Evie's POV

I jump up and start running after Charlotte. "Charlotte, come back!" I yell, kicking off my heels and running barefoot. She stops at a cross hall but then starts running ahead again. That leads straight to the gardens. "ok, she'll be fine. But just in case." I mutter, pulling my phone from my pocket and dialling Ben's number. Mal doesn't really see the need for a phone.

E- Evie
B- Ben

B: Hello?

E: Ben, Charlotte ran out and is headed to the gardens!

B: Why, what happened?!

E: I'll explain later, just make sure she doesn't run off!

B: Ok, thanks, Evie. Bye!

E: Bye.

I end the call and let out a sigh of relief as I walk back to collect my shoes and go to my room. I feel like having a lazy day today. Picking up my blue heels from the ground, I walk into my room and place them on a chair. Looking up from my phone, I see a plate of chocolate chip cookies on the bed, with a note from Doug. "Though you would get hungry, so Esmay and Daniel made these for you. Love, Doug x" I read as I snacked on a cookie. They were delicious!

Charlotte's POV

I kept running and eventually made it out to the gardens. Sighing in relief, I rolled down my sleeves and started walking, hand in my pockets. (I forgot to mention this, bus coz her dad is a cat, she can shape-shift into one. Like an animagus type thing.) There was a lake to my left and a Forest to my right. Seeing as I hate water, I changed into my cat form and started walking towards the forest. Maybe lazing up a tree would be nice.

Oh, this is what I look like in cat form:

I take after my dad a lot, don't I?

Anyways, I had walked quite a way into the forest by now, and decided to climb a tree to laze in. Okie, how we doing this, human or kitten? I asked myself as I looked at a tree. Only I didn't have time to climb; I was too distracted by the bloody arrow that shot past me! I screamed and ducked to the ground, covering my head in fear. The sound of footsteps was heard, and I looked up to see a boy around my age stood in front of me. He had tan skin and raven black hair, with a few tribal patterns painted on him. The boy held his hand out to me, and I took it wearily. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." He quickly apologized as he helped me up. I shook my head and replied, "It's fine. I'm Charlotte, Charlotte Cheshire." He smiled and shook my hand, "Kono, Kono Rolfe. But everyone calls me Kono."

"Everyone calls me Char. Unless you get adopted off the Isle and come here. Then you get called sickly names like 'sweetie' and 'princess'."

"You come from the Isle? As in, the Isle Of The Lost?"

"Yeah, my dad was the Cheshire Cat, but I've been an orphan since my first birthday. Ben and Mal adopted me yesterday."

"King Ben and Queen Mal?"
