Chapter Sixteen

I run around the castle grounds searching for everyone until I finally found all of them eating breakfast with the castle guards. Their backs were turned away from me as I approached the guards noticed me first they stiffened and quickly stood up.

" Your Highness," They somehow said in unison as they bowed towards me. Everyone stopped eating/ talking and looked behind them as they saw who it was there were mixed looks from the three of them. Noah's face lit up, Zero was expressionless as ever and Alex, she looked like her food might come back up.

" We haven't seen you for so long!" Noah said excitedly. " What are you waiting for get over here!"

I quickly walk over to them and sit down next to Zero.

" Is there a reason why you're here?" Alex spoke up. I look over Noah's shoulder to get a look at her. She knows I'm looking at her and she smirks then takes a drink of whatever she had in her cup.

" Well?" She asks.

" Umm, it's a long story," I answered.

" Oh, so you didn't miss us then?"

" Yes, I mean no-"

" Which is it?"

" I gotta go," I said as I stood up.

" Leaving so soon?" She asked. I ignored her and walked away, as I did I mumbled,

" God, I hate her,"

I heard her voice yelling across the yard, " I heard that!"

A shiver went down my spine, " How could she hear that?!"

" Canine hearing, you idiot!"

" I need to go before she listens to everything I say,"

As I ran away from there I heard her laughing, it filled the air, a crazy high pitched laugh. Somehow I made it back to my room, I throw myself onto my bed and close my eyes and think.
