Her Royal Highness

22

James and I were in the car driving back to the Palace. His graduation ceremony just ended and our friends threw a party for him back in London. He was happy and had held my hand all day after he got his diploma. He was happy and I am joining his happiness. I looked outside the car and I saw that we were near the bridge where the accident happened. I breathed in a huge amount of air and just gulped the happiness that James was spraying all over the car.

        Terry, my close security detail was sitting in front of us with our driver. He has been in service for two weeks now. I can say that he is a great security. Though, annoying because of the security checks, I can't blame him for it was his job.

        "Slow down, Danny." Terry said. The driver nodded and I looked at James. He looked grave.

        "What happened? Suddenly, you look like you have a fight." I asked my husband and held his hand tighter.

        "We're not slowing down. We're accelerating." He whispered.

        I gulped. "Danny, please slow down."

        "Your Highness, I am trying but it seemed like the brakes aren't responding." He was trembling. I can see that he doesn't know what to do.

        "Please do something, Danny."

        "I am, Your Highness. I don't have any choice but to look for a proper object to have a minimal impact."

        I gulped. I'm panicking but I tried to stay calm. Danny drove some more and we're near the point where Mum and Dad died. I don't know what to do. I held James' hand tighter. I felt that history would soon repeat itself and I don't want to lose James.

        "Neither of us don't know what would happen." James said.

        We were startled when he heard screeching tires of a car. I looked ahead and my eyes were pinned to a fast swerving car ahead of us.

        I closed my eyes. All I heard was Terry instructing Danny on what to do.

        Suddenly, our car was unresponsive. Danny was sending distress signals to the headquarters in the Palace.

        "We are in need to immediate help! The Prince and Princess would be harmed!"

        I moved closer to James. I'm shaking. The shaking won't slow down. I'm in the middle of a panic attack of remembering the day Mum and Dad died. Is this sabotage? The only thing comes into my mind was James. I want him unharmed.

        The car was getting faster by the second and Danny was trying to get more help. We're now swerving and the other car with us has gone in our lane and suddenly followed our direction.

         I shook my head and snuggled to James. He enveloped his strong arms around me and tried to calm me down. I hope they understand that I have gone through this and I lost both of the most important persons in the world for me.

        "Jamielle, everything will be okay. I promise. I'll hold onto you as tightly as possible so you wouldn't be hurt." He said.

        "Your Highness, I deeply apologize on what's to come." Danny said.

        "Yes, Your Highness. We couldn't find a safe spot for impact for all that surrounds us are concrete and wood."

        "I understand, Terry, Dan—"

        We were all shaken when we felt an impact from the back. I heard the glasses shattered and James ducked me down.

        "Alert! Brakes were cut! Brakes were cut! Distress signal sent! The Princess and the Prince are in grave danger!"
