When the clock struck midnight, Kimmy rushed down to the kitchen while the
world slept. She grabbed all she could carry and hurried down to the
cellar. The prisoner head was in his hands when she appeared. When he
heard the keys jingle, his head bobbed up. "You." He whispered. Kimmy
smiled. She sat down by the cell where he was kept and handed him food
through the bars. "I figured you might be hungry." She whispered. "Well go
on, eat." She sat for a moment then said, "My name is Kim..." "Kimberly" he
finished. "I figured it was Kimberly sense that's the name the king
hollered at you." Kimmy giggled. "I'm Damien." He said with a mouth full.
They shook hands through the bars. "I don't mean to be rude," he said
after a swallow. "But do you have water? I havent had any for a week."
"Oh!" she exlaimed and quickly retrieved the water from beside her. "Thank
you." He took a sip then said, "You know, while I was lying there and I
heard you name, I thought, Kimberly, sounds like a name of an angel." Kimmy
laughed. "You can call me Kimmy." She said. "Ok." He agreed.
"By the way, why did you save me?"
Kimmy looked at him then smiled.
"Because people don't deserve to die because of what they believe. If that
was the case all the time, everyone would want to kill everyone!"
"Your smart Kimmy. You are. Very innocent but smart.
Kimmy stared at him. "What do you mean by innocent.?" She asked
Damien laughed. "I mean you think of the world so peaceful, when in
reality, we all want to kill others who arent on our side!"
There was a key scratching at the door and Kimmy ran into the dark
corner. Three guards came in laughing. They walked right past Kimmy. Kimmy
ran behind them and waved to Damien. He waved back and she ran up the
stairs and into her room.
The next morning, Kimmy woke up and smiled. She put a robe on and
skipped down to the kitchen. At the table she kissed her father, hugged her
mother and sisters, and sat down by Bradley. "Well I supose someone is
behaving today." Said the king. When their breakfast was served, Kimmy put
a napkin on her lap an picked up an extra of everything a dropped it in the
napkin. When everyone looked finished, Kimmy excused herself from the
table, hiding the food inside her robe. She skipped down to the cellar and
locked the door. Damien got up and smiled at her apperance.
"I brought breakfast!" Kimmy said smiling.
"It would be good to just see your face." Damien said quietly.
Kimmy laughed as she handed him the food. She sat down. She looked up
thoughtfully.
"What are you thinking?" Damien asked.
"You know," she started. "Today is Friday!"
"Okay..." Questioned Damien.
Kimmy laughed. "That means all prisoner are allowed outside! Only in the
courtyard though. The courtyard is built so no one could escape!"
Damien thought. "Well couldn't they hide?"
Kimmy shook her head.
"No. every prisoner has a person who watches them. I get to watch you!"
Damien laughed.
"Are you sure you can take responsibility for me? You hardly know me!"
Kimmy smiled. "I got a long time to know."
Damien looked at her thoughtfully. He shook his head but smiled.
"You willing to take that chance?"
Kimmy nodded.
"Okay." He sighed. "Your call."
