TANGLED-It was just a dream CHAPTER 3
Note: That last chapter had MAJOR ERRORS. Flail D: because I never gave the name for the Palace Guard, his name is Bob Burley. I was doing this on my iPod, so I didn't notice when I didn't correct that. And now, I've found a DRAWING to help me write. Deviants ROCK! And yes, I do know it's boring, but it gets better-I promise. And when I promise something, I never, ever break that promise. Ever.
The fight's been going on for days. At night, flames from nearby lanterns shine in my room. I keep hoping one of those lanterns is Eugene's, and that he's on his way home. Every day, I don't want to get up and go to my lessons. But I do anyway.
"Rapunzel? Rapunzel!" My tutor, Marissa Byron, jolts me from my thoughts.
"Huh?" I shake my head, my thoughts hazy now.
"Sweetie, I know you miss Eugene, but we have got to get through these studies." she says, opening my algebra textbook. Fantastic.
"Marissa, I'd love to do math….but…I want to learn about the war." I say, almost shocked when I say it. Marissa doesn't seem surprised.
"You know, I was thinking you were gonna ask that. If you would grab that world map right over there, we can get started!" Marissa's brown eyes shined as she pointed to my favorite map. I brought it over to her, and she looked at it carefully, and then pointed out Corona.
"Okay, so we're here. And the nearest kingdom, which is Levia, is here," Marissa points to a kingdom that looks about a mile away from ours. I nod my head, understanding.
"And see, their king wants to take over as many kingdoms as he can. He's already taken over here, here, and here." she points to three other locations, the names of them I don't know.
"So basically, they want to take over Corona?" I ask, balancing my chin in my hand.
"Yeah! Great job! That's all the time we have, but we can get together again tomorrow, okay?" Marissa winks at me and I run back to my room, grabbing books to study. I have an idea of how late I'm staying up tonight.
