geez, rude much" despite being in jail I was strangely calm, I felt someone's eyes on me and I turned around to see who it was. 

A boy.

He looked around my age and had the most beautiful, sparkling, blue eyes. They looked like they had once held a spark of joy, that was now extinguished. He had a raccoon on his lap and seemed to be staring at you.

...

Why's he doing that?

~Varian's POV~

I was just calmly sitting on my bed, minding my own business, Ruddiger was on my lap chattering away when he suddenly went silent. I looked up from the ground, and saw the most beautiful girl possibly ever. Her gorgeous h/l h/c hair looked so soft, she sounded like an angel when she spoke. Why on earth is this angel in jail?

The angelic female turned around and seemed to spot me for the first time, we stayed like that for a few seconds until the girl broke the silence

"paint a portrait it'll last longer" she moved over to the wall opposite my bed, leaning against it. I masked my awe at her undeniable beauty with a scowl. 

"shut up" I laid on the bed. 

"whatever you say, your the boss. Oh wait hang on, no, no you're not the boss" I rolled my eyes and stared at the ceiling, after a moments silence the girl spoke up

"so, what's your name?"  

"Varian" 

"wait a second, THE Varian?! As in the Varian that took on the whole of Corona single-handedly at fourteen?! That Varian?" I was slightly shocked that her tone was excited, why would she be excited? I hurt people! I don't deserve anything less than jail and gruel three meals a day! Actually that was a bit over the top, I miss ham sandwiches.....

"why are you excited? I hurt people" 

"maybe you did but that doesn't mean what you did was unprovoked, yes it was wrong but you had reason behind what you were doing. And who is an amazing alchemist? You! If anyone shouldn't be in this heck hole it's you!" That was definitely shocking, did she really think that? After all I did? I was taken out of my thoughts with the girl waving her hand in front of my face

"hellooo! Anyone home? You look like a horse just slapped you with a fish" I chuckled, 

"well that's not strangely specific"

"I have a very weird experience with horses and fish, don't judge" she smiled, the most perfect smile I have ever seen! She's just so beautiful...

"one time I came across a horse and a fish talking at a bar about the best way to overthrow the human race, then they spotted me and the horse slapped me with the fish. Weirdest dream I ever had..." I snorted, then remembered I don't know her name

"so..... what's your name?" she looked at me smiling warmly (no way this girl wasn't an angel) her e/c eyes shining brightly with kindness 

"Y/n,  Y/n L/n" 

"So what are you in for?" 

"well okay Mr. Interrogator, if you must know I stole some bread" 

"really?"

"well, as far as the guards know" she winked at me and I could feel my cheeks getting a little hot. She laughed, this is gonna sound cheesy but here laugh sounded like bells ringing. We talked a few more hours before one of the guards yelled,

"LIGHTS OUT!" 

"shut up asshole!" I yelled back at him, the guard just rolled his eyes. And went past our cell, Y/n walked up to the bars to wave at the guard as he passed.

"bye grumpy guts! Enjoy not having a wallet!"  she said dangling the wallet through the bars, the guard felt his pocket and turned to back around to look at Y/n. 

"aright little lady, give me my wallet back right now or I might accidentally mention about getting you two separated to the Captain"

"And I might accidentally mention to him when he patrols the dungeon that you seem to have a few drawings of his daughter in this wallet...." The guard turned red and, through gritted teeth, mumbled

"fine.... just give it back and we can forget about this..." 

~Reader's POV~

I handed back the wallet and went to sit on the bed, Varian was chortling at the scene he had just witnessed. Suddenly, a deep voice called out from the opposite cell

"hey kids!" we both turned to the cell across from us, seeing a tall man with soft looking brown hair smirking at us. 

"can I help you?" I asked with a raised brow

"what if I told you I could help you get revenge on the princess?" 

"me personally, I think you're crazy. How would we escape? How could we trust you? What the hell do you want with a teenage girl? Why are you talking to me? Who the frick are you? etc etc" This guy just chuckled slightly darkly I looked at Varian, he looked like he was seriously considering this (despite literally everything that could go wrong) 

"Well first of all you two could cause a distraction for just long enough so i can pick the lock and knock the guards out, second of all you'll just have to trust me, third of all teenage girls are very creative you could probably think up the best distraction, and as for who I am I'm Andrew" was he really using a stereotype for his plans? 

"how would we get revenge?" a small voice spoke, I turned my head to look at Varian my mouth opened from shock, did he really think this weird guy would be able to help him? I mean look at him! His face practically screams 'I've-got-an-evil-plan-and-you-two-will-help-or-you'll-be-sorry'! 

aNdReW's smirk grew even wider,

"well I was thinking we could erase the kingdom's memories with a potion that you could make"

"where would I get the resources for that?" 

"when my friends from Saporia get here, I'm sure we could find the resources" okay that smirk is making me sIcK- 

"so, are you in?" Varian looked down for a moment, seeming to consider whether it was worth it or not. Apparently he came to a conclusion, he looked back at aNdReW and said

"okay... but only if I can work with Y/n" wow.... twist am I right? My life would make a great story...too bad no one will ever write it-

"deal" wow, okay, guess their just gonna exclude me from this conversation.

"if you want to work with me Varian ask ME! Not some weirdo we met five seconds ago!" Varian looked at me and aNdReW laughed

"looks like somebodies a little cranky!" his voice was oddly soothing even when he was dragging me into his 'downfall of Corona plans' 

"I have a bloody well right to be cranky! You aNdReW are talking about giving me away to Varian after knowing you for barely five seconds! And Varian! Dude! What the hell?"  aNdReW merely smirked that sickeningly perfect smirk, 

"oh we could definitely use a feisty kitten like you on Saporia's side" 

"'feisty kitten'? Oh I'll show you feisty pretty boy!" I lunged for the cell door, suddenly a pair of surprisingly strong arms hold me back. 

"okay, you're scary, we get it." you looked behind you and saw Varian, he had a look on his face that screamed: 'just-relax-and-hear-us-out'. Mumbling angrily, I sat back down 

"listen, Y/n, I just want to fix what I did, and it's just memory no one gets hurt or anything." he looked at me with pleading eyes, I sighed

"okay," I turned to aNdReW,

"but you double cross us and I will not hesitate to come at you with a club"  I stared threateningly at him and saw a glimmer of surprise flashed in his grey eyes before they returned to the gross smugness that I have grown to hate in the past four minutes and sixty six seconds. 

"well then, let's get down to business"  yeah he's totally bad news.

A/n
