POV: ???????? (Not Lily)
I opened up the window, watching the smoke roll out the window. A curl of thick, black hair fell into my eyes, quickly swept away by a green finger.
The cauldron continued to boil and bubble and I kept adding my ingredients. Wart of troll, poison grass, and water from the river of life.... Wait, what? Curses! I don't have the river water. Now I'm going to have to retrieve it. Oh but it's so close to the castle.I might get caught..
-------------------
I flipped my hood up and dove deeper into the woods. I needed to get the water from the pond, where it's properties are at their height. As I'm nearing the clearing where the pond is, I hear voices, pockets of laughter and giggles. As I round a tree I see that dreadful girl's short, blonde hair bouncing around her shoulders.
Panic sets in and I start to inch backward. Every crinkle of a leaf agonizingly loud until
Crack!
Both Lily and the dark-haired boy she was with heads' turn towards me. The boy immediately jumped up to me, trying to defend his princess.
"Stay away from the princess!" He shouted, trying to make his voice deep.
I didn't stay to chat though...... I sprinted off in the other direction.
