Uri's grasp on me tightened as we sped up. My wrist strated to hurt as we just kept on running, it seemed to never end. My feet started to trip up until we finally had stopped.

Uri practically threw me at a bench as he started to go on about , 'I thought I would never see you again' and 'what a coincidence' I stared in a daze, my mind still foggy from earlier. Uri seemed to realize as my eyes started to shut.

"You okay, after all you were nearly killed earlier," worry was evident on his face.

"I'm fine just dizzy,"

I started to lean into him as there was barely any support on the bench. My eyes started to droop as the minutes passed. Soon they grew too heavy for my to keep open.

'So warm...' I tried to open my eyes however it was too bright so they quickly closed in an effort to block out the blinding light. There were muffles around me, "So yeah, his head is hard as hell... Hard heads finally starting to wake-"

My body shot up, "Who are you calling hard head metal head." I glared at the culprit, who to no one's surprise was Evelyn.

She gave me a pitying gaze, "So you finally decided to wake up, it's already 6 p.m,"

My eyes started to glimmer as I realized she was truly worried, 'So we are friends-' "I should be heading home."

"Nope, you and Uri are both staying it's too late for you to walk back,"

"If you wanted me to stay because you missed me you should've just said it," I started on being overly dramatic.

"Oh and why would you think that," she started in a solemn voice that soon changed to the same dramatic tune as mine, "Of course I missed you, it was planned this entire time."

We were just leaning on each other giggling as Uri just stood there. We made our way back into the castle avoiding everyone else. The now slightly familiar door that lead to Evelyn's room was now in view.

"Evelyn what are you doing-" a man that looked just like Evelyn spoke aloud and stopped with a confused expression.

"Just some of my friends, Lucille and Uri" He seemed to panic at the mention of my name.

"I must be going now, see you" He rushed with nervousness lacing his voice.

The moon had shown through the large doors leading to a balcony. Both Uri and Evelyn had fallen asleep. I couldn't shake the unsettling feeling of the house no matter what we did for how long.

I tip-toed as I made my way to the door leading to the hallway. I made my way to a slightly larger balcony that looked over the entire garden, 'Wait isn't Uri a knight shouldn't he have been on duty, that means that prince from the night before must be here. There's something about him that feels off-' There was someone opening the door I had just been through a few minutes prior.

"I see you are awake too I'm glad I wanted to have a talk with you," the same man we ran into earlier spoke there was hatred and venom in his words. I believe his name was Dolion even though it had only been mentioned briefly in the book, he had never played a major role in the story.

He took my hand quickly, "Hey what are you-" I started

"I have to confirm my suspicions especially if you are who you say you are."

'Why do I keep getting cut off today?' I visibly sighed as we made our way through the long erie hallway. Sleep was starting to hit me probably because of everything I've been putting up with.

The doors we went through slammed rather loudly having me wade awake once again. I looked around paintings surrounded me, they were the same as the ones from the book of The History of the Rosetta's. I looked shocked 'He had figured it out this easy-'

Dolion proceeded to go to the back and pull out a hand held telescope. "Mind sitting there for me," his voice was smooth as he spoke.

He was pointing at a chair in the middle of the room. It was an odd request, but what was normal about this night anyways. Dolion looked at me and then put the telescope to his face. He smiled slowly coming towards me putting the telescope down in the process.

I felt my hair being put behind my ear, he whispered in a hush voice, "Such a shame and you were so beautiful." He crawled on top of me slowly reaching behind him.

The chair came down in a sudden jolt, I saw something shine as Dolion's hand moved behind him, 'It's a switch blade!' I was surprised as I was pinned down the blade to my neck at the sudden movements.

"Scream or do anything to resist and this blade won't be only near your throat but in it," His voice was harsh as he spoke.

My breath hitched, the moon still shown through the window even though unlike the minutes prior where it was peaceful, but now it gave suspense and felt erie.

"Such beauty gone to waste," he gave a pitied look directed towards me. My breath hitched in my mouth as he dragged the blade across my neck slowly. I felt the warm blood strat to fall to the sides of my neck.

The door to the library slammed open as long blonde hair followed. "Dolion what in the hell do you think you're doing."

He froze and got up leaving without a single word. I sat there stunned, tears pooling in my eyes as I let the past events sink in. Evelyn then rushed over after watching Dolion leave.

"Let's get back and go to sleep for now," I nodded knowing that if I spoke I would start to cry. She looked at me with worry on her face.

She grabbed my shaky hand gently holding in in her fingers as she slowly lead me through the hallway. We were at the stairs when she started to speak again, "I'm sorry about what just happened, I should've known he would do something." Evelyn clenched her teeth. I wanted to say something but my voice wouldn't let me, I started to tear up again as she pulled me into a hug holding my head.

