"Peter-nii," I whispered.
Peter glared at me.
I knew I was in some trouble. Peter was really overprotective of me. More so since the time Ace and I came back from the little adventure.
I walked over to Peter's side and lowered my head. I had a pretty good feeling that he would want to talk to me when we got back to the palace.
Peter grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the prison and back to the palace.
I had a pretty good feeling that I was going to be put under castle arrest right when we got back.
"What were you doing in a place like that Skye?" Peter asked me when we were in the castle. Well, to be more precise my room.
"I never planned to end up there," I moaned. "I just ended up there. I was fast asleep, or I thought I was, and Black Joker somehow got me from the castle to the prison. I'm not sure how but he did. It feels like I'm just a prisoner," I added. "Here and there," I muttered.
Peter wrapped his arms around me. "Don't say that. You've never were a prisoner. Not here or there," he whispered. "Please don't say that. Not ever. Never say it again. Please," Peter begged looking into my eyes.
"I'll try," I answered. "It's hard not to think or feel like a prisoner."
We sat there, on my bed in silence for what seemed like hours.
"Ne, Peter?" I asked after the awkward silence.
Peter looked in my direction. "What is Skye?"
"Why are you so overprotective of me? Does it have something to do with the Jokers?"
Peter-nii pulled me into him. "You were put on the palace steps at a very young age. You know that already. There's something that you don't know, was a note with you when I found you. All it really said was to look out for you and that your name was Skye Clover. It didn't say who it was from or why someone had to look out for you. The Jokers might have something to do with it. I'm not really sure. They might recognize because of some resemblance with a prisoner from a long time ago."
"Thanks Peter-nii. It helps a little knowing that there might actually be a connection between me and them. Just wish that I knew more about who my family is."
"Please stay on the grounds for a while. I'll have a guard escort you off the grounds when I know it's safe for you to go out. I can't lose you again, or at least thinking I have. I just want you to be safe. Do you understand?"
I nodded. "I do brother. Can Ace watch over me when I'm allowed to go out?"
Peter gave me a small glare before smiling at me.
I giggled.
