Royal Rules

Chapter 5 - Sometimes

"What?!" Someone has been knocking on my door for the hundredth time already. At first, I just thought it was something outside that made a bump but now it doesn't sound like any kind of bump at all.

I opened the door and he appeared.

"What do you want John?" He keeps on bugging me like this. Someday, I am going to lose my mind and go mental.

"Let's go do something fun" He said. I know just what he refers to the word 'fun' and I do not like it one bit. Well, maybe a little but that's it.

"Nope" I started to close my door but he put his foot there as a block.

"Please... I WILL tell mom and dad bout what you did." I swear this kid lives off of blackmails.

"And what was it that I did?"  I said testing him. He tricked me too many times before by saying this and he didn't even know anything.

"Well, I have noticed a male guest here in our castle who is sporting a bruise. And I seemed to have confirmed that you have been behind it by asking a certain witness." He stated and I knew who he was talking about.

I looked at him with the best confused face that I could do just so that he'll leave me alone.

"Oh for Pete's sake, I know you did it Lori so you can stop having that look on your face. You're the only one who would be stupid and wild enough to do that to him."

There was no getting out of this.

"Who's Pete?"

his face deadpanned

"Fine. Straight to the point explanation. Now." I was getting impatient.

"Do you want to prank someone?" He asked as if it was okay for him to actually do it.

"Do I have a choice?"

"Good. You know what you're dealing with. Let's prank someone."

"And who might that 'someone' be?" I asked but he just shrugged and said he didn't know.

So basically, all I know is that we are going to prank someone who we don't even know yet. So I'm just guessing he's going to prank someone he lays his eyes on first.

Minutes later, we were in the kitchen mashing blue cheese and getting a big water balloon to put the stinky thing in. I don't know why, but he put a little bit of water in. Disgusting.

We were waiting at the top of the hall when we heard footsteps underneath. We waited for it and....

Splat!

I couldn't move. I was still in shock of what I've done when I heard a male voice cussing underneath. What have I done? The scene just kept on playing out and I didn't snap out of it until John practically dragged me until I could start moving my legs and run.

We ran once we dropped the blue cheese. I swear I'm not going to make it to 20. We reached a room and locked it not even caring on the fact that we don't know whose room it is.

"That was amazing!!" Said my rotheaded brother.

"What did you make me do? Do you know we could get in trouble for that?" Realizing what I've done. I'm supposed to act graceful and elegant. I started to freak out when I considered who it might've been. I could have been father, or the chief of the guards, or a baron. Putting the obvious out there. But then knowing that it was just blue cheese, I decided to just calm down cause I'm pretty sure for a moment there, I looked like a seal gasping for air.

"No. You'll get in trouble for it." Just like that, I was stupefied.

Well, that was it. I'm dead.
Might as well kill myself on the execution stand.
