"Lady Teresa." Prince Daniel bowed as he entered the library. I have been hiding out here ever since Felicia stabbed Aurora, I should be at the infirmary with Aurora, but I'm not stupid. Felicia can get you at anytime. "Prince Daniel." I say and he takes my hand. I swear someone has let a fire to it, I've tried to make my hand burn when I touch it but it never works, it's like he has some magical power over me. "How would you like a walk?" He asks as he sits down next to me in the chair. I have to rearrange myself to were I am sitting on his lap, for both of us to fit. "I think I would much rather stay inside and read. You are welcome to stay with me Prince Daniel." I say as he takes my book out of my hands and sets it down on the table. "Why would you refuse such an outing?" He smiles and I run my hand through his hair. "Because." I whisper. This one word answer of 'because' has become our thing. I still hate the answer because though. "Shouldn't you be spending time with the other girls?" I ask him and he outs his hand on my knee, I have to refrain myself from burning into an ash. "Are you trying to get rid of me, lady Teresa?" "Oh no,no,no. Prince Daniel, it's just we've had so many more dates than the other girls. I don't want you to make the wrong choice." I say, as I nuzzle my head into his shoulder. "You just don't want to get stabbed." He say's petting my head. "How dare you say such a thing!" I say as I slap his chest. It's like slapping concrete. "You know it's true." He say's and he gives me a quick kiss on the cheek. I must looks like a tomato. Prince Daniel has this horrible habit of leaving before I wanted him to, but the rules don't allow me to ask him for more time, but today he stayed. I read him a book that he had picked out, and he kissed me making me lose were we were in the book, and he would laugh every time. Prince Daniel had full filled his promise to me, he made me see the light in this darkening world. "Tess..." He whispered, he was growing tired now, we had skipped lunch, I was guessing it was time for dinner. "Prince Daniel." I said and he took my hands and pressed the to his mouth. I let the book drop onto my lap. "Danny." "Whose 'Danny'?" "I am. Just call me Danny." "Okay, Danny." It felt foreign to say, he was letting me call him something no one else called him, but I knew not to get my hopes up, he was probably spending every minute he didn't have with me, with another girl calling him Danny. "It's time for dinner." I said and he groaned. I stood up before he could lift me up with him. Not that he couldn't pick me up, he could and did, by this point in our relationship I started to believe his arms were made of stone. "I don't want food." He said half asleep and his stomach groaned. "Your stomach disagrees." I said and he stood up held his arm out to me, I accepted it. I am still the only girl who doesn't dress in dresses, my maids have tried but my answer still remains at a no. All the other girls are dressed in black, pink, blue, yellow, and red dresses. Princess Maureen is in a flowly pin dress with silver rhinestones at the chest. You can sort of tell she is going to have a kid, she just radiates mother. "Good afternoon ladies." Prince Daniel, Danny, say's as he bows to everyone. He gives his mom and his sister a kiss on the cheek and sits down, and starts to eat. I sit by Thalia, she gives me an angry look and starts to eat her food. They waited for us. "He should be here mother!" Princess Maureen 'Whispers' to the queen. "Maybe he is just late." The queen whispers back. It is then I notice the empty chair next to Princess Maureen, and the plate with uneaten food on it. Breathing becomes hard to do, and I start to eat the food faster. I hear the fork hitting the plate over and over again, until the plate cracks. "Tess... Lady Teresa are you okay?" Danny asks me and I look up from the plate and at him. I smile and nod my head. "I'll be fine." I set the fork down. "I just need to go to my room... I'm sorry about the plate." I say excusing myself. "Let me walk you." Danny say's wiping his mouth and throwing the napkin down on the table. "No, no finish eating your diner." I say as I open the door but he grabs my hand. "I would much rather walk you to your room." He said with a wink. We passed that creepy underwater thing again. "What is that?" I asked as I stood behind Danny. "It's a fish." Cackled the person walking up to us. "I'm surprised you don't know that dear sister.". I squeezed Danny's arm tighter, as he approached. I felt Danny's hand find my back as he pulled me closer to him. "Tom." I said as he bowed to Danny, who let go of me to bow back. Tom takes my hand and gives it a quick kiss, and I feel myself start to puke. "Teresa." He say's with a smile. "I must go see my fiancé and future child. I'm sure they must be worried sick." A wicked smile plays on his lips. Prince Daniel stands in front of me, I hold his hand to my stomach. "I'm sure they are." He gives me a quick kiss on the cheek and leaves. "I'll see you later, sister." He say's from down the hall. When we can't see him anymore Danny pulls me into his arms and wraps them protectively around me. "I can have a guard posted out your room." He says into neck, which dances with life, as his breath skims the skin. "I..I..still won't be able to sleep." I say as I gather up my nerves. "Not unless you're with me."
