Something in the water

Chapter 8

What am I thinking? Peter can't come with me, how am I going to explain this to the king? Well no time to think of a plan. The butler shows me to the king's study.
"Please take a seat." The king gestures to a chair on the other side of his desk, then continues reading whatever paper he has in his hands. There's no easy way to put this so I might as well blurt it out, "I am going home" I say confidently. "Really, and who said that was a good idea?" The king questions me. I can't help but notice the paintings on the ceiling, they're gods or something like that, really old looking and probably greek. "I did, I'm going home to help." I say trying not to sound like a spoilt child. "You must be joking there's nothing for you back there" the kings tells me. There's nothing for me in my own kingdom? My mother is still alive as far as I know so yes there is something. "I am going back to see my mother and try to help her through this, and if I can't help her then I need to be there", I'm starting to get angry and he can sense it. He stands up and walks around the room thinking for a moment. He looks at a painting of a beautiful woman, probably his late wife. He shakes his head and sighs. He walks back to his seat. I stare at him expectantly, finally he agrees to let me go. I get up and leave the room as fast as I can. I wonder how he's going to react to Peter asking to come along? I hope he doesn't get into too much trouble. I reach my room and find Maggy in there. "Maggy we are leaving." I tell her, she just stares at me and frowns, "Why? It is not safe in our kingdom. We are supposed to wait until it's safe then return" Maggy says. "Well I want to help mother, or at least just see her again." I say a tear sneaking down my face, I wipe it away quickly hoping she didn't see it. She does and comes over and gives me a hug. "I have already packed my things," I say try not to sound like I've cried. Maggy picks out another outfit as we are leaving soon. I put it on this time it's a mint green dress with little pockets at the front and a sweetheart neckline, she pairs it with black ballet flats and green butterfly broach. When Maggy isn't looking I go over to my drawer and take out the little bird Peter gave me. I smile looking at it, thinking of him. I put it in my pocket quickly, and walk toward the door. I think I'm going to miss it here, I think before closing the door behind me for the last time.

"Thank you for having me" I say to the king and Peter. "It was a pleasure having you" Peter says with a cheeky smile, the king gives him a strange look. He obviously doesn't know how much time we have spent together. "Yes it was" the king says. I shake their hands their and head down the stairs to the car, I risist the urge to run down them. The butler opens the door and I hope in, but before the butler can close the door Peter appears and kisses me, his lips feel soft against mine. He pulls away "You didn't say goodbye properly" he laughs. I kiss him again, "when do you think you will come?" I ask. "Sometime this week, as soon as I can get my father to agree." He says then kisses my forehead again before disappearing. I watch him as he runs back up the stairs.
