''This way'' i follow Claire down a deserted hallway filled with paintings that are my family portraits, i keep pulling my collar up higher on my face feeling as if someone will be able to recognize me. ''shh'' she shoves me against the wall a hand over my mouth her body close to mine;we don't dare breath. ''mm mm''

i look over to the doorway and try to alert Claire because a  hand grasps the door frame that's only inches from my face!! we're gonna get caught no no no we musn't i can't bear it here any longer i must escape I squeeze  my eyes turning away from the door wondering when the person inside will come out and slap me realizing that I'm the princess who's trying to escape but no one comes instead I find myself being dragged by Claire.

I try to keep up but its awfully hard to in the clunky over sized shoes she gave me. ''Claire I believe there's a fire somewhere in the castle'' shoot Mrs. Cowell ''No madam'' i look down at my feet stupid old lady ''well then why are you running like a maniac down the palace corridors with..'' lifting my eyes she meets my gaze her lips pursed she doesn't look to happy to see me Evan though she dosen't realize I'm the princess of Bohemia.

''this is my cousin,Lauren''Claire squeezes my shoulder signaling for  me to bow, so i do which frankly feels so weird since usually I'm on the other side of it ''well Lauren here in the palace we do not RUN we walk like respectable young ladies that we are'' she crosses her arms in a mean demeanour her cold eyes looking right through me ''carry along Claire'' ''yes ma'am''

Claire manages then slowly pulls me along Evan though i just want to go back an punch Mrs. Cowell right in the face deep breaths calpurnia deep breaths all will be well shortly and you will be forever gone from this retched place  once we reach the garden right outside the front gates we walk slower not wanting to cause suspicion ''so far so good huh'' i nudge her but get nothing ''i really think i'll make it this time, don't you?'' i smile to see if she'll smile along but a blank stare is all i get. ''whats wrong claire?'' when will you come back?'' i choke for a second ''look we'll talk once we're outside just, here''

i hand her my badge and she clips off her and holds them bouncing them a little.nervously. ''hi john'' claire greets the youngest of the guards. eighteen if i was correct and a very handsome bachelor indeed. her voice is suddenly more chirpy as she nears him her face glowing and her smile radiant ''this is my cousin from Spain, Lauren'' i cant seem to look away from him so i stare at him stupidly so nervous and anxious to get through ''say hi lauren'

' she elbows me and moves me forward ''hello'' he gives me  a warmer smile than i would have expected ''where are you off to?'' he hands us back our badges ''well, you know the market'' ''whats in the basket?'' his voice suddenly more stern  i can't help but hop nervously from foot to foot ''oh you'' she slaps him playfully and surprisingly he laughs ''ha ha'' i force myself to laugh along with the two ''well we'll be back at about noon see you then''

and right before my eyes the shy little, closed- off claire i ''supposedly'' knew stands on her tiptoes grabbing his jacket she kisses him full on the lips That sneaky little- ''come along lauren'' leading me past him like a little child we wave bye then walk far enough so that he doesn't see us then rush around the bend and grab the huge bag that  i had thrown off of my balcony -with difficultly- over the hedge with a little help from my accomplice . That held my clothes and personal belonging that i would take with me in my new and fresh life. look out New York here i come.
