Royal slave: chapter 13
James' POV
It was a stupid idea to go and hide in these deeps woods. Because of my stupidity i was now lost. And it was already dark. I was cold and i felt scared. I didn't know wherei was and which was the right way home. I wanted to go home because i felt scared. I wish i hadn't disobeyed. If i hadn't then i wouldn't be lost in this deep woods now.
I kept on walking in a direction that seemed the most easiest to follow in the dark. I wasn't able to find my way home after all. I sighed sadly and sat down on the ground. I was so scared. I whimpered and hugged my legs against my chest. I decided to sit here and wait. But i decided against it once i saw a light in the deep darkness of the woods. I smiled and felt my hopes up again. I got up from the ground and quickly ran towards the light. My smile brigthened the closer i got. I knew that it had to be my home. I would care if my parents would scold me. I wouldn't be playing tag in these woods anymore.
My smile vanished once i reached the light. My happy expression had gone away to make place for an amazed expression. I was standing in front of the royal palace. I had no idea i was living so close to it.
A sudden curiosity overtook me and without thinking before acting i walked towards the royal palace. I walked into the palace gardins and looked around. The gardin was really big and pretty. I walked closer and tried to find a way in. I wanted to find somebody who would surely help me find my home. I found my way up to the gate and walked towards it when i saw two guards. I smiled as i thought that they would help me go back home. I approached them, but they didn't seem like they wanted to help me. They tried to shoo me away. I dropped my ears sadly and walked away. I guess i had to find my own way home.
I walked back into the garden and looked at the forest. The forest was really dark. And i didn't wish to enter it again, but if i wanted to go home then i had no other choice. I whined and looked at the forest in fright. I was very hesitant to enter it. Soon i found out that i didn't have to, after all. "what're you doing here?" I heard a soft voice ask. I looked behind me and was met with a pair of bright yellow eyes.
