I PEAK MY HEAD AROUND THE CONER CHECKING TO SEE IF ANYONE WAS THERE. Once I saw it was all clear I quickly walked down the hallway and speed-run towards one of the window that shows the front of the little palace. I place my hand on the window and peak outside.

I see some tents places up and some stands outside, some of the guests were already here hanging out.

I than back away after a while before turning away going to walk back to the dressing room so I could try and not get caught.

Walking down the hall just as I was about to turn the corner I bump into a rock hard chest and 'oof' noise escaping my mouth. I back away quickly noticing that I bump into a guard.

"I'm so sorry I didn't see you there."I quickly apologizing lifting my head up catching myself staining into those familair coffee eyes. We stare at each other for a few moments. Why does he look so familiar? I thought. I shake my head lifting a finger up to my lips.

"Please don't tell Genya or anyone else I left the dressing room when I wasn't supposed to."I plead with the guard. The guard opens his mouth and closes it, no words seeming to form. He observes me before his eyes lands on my necklace, I give him a pleading look.

"Please, Genya would kill me if she finds me-"My name gets called and I widen my eyes in panic.

"Irina!"The familiar voice shouts in anger. Without thinking I quickly hide behind the guard squeezing my eyes shut praying to the saints. Glad that the guard hasn't moved.

"You stupid girl, I thought we went over this, not only did you sneak out but Alina wanted to go outside as well!"Genya shouts dragging alina with her. I don't say anything. "I know damn well your hiding behind that guard, show yourself Irina."I let out a sigh and slowly peak my head out and give Genya a foolish smile.

"Hi."I spoke sounding oblivious. Genya rolls her eyes and grabs my hand. The guard went to do something but quickly stops.

"You're both so stubborn, wanting to go outside, why can't you both understand that no one can see you both yet."Genya huffs. Alina gives her a sheepish smile.

"Oh, come on, Genya no one really saw me, I was extremely careful."I tell her and she gives me a deadpanned look.

"I'm being serious no one saw me other than that guard."I make eye contact with the guard behind me who stands tensely before turning back to Genya who eyes the guard.

"Well, it's best we return back to the dressing room, you both have to see how beautiful you're kefta's are."She starts to drag us away rambling on about the kefta's I glance at the guard behind me once again making eye contact with him.

No, but seriously, why does he look so familiar? The though lingers on my mind.
