Royal slave: chapter 14
James' POV
We stared at eachother for a while. The little girl was standing in front of me with a curious look in her eyes. She was waiting for me to answer her. But all i was able to force from my lips were stuttered words that didn't even closely resembled a sentence. She giggled, making me look at her. "don't be so shy! i won't hurt you!" She said smilling. I smiled back and blushed in embarrassement. "i...i'm lost." I muttered shyly. "you are?" She asked sadly. I nodded. "i can help you! but on one condition!" She said. "what condition?" I asked. "you'll play with me!" She said cheerily and smiled. "okay!" I said and smiled back. "yay!" She yelled happily grabbing my hand and pulled me into the castle.
She ran while dragging me along with her. I didn't know where we were going, but i guessed that we were going to her room to play. I had a hard time keeping up with her. She was really fast on her feet. She opened her bedroom and dragged me inside. She giggled and jumped onto her bed. "what game should we play?" She asked me. "uhmm." I said and contemplated about the matter. "how about tag?" She asked and allowed her tail to wag. "tag?" I asked. "yes! let's play tag! you're it!" She said and tagged me before jumping off her bed and running to the other side of the room while giggling. I jumped of off the bed aswell and ran to her. She giggled and ran from me. I was just a tad bit faster then her and tagged her. I laughed and ran for it when she went to chase after me.
A few hours passed by. We were now laying exhausted from the playing on her bag. We had been laughing the whole time and we were still laughing and giggling a bit. "that was fun!" Jasmine said still giggling a little. "yes it was." I replied while trying to catch my breath. "oh look!" Jasmine said all of a sudden and sat up. She jumped of off her bed and ran to her window. I followed her example and looked out the window aswell. What had caught her attention was the sun that was rising. "it's really pretty." She said and watched it raise. I nodded in agreement and watched aswell.
We were to caught in watching the sun rise to hear the door opening. "Jasmine? who is this?" We heard a female voice ask in shock. We looked to her door and saw a woman standing in the doorway. She looked alot like Jasmine. But instead of yellow eyes, she had green eyes. "oh mommy! this is a friend of mine." Jasmine said and ran to her mother and grabbed her hand to drag her over to me. "a friend you say." Her mother said and walked to me. "what's your name?" She asked. "uhmm...j-james." I stuttered because i was so shy. "i didn't know that my daughter had a friend. not many children other then the maid's children will come here in the palace. i know for sure that you're not one of them. so tell me boy, how did you get here?" She asked and knelt in front of me. I wanted to tell her. Maybe she could help me find my home again.
