The princes horse whined, as they went down the path deep in the forest, suddenly they heard a rustling behind some bushes, Prince Ethan jumped off his horse and prepared his sword and peeked from behind the bush to see a girl hanging upside down with blue hair and a bag of what seemed to be... churros?? He looked at her and when she noticed him she struggled more "um, would you like some help?" She glared at him "As if!" He shrugged "Ok fine, I'll leave you there to hang," her eyes widened, then she sighed "fine, may you please help me down from here?" She asked through gritted teeth "sure," he smiled and cut the rope "so, why do you need all those churros?" She glanced at him "Why would I tell you?" She shot "Good point, well, I'll be off and for future reference don't get stuck again it's not like another knight in shining armor will help you again," he smiled as he walked away, she rolled her eyes and started following him with her bag of churros "Where ya goin?" He glanced back "To save a princess from a tower blah blah blah," he looked down with an upset face "You don't seem very excited," she cracked a smile " Well it's something I'm forced to do, it's not my choice," the theif smirked "What would be your choice then, if you had to choose?" Ethan glanced at the girl wearily "Don't tell anyone, ok?" She nodded "k fine," he breathed out "I'm actually in love with someone else and I can never seem to tell my father because- because-" he was cut off by 3 men jumping out a bush "Give me all your valuables or ill start attacking with my crew!" The theif sighed "you get left I get right and we both go down the middle," they attacked the trio and by the end of it the men were tied up and beaten "May you finish you sentence now, I'm dying of suspense," She cracked a smile "Well, the one I fell in love with is-" he was once again cut off "We won't forget your twos faces, you hear!" One of the men shouted, the theif smacked his face "Quit interrupting him now," she scarily spoke, she turned towards the prince "hes uh a guy i met only once but..." silence ensued, the theif looked at him
"Well, if you want I can come with you on your journey," She smiled crookedly he looked at her in shock "But- aren't I like- I don't know- broken?" She looked at him "I guess I'm broken too then," she winked at him, he smiled giddily
The carriage continued on to the tower the theif and prince were hitting it off quite well "Wait- so you really just steal churros for your family???" He asked smiling "Yea cause they love them and they last long in the house, " she smiled "so, Marie, how'd you get into the theiving business anyways?" He asked "Well, actually it's a funny story,  I'm a kleptomaniac and it's just been ingrained in me since I was a kid,  it's not like my family is poor or anything, I'm just... ya know?" She said to him "it's alright,  stiff like that happens more than you think," he reassured her, there was a montage of different backgrounds, the tower was some time away but luckily the two were getting closer until they arrived to a weeping willow tree covering the cave entrance "Well, I guess we're here," the prince said "I'll go up first ethan," Marie said looking up the tower
