Something in the water

Chapter 7

I wake the next morning and start packing even before Maggy knows I'm awake. I dress myself and go to breakfast. The king is not here and some one tell me he's not feeling well. So I can't tell him I'm leaving yet. Breakfast is made up of eggs and toast today, Peter keeps giving me cheeky looks as if he knows something I don't. I finish breakfast quickly and go back to packing. I pack quietly, so when I hear a knock on the door it makes me jump. I walk over and open the door without turning to see who it is, I keep folding my shirts. Peter walks in and closes the door behind him quietly, "I thought I might find you in here" he says. "You aren't allowed in here when no one is around." I scold him but he gives me an iresistable smile and I laugh. "You know you don't need to leave" he says turning serious. "Yes I do, I know how everyone's getting it, maybe I can help" I tell him and finish packing. "Well I can't stop you from going, so I'm going to come with you." Peter says. I look at him gobsmacked. "I can't let you come,what if something happens to you? What would I tell your father?" I snap at him. "Well if I'm dead then you probably will be too so you don't have to worry about it." He snaps back at me "I'm coming and there's nothing you can do to stop me". I sigh, why does he have to do this to me? "Have you told your father?" I ask calmly. I don't want to fight with him I just want to leave. "No not yet, you?" Peter says he can tell I'm trying to calm things down a bit. "No I haven't seen him all morning." I say. I'm going to see him just before lunch to inform him that I am leaving, not we. "I need you to stay here" I say quietly "I need you to be safe". "I won't stay here while you're off doing whos knows what, against who knows what" He says "I need you to be safe, and the only way I can ensure that is by coming with you, and too late I've already packed" He sticks his tongue out at me. Why does he have to be so cute? "Fine you can come but I'm not responsible for anything that happens too you" I tell him and we both leave my room.
