Hey guys this is my first book so tell me what you think and vote please<3 Thanks •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• "Misty" Whispered her friend Violet. "Hey Misty wake up." Misty groaned. "What time is it?" She asked
"Four in the morning." Replied Violet. "Why are you waking me up so early? I'm supposed to wake up at six!" Said Misty as she grew agitated. Misty wasn't exactly a morning person.
"The king and queen are having another ball." Violet said rolling her eyes.
Whenever the royals have a ball the servants have to work double time. Misty sighed and pulled herself out of bed preparing for a long day. When she got to the castle, which wasn't a long walk, she went straight to the armory because she knew the prince wouldn't be up until eight fifteen .
All of the shields, swords, suits and helmets were lined up ready to be cleaned. By eight o'clock Misty had waxed the floor, shined the artillery and took the gunk out if the fire place. She stood back looking at her work, then she starred at the armory in awl, she would've died to use them at least once. "Oh shoot!" She yelled when she saw the clock. She raced up the stairs and down the hall to the prince's room. She hurried up and started the fire, laid out his clothes and drew his bath.
"Your highness." She said gently, "it's time to wake him up. Come on you have to wake up." The prince opened his big blue eyes to see Misty smiling down at him. "What happened to Rose?" Asked the prince drowsily. "She's been reassigned and I've taken her place." Replied Misty. "Good, I never liked her, she was always mean and bossy." Misty chuckled at his remark. "We'll I'm glad to here that." She paused. "So... Your bath is ready." "Oh good." Replied the prince as he got out of bed and went to the bathroom. As he washed up Misty made his bed and started to wonder how old he was. He looked about seventeen with his shaggy blonde hair. Misty was fifteen and very petite with long brown hair and big brown eyes. Just then the prince came in with the towel wrapped around his waist. "Are those my clothes?"asked the prince "Yes your highness ."
"Please, call me Jake."
"Ok, Jake, is there anything else you need?"
"No you can be off."With that she bowed and left the room as fast as she could before the prince could undress. Once Misty got out she went back to the armory to bring up the metal suits to where the ball is going to be. There were twelve metal suits. Misty hated this part but thankfully she was strong for her age so it only took her about forty five minutes. When she was done she decided to check on the prince. Once she got there she saw the prince pacing the floor with a worried look in his face.
"What's wrong?" Asked Misty when she came in."my parents, they just left." He paused. "They said they want me to find a bride at the ball." Jake knew he didn't like any of the princesses. Suddenly a brilliant plan came in his mind. "Let's go to the garden he said in a rush. "Um, ok." Replied Misty suspiciously. She had no idea what was about to happen.he took her hand in his and walked her to the garden. Misty liked the feeling of his hand around her's, it felt strong and warm.when they got to the garden's entrance the prince brought Misty to the middle were there was a huge water fountain about 24 feet high and was painted gold with England's flag sculpted on top. There were beautiful Azarias and roses and flowers that misty had never seen before! She was so wrapped up in the garden, she forgot all about Jake until he said "I need to ask you a favor ." "Yeah anything" misty said, startled "I need you to act like a princess at the ball." Misty stared at Jake in disbelief.
"Your joking, right?"
"Nope very serious."
"Why?"
"I know all of the princesses and I can't stand em."
"Are you kidding me! Do you know what will happen if this is found out? I'll die! That's what will happen!" She yelled in anger.
"Don't worry about that, if they do then I'll just tell them that I forced you against your will." He said, keeping his cool. Misty sighed.
"And your sure they'll believe you?" "Totally."
"Ok, what do you want me to do?" She said getting excited, she always wanted to go to the ball.
"I just need you to dance with me." Misty thought about his plan and realized two big problems. "How am I gonna be a princess if I don't have a dress or a crown?"
"Oh,I'll take care of that." Said Jake with a smirk crawling on to his face. "Ok but what if they ask what I'm the princess of?"
"Just make something up."
"Just make something up." Misty muttered to herself as she walked back to the castle. "Hey." He yelled the prince as he caught up with her. "Come to my room in an hour and, do your hair up."
"Yeah, sure." Replied Misty sarcastically. For the rest of the way neither of them said a word.
