The little princess 15
The walk was a long one, but it wasn't particularly hot that day, at least not Christopher. He couldn't say what it was like for Hannah. He'd never been in a pocket before, but it shouldn't be that uncomfortable. So, he put it out of his mind and continued the walk through the small village to the stables.
"You majesty!" a stable boy stuttered as Chris came closer.
"Please, no need for that. I'm just here for a horse."
"W-wouldn't you rather have a carriage?" the boy asked, his eyes wide as he looked up at the ruler of the country. He couldn't wait to tell his friends he got to talk with King Lebiant!
"No, just a horse is fine, thank you.
Father and daughter sat on the grass beside a lake eating a late lunch. Hannah was holding a piece of chicken in both hands, munching quietly, thinking. Her father was an intimidating man at a normal size, but when he got angry, he terrified her. True he gave her his word he wouldn't hurt her, and she trusted him. But, what if an accident occurred? Accidents happen, right? She glanced up at him as she finished her chicken and stood. "I think I'm gonna take a walk," she told the man.
Christopher had been in a similar world of his own, thinking of ways he could protect his daughter more when she spoke. "Do you think that's a good idea?" he ask

The marketplace was busy that morning, much to Christopher's chagrin. For her safety, Hannah resided in his pocket, her little head peeking out at the world. He could feel her move against his chest and he had to admit, it wasn't something he could get used to. "Oh, and there's the jewel trader. His family made most of the royal crowns, and someday he will make yours," he said into his pocket, making Hannah's face light up.
It really was another world to feel like she was floating in a cloud that was actually a person. She could feel every vibration of his steps, hear his breathing, even his heartbeat, though it was a little hard to hear ove
By the time Christopher had visited the kitchens-much to his staff's surprise-and went back to his room, he hoped Hannah was decent. But, it was safer to knock anyway.
For a moment everything was quiet, then he heard Dathea's voice telling him to come in. He was trying to balance the tray of food and open his door, but he did it and stepped in. "How did it go?" he asked, going to the desk.
"It went fine, your Majesty. I have made a dress for her Highness and have taken her measurements. I will make her as many dresses as needed, Your Majesty." The older woman bowed deeply. "Will that be all?" she asked.
"Umm...do you happen to have a spare

While Chris spoke to himself and puttered, Hannah was thinking. If she had three days to be ready, would that mean that she had three days to be turned into a princess? If so, that certainly wasn't going to happen! Sure she was raised right, but she'd been in a group home for the past three years, so almost all her etiquette went out the window. She would have to relearn all that....
But first, she needed a shower. How to tell Christopher that, though...
"Chris," she called, but apparently he didn't hear her because he kept mumbling to himself. So, taking a deep breath, she cleared her throat and yelled; "Chris!!!!"
At that the man stopped a

The budget meeting finally wrapped up and Christopher felt nothing but relief. Sure it was neccessary for his people to survive, but they were boring as all hells. He stifled a yawn as he stood, stretching a bit. His mind had been on Hannah most of the meeting, hoping she was still sleeping. And if she wasn't, he hoped she was safe.
He'd left her on the nightstand, which looking back, might have been a bad idea. But, she was smart, so he was sure she could take care of herself for a little while.
He went down the hall as quickly as he could, knowing the council did not like to be kept waiting, even for their ruler. He had to scoff at that.

He slept well that night, better than he'd had in a few nights. That morning he woke by himself feeling refreshed and calm. Slowly he got up and gave a groan as he stretched, not noticing Hannah was watching him. He shook his head a bit with a yawn and stood, shuffling over to his wardrobe, flinging it open.
Hannah hadn't slept well at all. All through the night she kept sitting up to make sure she hadn't been dreaming, and seeing the giant silhouette of her father lying on the bed next to her made reality hit every time. She was in a different realm, a realm of giants. Just the other day she had been parent-less, living in a foster home. A

Hannah had fallen asleep not too long after her emotional outburst, which left Christopher in a bit of a pinch. He held the small girl in his palms. She looked so small and helpless in her sleep. It made him want to tuck her away somewhere safe where nothing could hurt her ever.
But first he had to find a place for her to sleep. For the time being he supposed he could put her on the bed, but that would have to change later that night. It was too dangerous for her. So with gentle hands, he transferred the sleeping girl to his pillow and slowly got up as to no jostle her.
With quiet and quick steps he left the room, shutting the door behind hi

The Little Princess Chapter Seven
Her world came to a sudden stop and she was so glad. Even though she had felt the man's hand on her to keep her from being tossed around too much, she was still nauseous from the rapid up and down movements. But everything did seem quiet now. Gone were the voices and sounds of people moving around, replaced with the giant's heavy breathing. The fabric around her moved as he took a deep breath. What was he going to do now? He had her alone, and that was the scariest thought for her, because there was no one to hear them.
Suddenly the pocket shifted and light spilled over her for a brief moment before massive fingers came down at her. Hannah t
