Bloody Death

June 3rd

Grace screamed herself to sleep because she was full of anger. She stomped around, punched her pillow, and cried. She buried her face into it and began to fall asleep.

Michael went up to his room outraged and puzzled. He didn't know what came over her to act so vile towards him. 'Shall I allow her to get away with that?' thought Michael.. He walked around and pondered if he should because she did say that she would not do everything for him. But yet, he still chose her. Now he wonders why he chose her to be his servant and not one of the other girls.

Michael: Such bigotry! What insolence! She mustn't get away with this without a fair warning.

Michael went around the palace looking for Grace but stopped at the foot of Janet's door. He thought about talking to her but then again, why would he want to? What would he say?

Janet: Michael, just come in already!

Michael's eyes widened and he looked down while shaking his head as he lightly chuckled. Michael came in and sat down onto her bed. Janet turned around and put her hands on her hips.

Janet: What do want Applehead?

Michael: Dunk.. Grace has been.. Very moody lately.

Michael said as he sighed between pauses.

Janet: And your point is?

Michael: I don't want Princess Lisa to see the way she acts and not marry me.

Janet: What? You already love someone?

Michael nodded as he smiled boyishly.

Janet: Get out of here! You? Michael Jackson? In love? What's next, you wanting her to take over the whole kingdom? Or wanting children?

Michael: Wait a minute J. I never said anything about all that now.. Never will I ever.

Janet: Alright.. But um.. What did you want again?

Michael: It's Grace.. I don't Lisa to see her attitude towards me and not marry me.. Why has she changed so?

Janet: I must not tell you. I am sworn to keep such secrets from you.

Michael: Then tell me what I should do.

Janet: I do not know Michael..

Michael: Oh come on J.. You always know what to do.

Janet: I do know what to do, but it's not for me to tell you.. It would take away from what I must keep and the outcomes are dire.

Michael: Give me a hint then.

Janet stood up and went to her window, thinking of what she should say..

Janet: Observe, act and commit.

Michael: What?

Janet: Observe her, act on her actions and commit to your decision.

Michael: What decision? What actions? Dunk, you are not speaking as I may understand!

Janet: You will in due time.. Hopefully, you will choose wisely.

Michael sighed and nodded. He got up and stood in her doorway for a second.

Michael: Thanks Dunk.

Janet nodded and then he left.. Michael went into the kitchen and sat down pondering everything.

Michael: Why does she change now after all these years? Why now?

Lucy: That is a question with only one true answer, my prince.
