I sat with my only friend I have left in this life. I look up at the night sky, thinking about tomorrow night and what will happen. Risha? I called out to her, "Yes she replied in a worried voice,
If running is our only option of living the life we dream of,the life we read of in the books we've read, would you run with me,so we could leave freely with no one to follow around no one to dressed in the morning?
I would run till my last breath to leave that life with you, Rose, "she said with sadness in her eyes... then let's run. we can go to a very far kingdom and start a new life. I said tomorrow is slave trade day, the best day to run away,
All night long, I told Risha about the plan
She was very impressed but not about the part where I would sing for the king while she'll steal my mother's necklace back from the King's bedside table...
As the night went by, sleep was far away from me. I tried to get sleep because tomorrow is going to be a long day. I was expected to leave my uniform at the maid office that morning. I left my uniform early. I went to the King's chamber, where Risha was already at. I gave her a smile and whispered desperate she returned the smile back to me. I went to the king bathroom, sat on the floor, and started preparing his bath. I was not supposed to be here, but if someone asked, I am the bath maid for the king and queen... I already know that everyone who has heard me sing fell in love with my voice, so I started singing the King's favourite song
Hmmmmm hmmmmm hm hmmm
My powerrrrrr makes me a star that shines bright among all King's and there queennnnnnnnn...
I ended the song very slowly. I turned, and the king was there looking at me like i had killed his wife. A....a...am sorry my king leave he said as I was about to leave the door wait he said come at night when the moon is up he said and I would punish you for this.
The thought of flogging crept into my mind. I left his chamber, and Risha was outside waiting for me. Hay, you got it. I asked her yes, and here she gave me my mother's necklace it was a beautiful golden necklace with a small diamond key as the lockets opened a small box. I shoved it in my pocket before someone could see it. I went to the maids chamber, and I wore my black dress Risha made for me. I held my hair in a ponytail. I took a bag and packed some bread and water. I put my little box and two of the books I took from the Royal Library. The map was nicely folded, and it was in the book. I looked at myself in the mirror one last time, and I went out to the garden. The sky was grey. It looked like it was going to rain Rose...Rose overhear Risha was standing alone. I walk to her, hoping that we sit in the same carriage...it has been days, and we have not yet arrived at the Palace, but I know it is time for us to run, so I looked at Risha and whispered it time.
Pov-*******Risha******
Rose was not a good actor, but luckily, the guards were very stupid not to notice Rose ran into the woods, and I ran after her shouting. I need to poo.
The guards all started laughing, but everything was going according to plan Rose, and I did not stop running. We ran for hours, and we only stopped when we saw a big tree. we climbed it and lay on the last branch up a few hours later. we saw a guard looking around like a mad dog, and he left. we decided we would only live the tree in the morning when it safe Rose gave me bread and a bottle of water. I looked up at her and smiled because of her. I am free today. Tomorrow is a new day of my new life I used my cape to cover my body and protect myself. From the cold, this is going to be a very long night. Good night, Rose. good night, Risha.
