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

Chapter 6

"For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness"

Ralph Waldo Emerson

As we were walking to the kitchen I felt my stomach grumbling. I didn't realize how hungry I was till now. I guess that I didn't really have to think about it till now.

"You okay Sparrow,"Arrow asked me.

"Yeah I just didn't realize how hungry I was till now," I said.

"Oh okay," he said.

We just continued to walk to the kitchen with Ash not that far behind us. I was trying not to think how hungry I was right now. So of course when I'm not to think how I am my mind admittedly thought what kind of food they had in there. Nice Sparrow. That is the perfect thing to think about when you are hungry.

When we got to the kitchen it was much more grander than what I thought it would be. I just don't know what to do with myself.

"What do you want to get for you," Arrow asked me.

"Um. Do you have any berries," I asked.

"Of course we do Sparrow. Why wouldn't we," he said.

"Thank you. I haven't had any in years," I mumbled.

"I couldn't catch what you said. Could you repeat," he asked me.

"I haven't had any in years," I said in a more clear voice.

"Oh. I didn't realize that it has been years since you last had some," he said.

"It's okay. It's not like your father would tell what I have been eating the last twelve years," I told him.

"I know. I just wished I knew," he said.

"Arrow I can have some now. That's what matters most," I responded.

"I guess that's true," he said.

We went to the fridge after that. The more we were in the kitchen the more I realized how huge it was. I can't believe that Arrow has a kitchen this huge. I guess I shouldn't be that surprised though. He is a prince after all. What should I really expect? I wouldn't be surprised if he has the best everything. Why wouldn't he? He has the money to do so. At least I assume that he does. I assume that's how his dad got to convince the royal family of Remita to hold me as a political prisoner for so long. At least I'm starting to get some of my freedom now.

As soon as Arrow got the berries he opened the container and gave me a handful of the berries that were in there.

I just ate the berries one by one as he closed the container and put it back in the fridge. As we were leaving the kitchen I was still eating the berries one by one until they were gone.

"Were they any good," Arrow asked me.

"Yeah. Especially since the last time I had any was twelve years ago," I said.

"If you think the berries are good then you'll think dinner is amazing," Ash said while behind me and Arrow.

"Why will I think it is amazing," I asked the both of them.

"First of all it is the food in the country. Also it is always a feist," Arrow said.

I never heard anything so amazing before in my life. I never especially the last twelve had the best of anything. While I was in that jail cell I just had the scraps of bread and milk they had in the castle. It was barely even scraps. It was just enough for them to say that they fed me. I wouldn't be that surprised if Ash and Arrow were thinking that I was crazy.

It was my father no less. Why am I really that surprised? He was just talking to me. It would really make sense. I don't know why I was thinking anything different. I really should have thought about it beforehand.

"Cecily you can come," he told me.

As I walked towards where my father is I could feel his judgment towards me. I already know how he feels about my thoughts on this arranged marriage.Which is not very pleasant. I know he strongly disagree with me about the arranged marriage. He think that it is best that I go through with this arranged marriage. It is actually to the point that he is not giving me the choice to back out if I want to.I guess he already knows that I would back out as soon as I can. Which I totally would do if given the opportunity. But since I have no say in the matter I might as well go along with this. My dad claims that Calloway is a awesome guy. Which I won't that surprised if he is.It is just I don't know him nor have I met him yet. So I can't say anything about him yet.

"Cecily there have been a change of plans. Calloway is not coming here. He is going to meet you in Rosia. He decided when he was just about to get here," he said.

"Do you know why he decided to meet me there," I asked him.

"He didn't give us any reason why, but I think that he thinks that it would be more convenient for everybody, " he said.

"It would have been nice if he gave us some time before he just did it," I said.

  "I know. Ut give him a chance," he said.  

  "I am but I'm just saying," I said.  

"I will not take any backtalk from you. You can go now," he said.

As I was leaving I couldn't believe that he treated me like that.

"Cecily wait a sec," he said.
