Author's Note:
Well I have finally gotten around to writing my first story, so please after reading if you have any suggestions I would love to read them. Thanks.
Mikayla POV
It is a quiet and peaceful night here on Kinkow. I'm just finishing up my guard shift before I head back to the castle. There is usually no problems that occur during this time so I just get lost in my thoughts as I tend to do almost every night.
I wonder what he has done with his life? Or if he still thinks about me?
Of course "he" is the one and only Brady Parker. I find myself continuously thinking about him ever since he left a couple of months ago and I miss him so much. I guess the saying goes that "you don't know how important something (or in this case someone) is until it is gone".
A part of me says that I like him but another says I don't. I've just been so confused for so long and Brady leaving definitely did not help.
I think I like him; wait what!? There is no way that I like Brady. Ugh! Here we go again. Why can't I make up my mind!?
I know that he did like me before he left but I wonder if he still does? A part of me hopes so. Don't get me wrong his constant flirting did get on my nerves but I may have liked it just a little and you have to admit some of the things that he came up with were very creative.
My mind flashes back to the time that Boomer and Brady snuck into the royal vault and made duplicate plant versions of themselves:
"Any last words." I said
"Mikayla it's me Brady, don't you know me?" fake Brady commented
"You can machete me but you can never machete our love!" the real Brady flirtatiously said
I silently laughed to myself. Who am I kidding of course I like him but…
Suddenly a cracking sound breaks me from my thoughts. I quickly turn my head in the direction of the noise to see a small animal moving through the jungle. "Thank goodness for that " I think to myself. I look around some more and notice that it has gotten really dark and I can barely see within five feet in front of me. I then realize that I must have not noticed where I was going when I was so deep in thought and must have journeyed into the dark side of the island.
I turn around and start to jog back to the light side of the island when my foot hits something causing me to trip and fall face first onto the ground.
"Ouch!" I say to myself "What was that?"
Because I can't see I start moving my hands along the jungle floor feeling for what my foot hit moments before. At first all I can feel is dirt and leaves until my hand reaches something and I move my hand along the edge of it. It feels to be some kind of box about the size of a shoe box but a little bit smaller. I pick it up and decide that I will continue my investigation when I get back to the castle.
After a couple of more minutes I arrive back at the castle. Before I enter I slowly crack open the door and peek inside to make sure the coast is clear. I don't want anyone to see what I have found because I'm not sure what's inside and it may be something bad. Inside I see Boomer and Boz sitting on each side of the throne arguing about whether bananas or apple pie are better:
"Come on everybody knows that they would rather have apple pie then a stupid banana." Boomer claimed.
"Woah man! Don't you ever call bananas stupid or else!" Boz yelled
"Or else what, you're going to attack me with your noodle arms?" Boomer laughed
"Oh! That's it!" Boz said as he jumped on top of Boomer
"Ahhh! Get off of me!" Boomer yelled
"Not until you take back what you said!"
"Fine you don't have noodle arms!" Boomer said causing Boz to get off of him.
"They're more like twigs" Boomer said smiling. Boz gave him an evil glare and Boomer started running away but Boomer's running looks more like a slow jog so Boz easily caught up ending up in a slap fight.
Yes! The perfect opportunity for me to get by unnoticed and get this box to my room. I quickly head by and start up the stairs to my room. I start to walk down the hallway when I hear a voice. Come on can't I just get to my room without any interruptions.
"Guards, have you seen Mikayla she has been gone for quite a while?" I recognized this voice as my fathers. Oh no he is looking for me, how will I get by without him seeing me? I hide the box behind a plant that was sitting on the ground behind me. I then lean against the wall and try to act casual as my dad walks by.
"There you are baby girl I thought something had happened to you?" he says as he wraps me in a hug
"No daddy I'm fine and you need to stop worrying so much you know I can protect myself, you did teach me everything I know" I said sucking up to him trying to change the subject.
"I did teach you well didn't I, I just don't want anything bad to happen to you." He said
"I know, I know. Well I'm going to go to my room to get some sleep I'm pretty tired." I lied trying to get to my room eager to open that box.
"Ok, sleep well I will see you in the morning." My dad said giving me one last hug.
"Ok, good night daddy."
I wait till he is out of sight before I grab the box from behind the plant. I go to my room as fast as I can to avoid any more interruptions. I get inside and quickly shut my door and lock it. I place the box on my bed and search around it for a handle or something to open it with. I find two golden latches side by side attached to the box. I place one hand on each of the latches and press a button. The latches click open and I put my hands on the side of the box to open it. I take a deep breath before opening the box hoping for whatever is in there to be of some importance.
When I open the box I take a peek inside to see what is in it. "What is this?"
Authors Note:
So what did you think? Took me a lot longer to write then I thought it would. Sorry if its kinda boring it should get more interesting as the story goes on.
