Episode 2

I was laying in bed looking at the ceiling, it was greenish blue and was peeling of certain places. The walls were yellow and the floor wooden brown. The Castle staff were very nice and introduced us to the queen, every room in the castle looked very nice, fancy and beautiful except the guest rooms. I was about to go make tea when suddenly someone knocked. “Miss Vantoria Elise this is the castle staff knocking, we were just wondering if you wanted anything to eat or drink?” I stopped my action and replied, “you know what? I could have some tea.” I was about to lay down again when I realized they called me miss Vantoria Elise, thats a little too fancy for me.. I ran to open the door and yelled down the hallway. “You can just call me Vantoria!” The staff turned to look behind them smiled and nodded. “We will note that Miss Vantoria.” I smiled they insisted on still using the word “miss”. Still a little too fancy in my opinion but thats fine. I layed down and closed my eyes just for a few seconds.. Screams woke me up, what was going on? Suddenly i felt arms around me, hugging me tightly. “Vantoria help me! Ants invaded my room!” It was Aloea she was hugging me. What a scaredy-cat. “Ants?” I said, “yes ants god why does everyone ask that? Just help me get them out!” How does she want me to that now? “How am i supposed to do that?” I realized that she was still hugging me. “Aloea get off of me!” I yelled, her eyes wided as she realized how long she actually has been sitting on me for. “Oh gosh im so sorry Vantoria!”

She jumped off of me and sat beside me.

“Im so tired” Aloea said as she rubbed her eyes, “i wonder why i really wonder..” I said sarcastically she puffed me in the side and said. “You know damn well why im tired so stop being sarcastic young lady!” Aloea took a t-shirt and sat at the couch. “Im older then you, you do know that right?” Aloea smiled and said, “yeah i know but the word young lady makes a sentence sound more serious.” I laughed. “It doesnt really have the effect of being serious when you say it to someone older.” Aloea rolled her eyes and stood up. “Wanna go eat something? Im starving.”

Breakfast consisted of toast, eggs, bacon and tea. It was delicious so delicious that Aloea didn’t speak one word. The kitchen staff came and asked us if we liked the food. “Yes, it was very delicious!” Aloea looked up with her mouth full of eggs and mumbled. “Yes thank you it tasted very good!” The kitchen staff smiled and took away our plates.

“That tasted amazing!” Aloea said with a big smile on her face, “it indeed did!” I said and laughed. “You know the general said that we have the day off so wanna do something?” Aloea almost begged. We went down to the beach even tho it was freezing outside. The water was splashing against the big stones on the beach, the sounds were calming. “I love being at the beach.” Aloea smiled and layed her head on my shoulder “me too.” We stayed at the beach for 2 hours and headed home afterwards cause it got cold. “Sorry that i kept you awake all night Vantoria.” Aloea looked down embarrassed, “its fine and we almost got all of the ants out so no worries!” I said and smiled. “The idea of setting a trap was great just, put an apple on the floor cover it with honey and the ants would go to eat it and then get stuck in the sticky honey!” I smiled and felt very genius while Aloea stopped walking and turned purple. “Ants dont get stuck in the honey, Its not a trap its a dinner!” Oh gosh instead of catching the ants we made it worse. “Its fine, we can just call castle staff and they’ll fix it!” I said and ran to the castle staffs office. “We need help! Ants invaded Aloeas room, we need you to get rid of them now!” I yelled at the castle staff. They looked at me confused and asked. “You’re talking about Ms Aloea Gessele?”

It was the youngest of the staff that asked. “Yes thats her please help us.

“Many ants have invaded the room, it could take up to 2-3 days to remove them all.” Aloea looked sad as the pest control said that. “What now? I dont have anywhere to go!” Aloea said frustrated. “You do though, you can just stay with me” I said and pulled her in for a hug.
