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

Chapter 4

"It does not do dwell on dreams

And forget to dream"

J.K. Rowling

As we were walking down the hallway where I think my room is going to be I couldn't help to think that if this was even real. Even if I did pinch myself to make sure that it was real it doesn't feel a hundred percent real quite yet. Actually I don't even know when this will feel real. If I do. I just can't believe that this is actually happening. I'm actually getting my own bed. I have waited twelve years for this. I haven't had a real bed in twelve years. I only had a makeshift bed in that jail cell that I was held captive in.

"We are here. Are you ready Sparrow," Arrow asked.

"As ready as I'll ever be," I told him.

When he opened the door to my room I couldn't believe that it was mine. It was a lot bigger than the jail cell that I was forced to be in the last twelve years of my life. I bet that bed that I have in here is a lot more comfortable than the makeshift bed I had before.

I went on my new bed without even thinking about it. As soon as I got on it I started to be cuddly with my pillows and blankets. When I did Arrow came to my side.

"Sparrow are you okay," he asked me.

"Yeah I'm okay. This is just the first time I had a real bed in twelve years," I responded.

"I didn't know that," he said.

As soon as he said I felt the tears wanting to come out. But I tried to hold them in since I got punished every time I cried.

"Sparrow did I say something wrong. I can see the tears wanting to come out," he asked me.

"No you didn't. This is just the best thing that ever happened to me," I told him.

"It is," he spoke lowly.

"Yes it is," I said with the tears coming out.

As soon as I said that he pulled me into a hug. Which I haven't had since before I was held captive in here.

"I promise you that things will only get better from here on out," he told me.

"Thank you," I said.

Ash came towards us as we were still hugging.

"Arrow, sir, your father wants to see you both now," he told Arrow.

"Okay Ash. Where does he wants to see us," Arrow asked Ash.

"In the throne room," Ash responded.

"Tell him that we will be there," Arrow said.

When he told him that we had let go of each other. I guess we needed to since we needed to see Arrow's father, the king.

"We can come back here if you like," he mentioned to me.

"That would be nice," I said.

"I guess that's settled," he said

"I guess so," I said.

We got off the bed and I followed Arrow to wherever we needed to go. Since he would have a better idea than me. I have only been in one part for the castle most part for the last twelve years.

As I was following Arrow I noticed that there was a really awesome smell. But I didn't know where it was coming from though. I wished I knew where it was coming from. It smelt really awesome.

When I wasn't focused on the awesome smelling scent I noticed that I've been to this area with Ash and Arrow from before when Arrow needed to talk to that one person. Even if I don't know that person personally.

But even if so I still can't believe that today is actually happening. It is like a dream coming true.

Once we got back to the doors of the throne room I knew what I needed to do around king Wilder. Which was what I normally did when he wanted to see me.

But would he want me to do with Arrow and possibly Ash there? Why would he want to do that with them there? He told me that it was our secret.

By the time Arrow opened the door I didn't have the chance to think. King Wilder was sitting on his throne waiting for us to come.

When I got back from praying to the Earth titan I saw the official for this Calloway person and I knew what it was going to be about. I knew that it was going to be about the wedding. That is always why his official come. He just wants to change everything to make it a civilian wedding instead of the royal wedding of which it is going to be.

"Princess Cecily may I have a moment of your time if I may," he asked.

"Go ahead," I said.

"Your Groom-to-be Calloway is concerned about one more thing about the wedding," he said.

"What is it that he is concerned about this time," I asked.

"He is just concerned about how his family will get there," he said.

"Tell him that they will get there in the safest way possible just like we discussed before," I told him.

"I will make sure that I will tell him. Thank you for your time my lady," he said.

"Your welcome sir," I said back.

After that talk I went somewhere where I would not think about the wedding. That place was my washroom. In my washroom, especially in a bath, was the best place for me to not think about the wedding. It was like my own getaway.

As soon as I started the bath water I heard a knock at the door.

"Cecily I know you are in there. You need to let in there now," My father told me.

So I went to door so I could let him in. I knew if I didn't I knew what he could do.

When I actually opened the door wasn't the only person there.
