    STORY WILL ALWAYS BE TOLD FROM LYCIS EYE UNLESS SAID OTHER WISE AT TOP OF PAGE

    The next day I was awoken by my maids. They had already laid out an outfit for me and had my bath water drawn. It was quite annoying I've always been the independent type of person. I don’t like depending on other people because I always tend to get let down. I waved them off and crawled out of bed. I dropped a coconut bath bomb into the water and watched it swirl and bubble as I took off my night gown. It was a nippy day. In fact, it was so nippy the Steam from the water spiraled and coated the surface of the water. I crawled into the water and let the warmth take over me. The most soothing feeling in the world is a nice warm bath after a tiring night of endless dreams. I dreamed of Jaime and his wolves... Here come the questions again. Who is he really? Why do the wolves obey him? Is he an outcast? Why didn’t he kill me? I held the wolf tooth necklace in my hand and inspected the shiny white sharp tooth as I asked myself many questions.

    "LET GO OF ME!!!"

    Yelling and scuffling filled and echoed down the halls and to my room... and first I didn’t care. This is normal during war. Then I realized, the voice sounded familiar. I listened again and I heard the guy yelling. Could it be Jaime? But how? I quickly jumped out of my bath, threw on the puffy pink dress the ladies had set out for me and rushed down the stairwell without shoes, or my hair done. Bewildered my mom shot me a look. She expects quality of my appearance but I was focused on what was on the ground in front of the throne... or should I say who? Thrown onto the palace floor in front of my father and mother was Jaime.

    "We caught him sneaking along the edges of the bushes this morning"

    The guards had Jaime pinned so he couldn't move. He did raise his head and gave me an intrigued look... he had his head shoved back down.

    Disgusted my father raised his hand and waved him off to the dungeons... as he was being dragged away Jaime raised his head again and we made eye contact. He gave me a little smirk.

    Although I obey every command of my parents... I did owe Jaime my life. After he saved me from the fire and nurtured be back to good health I wasn’t about to just let him rot in jail. I couldn't just command it to happen or ask for it either... I would be in so much trouble!! I waited till around noon before I went to go visit the dungeon. Around this time, I occasionally would bring the prisoners their food. I wore an extra puffy dress to take up more room. I had a plan. I get to Jaime’s cell and he looks at me and whispers that it was about time I showed up. It's as if he knew I would come... annoyed I rolled my eyes. Glanced around and let him out. I motioned for him to follow me. Jaime silently follows behind me and every time a guard was coming I would motion for him to go under my dress... It was so puffy no one would ever suspect a thing. It’s also a good thing I always wear shorts with my dresses!! The guards start yelling and running around frantically looking for Jaime. And ask that I return to my room for safety reasons. I keep Jaime under my dress till we get to my room. It was quite difficult! We had to climb a huge amount of stair to get to my room at the top of a tower.

    "Jaime you're going to have to stay in my room till night. It's not safe for you to go out in the open."

    I approach him and he sits on my freshly made bed. This semi frustrated me but I try to hide the frustration.

    "Well I'm glad you care!"

    He smiled at me in a different way and his cheeks shined a tad bit brighter red.

    "I see you're still wearing the wolf tooth; this must mean we are friends!... but it might be best if you kept the tooth hidden or tucked into your shirt."

    I turn away smiling. This guy is something else, and he's my enemy. but I cannot help but feel a little chemistry with him. As he looks put my window I peak a glance and see how his eyes sparkle in the light.... then he turns his head and raises his eyebrows at me and gives this quirky smile... caught... I quickly turn my head flustered and go back to what I was doing as Jaime observes Tortuga.

    "Bang, bang, bang..." my door began to rattle and shake and a deep voice sounded from the other side.

    "The king ordered that we do a mandatory search of every room to insure safety. You're going to have to let us in or else we will barge in."

    Startled Jaime and I exchange a worried glance. I run to him and hide him behind my luscious pillows of my bed and crawl into it. I begin coughing as they come in and act sick.... they search and search and there is never a sign of him. So they all leave but one. One taking advantage of the moment comes beside my bed and asks me how I am doing. Pretending to be sick I explain to him I'm doing okay but could be better. He reaches to my night stand with a closed fist then points out muy door frame and how it might need some repair from its old wood. I peeer over to my door and see it is a little old and agree with him but what an odd thing to say. I turn to look at him with a questioning look but he greets me with instead of an answer a cup full of water.

    "Drink, It will help you feel better."

    Just trying to get him out I take a huge gulp.

    I manage a smile. "I feel better already!"

    He continues talking to me and as he talks his words begin to slur and get slower. My eye lids begin to get heavy. I stare at his lips and his mouth is moving slower than his words. How weird is this. I begin to nod off and eventually I'm out.

    *****************************************************************

    The guard pulls down lycis sheets and thinks of how he would love to take advantage of this moment.

    Right then Jaime pops out from behind all the pillows scaring the guard and knocking lyci almost off the bed. Jaimeny stands tall and grabs the surprised guard by the wrists. Disgusted by the attempts this guard was making on his new friend, Jaime had no remorse for him.

    "Is this how you respect your princess?"

    Speechless the guard sat there dumbfounded for a moment then managed to break his wrists free from Jaimenys grip. This was great for the guard for a moment but Jaime was too quick. He ended up beating the guard with his fists and eventually the guard took a step to far back and fell to his death out the window of Lycis' tall tower.

    Jaimeny realizing what had happened knew he had to leave quickly before anyone would notice the body or before the guards cae back to get their fellow soldier. He looked to Lyci who was half way off the bed then decided he could at least make sure she wakes comfortable. Jaimeny rearranged her pillows then laid her against them. Then he pulled the cover over her to keep her warm.

    As he turned away he looked to her desk and saw extra scratch paper and her quill. Jaimeny quickly drew something and crumpled the paper leaving it in the unclutched hand of Lyci. He looked back once more before making his escape down the tower to retrieve the body of the guard and to get back into his forest.
