Escape From the Dream (Previously Titled Reality Vs. Fantasy)

The Tour

The castle was absolutely amazing and humungous. With the gigantic moat, the wide and long drawbridge, and not to mention the perfectly chiseled curvy  bricks.

Sir Muriel led me to the first fkoor again down an elevator that was really just a tall and spacious dumbwaiter for the staff. He informed me I would be allowed to go in the actual elevator for the roual family when I was going somewhere with the princess but alone, I had to use the staff one.

I didn't mind this but what he said next caught my attention,"Of course, Miss Alyson Hyperfrog, you probably won't make it to that point. I'm sure of that."

I froze for a moment, introspecting what he meant.  Had he had betokened I would be dead before my first babysitting job with royalty? Or that I would end up in the dungeon soon? I had to escape before that! I could and would not  be imprisoned in MY dream!

As if reading my mind, Muriel mended the tear in the conversation,"Now don't see that as a threat or death sentence. .. I can just see that you enjoy adventure. I figured you were just here because you thought it would be an adventure..., amd now you realize that mistake."

"I'm not sure yet axtually. And, how did you know my last name?  I never mentioned it did I?" I queried carefully. I did not sag my last name and I knew it! There's something not quite right about him... I just couldn't pinpoint it!

"Ahem.... y-you didn't? You m-must ha-have... for me t-to know i-it..." he stammered, a scared and secretive look upon his face.

Darn! We were on the main floor now! I'll never get it out of him now! What is his secret?! Ugh! And before I could stop him he was out of sight... away... out of the elevator. I was really quite scared.  What was my dream fate? I was so scared that I didn't realize that I had been asleep fpr mearly two entire days. The real question was how to wake up. If I would wake up.
