Chapter 3

Ella sat down on the ground with a thud. She looked up at Reno.

“Come on,” she whispered as she quickly crept away. Reno was close behind her. They continued crawling until they were sure they were out of sight of the men, then they got to their feet and ran. When they were back up the river Ella turned to Reno.

“That bastard,” she swore. “He’s out fucking with his friends while I sit alone in the palace. And I thought I only had to worry about his old girl friends. He’s trying to fuck the whole kingdom!”

They plopped down in the grass.

“What are you going to do about it?” Reno asked.

“I’m not sure,” she said with a shake of her head. “But I’ll think of something. Oh, damn! This could ruin our whole adventure.”

“No, it won’t,” Reno said. “This has given you something to think about. You can start thinking about ways to get back at him.”
