God Save The Queen

Chapter 3: First Day

First Day

After I snuck out of the house- Mansion, man I'm gonna have to get used to that- I found a nice patch of woods and decided to start exploring. Usually, I wouldn't have gone anywhere near it, but I was desperate to find somewhere to think (privately). So, into the dark creepy trees I went. 

After a couple of minutes of walking I started to wish I had worn something a little warmer, and some decent shoes. It was freezing and the underbrush were starting to rub against my ankles, and it was starting to get irritating. 

Luckily there were no signs of any animals... Thank god. It was freaky enough as it was, I didn't need any weird sounds scaring me senseless. It did cross my mind to go back but I wasn't ready. In fact, I wasn't sure if I was ready to go back at all. I can barely keep myself together, not to mention an entire country. I was not cut out for this royal crap. 

Most girls would be overjoyed and would pounce on the chance to be princess, but not me. I have always been different, and this just centered me out even more. I hated it.

Before I could think anymore about running away from my new life I saw a speck of light off to my right. It looked almost like moonlight... Of course, I let the curiousity get the best of me and began to walk towards it. 

As I was walking I didn't notice the tree root in front of me, and being me, I tripped, and landed face first in the leaves. Lovely. I probably would have looked ridiculous. This day just gets better and better I thought as I rolled my eyes. 

I pushed myself off the ground, probably to fast as my vision went black and something-or someone- walked right into me, banging their head against mine...

"OW!" I exclaimed, extremely frustrated.

"Oh-oh! I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" Said a deep voice, almost like a teenage boy. 

I looked up to see the most beautiful crystal blue eyes. They were like none other I had ever seen, they were so beautiful that it was as if they put me under a hypnotic spell. All I could do was nod my head to answer the question.

Then much to my dissapointment he said sorry once again and rushed away. I longed to look into those eyes once again. They made me feel a sense of calm and peace like never before. I made a vow to myself at that moment that if I ever saw those eyes again I would never let them out of my sight again.

In my trance I wandered over to the clearing that the light had come from and lay down thinking about the beautiful pair of eyes.

*** 

After a while of laying in the clearing my mind finally managed to move on to something else, like whether or not I was going to stay. I could either run now and get far, far away from this place or I could stay and possibly find out who the eyes belonged too.

After weighing out the pros and cons of both sides (and you can bet there are tons of those) I had finally made my desicion. I was going to stay. 

It was time to stop being a wimp and step up to the plate. That, and I had to find those eyes again, I'm sure they had to belong to someone working for me, if not then why would they be all the way out here?

As I began to head back it started to get increasingly light out. I might be able to get a few hours of sleep in at least. It seemed early enough as there was no one on the grounds so far so I snuck back into my room by climbing up the tree and into the window. I was surprised I hadn't been caught actually, I wasn't exactly what anyone would call "stealth." But either way, I was glad noone noticed and I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. I was drained both mentally and physically.
