( So it's Tuesday NIGHT, and I'm here typing for you people, just been caught up in my HTTYD fanfic, but here's a question, IS ANYONE READING THIS, I don't want to sound vain, but I haven't even gotten a review for the last chapter, not one, are you guys reading this, and you don't have to be a member to review, I hate to sound needy but I'm just used to getting at least one review per chapter and I only signed up back in April, you guys are getting me worried)

Annabella went back to her room in shock, school was cancelled, after changing properly into a mint green old home dress, Annabella realized something, what was she going to do. Just because she was out, didn't mean Lily was, no, she was still stuck with her tutor, she asked a servant to sent word to fetch Malinda but, part of Mirowanna's order was that no one was to leave their house unless to go to the market. So this meant she wasn't allowed to go anywhere or be with any of her friends, just great.

Anna pretty much spent the day trying to entertain herself, she played fetch with Noctis, did her homework, read a book, and went for a walk, which was hard to do considering that plenty of guards were well, guarding the entire perimeter of Marmoreal, a pleasant walk is hard to have when you are constantly being watched. But Annabella's most favorite thing was going to one of the library's, why, because of the giant piano in it, Annabella, though did know how to play, didn't own one herself, so she used the library's.

Touching the smooth slick keys, she began to play, practicing since small childhood, the girl could play with her eyes closed, allowing herself to get enveloped into the music, till she was broken out of her dreamland by the slam of a door.

"WOULD YOU STOP THAT, THE PRINCESS IS TRYING TO STUDY AND YOUR PLAYING IS VERY DISTRACTING, JUST BECAUSE YOUR OUT OF SCHOOL, YOU THINK YOU CAN DO WHAT EVER YOU WANT, WELL THAT'S NOT HOW THINGS WORK IN THE REAL WORLD, SOME OF US STILL HAVE WORK TO DO.

The red-head stopped to face the red-faced tutor, she got from the bench and silently walked out, no mess or fuss, a few seconds later there was a crash from the hall, ... they needed a new vase.

It had been a few days and so far her plan seemed to be working, it wasn't that hard actually, when word broke out of Annabella's grounding across the palace, most stayed away from her to give her some space, it also helped that in fact Lily's Birthday was coming and everyone was preparing for it so most were to busy anyway, it was during these ;no school days' that Anna just did what ever she could do to keep herself busy, she stayed a long time outside, walking, playing, reading or trying to figure out how to get in contact with the flowers, without notice.

After the piano fiasco, Alice advised her daughter to take up needle point and it was also during one of these days that rain had come and there was Annabella, in a dark blue old home dress (imagine the dress Johanna wears in Sweeney Todd) in a chair by the window with needlepoint. Listening to the chirping of the birds from the queen's private aviary and her Noctis Diablo, following their tune. Though she was trying to focus on her stitching, Anna's thoughts turned to other things...

(For you DayDreamer) Let Me Sing from Sweeney Todd

Green Finch, Linnet Bird, Nighting Gale, Blackbird, How is It You Sing, ,

What she didn't know was a certain blue butterfly was flying to the white palace to talk to Mirrowanna, but was stopped by the sound.

How can you jubilate sitting in cages, never taking wing

"Well I guess that is a valid question for a child's mind" thought Absolim.

"Outside the sky waits beckoning, beckoning, just beyond the bars"

"I guessing this isn't entirely about the birds", he thought.

How can you remain staring at the rain, maddened by the stars

"Might as well let the girl finish" he sighed.

Turning back to Noctis, How is it you sing anything, how is it you sing

Absolum flew to the window sill, for the girl to finish, "at least she can stay on pitch".

Annabella looks back at how dark and grim her room looks on such a cloudy day, emphasizing her feeling of being locked up.

My cage has many rooms, damask and dark, nothing there sings, not even my lark

"Does she not suppose she's overreacting", Absolem mumbled to himself.

Turning back to her window, Larks never will you know when their captive, teach me to be more adaptive

"I would like to know what this is really about" thought the blue creature.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Luckily for the insect, the window was open, allowing him to push and slip through just enough for her not to notice.

Green Finch, Linnet Bird, Nighting Gale, Blackbird, Teach me how to Sing

Absolum flew right above her so she could finish.

If I cannot fly, let me sing

(End Song)

"Now what's this all about"

Annabella gasped at the new voice, "oh Absolem, I didn't see you there."

"Yes, a small winged creature is justifiable to miss"

"Oh I didn't mean to upset you but... how much did you hear."

"If your talking about the singing, the answer would be the entire sequence, but granted you do know how to carry your tune out at least".

Anna blushed, "um thank you"

"It was not much of a compliment, mainly and merely an observation stupid girl"

"Um, of course", suddenly the green eyed though an idea, "um Absolem...I was wondering if..."

But the insect interupted her, "number 1, stupid girl, do not use 'um' for the beginning of every sentence you speak, it is unneeded and unwanted, second, if you have something to say, then say it, do not just wonder, but completely understand what is about to come out of your mouth or it isn't worth speaking, do you understand ?"

"I do completely Absolum"

"Good, now is what you are about to request have anything to do with your feeling of imprisonment inside your own home ?"

"Yes, how did you know ?"

"Stay on topic, what is it you need from me ?"

(A gift to you Day Dreamer201, great song choice, and I added Absolem in their, even to a child, he's still strict, but he has a good heart, he's willing to listen... if you talk properly that it, oh well, and yeah, apparently Anna can play the piano, don't worry that'll come back later, and it looks like she's found her ticket to freedom, if anyone can do it, it's Absolem oh and SWEENEY TODD AND MUSIC IS NOT MINE, next chapter by Thursday)
