In the limousine on the way home I thought of all the ways I'd betrayed my new friends. I hadn't told them I had a Sa either. Especially that she was Queen Karina of the Aw Sa's.
I sighed as quietly as I could but somehow Miranda heard, "What? You should have expected us."
"I was expecting Lilyanna again, you know. Suspicion and everything?!" I grumbled. "Now they know, I can't go to school ever again. Thanks mum."
I scowled and Miranda looked at me shocked, "A lady and a princess should never scowl in public and especially to one's mother," she scolded.
"Well lucky we aren't in public then, huh?" I replied, sticking out my bottom lip in a pout.
"You young lady are very naughty and you shall not be joining us for dinner until you learn manners from your new tutor," Miranda chided.
"I don't need a stupid tutor!" I cried, trying to hold my arm back from hitting her.
"Oh I think you do missy." Miranda chided. "She will teach you discipline and manners. And you will not be this rude to her I hope?"
A thought hit me, "Who is she?" I asked nervously.
"Madame Laurella, teacher of discipline and manners to ladies and princesses," Miranda announced.
Laurella, Laurella, where had I heard that name before? I was sure I had... Just where?

"Up to your room young lady! You will see Madame Laurella in twenty minutes," Miranda scolded, as soon as we got home.
I hurried up to my room where I released the Queen of the Aw Sa's, Kari. My best friend and adviser.
"What can I do Kari?" I asked her.
"About what, my wise Saffire Charlotte?" She asked in reply.
"About her! About the new tutor?!" I almost screamed.
"Well that depends on what you want to do to her," she replied.
Outside the wind howled and the lightning cracked and popped with booms of thunder all the time outside my window. The rain lashed down when suddenly I heard hooves on cobbles and just thought it was the new tutor, Madame Laurella. But when I looked closer I thought I saw a dog loloping beside the figure on horse- back. I quickly grabbed my night vision binoculars and looked even closer.
Hang on... That's not a dog! That's. That's a. A. A wolf! The man swung off his horse and put his wolf in to invisible mode. He then hunched over and knocked on the big doors at the front entrance.
