"Oh k.."

"Yes. Now that I've made myself known, I'll go straight to the point" Mrs Moira Queen said.

"The point?. Sorry Mrs but I don't follow." I'm confused here.

"I need your help Gloriana". She took off her glasses and holy crap that's the most amazing eyes ever. So so blue.

"Gloriana? Gloriana?". She asked.

"Oh yes!. Sorry I kinda got carried away. You know your eyes are amazing". I smiled. I may sound all lesbi now but I couldn't care less.

"I said my little angel needs a bodyguard, like a friend, someone who's going to always be beside her". She said..

I'm hell shocked now.

"And you think I'm perfect for the job??.." I asked.

"Yes. You're my only option. You've proven yourself to me. You courageously fought for my daughter and saved her from...."

"Ok hold on" I interrupted her.

"Just cause I did all that yesterday doesn't make me a hero. I mean anyone could have done the same thing." I justified.

"No they wouldn't" she said clearly.

"They wouldn't stay strong even at gun point Gloriana. I need you to..."

"I'm sorry but I can't.". I made myself clear. I can't be a bodyguard. I never planned for it. Never.

I turn around and decided to leave.

"Wait" Queen Moira said. She gave me a paper sheet.

"In case you change your mind". With that being said. She left.

I opened it and there were numbers written on it. I tucked it in my purse and left.

===================================

At work. While cleaning up.

"The heck.....she be like all over town!". Madeline gasped.

"I wish I was popular" Irene said.

"You know there's a way we could be popular". Madeline suggested..

I rolled my eyes at their silly conversation. Oh well it's ain't going anywhere.

"Do you know the princess is missing and if she's found the finder gets a million dollars." Madeline continued.

"Ahh." Irene gasped again.

I nearly choked up a laugh.

I can't believe this two are busy planning a princess rescue mission for a princess who isn't missing.

I can't wait to burst their bubbles.


"For real?" Irene asked again with her all shocked voice.

"Yeah for real" I popped in their conversation. Madeline only rolled her eyes at me.

"The only problem is she've already been found". I couldn't help myself, I just had to pour that out.

" How do you know that". Madeline seems unhappy about this news.

"Oh cause I found her".. I couldn't help the smirk that found it way to my life right now. This just felt good.

She seemed shocked but then again gained her confidence.

"How do we know you're not fooling us?". She asked.

"Oh well I just happened to meet Queen Moira this morning and she said she needed my help. She wanted me to....."

"Are you three working?!" Mrs Williams interrupted.

"Or you're all just feeling the air!". She added..

"Ok feeling the air? I don't get..." Irene said

"Shut up and get back to work y'all!". Mrs Williams ordered and left. There was silence and we all just left.

=================================

"I'm home mum!" I shouted.

No response." Mum?"

Aunt Tilly popped up "your mum's at the hospital Gloriana."

"Oh.. so she finally had her test done?. Amazing" that's the best news ever.

"But we've got big problem Gloriana" Aunt Tilly sounds sad and that really affected me a lot.

Like it's my mom we're talking about.
"What problem?".

" The doctor said your mom has cancer and that she'll die soon if she don't get a surgery Gloriana" Aunt Tilly explained.

"What!"

"That's not even the worst part Gloriana" she sounded sad... Like she was going to cry if she told me..

"What do you mean by worse?" My voice started croaking..

"She fainted Gloriana. She fainted because of everything she heard.. the doctor said they can't operate on her without money"

All I felt now was the hot tears streaming down my face...

This news hit me hard.

"I came home to see if I could gather some money from the safe but all I can see is paper sheets" Aunt Tilly said.

"I need to see her" I'm not sure if she heard me because that was kinda low.

"Let me get my bag." She said.

=======°=======°=======^======^

"Like I said ,Miss Jules your mother's health is critical. We can't do anything now till we see the cash. I'm sorry." The doctor said for the fifth time...

We've been begging him but I'm not sure he's even listening.

I went into my mother's room and there she was. The only thing alive there was the heart monitor. It just kept on beeping.

"I don't know where to get the money from... it's too much Gloriana" Aunt Tilly interrupted my thoughts.

"Don't worry Aunt Tilly.. I'm going to get that money somehow." I consoled her.

"From where. Your job can't even afford half of it"

"Maybe I can get a loan" I suggested.

"Loan?. Do you know what amount we're talking about Gloriana. The hospital is asking for half a million dollars and you're planning on getting a loan.?!"

"Can we not argue about this?" I asked her.

"What you need is a new job Gloriana. A new job that pays well" she added.

"Where am I supposed to get a new job from?". I'm starting to hate this conversation.

" I'm just suggesting that you need a new job Gloriana."

"A new job????. Wait." I searched for the paper sheet Queen Moira gave me but it isn't there.

"What?!"

I pour out the contents of my purse but no pamphlet just makeup and tissues.

You know only those girly things?. That's what fell out. Now I'm scared.

What do you think happened to the pamphlet Gloriana is looking for?.
