Chapter 2-Why Me?
"Xiao Qiao, come on the carriages do appear to be ready, now where are you?" father yelled out to me as I was trying on my new outfit with the help of two ladies-in-waiting, Sun Yun and Shin De, they too are to be coming with me to "Wu".
"Coming, daddy!"
Than they did my hair and after that we dashed out of the doors of the castle walls.
"Come on, come on, watch yer' heads please...Oh, Xiao Qiao, tell Da that I love her and that I miss her and give her a kiss for me...and a hug...oh, yeah I almost forgot-" he then bent over and kissed me on my forehead and the a bear hug and then he watched me get into the carriage with my ladies-in-waiting and two of the "master" guards in ranking. I looked back at him, at least to see him and his mistress waving. I turned back around after a long stare at them.
I started thinking about Da and how I had missed her and about how she had grown to become a grown woman (at least almost). She must be at least 17 years of age now,because we was at least one year apart. She was always one age older than I. So that would mean if I'm 16 than she must be 17...right? Ooooo, I miss her so much. Hey I would I like to know what his would be like "Wu", would I like it? Would I hate it?
Why, who knows I might even want to stay. Well it looks like we're about 195 miles from "Wu" ,for by the time we get there it should be in the mid-hour of the night light. Well I just need to get some kind of rest ,because of this riding is making me tired...
