"Aph, what did you do?" The Prince said.
"Ha ha ha ha...I don't know anymore what I did," I said as I laughed a bit.
"What am I going to do with you?"
"Nothing, but you could let me go home?"
"You are home."
"Oh, how."
"Um...your BOYFRIEND found you knocked out in the forest."
"Ok. FOR THE LAST FREAKING TIME HE IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND!!!"
"Sure, he isn't."
"I hate chu!!!"I said as my head started to hurt after I had said that. I don't know why. Maybe I'm getting a headache. I put my hand on my head as I feel a little bit dizzy.
"You ok, Aph?"
"Yea, I just have a headache."
"Oh, do you want me to leave?"
"NO, I mean if you aren't too busy with your papers."
"Ok, I'll go and then come back with some papers. I will be working here if that's ok with you?"
"O-Ok. I don't mind at all."
The prince left to get his papers and then came back. He sat at my desk. I realized I forgot to move my diary. I was asleep when he came back.
~In Dream?~
I was running around the castle of my old home. Was I shorter than I am now? My brother, Cam, was smiling at me and running. I was, too. We were probably playing tag and I was it. My mother and father were laughing at us because we were normally fighting. You know how siblings are. I wasn't wearing a puffy dress. I was wearing some sort of guard outfit. I could exactly run in.
"CAAAAAAMMM, SLOW DOWN!!" I yelled at him in a cute voice.
"NOOO!! YOU JUST WANT ME TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE YOU WANT TO TAG ME!!" He yelled.
"NO!! I'M JUST TIRED!!" I yelled.
"OK!!"He yelled as he slowed down.
I was still running towards him. I tagged him and ran away. I was giggling because I tricked him. I looked back and saw that he was chasing me. I ran faster than I've had to.
"APH, YOU TRICKED ME!!!" He yelled.
"YEP!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU ACTUALLY TRUSTED ME!!!" I yelled back.
"I WASN'T GOING TO!!" He yelled back.
There was a time change. I was about the age that I am. Klaus, Silva, Cam, and I were fighting because of a forced marriage from Broken Shields. Even though, I'm the youngest. My mother and father were worried that I wasn't going to find someone. Later on, I was getting packed and ran away. Cam saw me leave the castle. He mouthed go. far away. I will be looking for you after this is all gone. I mouthed back thank you, brother. I'll miss you, mother, father, and Sophie. Ok.
I was still running. I took a break and started to cry. I fell asleep and then I woke in a place. That place looked familiar. It was the hospital or the healing hut.
~Out of Dream~
I started to wake up and guess who I saw when I woke up. I saw the prince, still working on his paperwork. I remembered that I forgot to move my diary. I really was hoping that he didn't notice it and read it.
I got up and I was feeling a little better. I got up from my bed and walked to the prince. I never did ask him his real name.
"Hey, Prince?" I asked quietly so I wouldn't scare him.
"Huh? Oh. You're awake. Yes?" He said.
"Yea. I was wondering. What's your real name? I mean if you don't mind me asking that is!!"
"My name is Xzan. Xzan Ramsey."
"Oh, cool. I was supo-" I said as I cut myself off before I finished.
"You -was supposed to what?" Xzan asked.
"Ha ha ha..... nothing. Earlier today, you wanted to ask me something. What is it?"
"Oh? I kinda for- WAIT!! I remember I was going to ask you if you wanted to be my date for a ball that my parents are having and is forcing me to go to."
"Of course but will I have to wear a fancy dress?"
"I don't know. I'll have to ask my parents because they know that I was going to ask you. I don't know how."
"Ok. When? What time do I need to be..."
"Saturday. At noon. At the plaza. I will come and pick you up here."
"Ok. If I do need to wear a fancy dress, well it won't really be a fancy dress, I'll ask the tailor."
"Ok. I better get going back to the castle. Bye, Aph." He said as he got up and left.
"Ok. Bye, Xzan." I said as I sat down and started to write in my journal.
Dear diary,
Today was eventful. I was resting because I had a headache and I'm now a meif'wa. I know, the Prince's real name. It's funny. The guy that I was supposed to marry was named Xzan. It can't be the guy. If it is then wow. I'm wondering if he knows that I'm the princess of Waterview. It'll be awkward now between him and me now since you know.
~Aph
I closed my journal, I went to my deck to get some fresh air. I started to hum a song.
"My past has tasted bitter, For years now, So I wield an iron fist, Grace is just weakness, Or so I've been told, I've been cold, I've been merciless, But the blood on my hands scares me to death, Maybe I'm waking up today." I was too into humming that I didn't realize that someone was listening to me from the ground. They were also humming. I guess that they like the song, too.
