7 goodbye...

Alice sadly lay on the mattress and later fell asleep.

The noise of the opening door woke Alice up as she quickly stood up. Beon took her by the hand and lead her out, into the horse and they took off. It was 11:30pm by the time.

"Why're we running?" She asked.

"The prime ministers visted are suspicious, and I overheard them talk about sending guards all over the kingdom and searching in the places that they know I'll hide you" he explained.

"But where do we go now?" Alice asked but Beon didn't reply.

This is all because of me, she thought, am the reason Prince Beon is suffering like this, all because of me, I just want to go home and let him be, please God.

They later got to the forest as they came down, they sat on a tree root, together, quietly.

"Do you like the stars?" Alice liked looking at the stars.

"I never really did" Beon said also starting.

"Well I always believe, that the stars are my friends, they'll always be with you, unlike people, you can trust them, they won't betray you - They'll always keep you company at night, make you smile and forget your worries." She said smiling. As Beon noe stared at her

"Like you" he said as Alice turned to face him, their eyes locked. "You're like the stars, a friend, keeping companies at night, making one smile and taking away worries." Beon asked as Alice nodded slowly.

Beon brought out the apple that Alice inscribed a rabbit in and gave it to Beon.

"Why're you giving it to me?" She asked.

"It's a gift, for a special friend" he said "and I've another gift "

"What's it?"Alice asked.

"It's a surprise, close your eyes" he insisted as Alice happily did.

Just then, Beon slowly bent his face forward and kissed Alice. Alice didn't open her eyes until the kiss was over.

"Consider it a friendship....gift"he said smiling "goodbyes"

Alice was confused at the goodbye, but understood it was she slowly began disappearing until she was gone into thine air, it was 12:00am.

Beon knew that Alice would good by that time. This was because he asked the sorcerer about Alice's existence in the past and he explained everything.

"She needed to do her homework on you and had to learn a lesson or two, so I gave her the magic coin to bring her here for a day. And am glad she learnt her lesson."He explained as he chuckled.

"So you mean she's going to leave midnight?" He asked as he nodded.

Beon was sad, he certainly was going to miss her. But he had to say goodbye at least.
