The phone was ringing. Cassia had been waiting for the hour to hit 4:30, and as she looked at who was calling, she realized it was Ben. The princess didn't waste any time answering his call.
"Hello?" Cassia greets the other line.
"Cassia? Hey, I'm so sorry but something came up. I won't be able to meet up with you. Do you think we can reschedule until after Cotillion?" The king sounded agitated as if he was in a rush of something. Cassia had a confusing look painted on her face as she paid attention to the sound of his breathing hit the line.
"Yes of course. Are you okay, Ben?"
"Yes, there's something I have to solve. I just have to go now, bye."
"Bye." Cassia withdrew the phone from her ear pressing the red button for the line to go dead, that confused look still on her face. How weird.
She wondered what could've emerged that had him that overwhelmed — but the princess only shook her head with a few blinks, tossing the phone next to her. Jane was still not back in the dorm, meaning she was still alone. The dark-haired girl was probably somewhere off finishing her errands for Cotillion.
She decided that if she had nothing better to do she would do her schoolwork. She needed to finish her Chemistry and Enchanted Forestry homework. So much work.
The hours were passing, being 7:10 now, and the princess laid in her bed over her belly as her legs crossed high in the air, she had been done with her Chemistry homework, only needing to write a couple of notes that she wasn't able to finish. Now, she was on to the Enchanted Forestry, but Cassia was getting tired, yet she didn't want to sleep, being afraid that she was going to dream about that same boy again the princess simply preferred to stay up, but the sleepiness was winning, and her eyes were getting heavy. Maybe just today she won't dream.
So Cassia decided that she would take a nap for at least an hour max.

The hour kept on going, and Cassia was still asleep. Jane had gotten back into the dorm and when she noticed her friend sleeping, she tried to be as quiet as possible. The brunette slept peacefully for four hours, that was until she started to feel a good cold feeling fill her body.
She was back in that forest, her surroundings now recognizable from the amount of times she had been there. Looking around she found him, that pirate boy.
"Who are you?" The princess asked not wanting to get closer because she knew that if she did, he would disappear.
The pirate didn't answer, he just looked at her with those ocean eyes that she couldn't stop staring into, even if she wanted to.
"What's your name?" This had turned into a question that she asked repeatedly. "Why do you keep showing up in my dreams?" Cassia began to slowly walk over to him, as slowly as she could so he wouldn't fade away, but as she did there was a voice that called for her. Cassia's body was starting to feel hot.
