Chapter 11: You just can't stop some things from being true
Hilary slowly awoke. She turned over in the bed, trying to find a more comfortable spot. Noticing that she couldn't find one, she opened her eyes to see the window. The one in Fox's room. Sun light now hit it and the storm had passed. Sitting up, surprised that she had fallen asleep, Hilary saw that someone had covered her with a blanket. She pushed it off her and walked over to the window, looking out. She noticed that the sun had risen. Looking behind her, she noticed that the panel had been closed, and all of Fox's books had been put away. Looking back out the window, she saw a few of Fox's crew coming back from their night shift.
"You're awake." Shifting, Hilary saw Tiger in the open door. Not having heard the door open, Hilary was surprised to see Tiger. "You should head to breakfast, it'll be starting soon." Hilary nodded and headed out the door. After closing the door, she walked with Tiger to the dinning room.
"I'd better go meet the rest of the crew, see if there's anything I need to do. But later on do you want to come on a walk with us?" Tiger asked as she and Hilary stopped outside the door. Hilary nodded.
"Alright." Leaving Tiger to walk away, Hilary walked inside the dinning hall. Like Tiger had said, breakfast was just about to begin. Sitting down, Hilary looked up at the King who was patiently waiting for the rest of the kids, and Mr. Dickenson to arrive. Nodding her head to the servant who brought her, she ate her food quietly. Looking at her, the King remained silent, not eating, while the others had yet to arrive.
"What troubles you Hilary?" The King asked, still watching her. She sighed, and put down her fork.
"Nothing. Just...wondering." She stared out a window, the sunlight streaming on a yellow bird that sat in the grand tree outside.
"About what?" The king asked kindly.
"About friends. How can you tell if some are true just having an off day or two, and the others are just pretending?" She asked turning back to the king.
"I guess you ask yourself how good of friends each side has been to you. There are a lot of questions you need to ask yourself. Like have they been true to you? Think of every good moment you've shared with each side. And think about how they've thought of you." He said, slightly backed into his thoughts. Hilary nodded. She sat in thought for a moment.
"Thank you your highness. That helps a lot." She said, standing up. "Have a good day sir." And with that she left.
"Wait!" the king called back. "Were you talking about Fox's crew?"
Hilary smiled. "I guess you could say that." She said, heading out.
-Next scene-
Walking back to Fox's room, Hilary surprisingly found it unlocked. Opening it she shut the door behind her and walked over to the panel. 'Fox must still be outside.' She though to herself as she tried to find the spot to hit the wall that would open the panel. Hitting a random part in frustration, to her surprise the panel opened. Reaching in, she looked back outside, to find that the day had turned stormy again. 'That's weird.' She thought, staring out the window. Finding the book she hadn't looked though yet she walked over to the window. Standing beside it, she opened the book to the first page. Lightning struck.
"No…" she breathed, her heart stopping.
