Forest

I knew that a person had caused my black out so when I awoken I didn't open my eyes. I didn't really want to know, it reminded me of my dreams but this time I heard a familiar voice "Hello princess" he said, it wasn't Gastons voice but... Simons.

I opened my eyes and there he was, smiling down on me "Didn't mean to give you a freight princess, what happened was I saw you walking through the forest and tapped you on the shoulder. You got so scared you fainted! Probably a side effect to being stressed 24/7." I blinked, had I really been so stressed where a little jump would cause me to faint?

I needed a break, pronto. I saw Opal perched on a brach by us, I smiled up at her and said "Why, hello Opal. Don't you know it's rude to eavesdrop?" I asked jokingly. Simon laughed and Opal just stared at me. It felt like Opal was glaring at me, or was I going insane? Probably going insane.

Simon started talking and I got involved in the conversation, we sat together talking for about one hour but then I realized that I needed to get back to the castle.

"I need to get going, surprised that my father hasn't sent out a search party yet." I said.

Simon smiled "Oh. He already has." wait what?

I stood up immediately "Ugh. I don't have time for this! Tomorrow I have to go to court. I'll write you later!" I stormed off. Not mad at him, but at myself. Oh father would give me a ear full when I got back.
