KARLIE'S POV

I watch Taylor look all around looking for me. I'm hiding behind a tree again. I hid behind it after dropping off the water by her house. I have to get back to the Palace before Mother and Father notice I'm missing.

I start running back towards the Palace. It's not that far from Taylor's house thankfully.

I arrive at the invisible barrier that guards our kingdom from the outside world. I slip into the part of the barrier that's faulty. I'm surprised Father hasn't noticed I've been sneaking out through here.

"And what do you think you're doing?" I hear a voice say from behind me.

"Jesus, Cara. You scared the crap out of me," I say, trying to calm my racing heart from her scare.

"Where were you?" she says, ignoring me.

"I-I was out. Looking," I respond.

"Looking for what, exactly?"

I roll my eyes, "This is useless," I think. "Cara always seems to know what I'm doing before I even do it."

"Listen Cara, I was out wandering last night and I noticed a girl. She was very beautiful so I thought I would come back this morning." I say truthfully.

Cara looks shocked before responding, "A girl? Like a human girl? Your Highness, you know you can't come into contact with humans. You might get killed!"

"I was safe, Cara. You know that. Plus I didn't get noticed by anyone else. I'm fine," I say before starting off towards the Palace.

"Still. You need to be careful. You don't know what the human can do." Cara responds, catching up to me.

"Taylor would not hurt me. I'm sure." I say.

"Taylor, huh? Cute name," Cara always also knows when I have a crush on someone. No matter what. I don't know how she does it.

"Cute girl, too." I say blushing slightly.

"Oooo, someone has a crushhh!" Cara says in a singy way.

"No I do not. I do not have crushes on humans."

Right as I say that I arrive at the Royal Palace. The guards open up the gates and I walk in. Cara follows behind me, as usual. We walk up the Grand Staircase, down the hall, to the left, and into my room. I jump onto my huge bed and roll around in it.

"Ugh. I'm so tired." I say while yawning.

"Maybe you wouldn't be tired if you didn't sneak out, again." Cara says to me giving me "the look".

I glare at her before closing my eyes again. Just as I'm about to fall asleep a knock comes from my door.

"Who's there?" I groan.

"Uhm- it's me miss! Harry." One of my servants, Harry, says. Harry's more of a friend than a servant though. He's always been there for me. Cara insists he has a crush on me, but I don't believe her.

I sit up before responding, "Come in, Harry."

Harry walks in and ruffles his hair, "Your Mother and Father sent me. They need you in the Main Hall instantly."

I roll my eyes again and look at Cara. Who knows what I'm in trouble for this time. Hopefully they haven't found out about me sneaking through the barrier.
