The Runaway Princess

Owner of the Eyes

After my horrifying meeting with my not so nice uncle, I decided to go on the tour. Not like I really needed it but, I would probably be kicked out for wandering around "private property".

When I entered the castle, I found out that it was well kept, which is a good thing. But the bad thing is that it lost some of its regal-ness, it still felt like a castle, well what else would it be. It looked like it had been left empty for a long time, but I knew that was false, because apparently the werewolf prince had been staying here for quiet some time.

The tour guide which reeked of dog, if you know what I mean, lead us into the throne room.

I felt my palms start to sweat. This was the last place I ever saw my father and grandfather, alive. And it was killing me, my memories were probably altered but, all I could really hope for was that they made it out alive as unlikely as that is. All I had was hope. But my hope has already faded away.

Something made me turn around, a strange powerful force, I looked around, but saw nothing. I felt someone staring at me, I turned around, and saw the other tour group. I scanned the group, then a pair of eyes meet mine, which made they other pair of eyes look away. I look at the person that the eyes belonged to, well it was a him, and I didn't know him so I went back to looking at the wall.

I got a feeling that there was something important here, but I couldn't figure out what it was. I tiled my head upwards, I saw a faint glow from a spot high on the wall. I squinted my eyes, trying to figure out what it was, a flag, I saw a flag with a crest on it. I had seen that crest before, but I didn't know where.

"Hey are you coming," the tour guide said

I nodded my head and got at the end of the group. We walked through the entire first floor, then headed up to the second floor. The whole way I was trying to act like a wasn't interested in the castle. We were told that we could explore as long as we didn't touch anything. So naturally I went to my bedroom first.

When I walked into the door I was amazed, the room was in the exact condition it was when I left it. So werewolves did "appreciate" history or at least didn't want criticism, when and if someone decides to take back the castle. My necklace I took the necklace my mother gave to me when I fled the castle but the necklace that I would have to wear to be ruler is still were I left it. I hope.

I made sure no one was around and opened my dresser. I slid my hand under the drawer and opened the latch. The necklace fell right into my hand. I put the necklace in my purse and close the dresser drawer. I stood up and started to turn around.

"What are you doing" someone said from behind me.

I froze, well mentally. I turned around, quite quickly too. I came face to face with the person that I caught staring at me earlier.

"N-Nothing" I said trying to keep my cool.

"Oh really, I think your're lying," he said

"Well I guess I am because I'm technically on a tour, so I guess I am lying," I said.

"That's not what your're lying about," he said

"Then what am I lying about," I said

"I have a pretty good guess," he said

"Oh, you do," I said

"Yes, yes I do... Daniella," he said
