chapter 3

I woke up groggily wondering where I was, I remembered being with mother in the woods playing......... I stood up immediately from the unknown bed I was lying on just to feel sharp pain at my chest, I looked down to find it bandaged. I broke down, I can't believe my mother stabbed me because of the throne, wait a minute how am I still alive, because anyone stabbed that many times would be buried seven ft under the ground by now.

"Hello is anyone here" I shouted.

I heard the door opening just to see a well dressed man on the other side.

"Oh you are already awake, how are you doing" he said.

"Well I am okay I guess, by the way how am I still alive" I said surprised, because I was stabbed more than once and I don't think anyone can survive that.

"Yes about that, the head hunter found your body deep down in the forest waiting for wild animals to feast on. What were you even doing there in the first place and who stabbed you" he said.

Tears were already threatening to spill from my eyes but I maintained myself.

"Well you didn't answer all of my questions, especially the most important one that is how am I still alive" I said waiting for his answer.

''Just thank your lucky stars that the person who stabbed you was not experienced and missed your vital organs'' he said.

I breathed a sigh of relief wondering where I was, now that I think about it this room is huge and decorated grandly.

"If I may ask, what is your name and where am I" I asked

"Well I can certainly answer that question, my name is cooper james the head of the palace guards and you my dear are in the number one palace in the world'' he said

''Oh my, don't tell me....silver's palace" I said shocked.

Now for those who are wondering what is silver's palace, it is the largest palace in the world and the people who own it are very powerful and rich and not just anyone can come here. We are technically neighbors but we hate eachothers gut, I am pretty sure they would have allowed me to die if they knew who I was, the more reason to leave here now.

"Okay thank you very much cooper, I should get going before people start worrying about me'' I said.

''Where do you think you are going, if my hunch is correct the person that stabbed you is in very much where you are going to,right? ''he said

"Oh my how could I forget he is totally right, if I go to the palace now they will still find a way to kill me and this time permanently. Tears flowing freely from eyes now, where would I go to now and the silvers practically hate the stais family or else I would have asked for a job and sometime in the palace until I am stable.

"With the way you are crying, I will take it that I am correct. Yes before I forget you were practically also in coma for a week '' he said.

''Did you just say a week" I said feeling dread in my stomach, now there is no hope of going back home and my brother is practically king now.

I didn't hold back the tears this time.
