Sam pov
We are landing now. I grasp Freddie's hand as we descend into the new and beautiful country. Well for them not for me. I come here all the time but with my friends it is more special.
We are getting off the plane and I still haven't let go of Freddie's hand, his face is scrunched in confusion and worry that I am insane probably. Oh well he looks cute and this is funny.
I know what you are thinking. Freddie cute, noooooo. Well yeah I like, no sorry love Freddie with all my heart but my mom told me I cannot show it for we would be in danger or something. She confuses me. She also said I cannot tell my friends my mom's real name or say how she really is. I have to pretend her freaky friend is my mom. But apparently it is for the best or some kind of crap like that.
"Freddiekins are we going to get our luggage and go straight to the hotel or look around for a bit? What do ya think?" that is how I am. I am a sweet person naturally and it pains me to see people hurt or angry because of me but my mum said I have to be the opposite of my personality so they won't find me. I don't know who they are but since I was young I was told they were bad.
But they won't hurt me coz my image says they can't. But every day I am scared they will get me.
"Ermm honey. I don't know we might as well just rest for today and go out tomorrow. If no-one minds but I think it would be best if we just relax."
"When we have unpacked I need to go and meet my mom somewhere she said I need to meet someone. She said you can all come if you want?"
"Yeah that will be fun" carly said feeling confused as Sam's mom wasn't coming.
"Ok then let's go!!"
IN HOTEL MADARINA ORIENTAL-ROYAL SUITE
"Wow Sam your mom must have paid a fortune for this suite."
Truth was she got in anywhere free for the publicity of the hotel.
"No it was free. Don't ask any questions she said she would answer them today. Outside Buckingham palace at 3 o'clock. We'd better leave as it is ten to and since I have stayed here many times I know it is only a ten minute walk there so we should be there on time."
OUTSIDE BUCKINGHAM PALACE
"Hello mother, how
have you been? I have had the most splendid time in
Seattle."
Everyone gawped at my formalness. My mom made me get
etiquette lessons for when I come to see her and for the "near
future" is what she said.
"I have been spectacular sweetheart. Oh Mrs Benson long times no see. And this must be Fredward. Have you told him because if you haven't, Samantha has yet to know and we could tell them together?"
"Tell us what mother?"
"Mother?" I thought it was carly because this was not the mom she had met but it was a man with a camera.
"Aha. The long lost princess. I have been following her since she was hidden waiting for it to be revealed. The next queen of England. And Fredward Benson. I remember Mrs Benson. Fredward and Samantha fleeing to Seattle because of threats. Must have been no more than four. Friends ever since. Future husband and wife like it was always planned. May I ask what day will you announce that Prince Fredward of Norway and Belgium will marry Princess Samantha of the United Kingdom? Ha-ha."
And with that he ran away, leaving a crowd of people coming for us and we all stood there speechless.
"Ermm what?" is all I could say.
"We better get you inside your proper home. Queen Marisa I think it is time they knew. We can go to your kingdoms on Wednesday. In less than two days to see your beloved."
"I think that would be best Queen Sophia. Then the children will finally be able to meet their fathers. Is King Dave home?"
"Yes. Children and man with light up socks we will explain everything when we get inside the palace."
We all followed my mom into the palace. Slowly and cautiously wondering if this is all a joke being pulled.
When we got inside we saw the beauty and detail put into every square inch of this place. Wonderful designs sown into cloth or carved into tables.
We came up to a room that said "Private study."
My mom knocked and
walked in. "Dave honey someone knows."
"Ok, well hello Sammy
I haven't seen you since you were but five and Fredward. You look
just like your father you must be so proud Marisa."
"Get Clive and Jerry to bring their belongings from their hotel as they will stay here. Sammy why are you wearing those clothes? Marisa your husband is coming to the ball tonight to announce it. The children should start getting ready soon. Clareta will show you to your rooms. In there you will find clothing for tonight. Sammy we have left your room the same since when you left it. Hopefully it will bring memories. Carly's is left of your room and Freddie's to the right. See you soon I need to talk with Spencer, Sophia and your mother. King Benson should arrive soon. If you need anything ring the bell next to your bed."
And I ran and gave him a hug a then left to go to my room. When we arrived only looking at the door brought back memories. Freddie and I going thought a secret compartment to his room then back to mine. On my vast wooden door was "Princess Samantha" in fancy writing. By now
Clareta had left and we were staring at the doors.
"Sam, can you remember things all of a sudden?"
"Yeah."
"Why
is my name written on this door?"
At first I thought he was lying but there it was in the same font as mine written there "Fredward Benson."
"Let me show you something else I remember."
"I'm going to go in my room and look around ok?" said carly. Usually I would have asked her to look but I think she needed time to think.
"Ok."
