Tedros had dreamed of her again. She was so beautiful. She had raven hair, almond shaped eyes the color of melted chocolate. Her lips a light pink and bow shaped. She was amazing. In his dream they were walking in a beautiful and peaceful field filled with flowers until, out of nowhere, the girl would scream and his dream would end.
Tedros was so frustrated. He loved to see her in his dreams, in fact, he looked forward to it, but at the same time, he always knew how the dreams would end. He was sleeping and yet every morning he awoke still tired. And the worst part is that he had no idea who the girl was. He had never seen her before. But every time he went into the villages of his kingdom, he would look for her. Yet he never saw her and that only frustrated him more.
" Teddy!" he heard Sophie call from down the hall.
" Hey" he sighed as she walked up.
" What's wrong?" she asked
" Nothing, I'm just tired" he grumbled.
" Oh I see. You dreamed about that girl again didn't you?" she said with a slight frown on her face.
She was beginning to worry about him. This dreaming about the girl and getting no sleep thing was starting to become an every night occurrence for him.
" Yep" he said looking down.
" Teddy you have to stop doing this to yourself!" she shouted at him.
" I can't help it. It's like every time I go into the villages, I search for her subconsciously and every night I dream of her!" he shouted back.
" Good lord it sounds like your obsessed with her!" Sophie told him.
" I'm not trying to be!" he said, stress lines appearing on his forehead.
" Why don't you try going to Merlin? I'm sure he could help you." she said after calming down.
" He's tried. But no matter what he does the dreams just don't stop." he told her.
" Wow, I thought that Merlin could fix anything" she said.
" Yeah, but he said something about not being able to stop true love." Tedros told her.
" Huh, weird" Sophie said as they walked down the long corridor, both deep in thought.
"Wait, true love" Sophie asked stopping in the middle of the walkway.
" Yeah, I guess. I mean, I'm not entirely sure that's what he said, but that's what it sounded like"
Sophie squealed with excitement. True love! It was just so exciting!
"Oh no. No, stop while your ahead Soph" He said giving her a knowing look.
"What" she asked innocently.
"Don't try that. You know exactly what I am referring to"
" My, my, I am positively sure that I have absolutely no idea to what you are talking about" This time she added her best puppy dog eyes in there too.
Tedros sighed "Sophie, I know how your little princess, fairy tale loving, mind works. I can almost, actually no, I can see the gears in your head turning. You heard the words 'True Love' and then you were about to lose your head and go on and on about how I needed to find her or all would be lost or some other bull crap thing like that"
Sophie laughed " I don't know. Sounds to me like you're the one that's losing his head about this"
It was at that moment that Tedros realized his mistake. He had been so caught up in burying Sophie's plans for him to run away and find his mystery girl that he had forgotten to bury his own desires to do exactly that. It didn't matter though, he was a prince. The prince of Camelot at that. He couldn't just drop everything and run off to find some girl that he wasn't even completely sure existed, could he?
