Princess may Singer-Schreave. (On hold)

The Halloween Ball part two

May's POV

 "REBELS!!!" A guard yelled. I grabbed Johns hand and we snaked through the crowd of people trying to get out. I looked behind me and made sure John was still there. He sped up and I knew he was telling the truth about the athlete thing. We ran straight to a wall and I moved the vase on the table to the right slightly and the door opened. I grabbed the vase and we went inside. I shut the door tightly and it locked. I took the vest and jacket off and laid them on the ground. I took my shiny shoes off and tossed them aside with the beard and wig. I took my hair down from the wig cap and un braided my long hair. I brushed my fingers through my hair and looked around the small safe room. It was one of the better ones so we had supplies to last for a while but not as long as the royal safe room. 

  I looked around and saw the few blankets on a shelf near the back wall. It was a little cold so I got us blankets. "Do you want to lay down or sit on the bench?" I asked John as I got the blankets. It keeps getting colder and I remember why my maids had dressed me with thick fabrics and long sleeves. I grabbed the four blankets and gave two to John. I layed one of my blankets on the floor and layed down on top of it. I put the other blanket on top of me and looked at John. "Are you going to just stand there or are you going to sit or lay down?" I asked. A minuet later he was laying down next to me. We were now both laying on our backs looking at the celling.

          "So what is your family like? I know how they are on the report, but they must have a different side right? Like family game nights or making fun of each other?" No one had asked me that before. "Well my mom is always down in the kitchens with the cooks baking or cooking and helping out whenever she can. My dad is always laughing and trying to spend time with us but he can't sometimes like on birthdays because of important meetings." I quickly wiped the tear that rolled down my face. Dad missed my last 6 birthdays. "Kenna is so fun and caring. She comes here with Astra a few times a month and shows us how Astra is walking and starting to talk. Kota is really artistic. He sells paintings for hundreds of dollars. I think he should just give them away because we already have ton's of money. Gerad well, let's just say he is the perfect little brother. He is always running around and wrinkiling up his suits and plays with soccer balls alot. We have to fix at least one window a week!" I said laughing at the last part. 

   "But Ames, she is amazing. I love her so much. We always have sleepovers with each other and we are always together. SHe is my best friend and she is my favorite person in the universe. I hope she isn't made to marry a stuck up prince or something. She is goofy, but elegant. She should be the next queen in my opinion. She is such a great public speaker. And she is so out going, and people love her so much. They love her so much and I am just the next one in line. Just the future queen. Not the adored future queen. Not the princess that married down for love. She is perfect in her own way. In the best way." I ended it with a little sadness that I am the future queen but everyone loves my sisters so much more. "Then if I married down a few casts, I would just be following in Kenna's foot steps. Not making my own." He opened his mouth to say something but the door shot open. "Princess May? Are you in here?" A guard shouted. "Yes I am in here." John got up and offered his hand. I thanked him and collected up the jackets from my costume and the blankets. I walked out of the room and the guards ecourted him to his family. "Good bye Sir John, Visit soon." I said as I curtsied. "Good bye Princess May. I will try to visit." He said as he bowed. He walked towards the ball room as I walked to the third floor. 

   As I reached the third floor, I decided it was a south rebel attack. Bodies covering the floor. Paintings ripped off the walls and torn in all directions. I sped my pace as I walked to my parents room. 

   I reached their room and knocked on the door. "Mom? Dad?" The door swung open and I was engulfed in a hug. "Where were you!?" Mom asked worried. "I was in a safe room for the maids. Are yall ok?" Tears slid down moms face. oh no. "Where is everyone else? In their rooms?" "Yes they are." She smiled sadly. "Go tell them you are ok." Mom ushered me to Ame's room and hurried back to hers and shut the door. I heard it lock. I knocked on Ame's door. "Ame's? You in there?" "May?" I heard a tired voice say? "Yes. America can you please open the door?" I asked gettign worried." In just a minuet. I am getting changed from my costume." "Ok" If she is changing out of her costume, the attack couldnt have lasted to long could it? Or did I just get out around the same time they did? "I am going to change out of my costume too. Come to my room when you are done please." "Ok" I heard from the door. I walked across the hall and into my room. It was in mostly good condition.

        I heard crying from the bathroom though. I opened the door a tiny bit and recognized her from the ball. "Hello? Ma'm are you ok?" I said as I walked over to her. "Oh Princess may, I am so sorry, I got lost and separated from my husband and my son," She said as she quickly stood and curtsied. "Please just call me may. What is your name?" "Melanie Blue. Have you seen a boy a little taller than you, dressed as a chef. I saw you and him talking rith before someone yelled rebels." "John?" "Yes! That is my son." "I will take you to him. I had asked the guards to take people to the ball room so I am sure he is in there. SHe nodded and we walked arm in arm down the hall.  She gasped and her arm slipped from mine as she slid to the floor crying. She had sat next to a body of a man. Her husband. I sat next to her and rubbed her back like Mom would do to Gerad. She turned and hugged me and I willingly hugged her too. She cried for a few minuets and I rubbed her back and patted her hair in a soothing manner. She had to be only a year or two older then me. Now she is widowed. We stood up eventually. "Do you want to lay down and I get your son and bring him to you or do you want to find him in the great hall with me?" I asked her softly. "Can I lay down?" She asked quietly, still shaking with sobs. "Of course." I led her back the other way and back to my room. I saw Sophie and Lucillia in my room cleaning so I had them tend to Melanie. I found Grace in the ehall and had her bring clean clothes, comfy clothes of course, and warm tea. I walked down to the Ball room after making sure Melanie was ok. I walked to the microphone and turned it on. "Hello. Hi. um I am so sorry that happened while you were all here. Each guest will get a room for two days so that you can rest." I took a breath and continued. "May I speak to John Gray please in the hall. You will be escorted to your rooms in just a few minuets." I turned off the Microphone and saw John walking over to me. We walked into the hall and I asked him to follow me upstairs.
