RUNNING AWAY

There's no use crying over a spilled milk. Isabel said to herself, all that is left now is to find a way out.

"Run away?", she asked herself in a slightly unsure tone. Making up her mind, she got up from her sitting position.

She felt that the journey from her Father's house to the castle wasn't that long,although she didn't know when and how she fell asleep,She felt that it would be easy to locate her home.

First, she has to get out of the castle without being caught.

She strolled towards the door,turning the door knob ever so slowly,She slightly opened it,wanting to peek.

Her posture at the time was like a rabbit peeking through it's hole.

There was nobody in the hallway, "Great".

She got out of the room,and started moving stealthily while being cautious of her surrounding.

She could see a corner just a few feet away, she felt her heart beating faster than normal as she got there, she glued her back against the wall while taking a deep breath,then she peeked to see if there was no one there, When she saw that it was empty,she moved while squatting low,she didn't know why she felt so scared at that moment. she quickened her pace, Oblivious of one keen eyes looking at her.

Derrek was quite surprised at what he was seeing,he had just finished sorting out something's with the king and had hastily left to check on his wife.

he hadn't expected to see her right in the hallway,moving stealthily like a cat. he was quite amused at how she was moving,her posture was quite funny.

And in the next moment,he was right in front of her.

Isabel who was still frantically checking her surroundings didn't realize that there was someone right in front of her. she moved her leg again, Only to bump her forehead into something, the collision made her to fall butt first to the ground.

She yelped both in surprise and in pain.

Pouting her lips sullenly, she raised her hand wanting to rub her forehead and butts , but halted, her body became rigid when she saw a pair of leg right in front of her.

Ever so slowly, she started raising her head, and when the person came into full view, her eyes widened in horror, it was the prince!

'When did he get here' She thought there was no one around.

She held her breath when he bent low in front of her.

he stretched out his hand and started rubbing her forehead in circular motion,wanting to ease the pain.

Isabel couldn't help but close her eyes to the feeling of his hand on her forehead,even forgetting the slight pain in her butts.

"What were you doing" Came his deep voice.

and just like a loyal kitten, she confessed

"Running awa..." her eyes flew open instantly and she clamped her mouth with both hands, She had unconsciously exposed herself.

Taken aback by her confession,his hand halted. he looked at her with a questioning eyes.

"Where are you running to?". he retracted his hand and folded them together,waiting for an answer.

She was quite disappointed when he retracted his hand. the thought that immediately shocked her

'Isabel!!' she couldn't believe herself.

'Get your acts together'. she has been acting strangely ever since she got here. she didn't understand herself anymore. she shook her head,taking a deep breath.

And in the next moment,her expression changed,Surprising Derrek, Like a bolt of lightening she stood up while placing her hand on her hips,appearing intimidating,or so she thought.

Derrek also stood up,facing her.

Isabel felt her composure slightly waver,but she balled her fist not wanting to be affected by the prince gaze.

"You are asking me where am running to,Of course to my fathers house!" She hollered at him.

Looking at his furious wife,she looked like a kitten ready to claw his face anytime soon.

He cleared his throat, he couldn't remember the last time he had to face an angry lady.
