After me and Naomi got our drinks The handsome guy took us up stairs to our Chambers.
The hallway was very long and elegant. The walls were of pure gold, as a pink golden light cascaded down the hallway. The floor boards were of a warm chocolate brown with no cracks whatsoever When I walked down I could not help but feel transfixed by everything around me.
We reached the door of our chamber as the handsome guy opened the door, Naomi rushed in and jumped on the bed and fell fast asleep. I stand there in the doorway looking at the handsome guy in front of me.
"May I help you with anything else ma'am?"
"Yes actually you can, um what's your name? And do you live here?" I asked.
"Well my name is Jonathan you can calle Jonny or Jon. And yes I do live here. This is my mansion. And psst don't tell a soul but I'm a prince"
I stood there hands over my mouth trying not to scream out "YOUR A PRINCE!" My face was burning up I could feel the flames.
"You alright Ma'am?" He asked me.
"Yea I'm fine but please stop calling me ma'am will ya? It makes me feel old. Call me something else please"
"Alright what about Pumpkin?" He asked me.
"Sure that's wonderful"
Jonathan as I now knew his name looked at me and smiled his award winning smile, I blush and try and open my door but I fumble with the door. Jonathan came over to the door and leaned over and helped me open the door. As he leaned over he slightly kissed my cheek. I looked up and he smiled and said
" Goodnight pumpkin"
As I closed the door he winked at me.

I closed the door, and went to my bed and started breathing fast. I don't remember what time it was that I finally drifted off to sleep. In the dead of night I woke up from a crash sound. At first I thought it was just Naomi moving around, but the sound came again. I sit straight up and look around and see nothing.
I get out of bed and walk slowly to the door shaking with fear. I hear the treacherous noise come up behind me and I let out this loud scream like I saw a ghost.

I don't turn around in fright that whatever is behind me might eat me or hurt me in some way. I close my eyes shut as I feel hot breathing upon my neck, I start to sweat as the thing gets closer. I shut my eyes even tighter as the thing behind me grabs my shoulders.
I feel the claws dig into my flesh as I stand there frozen. Naomi is nowhere to be seen, I start to panick if this monster took my friend or if she's lost.

As I try and run back to my bed the monster runs after me, I scream loudly as I hear foot steps running down the hallway. A sudden hope rushes in my soul that I might be set free from this monster.
The door To my chamber burst open and there standing in the doorway is Jonathan. A smile creeps up in my face but not for long when I get smacked to the ground from the monster. I cry out in pain as I crashed on the ground. Jonathan getting all frantic and brave jumps to my side and slays the monster. Big bursts of light come out of the monsters mouth, then I look up and see it's a dragon. my eyes grow 10 times bigger than normal and I scream loudly as I hear Jonathan's leg crack. Jonathan glares at me in his pain as I screamed for him, I stand there frozen and scared of what might happen. I stand in the corner crying and shaking as Jonathan kills the dragon. Finally the dragon has passed on. Jonathan runs to me holds me in his arms and looks me over from head to toe.
"Pumpkin what were you doing?"
Jonathan asked me.
" I dunno I just heard this noise and then the monster dragon found me and tried to kill me!"
" Pumpkin it's alright I've got you your safe come here in my strong arms. I'm here to save you."
I hold on tight as Jonathan holds me close kissing the top of my head.
He holds me at arm's length and points to the window, I look and sure enough the window is open.....

My mouth drops open as I see the sight before me. Naomi must have escaped or something, I start to panick what might have happened to Naomi.
Jonathan looks at me and says
"Everything will be ok I will find your friend Naomi."
"Thx Jon your the best, I best be getting my sleep now. Thanks again for taking care of me. And saving me from that dragon."
" Your welcome anytime."
I watch him leave my Chambers and sigh with joy. I slide back in bed with a smile, I giggle like a school girl. I lay there looking up at the ceiling trying to figure out shapes to make a story on the ceiling. I think about the forest the trees, the lush green fields, the blue Skies, the butterflies and ladybugs that come out to play. I think about ballet and dancing the Nutcracker as Claira. I get cozy under the covers as I daydream some more. The last thing I think about before I doze off is Jonathan. His sweet act of kindness and love and bravery. Then I think I hope it'll be not just a dream that Jonathan would be mine one day soon.
I close my eyes as I curl in s ball. I start to dream about my barefooted Prince.
