"What do you think you're doing out at this hour?" A blonde haired boy asked us, roughly grabbing Prince Edward by the arm and pulling him out into the hall. "Who's this?" He said, motioning towards me.
"Jasper, you scared me!" Edward sighed, shaking his head, "Were you the one following us?"
"Yes, because I heard noise. Who is she?" Jasper asked again.
"This is Isabella. She's one of the—uh—slaves," He said the last word carefully, looking over at me softly.
"Well, Isabella, you might want to head back before you're seen." Jasper said, smiling towards me slightly, "As for you, we need to talk, Edward."
"Uh, right. I'm sorry…goodnight—,"
"—Isabella wait!" Edward called, before Jasper told me once more to go. I did as I was told and fled up to my room quicker than imagined. I surely hoped I hadn't just gotten Edward in trouble. I would never be able to live with that. My lips were still tingling with the feel of his. He actually kissed me! Me! A slave in his kingdom!

Edward's POV:
"Are you mad?" Jasper asked in a hushed whisper, checking up the stairs to make sure Isabella was gone and that nobody could hear, "You were both out late, and when you tried to run, you hid and kissed her…what has gotten into you?"
"Nothing, alright?" I said impatiently, longing to see Isabella again.
"You need to be more careful if you're going to try and make that work." My eyes flashed up into his in confusion.
"Wh—you don't care then?"
"Not really. But if you don't want to see her killed, you better be careful." Jasper warned, "You're lucky that was me who found you and not somebody else."
"I know, I know," I sighed, shaking my head, "Alright, I'll try to be more careful."
"Good. I don't want to see you both in trouble or killed. She—uh, Isabella—is a very nice girl. I've seen her around the castle. She's helped mom a few times, and always does what she's told. The last thing she needs is to get in trouble for some reckless behavior." The guilty feeling started; I would get her hurt if we went along with this. But I was selfish, and I wanted to see her again. "Be careful with her."
After Jasper went back to his room, I quickly and quietly went up to the slaves quarters and slipped a note under Isabella's door. I only knew it was hers because I was guilty of stalking her the previous nights; only when I couldn't sleep.

A/N: So sorry this is so short! But alas, I must get back to my school work. The next update might be in June for this story too! I hate these long absences!
