"You did what?!" Alya said angrily.
"Iz… why did you do that?" Nick said sadly.
"Leave it now" I said stressed, "I'm in bigger troubles right now!"
"So, what did the prince say to you? (Don't think you won't have to explain it later!!)" Alya said.
.
.
.
What is the prince doing here?! There's no way he heard what we talked about... More importantly, he won't recognize... right?
"What happened little squirrel? You swallowed your tongue? You better won't run away again. " Chris said looking at me with his evil eyes.
He recognizes me! "I am just shocked... why would His Highness go out to the streets dressed in the clothes of a commoner" I said.
"To be real I was interested in the lives of the commoners" said Chris, "and I happened to hear some ants gossiping."
Fough he totally heard!! "Hooo" I said as I lowered my head down, I'm completely dead now... at least It's me this time...
"Little squirrel... you have two options. one, you will end up in the royal prison and you will probably be executed for stealing from the royal family." Chris said with an evil smile on his face, I'm so done now, "Two, you will become my spy".
"what?!" I said confused, what? what? what? Spy, what the hell?!
"What do you choose?" Chris said with a sweet smile on his face.
...no matter what I will choose I'm screwed...

"What did you answer" asked Nick.
"I asked him for time to think about it" I said "And he agreed, he said I have until tomorrow"
"Your only option is to run away," Alya said.
Trust me, I've thought about it...
...
"Ho, and don't think about running away" said Chris with a smile, "I'll find you no matter where you go."
...
This smile makes me sick, "That's not an option..." I said to Alya in desperation.
"Ahhhh" Alya sighed "we'll go see him tomorrow together, for tonight you should stay here"
"You don't have to do it for m—"
"I told Anna that I would take care of you and that's what I intend to do" Alya interrupted me.
"... Okay" I answered, thank you Alya...
"But who the hell told you about the hole in the wall?" Alya asked me.
"Oh" I said in fear "it... it was Rick"
"Ri-" Aliya said and fell silent.
"Oh no" said Nick.
"Rick?! He disappeared two years ago" Aliya said angrily and grabbed my shoulders "When the hell did you get to talk to him?!"
"wait!" I said scared "he came back a week ago... he told me he already talked to you"
"That piece of shi..." Alya said angrily "never mind I'll talk to him later, let's first finish with the mess you made earlier tomorrow"
Nick and I looked at each other and had the same thought "Rick needs to be warned, or he won't see the light of day again...".
...
"Tonight is a little colder than usual" Rick said to himself and looked at the sky "I have a feeling I won't survive another day..." A tear fell from his eye "It was a beautiful life".
