Hide and Seek

"Three, Two, One, READY OR NOT HERE I COME!" ten year old William Eugene Fitzherbert yelled whipping around as he began his search for his five year old sister, Annabelle Elizabeth Fitzherbert. This was their third round of Hide and Seek and his sister had gotten very good at hiding which made it more challenging for him. With a quick glance around the room, he concluded that she was not in there but he checked just to make sure. Rushing out of the room, he began to think of where she would go. Mentally he started checking off the places that she or he could not go, such as the armory, the Guard's Rooms, or the dungeons. She also wasn't allowed outside without an adult with her so that was crossed off. That left the Study, Library, the kitchen, the rooms used for lessons, their rooms or their parent's room. Realizing that he had a long search ahead of him he sighed and began running in the direction of the Study.

In front of the large door that led to the study he knocked and received a "Come in" from his grandfather. He pushed open the large door with some difficulty and when his grandfather saw who it was, he came to help him.

"Thank you Grandpa," he said glancing around the room "Hey Grandpa? Have you seen Annie?"

His Grandfather laughed. "Playing another round of hide and seek are you?" he asked sitting back down in his chair.

"Yes Sir," Will said smiling and walking around the desk and crouching to see if his sister was hiding in the area where you put your legs. Seeing that she wasn't there he stood up and ruffled his brown hair, clearly thinking. His Grandfather noticed how the boy's brow furrowed like his mother's did whenever she was thinking.

He chuckled to himself before answering, "Nope, haven't seen her… But if I were you, I would check the kitchen. She loves to be in there to watch the cooks prepare the meals, plus they always give her food."

"Ok Thank you Grandpa!" Will said as he ran out of the office leaving a smiling Grandfather in his wake. Will ran as fast as he could towards the kitchen. He was rounding a corner when he ran into something soft. Immediately he and the person that he ran into topped over.

"Will, why are you running so fast? Is something chasing you?" the person asked and he looked up, his green eyes peering into the face of his smiling father, Eugene Fitzherbert.

"No Sir, I'm trying to find Annie, we're playing hide and seek," he said getting off of his father and standing up. His father followed the suite and ruffled his son's hair. "Dad!" he ducked and got out of reach of his dad's hand.

Eugene laughed before answering, "Come on lets go find her. She has to be around here somewhere. Where have you tried looking?" Will jerked his thumb behind him.

"Well I checked the room that we were in, and in Grandpa's study. That's all I got to before I ran into you… Literary!" Will said," I was going to check the Kitchen because that was where Grandpa said to look next.

"Ok let's go look there!" Eugene said and they began running towards the kitchen. After nearly trampling many of the maids and their butler Gerard, they finally made it to the kitchen. After opening the door, Will and Eugene poked their heads in. Each one of the chefs busy preparing lunch as the head chef named Ferdinand (Nicknamed Ferdi by Eugene) was preparing a strawberry cake.

"Annie!" Will called as he and Eugene walked into the kitchen.

"Princess Annabelle came in here, said something about grabbing a frying pan and took off. She said that she was hiding from Prince Will, that you guys were playing hide and seek. Oh! Good Morning Your highness!" Chef Ferdinand said not taking his eyes off of the decoration.

Will looked on with fascination before asking," Did she say where she was going?" his green eyes looking hopeful. The chef shook his head.

"Unfortunately no, but she did turn right just as she got out of the door, but other than that no," the chef replied turning back to the decoration. Eugene and Will both speed out of the room, shouting thanks to the chefs. They sped towards the room that he and Annie used for lesions with their teachers. She wasn't there. From there they looked in the Throne room, she wasn't there. Worry etched itself onto Will's face as the father son duo sped off towards the King and Queen's room. They found Queen Elizabeth, Will's Grandmother, but not Annabelle.

"I'm sorry, but I haven't seen her," Queen Elizabeth said. Now worry was beginning to etch itself onto Eugene's face.

"Ok, so she's got to be here somewhere," Will heard his father mumble as they rushed from the room trying to think of the places that they hadn't gone yet.

Fortunately, there was only one room left that Annie could go to without getting in trouble and it was the Library. Unfortunately, if she wasn't there they would have to call for more help, because it would mean that she was missing. Together the father son duo burst through the door, scaring the person inside.

"Eugene, Will, you scared me!" Will's mother Rapunzel said one hand over her pounding heart. She was stretched out over the love seat with one book in her hand. Pascal was sitting on his mother's shoulder, his eyes wide from fright and his tail curled up behind him.

"Sorry Mom, but we were looking for Annie. She's gotten really good at hide and seek," Will explained to her, walking over to her. Rapunzel smiled and pointed towards one of the bookshelves. Will eagerly ran over to the shelf and found his sister hunched in a corner with the frying pan. He breathed a sigh of relief and he heard his father do the same. Annabelle looked up and Will shook his head.

"Wow, you got good at this," Will murmured running a hand through his hair. Annie smiled and held out her hand to him, which he grasped and pulled her up. Together they walked back towards their parents, Annabelle dragging the pan with her. When they returned Will saw that his father was smiling at the book that his mother was holding.

"What is it dad?" he asked standing next to his mother while Annabelle climbed up to sit next to her mother. Will instantly recognized the page that his mother was on and he smiled at her. "You're reading The Adventures of Flynnigan Rider!" he exclaimed excitedly. Naturally when he was a younger, his father had told him stories all about the famous man and his crazy adventures. Rapunzel nodded and Will asked, "Can I read it aloud?" again his mother nodded and motioned to the open spot next to her, which he eagerly sat down in. With confidence he began to read to his family while his father stood behind them smiling at him.

Sometime later, the King William and Queen Elizabeth began wondering where the family had gone. Together they searched and searched until finally they opened the doors to the library. On the couch the four of them and Pascal peacefully slept. The Tales of Flynnigan Rider had fallen out of Will's hands and was now lying flat on the floor. Being careful not to disturb them, William and Elizabeth shut the door and smiled at each other before heading towards the kitchen for lunch.
