I lied wake, scrolling through Instagram on my phone. I looked at my everyone's post. I looked at the little text message Icon. I tapped on it and I got a text from my friend, Cody. He'd sent me another silly picture of him laying down in his hotel bed watching Peppa Pig I sent him 2 laughing face emoji's and texted him 'What is wrong with you?'
He was fast to reply, 'The fact that you're not here with me' and sent 2 tongue sticking out emoji's. I laughed and rolled my eye's. 'Well I'm going to sleep now, C ya!' I texted him. 'Dream of me?'

There was a small piece of paper in the bottle. I took off the cork on the bottle and flipped the bottle upside down so the paper would come out. I opened up the crumbled piece of paper, and there were words on it. It looked like a different language, but I was still able to read it. It read, Your highnesses, when will you finally leave those land-livers and stay here and rule forevermore? What did that paper mean? And why did the paper say land-livers? What the hell were those? Her and her sister? And what did it mean leave and rule forevermore? I'm so confused and my hands were shaking. I dropped the glass bottle on the floor, which had a loud crash. It broke into 5 huge pieces, and I could hear footsteps moving around upstairs. I heard loud footsteps making it's way downstairs, but I was gone before they could reach...
