The Adventures of Emma and Her Royal Name

Chapter One: She Wakes Up

It was a Sunday early morning, or maybe a Wednesday, she had no idea. She arose from what she thought was her bed, blankets, and pillows and in reaching for her glass of water she realized she wasn't there at all. She wiped her face, and attempted to stand, and all she could smell was the fresh scent of dirt, mud, and a cold sun. She immediately grew cold, and as she looked around all she could notice was that she wasn't home. Frogs raced back to their home from the vibrations of her waking and squirrels seemed irrated for they were rudely disturbed. The sun had a difficult time getting up and the moon seemed to overpower it and kept it down. The trees stood tall, protecting her in the little nest she fell so delicately in. "Where am I?", she whispered as the pounding of her head grew stronger and with staring down towards her feet, she noticed she was covered in dirt and leaves. She got up with difficulty and walked around where she had slept. Nothing seemed familiar and her heart started to beat faster. She didn't remember how she got there. She was scared and alone. The last thing she wanted to do was explore. But with hunger pains setting in and her mouth running dry, she felt like she had no other choice. She walked for what had seemed forever and then she had heard something she could never forget. A sound that had only seemed less than a mile off. What was that? she wondered and crept closer until she could make out a clear voice.
"Now, now, you don't think that could be possible. Why there is just no way! He couldn't have fun off this far in less than an hour, why that fat thing can't even walk straight, let alone run two miles into the dark forest." One proclaimed.
In response, the other one justified, "He was a strong one I tell you and he was mine. I have been searching the second he escaped, and if he isn't here, he was stolen".
"Stolen? Stolen? You don't honestly believe he could have been stolen, thats ridiculous, who wants anything to do with your good for nothing mongrat who can't even eat properly?" the other one protested.
"Fine, fine, now your just making fun, and I am not laughing. Lets go, we still have the whole east side to look for him." The first one grew sad in his voice.
"If we do not find him in the next 15 minutes, I give up and I am going home, I do not have time to waste on your silly adventures and I am getting hungry."
The conversation grew quiet as the two slipped farther and farther into the east side of the forest. She couldn't get a glimpse of who they were, but she knew they weren't human, no human had voices softer and more beautiful then these creatures.
