Jack

He sprinted up the stair cases, trying not to make noise, but obviously failing.

"Prince Jackson," one of the maids stopped him.

"Yes?"

Please move.

"You're sister is crying in her room. So w-"

He cut her off, "Sorry mam, but i've got to go, but uh thank you for telling me, I'll go talk to her right away."

"Oh okay your highness."

He waved behind his back as he continued running up the stairs.

Jesus Christ, is seven flights of stairs necessary?

He was out of breath we he finally reached the floor where the guest bedrooms were.

He had a new found respect for how fast the servants made their way around this maze of a castle.

Jack searched through the five bedrooms until he came across the person he was looking for.

"Elise!" He called, his anger resurfacing.

"Oh, Jack, shouldn't you be in bed? It's almost midnight."

"How could you?" He demanded.

"Uh what?" She inquired, obviously caught off guard.

Jesus Christ.

"You told my parents, you ratted me out!"

"You think I wanted to tell them about how you threatened a guard?" She shot back, clearly angered herself now.

"I did not threaten him," he sneered.

"You said you'd behead him, and if I didn't tell your parents I would've lost my head as well!"

"They wouldn't have beheaded you! They know you're my friend. You had no right to tell them!"

"Get it into your head Jackson! I'm a freaking servant and you're a prince, we are not friends!"

Ow.

"Clearly we aren't friends considering you blab out everything to my parents."

"It's my job!"

"You could have pretended you didn't know!"

"You are ridiculous, you know that even Janice would have done the same thing."

Fuck.

"Do not bring Janice into this. You two are completely differ in situations!"

"Think about this in my perspective you selfish prick!"

"Y-"

Their argument was cut short when a timid voice cut in, "Jackie?"

"Willow go back to bed," he ordered, not even glancing at his sister.

"But Jac-"

"Willow I'm kind of in the middle of something."

"No," Elise interrupted, "we're done here. I need to get back to work anyway."
