Shadow in the Night

Taren sighed as he lay in bed. It had already been three days since he took off out of the castle to go with his brother. He had gotten one hellish punishment he got laid over his fathers lap and spanked 10 times he couldn't sit down after it. It was mean and made him cry so what if he was already 60 (That's 15 in earth years) it was not like he could take something like that his dad was strong he might have even bruised from it. After that he was told he was grounded to his room for two weeks with a guard in his room at all times. Taren hated this more then anything he had no alone time and he was not aloud to see his big brother Alexander since as his mother had said "He is a bad influence teaching you to run away and sneak around behind our backs." Taren didn't care what he was other then fun like really what harm could come to him this was the safest planet ever.

Taren was startled out of his thinking when his bedroom door was opened. It was not time to get a new guard. His guard looked out of the room then back at Taren before he stepped out of the room but he left the door opened. This is perfect Taren thought as he looked to the door and saw the guard flirting with a maid his back to the bedroom door. No one was paying attention to the room to make sure that Taren was being good. These was the best thing ever it was perfect, now to get out of this hell hole and go have some fun and it would be all the guards fault for not paying attention. Taren got to his window and opened it carful not to make a sound then he climbed out the window and too off to the castle walls. Once there he jumped and flew over the wall. This was hard since he was not a good flyer his wings never fully grew so only once in a while would his wings work well enough to fly a little bit. Once on the ground on the other side of the wall he ran away from the castle to go have some fun.
