" Candice are you here?" I said walking down the halls.
"Leave me alone!" She yelled coming around the corner with a sward scarring me. Candice wasn't old, she was a thirty four year old women with light brown hair.
"Oh I'm sorry child it's just you. I thought it was a crazy person." She said tossing the weapon away and giving me a hug.
"You're so pale and skinny, dose this Pan starve you?" I laughed a little.
"No just have t been eating that much."
"Oh my goodness, I'm going to go get you something to eat, go get in bed!"
I giggled at how serious she was being and followed her orders walking to my bedroom. I put on my nightgown and crawled into bed.
(Nightgown in the picture)A smile tugged at my lips as I threw a pillow to the other side of the room and took out the bow I hid between the mattress and headboard. I was shooting at the pillow when Candice walked in with a bowl of soup on a tray.
"Now Autumn, would your father want you doing that?"
"Candice my father was killed in Neverland along with his guards." I said shooting one more arrow before setting the bow down.
"Well not all of them." A man said walking into my room. He was the one that set me free and helped me run away.
"How are you still here?" I asked
"I told your father that I would stay behind in case you returned. The truth is I knew he wasn't coming back."
Candice handed me my soup and I told them they could sit with me.
"Well not to be rude or anything, but I'm happy your father died, he was never a good King, he would always take money from the people instead of helping them." Candice said playing with the lace of her apron."Yes. Thank you Autumn for whatever you did in Neverland." The guard said patting my shoulder.
"What is your name?" I asked
"I'm John and if you ever need me just call my name it come find me." He said getting up and going into the hall.
"Wait, John if you wanted to you can stay in the room that once was my fathers.
He smiled and laughed, "I already was."
~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~As soon as John left the room, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. Candice removed the tray from my lap.
"Are you alright Autumn?" She asked worried.
"Yes I think I'm just getting a little sick."
