Rushing into the castle gates, I realized something. First, I'm going to die. Second, why are we going to the castle, we should be going somewhere else. The rebels will attack the castle. But the castle is guarded. Oh shut up self conscious.
" Your majesty. Get inside. You will live your life normally, like nothing happened." a young maid informed me.
" Thank you miss..." I paused looking for a name.
" Oh, it's Ana." she curtsied and almost ran back to the kitchens.

About a week after the flight back to the castle, there was another attack. It passed by with no harm done. Many things were broken, but no one was killed.
I'm starting to not believe Anjelica.
" Lily?" Lindsey asked as she rounded the hallway corner.
" I'm here."
" Can you help me pick out some clothes?"
" Sure I can. What for?" I asked with a smirk.
" Ummm...." she trailed off. "I might be going on a date tonight."
" Oh." I said and we walked to her guest room. It was pretty small, but she made the best of it. Everything was white and black. It was also open concept with a kitchen. I took one look at her bare closet and laughed.
" What?" She asked as she took out a one of two worn sundress.
" Girl! I'm a princess, well almost. Your not expecting me to let you go on your date in that? It's actually pretty but we could do better."
A wide grin slowly crept onto her face.
" Really?" She asked.
I nodded. We walked down to the woman's room.
" Hi mom." I told the queen. I started calling her mom when we got back from my house. She smiled sweetly and turned back to the maid that was handing her a cup of tea.
" Lily!" Alex called over to me.
" Hi!" I responded. She glared at Lindsey.
" Okaaay. Alex, do you want to come and give Lindsey a makeover?"
" Mmmm." She stuck her nose up in the air and sighed. She gave me a little puppy dog face. "Fine."

" You look perfect." I said fluffing her hair.
" Thanks. Even though I wouldn't know." I let her open her eyes and turned her to the mirror. Her sharp blue eyes widened as she took in her reflection.
" Wow. I might be rich, but not that rich! Not this rich." Her perfectly done nails shot up to her ears. "Are these real?!" She touched the diamonds lining her ear lobe and cartilage.
" Yup." I said popping the 'p'. She was wearing knee length simple lavender day dress. The dress was very plain and simple. It hugged all of her curves and almost gave her an hour glass affect.
" Wow. You look... Nice." Alex stated from the back of the room. Her rare words echoed through my bathroom.
" Hey look at that, Little Miss Mute is finally talking."
" Haha. Very funny Lily." She shot back. I stepped back. Maybe she was having a hard time adjusting to all of this. I know she misses her family. We got reports saying that they were all safe and unharmed but that's not the the only thing that keeping us on the edge of our seat. What if the rebels come back? What is that kill some? What if they take someone?
I couldn't take it. I wanted them gone. Banished to the Uncharted Land.

" Thank you again." Lindsey said as she ran off to her date. She was apparently dating one of the official's son.
A few hours after we sent her off she came back with a giddy look on her face and she just collapsed on the couch on my room.
" What happened?" I asked with a laugh.
" Things, and stuff..." She responded dreamily. Her hair was still pinned and her dress was perfectly pressed.
" Tell me now." I demanded.
" Ugh. Fine." She pouted. "He kissed me."
" What are you fourteen?" Alex asked.
" Fifteen."
" Oh,"
" He is amazing. Best kisser ever." She said as she fell back onto the couch-Again.
" Details." I almost asked. I positioned myself on my bed so I had my elbows on my knees and my head in my hands.
" There's not much. After food, he took me to see his room in the castle, to show me his amazing paintings, and then we just kissed."
I nodded in response. I heard Alex shuffle and sigh.
" You both have a guy who loves- Or at least likes you. I don't." She said with a sad smile.
" Yeah right. You used to have boys begging at your feet." I responded.
" Not anymore."
" What?" I asked.
" Nothing. It's nothing."
" Tell me."
" It's nothing! Boys just lost interest in me." I sighed and turned back to my book.
Hat Trick, that was my book. On the cover it was a mix of all sorts of things. A soccer ball almost bounced around on the still page and then in the very back you could see a magical hat. Paint splatters were also there. The corners were dog eared and even some of the pages had water damage.
As I read I let my imagination soar and I barely even noticed both of the girls leaving. When I looked up, I was alone.
I looked out to the gardens one last time before I locked my terrace door. I also went to go lock the main door, but something caught my attention. There was a gleam of light under my stool of my piano. We just put it in a few days ago. It was all black and the stool was made from leather.
Trying to lift it up, I found a gleaming button. Why would a button by under my stool, you ask. I don't know.
I didn't think anything of it and continued to my door. After I locked it, I felt safe. I had guards outside, and Christian right next door.
Omg. Okay I have some explaining to do. So I wasn't on Wattpad for about 3 weeks (give or take a few days)
So here's the deal. My parents are spilt. It's been that way ever since I was a baby so don't feel bad for me. I have a wonderful step mom and a great step dad. I'd rather have that then here fighting all the time. Don't comment some nonsense thing to cheer me up, because here the thing, I don't need cheering up. I'm a very outgoing person.
Okay, so my dad has me for the summer, he doesn't have wifi. My mom still won't get me a phone. Mom! I'm a teenager, I need a phone. So that's why I didn't update.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just want to say thank you. I came back and checked my Wattpad and I had over 300 notifications. That's a lot. I just want you to know that you all mean the world to me. I can't believe that my first book is already at 4k!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
