"Did he just say no." Celeste says.
"Shh.." I say.
He continues talking.
" I am sorry I just can't marry someone I don't love."
"Did he just say he didn't love her?" Celeste says.
Did he?
He speaks one last time.
"I will find the girl I love If it's the last thing I do, I already have guards on the look, so I won't stop, I will find you."
He then tugs his ear, the sign from only months ago. I was shocked, he was looking for me? I could make this easier and turn myself in, no I will make this fight hard.
I hear a pounding, on the door. I find the nearest room I can hide in.
"What are you doing?" I hear Celeste whisper yell.
"I am hiding I don't want to go back to the palace."
"Whatever you say."
I hide behind the shower curtain. I hear Celeste open the door, then I hear the familiar voice say.
"Hello, are you the only one who lives here?"
Aspen. It's Aspen who is searching for me.
"Yes." I hear Celeste say in a calm voice.
"Do you mind if I search your house?"
"Of course not." Celeste says
I hear the guards check the living room, then turn the corner and come to the bathroom.
Shoot.
Shoot.
Shoot.
I am screwed.
