The Key

Work!

The next day, I was working more than I usually did. From 11:00 am-4:00 pm I was at the pharmacy. Then I was expected to go help the tailors since there was a huge rush (probably lowered the prices for one day) and I was there from 4:00 pm-7:00 pm. Kyle was helping the farmers and last time I saw him, he was trying to grow some crops. I don't think it went very well, but you never know. He also had to help at the fish market. My dad was handling some business with Memzinious at the castle, so Kyle and I had a lot on our hands.

I came back home tired as hell, as soon as I reached the castle I dragged myself up the stairs and managed to make it to my room and passed out the minute my head hit my pillow. Some thing was nagging at the back of my head, and I knew I forgot something but I just couldn't remember.

When I woke up the next morning I remembered. James! Oh how could I forget, he must've been waiting forever, and now he probably thought I was super mean and like a bad person for standing him up. I took a shower and got dressed then went down for breakfast. My dad was sitting there cutting up his pancakes.

"Good morning Tori, did you sleep well?"

"Yea, sorta..." I mumbled as I got myself some pancakes.

"Well, I just wanted to tell you that you and Kyle can take a day off today. You and Kyle helped around the village so much for the past few days that I thought you deserved a break. I'm better now too, so there's no need to stay at work longer." My dad smiled at me. "But I do need you to do a little grocery shopping. The chef needs milk, bread, eggs, tomatoes, peas, bananas, baking powder, and mint leaves."
"Yea, sure I'll pick those up. Hey dad can I wander around the village and explore a bit? Like we haven't really gotten to go sight-seeing or anything it's just work, work and more work.
So once Kyle and dad got to work I went down to the village to get the stuff my dad needed and came back home to put them away,once I finished what's I had to do I wanted to go site seeing so I walk around for a bit till I bumped in to James "hi" looking up at him, he didn't talk so I did "I'm sorry I forgot that u wanted to meet me at the well, I was working extra hours" I felt so guilty. he replied "it's ok " and he walked away looking sad, I ran up to him and asked "why did u want to see me?" "Forget about it " I felt sooo bad . I kept walking around till I saw the castle that my mom lived in ! I was tooooo curious, I had to go!!!!! Sooooooooo I sneaked in to the castle. Hiding from the guards till I bumped into ..........
