The Sparrow's Eye (In The Eye Of The Sparrow Book 1)

Chapter 2

"You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one"

John Lennon  

Why is prince Arrow here and with the guy that always seems to follow him. King Wilder is usually the one that sees me. But what would prince Arrow's reason to speak to me. It is not like he has ever spoken to me before.

"Where are the guards that brought you here"" he asked me.

"I have no idea your majesty. They just pushed me in here," I told him.

"Ash, get the guards that brought her in here," he told the other guy.

He just gave him a nod and went out of the room. Which was like a more closed prison cell with a small light coming from the ceiling with a small table with two chairs.

"Could you come and sit down Sparrow?" he asked me as he was sitting in one of the chairs.

I slowly came and sat in chair that was on the opposite side of the table where prince Arrow was sitting. I still don't understand why prince Arrow is here. Why is he here instead of his father? What could of happened that made need to come to me?

"I know that you are expecting my father Sparrow. But once Ash gets back I'll let you know what's going on," he said.

I assume that Ash is that guy I always see following him around whenever he comes to the cell tower. It is not like I haven't anyone with him when he was around.

When Ash came in he had a very stern look on his face. I bet he is thinking a very deep thought. I wouldn't be surprised.

"Sparrow, king Wilder of Rosia, my father, has an offer for you. He is offering you your freedom. But only on condition," he said.

"What is that condition?" I asked him.

Just after I asked prince Arrow that I believe I saw that whom I believe is Ash was giving me a death stare. It was like how dare you ask him that.

"The one condition is that you pretend to be fiancee for three months," Arrow said.

"Will I be free to do what I want after those three months?" I asked him.

"Yes you will. That is what he told me anyway," he said.

"I'll do it," I told him.

"Do you want to tell the guards to take off her handcuffs and shackles your majesty?" Ash asked Arrow.

"Yes please Ash," he responded.

As Ash got up to get the guards I started to get butterflies in my stomach. This will the first time in twelve years that I didn't have any handcuffs or shackles on me. I can't believe that this is really happening. I started to doubt that I will ever get free.

When the guards came in they took off the handcuffs and shackles that were left on me for so long. When they finally off my arms were sore and you could see the marks on me of where they were.

"Sparrow will you okay to walk to grand hall. I just need to go for a minute before showing you to your room?" Arrow asked.

"I should be fine," I responded.

As me and Arrow were walking out of that tiny room Ash was following us. Does Ash normally does this? I know I saw him with Arrow he was doing that for the most part. But is that what he does all day everyday? I know that Arrow is the prince and all but Ash should have a life of his own. He is his own person after all.

Once we got to these huge doors, which I assumed led outside the butterflies came again. When Arrow opened the one door I knew that this was real.

I could feel people in my class staring my hair as we were silent reading. I know they were staring at it as well. It is not lie everyone has rainbowed hair.

Even with that I would like to go a day without someone staring at it or someone telling me how unique it is. After a while it just gets really old.

As I was reading my book I couldn't help looking behind me. Of course like every time before as soon as I look behind people look back at what they are reading. Even my teacher was staring at my hair this time. Which unfortunately happens sometimes. Even though she does actively try not stare at my hair all the time.

"Everyone silent reading is over," she called out.

As we all put our books away our teacher, Ms. Song, got the lesson on the board. Usually people don't pay too much attention to my hair when there is a lesson going on.

When at the end of class everyone left the classroom. But I took my time packing my stuff since I didn't have a next class. Sometimes I ask Ms. Song for extra work since I don't always have something to do during that time. She is usually pretty happy giving me some extra work since I have one if the highest marks in the class. If not the highest mark in the class.

Once I have gathered all of my stuff together I went into the busy hallway. Where everybody could stare at my some more. Which usually happens. Even though some people try to make it look like they are not looking at it. I'm usually aware that they are. It is something that can be somewhat obvious either way.

As I got to my locker the three minute bell went off. Which means that Principal Ambersworn will be out looking for somebody to get into trouble and I'm his favourite to try get in trouble.
