"Miss Saige!! Miss Saige!! Get up! There is an attack on the palace!" Ryan shouts at me. "SAIGE!!"
"Mphm?" I respond, only half awake.
"There is an attack on the palace! Fallow me to the safety area NOW!"
"What?!?" I run out sliding into some ballet flats that are by the door. We run down the hall and too the left, I hear footsteps of what I hope are other girls. My small steps try to keep up with Ryan's lager ones but it's no use. He turns the corner and I slip behind him further and further back. Being me, I trip by trying to make a close turn and hitting my shoulder. The palace rumbles and a painting slips, cutting my shoulder on the way down.
"Ryan! Ryan! Where are you?!?" I whisper.
"Saige get down! Crawl over here as fast as you can!" he whispers.
"Omph!" I cry, as he pulls me into a small closet like safe area. It's about seven feet long and seven feet high, and five feet for the width. Comfortable for three, squishy for four, unbearable for five.
"This are mini safe areas. You are supposed to be in the large one, which is about the size of the parlor. That is for the King, Queen, Prince/Princess and guests. We have enough here for two days, food and supplies wise, but that safe can last for two weeks!" he says in astonishment.
"What about Kelsey? And Stacey? And Lauren?" I ask, fear in my face.
"They have a room like that but it's for all the staff. It's not nearly as nice, but it works and that's all that matters."
"What is going on?"
"That is information I cannot disclose you on, but if Prince William doesn't disclose it, I will let everyone know."
"Oh I also got cut, and I am bleeding. Badly."
"For crying out loud Saige why didn't you tell me?"
"Didn't seem important?"
"Gesh, shine the flashlight on my phone please." he commands. I quickly swipe up and shine it on the cut. "You will need stitches. I am sorry I have to be the one to do this...."
"It's okay, better do it now than later."
"I am not trained in this, but I know it will scar and hurt."
"It's okay, better do it now than later."
"Okay, can you reach over and grab that medical box from me?"
"Yes." I say quickly passing the plastic box.
"Okay, take this." he says, taking off his shirt. "Bite it, scream into it, whatever helps. Drink this." he says pouring what I hope is pain reliever into my mouth.
"I am going to start Saige are you okay?"
"I am okay." I breath. "I am okay I am okay I am okay I am okay I am okay." I mumble through gritted teeth. My forehead resting on his shirt. He cleans my cut which hurts like touching a hot glue gun or twisting your ankle. Except forty two times worse. And it stings.
"Sewing you up won't hurt as much. God you are so brave Saige."
"If I was Andrea..." I mumble, feeling miserable.
"That would have been rough. I am done now Saige. Don't move quickly though." I flip over on my back so I can see him. He slowly lifts me up and then props me up against his shoulder. He rubs my not injured arm and we just sit their peacefully in silence. I slowly drift asleep. The last thing I remember was Ryan lightly kissing the top of my head.
"You are so brave and beautiful Saige."

"I got the okay from the leader to get out." He says, getting himself put together and taking out a card. "This is they key to getting us out."
With a quick swish the door beeps and he pushes it open. I see mud footprints and random prices of grass. This is giving me the creeps. "Let's get you to your room and you can get dressed, then head down for breakfast."
"And an explanation." I mutter under my breath.
********************************************
"I am sure everyone wants to know what happened this morning." Will says as he address the group. "Recently we have had some rebels, people who want to fight back against our system. More or less they do not wish for my family to be in power. We have tried to keep this under raps, for the public would be extremely concerned when it was a small problem. However now it is a larger problem. Tonight I will be on United Kingdom of America news, and let everyone know the situation. There are two groups, South Rebels and North Rebels. South Rebels want to kill and destroy the palace. North Rebels want to disrupt us, they are more mysterious and we do not know as much about them. But both groups are a threat. Last night, South Rebels got into the palace. But we stopped them early on. Thank you for listening." Will looks to me and I scratch my chin, and he repeats the action back. I get excited knowing sometime today he will visit me.
********************************************
I slip on a black sports bra and black mesh leggings and through over a long sleeved pool blue shirt, then run up to the gymnastics arena. I take off my long sleeve and put my water and mini duffle down. I start singing and warming up.
"Full of honey
Just to make him sweet
Crystal balling
Just to help him see
What he's been missing
So come and get it
While you've still got time
Hey
Get your boy on his knees
And repeat after me, say
Take a sip of my secret potion
I'll make you fall in love
For a spell that can't be broken
One drop should be enough
Boy, you belong to me
I got the recipe
And it's called black magic
(And it's called black magic)......"
I do some round offs and then work on my jumps. I do split jumps from each end of the arena to the other until my hamstrings hurt.
"Good job, again." Will says smiling at me. "You are getting really good."
"Thanks" I say smiling back.
"Your maids said you would be up here."
"They were still in my room? I told them to take a break!" I said chuckling.
"They were working on a dress or something..."
"Oh okay, probably for the Update."
"What happened to your arm?" he says alarmed.
"Oh um last night while I was running for my life and expensive painting fell and cut my arm. Sir Ryan gave me stitches... sorry about your painting."
"You think I care about the painting? Are you okay? Does it hurt? We should have the doctor look at it."
"No way, I hate seeing the doctor. It always freaks me out."
"It's okay, I'll be next to you if you get scared."
"Are you sure it's necessary?"
"It's okay, I'll be with you. Let's go."
"I am still not so sure about this..."
