It's been 12 years since the incident. I've been stuck in this castle since. I've restarted my archery lessons two years ago, and got my bow and arrows back. I am also taking singing and dancing lessons. I've been designing my own dresses but they won't allow me to make them. I still haven't got my hat back. They found it but they said it was to "boyish" for a "delicate princess" like me. Yet they allow me to take archery lessons? Yeah I question that too.

"Princess can you come here please?"

Oh great I bet it's another prince.

"Sure." I tried my best to sound happy, but it didn't happen. I walked downstairs only to come face to face with whom I thought was my long lost brother, whom was five when I was born.

"Derick?!" I questioned the man.

"Claire?!" He replied shocked.

"Great you two already know each other!" The queen announced.

"More like we're related." We said in unison.

"Oh, well then, I guess that won't work now will it."

"Yeah..." Then awkward silence filled the room. Then someone broke the silence.
(Story chunk missing looking for it)
No, not him. Not Mike.

"I'm here as one of the princess's suitors!" My hand contacted my face with little to no movement.

"Are you a prince?" Some asked with annoyance in their voice.

"Erm no..."

~YES!~

"Then you are not eligible to be a suitor for the princess."

Ok see that lady right there? See her? She is now my favorite person. Even though I hate her most of the time.

Chimes ring signaling me to archery practice. I grab my bow and arrows, then walked out to the garden. Having the feeling someone was following me, I turned around to find Mike.

"What do you want?" I snapped at him.

"You." He said with his stupid smirk plastered across his face. I rolled my eyes at him. He started to get closer but I walked away. My archery instructor hates it when I'm late, and I barely made it on time.

"Would you care to explain why you were almost late?"

"I had to deal with a suitor whom turned out to be my older brother who we thought ran away when I was two years old."

"Ok let's get started then." A few hours later I was finished. I returned to my room and found my brother. We for a while catching up on everything.
