Bad Royals

*tssk tssk*

What was that? Bella wondered to herself.

*shush*

Again some weird noise was heard, and she started getting anxious.

After her little burst out with Dylan, she stayed in her room trying to fall asleep but couldn't, and now it was after midnight. The whole palace was sleeping except for her. But those weird noises got her attention, and she couldn't just stay in bed in that bad mood of hers. She couldn't just ignore it, so her curiosity got the best of her. She wore her home shoes then got out of her room sneakily to the dark corridor; following the noise; she didn't notice that she wasn't alone.

A large figure that was hiding in the shadows beside her bedroom; found her sneaking out and decided to follow her. He actually wasn't being a creep or anything, just hiding in the dark behind some furniture waiting for her.

No, actually, after her burst out back there while they were watching a movie, he couldn't help but worry about her. He had to make sure she is ok, even though he sends her a message, but he still couldn't help but worry and wanted to keep her company somehow. So, he has been standing there hiding in the dark since then, trying to gather the courage to knock on her door and try to lift her mood. Unfortunately, he was a pussy and stayed there till it was sleep time for everyone. He actually was going to head back to his room since it was already midnight, but luckily, the girl who has been occupying his mind got out of her room, so he followed her.

Bella just kept following the noise till it led her to a balcony. Behind the balcony's closed doors were very low noises like someone was talking or kissing; she couldn't really put her finger on it. Whatever it was, it was creepy, and she had to investigate it; it was just in her nature. But what was worrying her the most that she doesn't have anything to defend herself with if those were criminals or something. However, there was no turning back now, so she has to suck it up independently.

Still, she didn't notice that she wasn't alone; Archer was right behind her, hiding and following her, and that she has nothing to worry about. After all, she had back up.

Bella pushed the closed doors slowly, and whoever was in there shut immediately and froze in whatever they were doing.

As soon as Bella pushed open the balcony doors, she was greeted with some old stuff like furniture or something similar. It was the storage-balcony! But Bella didn't know about it, and Archer has already forgotten about its existence. He was actually surprised as to why Bella came here in the first place, and when he watched her closely, he found her looking or searching for something, so he couldn't help but approach her.

"What are you doing here?" Archer whispered from behind Bella as she looked behind a broken wardrobe, resulting in her jump from the surprise.

She thought she was all alone in that dark, quiet room, so hearing a voice so sudden startled her. "What the fuck!" She hissed, turning around to find Archer. "Why would you startle me like that, for fucks sake, Archer?"

"Sorry.." He shrugged sheepishly. "What are you doing here anyway?"

"I heard some noises, so came to check it," Bella replied, but the real question was, what is he doing here? "What about you?"

He wasn't expecting that question, Or was he? It doesn't matter because he certainly wasn't preparing an answer and he couldn't possibly tell her that he was hiding and watching her from beside her bedroom, she will think he is a creep... which he is by now, to be honest. "I... I was just taking a night walk and saw you... Uhm, so I followed you out of curiosity." That's a good excuse, right? She would believe it. You are a damn smooth liar, Arch! Archer cheered to himself silently.
