CHAPTER 13.

  Jasmine

  The kitchen was where I found Martha after searching her almost entire palace. She was cutting veggies with some other maids.

  "Hey, Martha," I walked towards her. She glanced at me, a smile forming on her lips as she did.

  "Where were you the whole day, Miss Jasmine?" She chuckled and turned back now fully facing me.

  "Umm...I was.." I hesitated, "Forget it, I have something to tell you."

  "What?" She questioned.

  "I-I...Um, yesterday...I-I..."Like a moron, I was, my stammering was the only thing that came out of my mouth, well of course the few words didn't make any sense.

  "Do you have a fever, sweetheart?" She came and placed her hand on my forehead, checking my supposedly normal temperature.

  "No, I don't." I quickly spluttered, "It's just that, I need to...to tell you something."

  "What is it? And why do you look nervous?" Concern laced her voice, "Did something happen?"

  "No," I instantly shook my head.
