I was drifting in and out of a haze I thought, but I soon realized what I done. William was staring at me, half in a bitter rage and half torn. I bit my lip.
Don't cry Evelyn
There was no taking back what I said, it didn't help any that my mother could possibly be dead and the Nazi's looming over me. My eyes started getting wet, I turned my head slightly.
"I will be taking my leave, William, Goodnight." I started walking away from the balcony's edge until strong hands grabbed my shoulders gently.
"Darling, listen to me, please. I lost the one person I loved and that was Princess Diana, my mother." William let go off my shoulders and stepped away from me, I looked at Princess Diana's engagement ring on my finger, I looked at William and walked over to him and I gently ran my fingertips on his back and shoulders. Until they came to his neck, I gently moved his neck until his looked at me.
"I love you William." I replied, I moved closer to him until my lips connected with his, William tried to pull away from me but I didn't let him, finally I felt his arm wrap around a section of my back. When he finally managed to pull away, his eyes met mine and spoke.
"I love you, Hackathrift Pippa and that is the only truth."
The land around me smelled of burnt flesh, it stung my nostrils and made me sick. I turned around to see nothing but mud and burned trees. I was living in a nightmare,
"Hackathrift Pippa." a voice through the smoke came to me, my blood ran cold. I knew that voice all too well, it was the one that struck fear in everyone's hearts.
I started running, my brown curls swept like a flag in the breeze. Suddenly I tripped on something and collapsed in the mud, footsteps came close to me, I attempted to get to my feet again but I couldn't, pain traveled like fire on my leg. I gritted my teeth, pulling away the clothing, I gasp at the barbed wire that had it's teeth embedded deep into my leg.
"Well, Hackathrift Pippa. You're trapped or should I say, Evelyn Detering!" Adolf Hitler stopped in front of me, an amused smirk on his face.
"I'll have you torn into so many pieces even the vultures won't find you," I growled, Hitler watched me for a moment before pulling his foot down on the wire before meeting my eyes.
"I'm sure they'll find you Evelyn along with your Prince," Hitler nudged what I tripped on I tripped on, it rolled to the side.
No
William lay there in the mud, his skin was a slight gray, his eyes were closed but he looked so much in pain. Tears streamed freely down my eyes.
"How could you?!" I screamed, Prince William was dead and Hitler had won, I finally mustered enough strength to get to my feet, I lunged at him but I was knocked to the ground. Hitler turned away from me, everything hurt and my eyelids felt heavy until I saw a young boy with brown hair and blue eyes in a German Soldiers uniform.
I awakened, drenched in a cold sweat, it was only a nightmare, a cruel reoccurring that I was trapped in. But I wasn't on the western front, for I was in my chambers. Suddenly a knock came at my doors.
"Hackathrift Pippa, are you awake? The royal family is leaving for Spain." Lila spoke behind the door.
"Yes Lila please come in." I dabbed the sweat off my forehead but I was ready for what was about to come.
