When A Servant Remembers

Chapter Five

   “Are you sure we can trust her?” Prince Andrew and I we following Dawn to her shop.

   “Why?”

   “Well, we can't say for sure that you really knew her.”

   “So why would she do that? She happened to know who I was and didn’t know who you were.”

   “I don’t know. She might be a spy from Harmonia.”

    “How would she get in then?”

   “We’re here. This is my dress shop!” The place was beautiful.

   “Stop and think about this, it might be a trap.” He grabbed onto my arm.

   “I trust her. You can stay out here if you’d like.” Prince Andrew stayed outside as I walked into the shop.

   “Is Drew coming in?”

   “No, he thinks that you work for Harmonia and since I don’t remember you, that it is just a trap.”

   “Well, I know a way to get him in then.” Dawn whispered a plan in my ear and I agreed.

   “Let’s do it.”

   “Like when we were little.” I nodded and got into position in the back of the store, sitting in a chair.

    “How are the cookies?”

    “Great, how do you make them?”

   “I can show you, just come up stairs.”

   “Why? Isn’t the kitchen down stairs?”

   “Why must you be so clever?”

   “Wha--” Dawn pushed me up against a wall. She did it like she’d done this many times before. I didn’t feel any pain. She used a pan to make a sound like I was hit. “Daw-- Ahhhhh!!” soon the door was slammed open and Drew came running upstairs.

   “What did you do to May!!”

   “Aww, you do care about me, Drew!” When he looked at me, I was perfectly fine.

   “What the!”

   “We did this all the time when we were little. Right, May?”

   “I don’t remember really, but when you talked about it, I thought it familiar.” We both laughed well Drew just stared at us. “Well. Now that you’re here. Might as well stay.”

    “Fine.” Dawn and I talked about how we met fifteen years ago and what she saw when I was saved by the Sapphire kingdom twelve years ago.

   “When I came to the Sapphire kingdom palace, not remembering my name, king Cilan spoke with me about what I did remember. After saying I remembered nothing, he gave me the name Mavis. With no place to return home to, I was offered a job as a maid in the castle. All the other servants treated me like family, but once I grew older only a few people really remembered me. King Cilan forgot about how I was found as I was the age of every other maid now. Only Ash, Misty and the other servants remembered me.”

   “I’m so sorry, May. I wish that I had the courage to visit you in the castle and see you again, but instead I looked after my mother and father until they past away.” Drew stayed silent all through our conversation. We almost forgot him if it wasn’t for his green hair.

   “I am so sorry, May.” He finally said.

   “Aww, what happened to the arrogant prince I remember?”
