Walk and Talk

"So…tell me more about yourself Sara." Said Grissom

Sara and Grissom were walking near the shore with Hank. It was a nice day, and the sky was clear.

"Well…I was found in an alleyway by a woman named Camille. She was an owner of an orphanage back then, and she admitted me in. She took care of me, but eventually, she died and someone took over the orphanage. I was six years old when I was found. Parents came and went. Some interviewed me…some didn't talk to me at all. Time passed by and before I knew it, I was already thirteen. When I was thirteen…I was adopted by this rich family. They owned a manor. They adopted me mainly because they wanted me to be their maid. It was then that I learned and mastered doing household chores." Said Sara

"Okay…go on." Said Grissom, eager to listen.

"I still remember that family…they had a daughter. I think her name is Debbie. Debbie and I looked alike. We looked alike, but our personalities were different. She used to boss me around telling me to clean her bag, iron her gown, clean the toilet, and wash her horse. She was pretty mean but over time, I got used to it. I used to believe in Prince charming and knights in armor and somehow, when I was young, I always hoped that I was Cinderella and that my prince would soon find me. Anyway, when I was already sixteen years old, the Marlin family sold me to Kayla Harris. She was a nice person. She helped me find a job. I finally landed a job. I proved that I was a good cook, a patient maid, and an obedient person. But of course, they fired me when I was twenty-one because of their spoiled princess who was convinced that I stole her gowns."

"Did you?" asked Grissom

"Did I what?"

"Did you steal her gowns?"

"Of course not. Why would I?"

"Anyway…continue." Said Grissom

"Well, I didn't work for one year and then I was hired by you. I'm currently twenty-three years old. Wait…I just remembered your highness…I don't know how old you are."

Grissom's face flushed bright red. "Oh…uh….It's not really necessary for you to know how old I am…"

Sara smiled her famous "Sidle smile" "Go on your grace…how old are you? You can't be that old…"

Grissom's face grew even redder. "Well, I appreciate the compliment…but in reality, I'm actually Twenty six years old."

Sara smiled. "That's not old."

"It is for me."

"It's not!" laughed Sara

"Whatever you say…"

Hank ran and so Grissom was pulled by the dog. Sara tried to help Grissom up but she stumbled and fell too. Hank calmed down, and Grissom let go of his leash. Grissom and Sara decided to make some sandcastles.

"I have never made a sandcastle my whole life." Said Sara

"Oh?" asked Grissom

"Yeah. I was always missing out on all the fun as a kid."

"Well at least your first time to make a sandcastle is with me." Smiled Grissom

Sara couldn't help but smile. Prince Gil's smile was like a boyish grin and a sophisticated man's smile combined.

"Well yeah…at least." Muttered Sara

After twenty minutes, they finally finished making the sandcastle.

"It's beautiful." Said Sara

Grissom nodded in agreement

"Do you want to resume our walk Sara?"

"Why yes, Prince Gil."

"Then let's go."

And Grissom offered his hand to Sara which she accepted. Sara offered to hold the leash and Grissom accepted.

"So…what was Isabelle like?" asked Sara

"Well…She was a nice girl. I met her when we were young and…she was just…right for me. I do believe that she's still out there…I miss her. When we were young, she never told me what her whole name was. It was just that her name was Isabelle. I asked her mother and she confirmed that her daughter was named Isabelle. I asked because I thought that Isabelle was joking about her name. But then…

**Flashback**

I was running down the stairs. I heard the opening of a door and I was wondering if it was an unexpected visit from Isabelle. I saw my friends in the garden and I quickly called them.

"What's the matter Gil? Why are you rushing?" asked Catherine

"I heard someone open the main door. I hope Isabelle's visiting."

"Whoa. Slow down tiger. You seem too eager to see her!" said Brass

"Of course I am! You know I like her…"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" said Sofia.

Vincent, Brass, Catherine, Sofia, Heather, and I ran towards the main door. There, we found Warrick, Nick, and Greg, patiently waiting.

"We heard the main door open too. We saw…three guards. We recognized the uniform…They are royal guards from the kingdom of Kysria." Said Warrick

"Oh is that so…where are they?" asked Heather

"They are in the lounge speaking with Queen Emma and King Arthur." Said Greg

"Speaking about what?" I asked

"We don't know. But you better not go in there Griss…You wouldn't want to interrupt." Said Nick

I nodded. He was probably right.

All of us headed towards the door leading to the lounge. The door swung open and three guards came out. Warrick was right. I recognized the uniforms too. They were indeed palace guards from the kingdom of Kysria.

The three guards bowed to all of us and then one shook my hand.

"We are deeply sorry for your loss." He said

I just nodded my head. I was confused. What loss?

I looked at my friends. They were confused too.

We went in the lounge and there we found my mother crying on my father's shoulder. He was hugging her.

We bowed to my mother and father and we seated ourselves.

"Mother…what's wrong?"

"We just received news from Kysria. The…queen, Isabelle's mother was…stabbed. Her father was…shot." Said father

"…and Isabelle?" I asked

"She…She…She's nowhere to be found. She's….missing. Oh Gil…I'm so sorry."

"Who killed them?" I asked

"Some drunken guards. We…ordered for them to be punished by law. Effective tomorrow, Duchess Renee, Queen Laura's sister, will become queen of Kysria with Duke Dale, her husband, to become king."

I didn't say anything. I jus walked towards my mother and cried on her shoulder. I was too shocked to speak.

I looked at my friends. They were crying silently. Isabelle had been a good friend to all of us. Vincent went to my father and cried too.

Warrick hugged Catherine. Brass hugged Heather, Nick hugged Sofia. Greg had his arms around his knees. He was too shocked to speak. He was also crying silently.

I looked out the window. What was supposed to be a promising day for all of us turned into a hellish nightmare.

"So that was how you found out what happened to the royal family of Kysria." Said Sara

"Yes. It was very…sad for all of us. Isabelle was a good friend. I know that we were young since I was nine and she was six, but we knew we loved each other. But then….that had to happen."

Suddenly they saw a lightning and a few seconds later, they heard thunder. Before they knew it, it was already raining and they were both wet.

"Listen we have a cabin not far from here. Do you want to go there?" asked Grissom

"Want to race Prince Gil?" laughed Sara

With that, Sara, Grissom, and Hank ran towards the cabin.

A.N: It's finally Saturday! =)
