The seven

The hidden kingdom

Song : why - Sabrina carpenter

I woke on the cave floor. I was cold , Isa wasn't near me like before and the stone was hurting into my new body at odd angles , adding to my aches and pains. Fuck I was irate. Stupid prince telling us to sleep in a fucking cave. Why didn't he have some plan , he was supposed to be able to see into the future. What an idiot.

I surveyed my surroundings now. The light was shining through the hanging rock of the cave. I could see the forest through the winding cave passage and the sliver of it shone with bright green and yellows of the morning sun. It was a pretty sight.

When I turned to look at my friends I sat up and turned to look beyond the still burning fire. Oh god this was hilarious. I began snickering at the sight before me. I wished I had a camera right now.

There was the prince draped over a peacefully sleeping Isa. Their bodies entwined and their snores muddling together in the quiet cave. And the prince , using her wild hair as a pillow , had his head in the crook of her shoulder and his arm draped over her waist. Her head in turn lay wrapped beneath his king arms and in his chest.

I do admit I watched them a minute. The hopelessness in my gut replaced by the feelings of laughter I felt at watching their soft smiles that couldn't ever be shared between them if they were awake.

God this would be fucking hilarious.

How was I gonna manage to wake Defne.

DEFNE

I screamed into my mind and she sat up in an instant, before she could hiss at me I pushed a finger to my lips with a smile and pointed at the two sleeping in the corner.

She slapped a hand to her mouth in an effort to control her laughter and then began poking a sleeping Arrchana. Soon after Arrchana opened her eyes groggily , we were all laughing silently between ourselves.

Once we had all woken I pointed to myself and we all nodded.

"WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP" I screamed as though we were in danger.

The prince's head shot up first. And then there was Isa. They were sitting half up not responding to the fact that their limbs were entwined in a trap together. Once she realised what we were all laughing at she turned to the prince with a scowl.

"Princey , unless you want a punch in the mouth , get the fuck off me", the prince stood abd moved away into the back of the cave at that.

Meanwhile we were still in hysterics at our angry friend and the princes predicament. So fucking predictable.

"Sorry , can't a prince seek a little warmth", he said innocently with a smirk.

"Oh god let's just leave now please" said Isa turning red with fury.

We picked ourselves up and dusted off. Hopefully we would reach the end of our little journey soon. I craved a warm bed or for somewhere to sit with a cup of tea , if they even had tea here.

Once we had started to head into the forest a quiet peace settled over us. And all the funny situation seemed mostly forgotten.

The prince seemed to be rather quiet , almost embarrassed at the way we had woken him this morning. He wasn't blushing at all but his temperament seemed to quieten and he didn't walk close to Isa at all. He had seen her powers in work the night before when she had started the fire and I don't think he wanted his silken hair to get singed by Isa. What a scaredy cat. I mean , I get it , I wouldn't want to be on Isa's bad side either. But all in all , I think even Isa herself , was waiting to give in to his charm.
