“Elle! Psst, Elle,” Sarah called from within my closet.

Smiling I jumped off my bed and made sure my door was locked before hurrying towards Sarah. Ever since she had found out I was the Princess a few days ago, she had been constantly pestering me to come back to the castle. So me being boring old impatient me had finally told her how the secret tunnel worked, and Sarah being Sarah, spent more time here than in the kitchen eating her emotions away.

“Hey, Sarah” I responded opening my wardrobes door.

My gorgeous brunette friend jumped out of her hiding spot and hugged me tightly.

“Guess what? You’re gonna flip out!” Sarah shrieked jumping up and down while still hugging me.

“Huh?”

“That guy we visited at the hospital, what’s his name again?” Sarah asked as she pulled back to look at me.

“Walter?” I asked as my eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

“He’s out of his flipping coma!” Sarah blurted dropping the biggest bombshell of my life.

My mouth dropped open as I stared at her in shock. “Like, as in he’s ok?” I asked making sure I didn’t hear anything wrong.

She nodded happily, “I’ve kind of been seeing that really cute guy that was keeping guard near the door, anyway I tied him some lie that I transferred and don’t work there anymore, and I asked him about Walter last night. He woke up and his been moved up to get a transplant. He’s going to be ok!”

Tears prickled in my eyes as my mind repeated her words, he was going to be ok. He was going to be ok. I felt relieved, I didn’t have to feel guilty that he was in that potion because of me, he would be ok. But why did I feel so empty?

“What’s wrong?” Sarah asked just as a tear drop slid down my cheek.

I looked away from her chocolate brown eyes that filled with concern, even though they were a completely different colour from Walters hazel and gold eyes, they were filled with the same emotion for the same person… I was sick of it.

“Lets go,” I said grabbing her forearm and dragging her through the entrance and out of the castle, putting my wig on the way out. “I need to see him.”

“Not like that!” Sarah stated coming to a halt as she looked down at my knee length rainbow socks, gym shorts and white wifebeater, “you look like a poor person, you’re not even wearing shoes for Pete’s sake.”

“Who the hecks pete?”

“I’m not using the lords name in vain.” Sarah replied immediately.

I raised my hands in defense at my atheist friend who was now -apparently- religious.

“Go put shoes on you weirdo. Then we can go see him.”

With a sigh I obeyed my friend and went back into my secret room, grabbing a pair of red high tops with black laces and putting them on.

Sarah rolled her eyes as soon as I emerged into the old watch tower.

“You’re not going to change?”
