Chapter Six

When I wake up, I find myself in the helicopter, handcuffed. Two men were in the front, while one was right next to me.

He laughed wickedly, "Well, well. Our little Princess is awake now. Take a look at her boys, looks just like her mother,"

The two men took a look at me quickly and looked back to the front, "She sure does, and a little like her aunt,"

"Princess?" I ask, "I'm not a Princess,"

He laughs again, showing his ugly, yellow teeth. "Poor girl didn't know that she was in the royal family. Her mother must have wanted to keep her safe. Your mother isn't really dead, shes a Queen and so is her sister. We're bringing you to her."

"To my mother?" I ask, feeling a little excited but it goes away quickly.

"No, stupid girl, your aunt. She wants you, maybe that's why your mother was trying to hide you,"

The rope that held my wrists together were loose. I untied the knot, but kept my hands behind me.

"Why does she want me?" I ask, shivering from the cold wind.

"She wants to accept you as her daughter and marry a Prince of her choice. He's handsome, just to let you know, more handsome than the little rascal that tried to save you,"

My heart sank. Prince Adam. I'll never see him again.

"My job here is to let you know that if you ever speak of something about not belonging in this kingdom, I'll harm you," he says right in my face.

His breath is stale. Now that I can see clearer in the dark, I can see a scar across his face, going down his eye to his cheek. I wince when he pinches my arm. He laughs.

"We're preparing to land," the pilot says.

The helicopter lands and the man gets up and pushes me out. I punch him in the jaw and run towards the woods. My heels slowed me down and the man grabs me from behind. He puts my arms around my back, and tells me that I shouldn't have done that. He pushes me towards the castle from the landing platform. He enters and leads me to a room. He opens the doors and I see my aunt sitting at the throne. She looks a little like me. She smiles an evil smile and walks towards us. She wears a nice, black gown that falls to the ground.

"My, my," she says, touching my face and moving it side to side, "You look just like your mother," She looks at the man beside me. "Good job, take her to the dungeon with the other Princess,"

The man pushes me out the door and guides me to a door and pushes it open. The corridor is dark, but then lights up by firelight from the torches. He guides me down the steps. It smells rotten and stale. I see a small cell with a pretty girl sitting on the ground, she looks up hopeful but then she frowns. The man opens the cell and pushes me hard so that I fall onto the ground.

"Dinner will be coming in ten minutes," he says and leaves.

I look at the girl beside me and she stares back at me.

"Are you Princess Juliet? Queen Julie's daughter?" she asks.

"Yes, I mean maybe, I don't know," I say quietly.

"You look like her," she says and pushes her dirty blonde hair to the side.

"Who are you?" I ask after a while.

"You don't know who I am?" she says, looking disappointed.

I shake my head and she sighs.

"I'm Princess Luna. I got kidnapped, like you did, from my mother and father. Let's not talk about that. How did you get kidnapped?"

I tell her about the ball that evening and how everything went wrong. I look into her eyes and see that they are a light blue color.

She shakes her head. I hear a door open and see that my aunt has both of our dinners. Luna stands up quickly, while I just stay seated.

"Queen Jess," she says and curtsies.

She just smirks and places the food down through the slot. She turns towards me and smiles.

"I see that you have made a friend. Now tell me how is my daughter doing back at Prince Adam's castle?"

I feel a pang in my chest when she says his name and Luna looks at me curiously. "Daughter? Who's your daughter?"

She laughs and looks at Luna then me.

"Jessica, of course. How is she?" she asks me again.

"She's just like you, that's all that I can say," I say and look at the wall.

She glares at me then smiles. "Good, I see that she must have been doing you trouble,"

She turns and walks away, without saying anything more. We both take our small portion of food and eat slowly, making sure we savor every bite that we can. Luna looks at me and clears her throat.

"Do you have feelings for this Prince Adam?"

I freeze. How would she know? "Yes, probably,"

She smiles, "I have feelings for Prince Asa, the one that Queen Jess wants someone to marry. I've seen him before when I was a maid here a couple of weeks ago," she closes her eyes and smiles again, "He has nice, lovely blue eyes and dark brown hair. He makes my heart melt every time I close my eyes and think about him," she frowns, "But he doesn't know that I exist,"

"You can't be sure of that," I say.

I hear the corridor door open and see the man that kidnapped me come in. He comes towards us and takes our trays from us.

"I heard there was a ball coming tomorrow morning," he says, "And you two have to clean up the ballroom."

He unlocks our cell and opens it. We sit there, thinking that this was a trap.

He sighs, "Come out or the Queen will change her mind about letting you attending it,"

We both quickly get up and walk out. He follows behind us and tells us the directions on where to go. When we enter the ball room, we freeze. The ball room was massive, but beautiful with flowers, velvet curtains, and marble flooring. In the middle of the room was two buckets and rags. I frown.

"Get to work girls and don't try to leave without finishing cleaning this place up," he warns us and leaves.

We walk towards the buckets and get to work.


---------------------------------------------------------


After we finished cleaning the floor, we had to clean the windows and curtains. There was a ladder and a duster next to the door. I went to grab it and placed it in front of the massive window.

"I'll go up and clean it, I've done it before," Luna says, "Hold the ladder so it doesn't slip and fall down with me on it,"

I nod and hold onto it while she climbs. I hear a noise coming from the door. I look towards the door and see someone peering at us but he hides when I turn around.

"Juliet?" Luna asks, "Are you alright?"

"Ummm, yeah," I say, glancing at the door and then looking up at her. "Continue," I say and smile.

She looks at me curiously and then goes back to work. I look at the door again and I see a boy with dark brown hair, blue eyes, and wearing a crown. I gasp and he hides again. Is that Prince Asa? It must be, thats the description that Luna gave to me.

"Juliet! Are you sure you're alright?" Luna asks, looking at the door to see what I've been looking at.

"Yes! I'm fine! I just feel I little tired,"

She raises an eyebrow and turns back to the window. After a while, she was almost to the top of the ladder. I fidgeted, worried that she might fall and that I had to go to the restroom.

"Ummm, Luna? I need to go to the restroom,"

"Okay, I'm pretty sure that the ladder will hold still for now. Just hurry up," she says.

I say okay and walk out the door. I look around to see if Prince Asa was there. I hear footsteps coming from the left of me. I look and see that Queen Jess was walking towards me, but she looks down at the carpet. I quickly walk straight and turn to the right but find myself at a dead end.

"Juliet? What are you doing here?" Queen Jess asks.

I turn around and see her with another maid.

"I need to use the restroom," I tell her, while curtsying.

"Did you finish cleaning the ballroom yet?"

I look down at the ground, "No m'am,"

"Well, get back to work then, then you'll get to use the restroom," she says and walks behind me to enter a room.

I curtsy and walk back to the ballroom. Before I get there, I hear a scream and a loud thunk.