She disappeared into her room whilst I walked into Freddie's. I lead him to a fancy mirror. Then I pulled it and a stairway came. I then pulled on the other mirror and there was my room from what I could remember.
We walked down the staircase to a room. In the room were musical instruments and canvases with paints, pastels, oil pastels and charcoal. On the back wall was a magnificent fire place and above was a painting of me and Freddie when we were four. I walked up to it. For some strange reason I felt the need to pull it off the wall. I looked at Freddie.
"Do you feel the need
to pull this painting off the wall coz I do?"
"Yeah I do!"
I pulled it off the wall and inside the painting was pictures with "To Sam , Love Freddie" or "To Freddie, Love Sam" written across them in scrawled handwriting.
There were also song sheets with musical notes and lyrics. Again the words where scrawled over the page.
I saw a guitar in the corner, grabbed two music sheets handed one to Freddie and motioned for him to go to the piano and got the guitar.
We started to play the instruments singing a song that was titled Homeless Heart.
I began to sing then Freddie joined in at the chorus then sang the second verse then we did the chorus again.
We didn't need the sheet anymore because we knew the words. When we finished we belted into another song we could remember but not the words until that moment. The song was called So Close. Instead of the piano Freddie got the other guitar and strummed while I sang in complete harmony.
Then we finished quite shocked and walked upstairs. I can remember that you have to press a certain part of the mirror the get it to open luckily otherwise I would have been stuck here forever.
Clareta came into my
room as soon as I got in. Again the memories flooded into my head.
She was followed by a group of women and called carly.
"These
people will do your hair and make-up for the ball tonight. You need
to look you best."
Since I didn't feel the need to argue I
just nodded as the people came in and started to tug at mine and
Carly's hair while someone else slapped on make-up. Not too much
but a lot compared to the eyeliner I wear. My hair was in ringlets
and had jewels in it with a small silver crown and white diamonds.
Carly's was in a bun with soft curls complementing her face. The
women left as we headed for my wardrobe to get our dresses. In there
was two dresses with a piece of paper on each. The teal one was mine
and the crimson one was Carly's.
We got changed into our dress and put on the three inch heels to match the colour. My dress was tight at the waist and mid hips then flowed down and out. It was strapless and showed a bit of cleavage. Carly's was a simple dress it had straps and a pink belt for under her bust. Then the dress just flowed to mid shin.
My dress had a bit of detail going from the top of it to my waist. It was a darker teal flowers. I looked at myself in the mirror. I scrub up pretty good don't I? What is that? That is gorgeous. Hanging from the mirror was a silver chain with a heart locket. On the back of it was carved in beautiful lettering "FB+SP=LOVE" I knew that stood for Freddie + Sam = Love I wasn't stupid. On the inside of the locket was the painting like inside our room. Although this one was smaller and only showed our face.
I could tell carly was becoming curious so I said "It is a locket. It is all coming back to me now. For my fourth birthday Freddie got me this gift so I would remember him because we were moving away from each other to Seattle. We were told we wouldn't see or speak to the other until we were thirteen. We persuaded them to let us live near one another. Look on the back is FB+SP=LOVE and inside is a painting of me and Freddie. We had to move away because people were threatening to kidnap Freddie and I. It almost happened once. That was when we were rushed to Seattle. The maids were told to pack our day clothes and shoes and underwear. But when we got the car I started to run back to get the necklace because I had taken it off to get a bath and forgot to put it on. They wouldn't let me get it. I was forbidden to see Freddie for a year and soon forgot about him. My mom's friend looked after me and mom told me to bully Freddie so they wouldn't find out. She said Freddie would love someone else so they wouldn't find out. I think Mrs Benson told Freddie to pretend to love you so that he wouldn't get taken. People used to try and break in. We had a special alarm which meant that Freddie and I were to go to our secret room where we drew and sang together and fell asleep on the small bed that was there. It is amazing how you can remember so much in one day huh?"
She just stood there. Not knowing how to cope with it all. The ball starts in ten minutes.
I wonder what they have to announce that is so important. I can't even remember what the freaky camera dude was talking about but maybe it was something he said that was going to be announced.
Okay I remember this: Fredward and Samantha fleeing to Seattle because of threats. Must have been no more than four. Friends ever since. Future husband and wife like it was always planned. May I ask what day will you announce that Prince Fredward of Norway and Belgium will marry Princess Samantha of the United Kingdom? Ha-ha."
Marry Freddie. Marry him. Become king and queen. But I have no qualities to running a kingdom. My mom and dad have some serious explaining to do!
Ha-ha he must not have meant it. Followed us since we left that means that he might have a picture of our first kiss. And might publish it. We will never be able to go to school or leave the house in case we get kidnapped. Wow worst yet best trip to England ever.