They had stopped humming and listening to my humming.
That voice. Is it Tyler?
I continued to hum. I was about finished when they spoke.
"Hey, Aph?" He said
"Yea?" I replied.
"I was wondering if you would like to eat dinner with me?" He asked
"It depends on when it is? I can't do Saturday, I have something that I need to do."
"Ok. It'll be Sunday unless you have patrol."
"Ok. I don't think that I have patrol on Sunday. I'll look at what I have for Sunday night."
"Ok. Well, I'll let you go to bed. Night, Aph." Tyler said as he left.
I went back inside to look at the schedule for the patrols. I don't have anything on the schedule. I thought I did. Apparently, I didn't. I sat down and started to write the schedule.
Its been a few hours since I started. I looked up and saw that the sun was coming.
"Oh. I stayed up all night working on the schedule." I said as I rubbed my eyes and stretched.
I got up, changed into my everyday outfit, and cooked breakfast. I headed out after I finished eating and washed the dishes. I head to the tailors to ask them if they could make me a dress.
I was about to the tailors when someone stopped me.
"Are you Aphmeow?" ??? said.
"No, I'm Aph. Just Aph. Why do you want to know, Miss?" I asked.
"Because I miss her. She was supposed to come to see me when she ran away. Miss Ri." She said as she started to walk.
"Ri? I know that name." I said.
"You do? How? Did Aphmeow tell you?"
"No. I have an aunt with that name. I told her everything that was going on with the castle."
"I'm her aunt and she tells me everything. Are you sure that you aren't her?"
"I don't know anymore. Can you prove that your Aunt Ri?"
"Sure. She told me that she didn't want to marry Prince Xzan because she didn't know him very well."
"That what I told my aunt."
"Maybe you are her."
"Yea. Possibly. I need to get going. Bye, Miss Ri." I said as I started to walk towards the tailors.
"Ok. Bye." Ri said as she went to where ever she came from.
I got to the tailors.
"Hey ladies," I said as I walked in.
"Hey, Aph. What brings you here?" Gemma said
"Oh. Someone asked me to the ball. I was wondering if you could possibly make me a dress?"
"SOMEONE ASKED YOU OF ALL PEOPLE TO THE BALL?!?!?!? OF COURSE!!! Do you have an idea of what it looks like?"
"First of all, rude. Second of all, no. I was hoping that you kinda knew what it should look like."
"Oh, my Silvea. Aph, what color it should be? The length? Strapless? Straps? One strap? Two straps?"
"I was also hoping that you would know that also..."
"Serious Aph?"
"Maybe? I could try on dresses to see which one, style, color, length would look good on me?"
"There are sometimes I hate you and others times I don't. Sure. Wait here, let me get all the styles, color, and length dresses." Gemma said as she went and grabbed every single dress she made.
I waited.
A while later. Gemma came back with thousands of dresses.
"Go to the dressing rooms," Gemma said.
"Ok." I said as went to the dressing rooms.
"Here. It's the first dress. Go and try it on." She said as she handed it to Aph and put the other dresses down.
"Ok," I said as I went into the dressing room and changed into the dress.
I got done changing into the first dress, came out.
"How does it look?" I asked.
"Eh. The color and the length is great. Not the style." Gemma said.
"Ok. The next dress." I said as I grabbed the next dress and went back to the changing room. I got changed.
I went out and asked, "This one?"
"I don't like it, I don't hate it, I LOVE IT!!" Gemma said.
"Ok. So, this is the dress." I said as I went back into the changing room, changed back into my everyday outfit, and came out with the dress.
"How much do I owe you? Also, can I leave this so if anyone happens to come or bumps me, nothing will happen to it?" I asked as I got into my pocket to get some coins.
"It's on the house or thinks of it as a favor. If I need anything. Sure."
"Thanks. Ok. Of course, you'll think of a favor right as I'm about to walk out."
"Yep. Bye, Aph." Gemma said as she waved me bye.
"Bye, ladies. Thanks again." I said as I walked out and waved them bye.
I went back to my room in the guards' towers because I don't feel like having a house.
I was at home when Xzan came up to me. I'm glad that I left my dress at tailors.
"Aph, there you are. I've been looking for you," Xzan said.
"Yea? Why have you been looking for me? I told you that I was going to be at the tailor's." I said.
"Because there's someone's looking for you and came to me."
"What does the person look like?" I asked.
"He's tall, blue eyes, brown hair."
"Crap," I said, "where is he?"
"He's at the cafe. Why did you say crap?"
"Ok. Reasons that you don't need to know." I said as I ran to the cafe.
I got to the cafe. I went inside and I saw someone that I kinda didn't want to see.
