*Valerie's POV*

Valerie: A million thoughts in my head
Should I let my heart keep listenin'?
'Cause up till now I've walked the line
Nothing lost but something missing
I can't, decide, what's wrong, what's right
Which way should I go?

If only I knew what my heart was telling me
Don't know what I'm feeling
Is this just a dream? Uh oh
Yeah, if only I could read the signs in front of me
I could find the way to who I'm meant to be uh oh
If only, If only
If only

Every step, every word
With every hour I am falling in
To something new
Something brave
To someone I
I have never been

I can't, decide, what's wrong, what's right
Which way should I go?
If only I knew what my heart was telling me
Don't know what I'm feeling

Is this just a dream? Uh oh
Yeah, if only I could read the signs in front of me
I could find the way to who I'm meant to be uh oh
If only, yeah

Am I crazy? Maybe we could happen, yeah
Will you still be with me
When the magic's all run out?

If only I knew what my heart was telling me
Don't know what I'm feeling
Is this just a dream? Uh oh

If only I could read the signs in front of me
I could find the way to who I'm meant to be, uh oh
If only, yeah
If only, yeah
If only, yeah
If only, if only
If only

I faced the enchanted lake again and couldn't seem to find Zach at the surface at all. I looked at the other side of he enchanted lake but couldn't was to no avail. Oh no. Where is he? He was here a while ago.

"Zach! Zach! Zach" I called out.

Oh no, no, no.

I went into the water without any hesitation to search for Zach.

The cold and chilling water hit my legs and I tried to search for Zach as I walked forward, the depth of the lake drastically changed and I fell forward. I tried moving my hands and legs in the water and continued to gasp for air.

I could feel myself drowning and I could feel all of the energy in me draining away as I kicked my legs in the water.

This is why I didnt want to go for a swim with Zach. I can't swim. Out of nowhere I felt somebody lift me up from the water and to the pavilion.

"Ugh! You scared me!" I said to the soon-to-be-king, Zach.

"You... you can't swim?" He acted surprised.

"No!"

"You live on an island!"

"Yeah, with a barrier around it, remember? Ugh!" I was totally drenched at this point of time.

"And you still tried to save me" He said which sounded more like a question.

"Yeah. And do you thank me? No! All I get is soaking wet!" I crossed my arms.

"And, uh, this fancy rock. It's yours. Make a wish and throw it back in the lake" Zach held up a white glowing rock in front of me but I was too pissed off so I snatched the rock from his hands and threw it into the lake out of pure frustration.

"What-" Zach yelled and got out of the lake.

He shook his head causing all of the water feom his hair to go all over me.

"Ew! Stop!" I exclaimed.

"Uh, Val..." I looked up from my arms and into his eyes.

"I told you that I loved you. What about you? Do you love me?" He maintained the eye contact with me.

"I don't know what love feels like" I shivered from the cold wind blowing at us.

Zach took his jacket and placed it on my shoulders to make me feel warmer.

"Maybe I can teach you" He smiled softly.
