(Katy's POV 13 years old)
    Lawrence and I were in the garden playing hide-and-seek when he snuck up behind me. "Gotch-ya!!" He bellowed as I screamed, another boy older than us came behind him "don't touch her you peasant!" He commanded
   "Don't talk to him like that!" I defend
"I can talk to him anyway I want," the boy told me "I'm his superior. Prince Severic Frenchmen kind of Harold's Castle!"
   "I'm Princess Katherine of Serithia child of light, daughter of The Prophet, and this is my best friend!" I argue
"I'm your fiancé," he stated " you do as I say!"
"You don't own her," Lawrence chimed in "you will never as long as I live and breathe!"
"That can be arranged." He stated and left.
Later on that day as I'm walking through the garden by myself this time. Lawrence went home by Severic's command. I see a bird singing on a branch so I sing with him.
Cambridge, to Boston; lives in a world she's lost in. Victim of compromise. He's staring at her Aberdeen heart, London eyes, Glasgow bone. He's in love with the statue in a marble block. He's in love with the girl that time forgot. She just shuts her ears she's fallen too far, with salt in her scars. Don't let him taste her tears; she's fallen too far the girl that time forgot.
"Pretty voice" Severic says rushing up to me
"It's better with Lawrence." I said emotionless
"Lawrence this, Lawrence that" he spats "What's so magical about Him!"
"Everything" I comment
" how old are you?" He asks trying to bring light to the dark atmosphere
"Twelve," I answer "And you?"
"I'm already almost fifteen," he says dazed "I didn't know how young you were."
"Now you do." I say and walk away from the man I'm supposed to bed and marry to conceive a child with.
Next morning I run up to Lawrence to see if he wanted to play with me, he declined. "I have to do work today, because of that snotty boy!" He complained
"But your my Barden you're supposed to protect me with you life?" I say irked
"Yeah tell that to him." He said nodding toward the young king heading our way
"Clara," he said "Lawrence isn't allowed near the castle or you!"
"What!" Lawrence and I say in unison
"He's a optical in our course of a relationship." Severic Commented
"Bu-bu-but, you can't do this!!" I say as I slap him and run to the throne room to tell my parents of what happened.
"Mom! Dad!" I bellow half through the room
"Yes,dear?" My mother questions
"That boy kicked Lawrence outta the castle!" I answer threw tears
"We know, we ordered it." My dad said
"You can't!!" I scream at my father

"And why just not!" He argues back

"I-I um I," I stutter "I love him!" I say

"Exactly what I feared!" My mother said

"Please?" I pleaded

"We send Lawrence away or you go."

"Bye, then." I say emotionless
