Chapter 2 - Thank you

<The next day>

*Third person POV*

Once again Claire didn't get the best night's sleep, but it was better than the other night. She got 6 hour of sleep last night and was happy with it.

Claire was dusting the suits of armor that were lined up along the hallway. She was humming the tune of the song she was currently writing, just enjoying the peace. She closed her eyes and did a little spin, once she opened them she was met with the one and only Prince Wilbur.

She jumped back in fright, putting her hand over her heart she let out a breath. "Sorry, I really need to stop scaring you," he chuckled. She bowed and said "don't worry, I'm just a very jumpy person," she giggled, Wilbur couldn't help but smile at her.

"What can I do for you?" Claire asked, " oh well actually I was just looking for you," he replied, "me?" She said surprised. "Yeah I was coming to thank you for helping me yesterday," he said scratching the back of his neck.

"Oh, you're welcome, I'm sure if you saw someone fall out of a tree you would help them too," she giggled, Wilbur laughed as well. "Yeah that was rather embarrassing," he chuckled. "Why were you climbing the tree in the first place? If you don't mind me asking,"

"Well actually I was flying around the garden when a bird flew into me and I fell out of the sky, went through the tree and splat on the ground." He said making a splat motion with his hands.

"Oh my, that would be why you broke your rib then," she tried not to laugh, " how is your rib anyway?" She asked

"Oh it's all healed, the physician is really good at his work," he replied, patting his rib cage. She laughed a little before turning back to the armor she was dusting, "we'll be a little more careful flying next time okay? I might not be there to take you to the physician next time," she said, glancing at him.

"Well Claire, I'll let you get back to what you're doing, I'll see you round huh?" Wilbur said, "yeah, I hope so," Wilbur waved before phasing through the wall next to her.

She smiled to herself before continuing to dust the suits of armor. Wilbur would have liked to talk to her more but he knew she should get back to her work.

He thought back to what she was humming, it sounded really nice to him. Wilbur wondered what she was humming, he didn't recognize it and that comes from someone who writes songs.

It bothered him that he couldn't figure out the song but he didn't want to go back and ask her, he felt bad for eavesdropping in the first place so he kept it to himself.

Claire was feeling ecstatic, she just talked to the prince she's had a crush on since she was 15. Butterflies filled her stomach for the rest of her day. Nothing could make her feel down. Well at least that's what she thought. she just finished her work and it was currently 9:50 and she was ready to crash for the night.

But sadly her stepmother came in and said "Claire dear, I have a few chores for you," she proceeded to tell her a list of chores for her to do. Claire mentally cried, she knew she wouldn't finish until at least 2 in the morning, so she heaved herself up and started to work.

<Time skip>

It was currently 1:15am and Claire was about halfway done with the list. Her butterflies from earlier had gone and she was exhausted. By the time she finished it was 2:20 and she was physically and mentally exhausted.

A/N: poor Claire 😔
