The Queen Or The Witch?

Chapter 9

I was on the other side of the gate to the palace. I kept my ears close to the gate to hear if anyone is there. I heard faint snores. It was so quiet outside but I could hears multiple snores adding up to about 30 people on the other side. Great . At least now I can decide what to do next.

Please God save me . Now it's all in your hands. I am taking this risk believing in you. Please please pleeeeeease! I thought with my hands clasped together to pray.

I went around the brick wall covering the palace. At the very back of the palace the brick wall was much lower for me to jump over if I stood on a barrel. Luckily there was a barrel nearby me which I already knew about which is why I chose this plan. It was heavy but I fortunately rolled it near the wall without making a loud noise.

I quickly jumped over and luckily once again I had a soft landing with only a soft thud. It was very silent. The walls were white but could be spotted because of the dim yellow street light nearby. I waited silently for a moment to hear the surroundings properly. I heard no one. So I proceeded with my plan . I walked on the soft moist grass. There was a door at the back probably for a garden which I was walking on. There was a key hole which I tried to open with a Bobbi pin. It worked. I silently rubbed my shoes on the rough mat beneath me. I was about to get in when I felt a grab. Sweat dripped down from above my ears. I shuddered. Scared. Thought that somebody caught me. Trembling I turned around to see the catcher. To my relief, my coat had been hooked on a thorn. I cautiously removed it. Then I quickly left a sigh of relief. Then stepped in to feel the same sensation that I had when I first stepped inside the palace.

Prince's POV

I was lying on my bed but sleep wasn't supporting me. The only thought was of Keya. My mind wouldn't allow me to take the thought of her away. For some weird reason, I imagined Keya climbing over the back wall and trying to come inside but I knew it was just a dream or more of a imagination. I turned around to watch the clock ticking away.
The time was 1:22 I hate not sleeping ! Urgggggg!!!

1:30
Ahhhh..
No sleep came. Still awake. That was the first time I was awake the whole night. I tried closing my eyes at least to drift off but no, nothing would work. I then decided to get up from my bed and go walk around a bit. As I walked I heard footsteps as the wooden floor beneath creaked. I stopped to hear another soft, slow footsteps coming my way. I thought that was my dream so I pinched myself to see if the happenings were real. I sadly pinched really hard that I was about to let out a loud scream but I stopped myself just in time to hear the footsteps coming more closer. I quickly hid inside my room silently shutting the door. I forgot to lock it but I heard the footsteps getting louder meaning that person is nearer. The reason why I didn't take a risk. I then wondered Was my dream actually true?
I concluded with a no. I can't have a reality dream I thought. I covered myself up to my nose with only my eyes and hair visible with the blanket. I heaved. My heart was beating faster. Being a prince I have to be brave but I am not that brave in real life. I heard the footsteps in front of my door. Then I heard it go away. I felt relieved. But before that the footsteps came back to my door. Thanks to my great ears that when I heard I went straight back to my position.

Then I saw the door knob turning! Now half  way but I could see the person the said footsteps belonged to! I sat up on my bed. I was about to say something but I felt a finger on my lips and a hand at the back my head ruffling my hair. I saw the person clearly making eye contact. I saw her! I saw Keya. My dream was true. I saw her in my room. In front of me . With little distance between. Feeling each other's tense hot breath. I was starting to sweat! I processed what had just happened. I went to take her hands of my lips. I had lots of questions in my head. I was angry. I had mixture of feeling which was unable to check. I was mesmerised by her black glistening eyes visible from the moon light through the glass window.
