It had been almost three months now. A kidnappning to disrupt the entire kingdom and drive the royal family into despair. For three months, Blaine had been devising a plan to kidnap the only daughter of the kind and queen. His reason? Money never hurt anybody, the fame that would swarm around him after pulling off such a crime would make him infamous, and the princess didnt look half bad either. Blaine had looked at every possible angle, looked into the lifes of each and every guard, where they were supposed to be when on duty, when they were able to leave and how devoted they were to the royal family. But tonight was the night that Blaine would finally make his move.
Moving through the deserted streets he let his cloak cover most of his face, expect for his chin and mouth, and all of his body. The only thing that illuminated the night sky was the bright white moon that hung lazzily overhead the town. Making his way to the castle he pressed his back up against the wall and looked both ways making sure nobody was around. Pressing his foot against the lowest brick, he gave it a swift kick and it moved slightly. It was possibly the only cement brick that hadnt been secured snuggly against the others. Quickly falling to his knees he pressed the stone forward and crawled in after it. When he was inside the castle walls he turned around and placed the stone back where it had been before, making it seem like nothing had changed at all. Looking around he looked up at the giant castle that loomed overhead. "Now for the tricky part..." He whispered to himself as he slowly made his way forward. He had to avoid the guards and find the princess without anybody getting wind of him. He would surely be hung if he was found sneaking around inside the castle at night.
Blaine had only recently begun to think of kidnapping the princess. Up until now he had kept to stealing money and family heirlooms that held great worth. His crimes had become slightly famous and their was a price out on his head but so far he had never been caught. But those petty crimes had become boring to him and such is the reason for wanting to try a crime such as this. To test his own skill.
As he moved stealthily from bush to bush, tree to tree a strong smell of flowers caught his attention. No doubt the royal garden was nearby. Surely their would be a way in nearby the garden. Following the scent of the flowers he found his way to the rows upon rows of flowers. It was then that he set his eyes on the princess. Ducking down quickly he eyed her from afar. He was surprised to see her out especially this late, even if it was inside the castle. This was undoubtably the best chance to snatch her, before she entered the castle again. Looking around he picked up a small stone and tossed it towards the wall slightly out of the light and away from the door, closer to him. An easy distance for him to make his move.
