I stood out on the balcony just like I did in my dream. I could hear the water sway under the moon. It was calm and soothing to hear the waves against the shore line. As the hours went by not once did I feel something wrong. It was strange. That dream felt so real. I pondered these thoughts in my mind trying to find an explanation for my dream but I never found the answer.

As I gathered my thoughts and pushed the dream away, I joined my mother who was sitting at the throne. We sat in silence as the party went on. She not once glanced my way but that was normal. Everyone but me was happy enjoying each other's company. I wish there was someone out there about my age that I could talk to or that I can enjoy being around. All I had was a rusty old knight, another who was too busy being mother's pet, and my own mother who never really speaks to me. People talk and say how wonderful it may be to be a princess but they never see the princess that is struggling to be at peace with this world.

I got up from the throne and made my way out to the garden. This was the only place that I could feel at ease. It was lovely at night when the moon shinned down on the roses it had a bit of magic to this lovely scene. The crickets where singing and the birds where nestling in the trees. I would give anything to be as free as a bird.

"Excuse me, I feel that I am a bit lost." A voice called behind me.

I turned to face who the voice was coming from but it was too dark to make out who it was.

"Who's there?" I asked.

The figure stepped into the moonlight. As I looked at him I could feel my face lose its color. I began to feel week and nauseas. It was the boy from my dream. He was here, here at my castle. I collapsed to the floor, my head started to hurt. The boy rushed to my side holding me up a bit.

"Hey are you alright? You don't look so well." He said.

He hands felt cool on my skin. I felt a sense of reassurance that I was going to be ok in his arms. Though I didn't even know his name and we just met. Something was different about him. I gathered my strength and he helped me to my feet.

"I'm sorry about that," I smiled as I brushed my dress off.

"It's alright don't worry about it." He said.

"You said you were lost?" I asked.

"Yes, I'm looking for where the party might be, my parents went ahead of me and well this is where I ended up," He laughed.

"Follow me I'll show you." I smiled.

As we walked I couldn't help but catch small glimpses of him. He was quiet handsome and very kind. We hardly spoke to each other mostly it was just small talk. He seemed very shy and didn't let on to much about himself. I'd hoped that I would at least catch his name before we entered the grand hall but I never got it. His presence began to feel cold and different. Why had the feeling change so suddenly? At first it seemed warm and inviting and now it's cold and dark. How can a feeling of a person change so quickly?

We finally made our way to the grand hall where people were still dancing and drinking. There was a stunning couple at the far end of the hall. The boy left my side and joined them. Was he the boy from my dream? Was that really him? I was lost and confused about him. The feeling of loneliness rushed over me once more. I thought maybe that was my ticket to having someone to be friends with but once more I was wrong.

As the party came to a conclusion, people were leaving drunk and staggering out the door. I really don't see how people can drink so much of that stuff. I never liked the smell nor did I like the taste of it.

The last of the people to leave was the boy and his parents. He never glanced my way as I watched him leave. I couldn't understand why he was being that way. Was it something I did? Was it something I said? It didn't matter much any way I would never see him again since every party we hold not very many people that have been here before show up again.

As the lights were turned off one by one I made my way back to my room. I changed out of my dress and into a night gowned. My heart felt so heavy. I didn't know what I had done to make that boy feel that way. I felt a tear roll down my cheek as I opened my windows and looked out to the night sky.

"If you're out there somewhere and in some way can hear me," I said. "I want to say I'm sorry."

The moon shinned down on me and in a way it made me feel better. "You know just how to make me feel better don't you." I smiled.

I closed my windows and headed to bed. Tomorrow is a new day and what it holds for me I do not know. I laid my head on my pillow and closed my eyes but the boys face never escaped my mind.

I know my chapters are a bit short sorry about that ^ ^; I will try my best to write more.
