Who Am I

It Started - October

     When her aunt was telling her about the necklace she almost slipped, you can tell she misses her sister a lot. I think this might be the girl we are looking for. I told she queen about the necklace and the whispers Saturday was hearing in her mind. Queen Crescent asked me," How old again dear?"
     "14, your highness," I patiently responded. She seemed to be thinking about what I told her quite carefully. I think she agrees with me, this is our girl, even if she is a bit young her gift has surfaced.
     Finally the queen snapped out of her thoughtful haze and called a servant to draw her a warm bath then said to me," I think we will keep watching this one October."
     "Yes, your highness, what can I do to help you?" I asked politely. To be honest I didn't want to help but if I told her she'd have my head.
      " I will station you at her school, you are to be in some of her classes and become good friends with her report to me every weekend," Crescent informed me," and if she shows her gift to you, you must pretend you have it too."
     "Yes your highness." I blandly stated.
     "Now get to it and I'll station other men near you, you can give them your notes and they'll give them to me."
     "Of course, I'll be on my way now your highness."
     I headed back to the Saturdays house instantly to avoid getting a tongue lashing from the queen, I also didn't want to be late- I wasn't too high in the other guards' rankings. They thought the queen favorited me because of my father, he was a great soldier.
     By the time I got to Saturday's house her and her aunt were downstairs eating breakfast. Saturday was sitting in an old oak chair from which the stain was wearing off of, in front of a matching table with a hand sewn table cloth, which I noticed had the royal emblem on it. Her aunt was in the kitchen cooking some of the food while Saturday ate what was already cooked and in front of her. Saturday was reading a silly fantasy book. I don't why why people would read those, they fill your mind with silly ideas and no real knowledge at all. Meanwhile her aunt was humming some age old tune, luckily they didn't notice me slip and hit the side of the house.
     As I shakily rose to my feet and rubbed my hip I looked inside their large kitchen window with the dusty faded cornflower blue curtains drawn partway back. I take a step back and wince silently when my back is pricked by a pesky rose bush. I see Saturday's eyes widen and she looks around trying to hear something- it must be them. Now I'm positive her gift has surfaced.