We stood there for a few minutes with me crying into her shoulder. I started to calm down my breathing as we made our way back to her room again. We patched up my wounds but no words were shared and then we fell back to sleep exhausted from the long day we both had.

I was finally back home, once we all had woken up Uri had duty and left. Evelyn and I ate breakfast in her room and talked for a little bit. She had gotten a carriage for me to leave and go back home because of the long walk.

I took off my shoes and climbed the stairs to my room. I folded the clothes that I had worn the previous day now that they were all dry.

As I walked around I saw a small head of blonde hair like mine, "Elysia what are you doing here?" She looked at me with wide ruby eyes.

"Would you wanna go out to the flower field with me and have a picnic?"

"Of course, I would love too" I smiled 'How could've anyone executed her in the original story she's so precious.'

I choose a lighter shirt because it's a warmer day, along with dress shorts. "You head down and start preparing while I change, okay?"

"Okay," There wad excitement in Elysia's voice as she responded.

After a few minutes I was done changing I made my way down the stairs. I saw Elysia and then dad in the kitchen making sandwiches.

"Look who's here now Elysia,"

"Luci! We're almost done and then we can go." She jumped up and down in pure joy as dad finished packing up the basket.

"Now stay safe you two," Dad started as he handed me the basket and kisses the both of us on the foreheads.

We went through the back door and through the woods until we were met with a bunch of flowers lining the ground. Elysia jumped around as I found a good place for us to sit.

Elysia's short dress flowed in the wind as she ran back while I was setting up. "Oh, you probably don't know yet but the sandwiches are egg sandwiches and you know what they are to me?"

"Let me guess... Our favorite type of sandwich." Elysia got more excited if possible that I guessed correctly. In my old world I hated egg sandwiches however now that my taste buds are different I absolutely love them.

I was finally done setting up, "What a coincidence seeing you."

I turned to look at the owner of the voice that had spoken, "Orion?"

"You know it, now this little lady right here wouldn't happen to be your younger sister?"

"You know Luci?" Elysia gasped.

"Yep, I'm one of his close friends really close," He looked at me as I felt my fave heat up.

"How about- how about you join us for lunch?" I started to rapidly wave my hands in different motions.

"Now how can I refuse an invitation from someone as beautiful as yourself,"

My face heats up as Elysia looks confused at me. We then got the sandwiches out along with some lemonade and cream puffs.

"Hope you like egg sandwiches,"

"Oh, I absolutely love them" Orion stated as Elysia looked shocked.

"You do?" Elysia practically screamed.

"Yep,"

"You are amazing can you be my new best friend that isn't family!" Elysia started to rant about how amazing egg sandwiches are. I giggled at her antics.

As I continued to giggle I noticed a sketchpad in Orion's lap. On it was Elysia with her sun hat as she ran around. There was a big gummy smile on her face in the drawing just like the one in real life infront of us.

I felt something placed on my head, Orion's too. "I gave you both flower crowns," Elysia jumped up and down.

"Why thank you," Orion said in a British accent.

"The pleasure is all mine," She did in an even thicker accent.

"I should say thank you too," I tried to sound British but failed miserably. Elysia patted my back.

"It's okay, even though it is one of the simplist things on this planet."

I gave a spiteful glare, Orion was on the ground laughing. "I'm sorry it's just- I," he looked like he was about to pass out at any moment from loss of air.

I then took a delicious fluffy cream puff and ate it because of this nonsense.

Recipe

Ingredients:

2 packages instant vanilla pudding mix

2 cups heavy cream

1 cup milk

½ cup butter

1 cup water

¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup all-purpose flour

4 eggs

Step 1- Mix together vanilla instant pudding mix, cream and milk. Cover and refrigerate to set.

Step 2-Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 3-In a large pot, bring water and butter to a rolling boil. Stir in flour and salt until the mixture forms a ball. Transfer the dough to a large mixing bowl. Using a wooden spoon or stand mixer, beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet.

Step 4-Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Centers should be dry.

Step 5-When the shells are cool, either split and fill them with the pudding mixture, or use a pastry bag to pipe the pudding into the shells.

The sun had started to set as we packed up. We said our byes to Orion as we made our way back to the house.

"Luci are we there yet?" Elysia started to mumble as she rode on my back.

"Almost come on we can make it," I smiled. 'I'm so glad Elysia invited me, after what's happened in the past two days she's calmed down my nerves,' We finally made it, Elysia had fallen asleep.

After tucking her in I laid on my bed. It's been so tiring the past few days. My head sunk into my pillow not even having to spare a second glance till I was out. I wish things could stay peaceful like this...
