CHLOE'S POV (YOU)

I was so shocked that I ran on my way home. I went directly to my mother's indoor garden , it was where she usually stays.

"Have you been waiting, mom?"

"CHLOE! oh? you came home all alone?! where are the guards your father and I sent?! Are you hurt?" she said as she was scanning me for bruises head to toe.My mom was clearly worried and I kinda felt guilty for being so hard-headed... that guard was right. Ugh.

"No. Im fine. Mom, you wont believe what happe--" I stopped in the middle of my sentence when I realized that there was no way I'm telling my mom about what happend or else I won't be able to get out of the house again!

"What is it, dear?" mom said and she looked at me with questioning eyes.

"Nothing. Where's dad anyway?" I said, trying to divert her attention to dad's whereabouts.

"He's out with the troops, searching town." she said.

"For what?"

"There's an intruder in town! Didnt he guards tell you?!"

"They did." I said and watered a flower pot.

"You know what mom? I may sound like I left my brain somewhere,and unreasonable and totally out of my mind, but I dont really think they're bad. I mean the people who live in Kantor. Im sure they're tired of this whole drama, I should know. Im tired of all this. I cant do the things I want. I mean, what proof do we have that they are bad people?"

"We dont need proo--"

"Of course we dont need proof! BECAUSE ALL YOU EVER DID FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS ,BEFORE I WAS BORN, WAS ASSUME THAT THEY ARE BAD PEOPLE."

I was carried away by what I felt and I ended up blurting out everything I kept to myself for the past 18 years of my existence.  My mom slapped me in the face and went back to attending to the flowers. I was hurt. Why cant I say my own opinions about this? Tears welled up my eyes and I ran out of the garden and went to my room. 

My mom never hit me before. I understand how tiring it might have also been for her. I got a book and read it. It was getting dark and I heard from my nanny that my dad was home. I went straight to the dining room since it was also time for dinner.

"Dad." I called him softly and he.looked my way.

"Are you hurt?"

"No, Im perfectly fine."

"Then that settles it. Take your seat and eat your dinner."

"Im not hungry, though. Im tired. Can I go to my room now?"

"Okay. I'll make the nanny bring you your night tea. Be sure to drink it before going to sleep. Lock your door even if there are guards roaming around."

"Okay. Good night."

As I made my way out of the dining room, I met my mom. I avoided eye contact and decided to just ignore her but she grabbed a hold on my hand, so I faced her.

"Did you eat already?"

"I'm not hungry, and I'm tired. I need to rest. I'll just drink my tea then go to bed." I shook my hand to get out from her grip and she let me go. My nanny was following me up the stairs carrying my night tea. I needed this night tea because  I couldn't sleep well at night. It's either bad dreams, or shortness of breath. I have atleast 5 dream catchers in my bedroom because of my nanny. She believes in those kinda things. It wasnt a bother anyway, the dream catchers she gave me were really pretty so I just hanged them.

We arrived at my room and she placed the tea on my table.

"Chloe, did something happen?"

"Nanny, you've been with me since childhood. And I guess I could trust you with this."

"What is it about then, child?"

I told her about what happend that afternoon and how I cant get him out of my mind.

"You better rest. It was a long day for you indeed. Here, drink your tea and I'll take my leave. Change into your night clothes and sleep."

"Okay. Good night."

After I finished my tea, she left my night light on and went out of my room.  

I was about to get to bed but suddenly, I heard a knocking on my window. I was scared but I decided not to call the guards. I gathered courage and went to the window. There was a piece of paper pasted on the window.

Can't stop thinking about me, huh? Me too... Meet me tomorrow. Same place, same time. Sweet dreams.

                            -HZT

With that letter, my heart jumped. I looked outside my window but I wasnt able to see him anywhere. I closed my eyes and tried to remember how he looked like. Eyes that were taunting but sweet, his hair that was as dark as the night sky, and lucious lips. I'll know him if I meet him tomorrow. I went excitedly to my bed and slept.
