~3rd person~

     Jerome walked around the small storage room in the West Wing of the castle. He frantically looked around, hyperventilating.

     "Where is it?!" He screamed, "Where is the last axe?!"

     The fear in his eyes grew at every second. Dread filled the room as he knocked over boxes and supplies searching. He couldn't find the last axe.

     "No, no, no..." Jerome stuttered, "I... I need to... I nee-ee-ee-ee-eed to find it."

     A small light filled the air as Preston walked in, "Misour? Qu'est-ce qui ne va pas?"

     "Nothing is wrong. I just can't find the axe. Jess reorganized the room."

     "Would you like me to ask her where it is?"

     "Oui, S'il vous plaît. If it isn't any trouble," Jerome pleaded.

     "Non, not at all, I'll go ask."

     Preston hobbled out of the room to go ask Jess, the maid, where she put the axe. Jerome kept, frantically, looking as if his life depended on it; in a way, it did.

~Preston's POV~

      "Non, not at all, I'll go ask," I replied to Jerome before leaving the room.

    Last I saw Jess she was cleaning up Mitch's room. I hope she's still there. I thought as I turned the corner that leads to the East Wing.

     "Watch out!" a voice cried from behind me. I turned to see Mitch falling.

     "Misour! Are you okay?" I vociferated with grief, "C'est ma faute, it's my fault. I am very sorry."

     "Non, it was me. I should've paid more attention."

    "Anyways, I must go find Jess. Au revoir."

     "Au revoir!"

     As I left I could hear mitch singing to himself:

                                              Hunger Games

                                              I wanna win

                                              I win it all

                                              I wanna win all da-a-ay

                                              I'm not teaming

                                              I'm not teaming

                                              You shoulda learned how to pla-a-ay

                                              Yes, I win it all

                                              So, I wi-

     The singing died off as I walked towards his room. I think Jerome would actually enjoy his voice. He enjoys singing. I thought to myself as I continued walking.

     About five minutes later I had reached Mitch's room and had caught myself humming the song he had been singing. I knocked on the door.

     "Come in!" A female's voice called to me.

     I opened the door to find Jess cleaning. "Oui, excusez-moi, Jess?"

     "Hmm? Oui, Preston? What is it?"

      "Prince Jerome was wondering where you put the axe?"

      "Axe? I haven't seen an axe for months."

     "Oh..." Worry crossed over my face, "I'll go tell him. Merci."

      "De rien."

      I walked out, once more humming the song Mitch was singing. It's a good song.

~Jerome's POV~

     I watched Preston walk out.

     "I need it," I sighed to myself. I continued looking.

      I spotted a glimpse of silver; I picked it up but, it was just a chain with a golden amulet on it.

      Hmm, I've never seen this. I wonder if it's Jess'. Oh well, I'll put it back.

      I sighed, looked out the window. It was nightfall. I put everything back to how Jess had it and walked out into the darkness. I shuffled my way back to my room and went to bed.

A/N: Just a few things:

1. I know this is short but I need to help out with a lot right now.

2. I'm sorry about how late this is. As you know I did have Writer's Block but I also had a family emergency.

Will Jerome find the axe or will it dull before he can?

Remember helping others can help you more than you realize!
