Runaway Princess

The Family

Chapter 3: The Family

-Alexandria's POV:

"Miss Alexandria, Prince Timothy's family will be here in an hour." Martha's voice sounds from on the other side of the door.

"Prince... Timothy's... family?" I add, sleepily. "Oh!"

I get up quickly, and let Martha in. She helps me get ready. I have on a pink top, over my corset, and a long flowing green skirt. My hair is braided to the side, and I have a fancy straw hat. Then I make my way to the dining area.

"Oh, that was quick, Alex." mother says, when she sees me.

"I heard that we have guest arriving." I smile.

"Yes, we do." father adds, from the table, as he reads the newspaper.

I sit down across from father, and mom sits next to him.

"How many of them?" I ask.

"Four." mother answers my question.

"Good morning," Timothy comes into the room.

"Good morning," mother and I say, in sync.

"Mother, where's Andrea?" I ask mother.

"She should be here soon." mother replies.

"Andrea?" Timothy asks me.

"Oh, my apologies, Andrea is my younger sister." I inform him.

"Oh, alright." he says, right as my sister enters the room.

Andrea looks a lot like me, but we have different features. Like my hair is a darker shade, and her eyes are a darker shade. Then her skin is tan, while mine isn't, and she's two years younger than me.

"Morning, momma, papa." she kisses them on the cheek, and sits next to me.

"Did you have a nice rest, darling?" father asks her.

"Why, yes." Andrea smiles at me.

Andrea always had that best friend relationship.

"You must be Prince Timothy. It's nice to meet you." Andrea smiles at Timothy.

"It's nice to meet you," he nods.

"Alexandria, Andrea. This is King Lucas, Queen Savannah, and the princesses Anna and Caroline." father introduces us to Timothy's family.

"Greetings," Andrea and I curtsy.

"Such a beautiful place you have," Savannah smiles, as she looks around.

"I agree. I am a little jealous." Caroline giggles.

"Andrea and I would love to show you two around," I smile.

"Oh, would you mind?" Anna smiles, brightly.

"Not at all, come along." I motion for them to follow, and we tour the castle.

"The sisters are so annoying," I complain to Andrew.

"That's what sisters are for," Andrew chuckles.

"I know, but these girls are majorly annoying." I roll my eyes.

"Princess!" Andrew gasps, "that is not ladylike."

"I don't care," I laugh.

"I don't either," Andrew smiles, and then we kiss.

-Timothy's POV:

I was just walking around, minding my own business, until I hear Alexandria's voice. I go towards her voice, and see her kissing another man. My eyes widen in shock, and I back away. Then I quickly make my way back to the castle.

-Andrew's POV:

I watch, from the corner of my eye, as the prince runs away, and then I pull back from the kiss.

"You might wanna get back to the castle, it's getting late." I sigh, pretending to be disappointed.

"Alright, see you later." she gets up, and makes her way back to the castle.

-Alex's POV:

I just realized it. He's using me. I pretend to head back the castle, but I hide behind a tree, and I watch as a girl walks towards Andrew. She has long pretty blonde hair and pretty blue eyes. Then I see them kiss. So I run back home, and collapse on my bed, crying. Then I let myself slip into the darkness.
