Beauty

Chapter 6:

It's all my fault! I've gotten my dad kidnapped. Its all me.

Why me. Why can't I be normal like everyone else. I sit down at my desk and let out a small wimper. My dad could be dead because of me.

Why do I have to be so selfish and want everything. People are dying on the streets and all i want is to be one of them but, I sure do not want to be me.

A small knock sounds from outside. Tears still running down my face I try my best to wipe them away before opening the door. My lady's maid Meranda stands there bowing her head down to show pity.

"Ma' Lady I come to show my grief for the missing king. And also to say that if you sneak out again today, becareful." My mouth drops down.

No one knew. I am the only one in the kingdom that knows I sneak out. How can she know?

"I do not spy madamn I just happened to notice yesterday and the day before you walking out of the castle." she says bowing her head down again.

"Did you tell anyone about this?" I ask a not of sterness in my voice.

"No of course not ma' lady." she says curtsying.

As she walks away I start breathing again if my mother found out about this she would be so mad at me, especially after my father has gone missing.

I sit down on my bed, what would she do to me if she ever found out? It's not like she could ground me of I already am?

But, I must go out of the castle today, I'd promised them I would. Meranda's words floated back to me as if from a dream. "If you sneak out tonight be careful." I've known her all my life and that's nit what she wanted to tell me. Knowing her she didn't want me to go out at all for the next week or so.

I can't just stay in here, my friends would get worried and might go looking for my supposed to be father, and anyway I can't just stay locked up in my room for the next week without fresh air. 

"Ok, good, and I'd like it to stay that way." I say.

She nods vigerasly to show her understanding and walks out.
