Isabella giggled as she climbed out of the window using a rope which was a bit difficult wearing a ballgown. She wondered how Max liked her little surprise she did feel bad about pranking him but she could already hear him and Olivia talking. 'Wait why is he with Olivia' she thought involuntarily. Then her feet touched the ground and she brushed the thought from her mind. It was time for her escape.

As Isabella walked through the gardens she thought about how she would actually leave the castle. Clearly, she hadn't thought this plan out properly. She then saw the carriages dropping their masters off at the palace doors. Looks like she found her ticket out of the palace.

As one of the carriages turned around Isabella ran up to it grabbed the handle of the door opened it slightly and slipped inside.' Looks like my secret nighttime training in the guards gym worked out' she thought.

The carriage drove on for a long time before it came to a stop at the palace gates. 'Oh no, oh no, oh no' Isabella thought when she heard voices outside.

"Can I please search your carriage" she heard a man ask and peaked out the carriage window to see a guard talking to the carriage driver.

"For what reason?" the driver asked angrily.

"The queen has told us that the princess was not in her room and that she might try and leave the palace," the guard said.

"Well I can assure you that I am not carrying any runaway princess's with me on my carriage," the driver said.

"Well then it won't be much of a problem if I search hour carriage," the guard said and Isabella saw the door handle turn.

Isabella quickly lied down flat on the floor and rolled under the couch thingy that she had previously been sitting on. She then brought her knees up to her chest and watched as the man stepped into the carriage.

Then she saw the man starting to bend down like he was going to look under the couch where she was lying.' I'm gonna go back to the palace and I haven't even left yet' Isabella thought dejectedly but then...

"Julius, could you come back here? The Queen has sent another message" a ladies came.

The guard quickly stood up "OK coming" he said exiting the carriage and closing the door softly behind him.

Isabella sighed in relief 'That was close' she thought ' too close' for a long time Isabella stayed hidden under the couch. And finally, when she thought they were far enough from the castle did she come out.

Isabella slowly opened the door so that it was just big enough for her to fit through. she then waited till they came to a tree and silently slipped out and jumped behind the tree.

She then heard the carriage door crash to the side and saw the carriage coming to an abrupt halt. The driver then got off to close the door while muttering some pretty rude words. He then got back onto his seat and carried on driving away.

Looking around to make sure no one was around Isabella came out from behind the tree and turned to face the other direction.

"W-wowww," Isabella said her eyes wide at the beauty in front of her. They're just more than a few metres away was the was the glittering turquoise blue ocean with its pearly white sand layer out before it.
