Author's note: Thank you for all the reviews…I'm so glad you liked the chapter. I do think that I need a beta reader but I don't want to have one since I want to correct my mistakes on my own. =)
Disclaimer: I don't own CSI. If I did, I would have kicked out Ray (Sorry Ray…) and I would have brought Grissom back. =)
The locket
Grissom woke. He started to get up but his arm was stuck. Sara was curled up to him. He decided to do something to pass the time. He glanced at the locket.
With his free arm, he grabbed the locket and put it near his eyes for inspection. He tried to open it but he could not. He turned the locket upside down and there he saw a keyhole.
Sara started to stir. Grissom placed the locket on his nightstand again and he pretended to be asleep. Sara woke. She quickly glanced at Grissom to make sure that he was still asleep. Sara smiled. He was pretending to be asleep. She stealthily got out of bed and got her locket. She wore her locket and proceeded to the kitchen.
Grissom frowned. He thought that she would go back to sleep if she saw that he was still asleep. He got out of bed and went into the kitchen to find Sara cooking breakfast.
"Good morning Sara." Said Grissom
"Good morning, your highness. I'm making some coffee and I'm currently cooking our breakfast."
"What are we having?" asked Grissom
"Well, since I am a vegetarian, I decided to cook pancakes." She raised her eyebrow and continued. "The batter is not expired yet…is it?"
"Oh…it is not yet expired. You see, my family hired someone to stock the house with foods and to guard it daily. So…I'm pretty sure that isn't expired."
"Good." Said Sara
Grissom sat down on the couch and looked at the fireplace. The fire had almost gone out. He went towards the fireplace and put more wood. After about a few more minutes, the fire was blazing merrily again.
"Breakfast is done Prince Gil…" said Sara
Grissom headed towards the dining room and sat down on one of the chairs. Sara brought out the pancakes and the coffee from the kitchen and sat down on the other chair.
"So…" said Grissom as he started to get a pancake "Can you tell me more about the locket?"
"Well, I…don't know that much about it. When I was taken into the orphanage, they asked me where the locket came from. Well…I told them that it came from my family. Eventually, I found out that it was supposed to be opened with a key. I searched the few things that I have and I didn't find a key. I am so careful of this locket since it is the only thing I am sure of that came from my family."
Grissom sipped his coffee.
"Prince Gil, since the storm is gone…can you tell me when we are going to go back to the castle?" asked Sara
Grissom frowned. He didn't want to go back. He was content to be with Sara, as in, alone with Sara. Nevertheless, he still answered her question.
"After taking a bath…we can go back. Your dress is probably dry by now…you can just change in the castle."
Sara nodded.
After a couple of minutes, both were ready to go and walk towards their destination. With Hank all ready to go, Sara and Grissom started to walk towards the castle.
