I saw a girl weeping over the coffin of my pretend dead body, my parents were so ashamed of me wanting love in my life that when i had run away on the eve of my arragned marriage they said that i had died. So now there was a closed casket funeral for me.... Princess Keesha of Agraba.... at least that was what my title was.... but Queen Jasmin still ruled and i was merley her closest relative and the only heir to the throne. I had watched the whole funeral procedings, my family had paid their tribuets but only one person remained to cry over my fake death... the only one at the funeral who didn't know this was fake.
Wildflower.
I was dressed in rags, the uniform of street rats. I walked up to Wildflower... unlike me she had been married for a year now and was 18 i was turning 16 later this year.
"Why do you weep over the body of someone like the Princess?" i came up to her and asked.
"She was my best friend, she'd read me stories of far off places and noble handsome princes... i miss her soo much." she continued her weeping. I placed a hand on her shoulder and knelt beside her, wiping the tears from her eyes.
"WHAT ARE YOU DO........ Keesha?" she looked white as a sheet, like she'd seen a ghost... of course to her i WAS a ghost
"No, don't worry i'm alive, i ran away when i found out i was to be married... after all your letters... i just couldn't..... i'm sorry." i clutched my arm and looked away i couldn't face her, after she had bravley faced life married to a man she dispised, a man who was pure evil.
"Don't be," she said coming close and turned my head to look in her eyes. "i would have done it too if i had known... and if i'd been as brave as you." We both now had tears in our eyes.... even though we were born with privledges there was still a cost to such a life.
"I'm so glad your alive." We hugged each other, and thought about how much we would miss each other when she left.
We entered her room, laid with cushions and silks and sat down.
"Keesha, if you can run away, your biggest fear, and be free from... from this, Then i can face mine." She pulled a dagger from under her skirt,
"NO, what are you thinking??" i yelled, she placed the dagger in both my hands and made me clasp it.
"PLEASE, i can't do it. I've tried so many times, please. Your my friend, your the only one i can trust, to do as i wish."
"NO, i can't. It's because i'm your friend that i can't!!" i began to tear up again at what she wanted me to do. She raised my hands and the dagger to just near her heart.
"Promise me that you will see how beautiful the ocean is, how wonderous it can be."
"Stop being stupid, i won't do it!!"
My hands held the dagger but her strength drove it through. Not a single gasp came from her, only a single tear and a small smile. She pulled me in close and whispered in my ear.
"thank-you"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..." I woke with a start and was gasping for air.
I looked around at my surroundings... i was in Ximh's room, i had a blanket over me and Ximh was gone.
When did i fall asleep? Ximh must have woken up and disided to return the favour of being nice.
I continued to breath heavy, but at least now i was able to catch my breath more. After a while i got up and wstood in Ximh's room. I personally wanted to just stay were i was and not move, but this WAS Ximh's room and he most likely would want to be by himself whenever he got back.
I just stood there, for some reason i couldn't move. I felt a tear running down my face, i went to wipe it away, then i noticed that it was drool.
"ewwww, gross" i wiped my hand on my uniform and sighed. So no matter what we nobodies were thinking we were uncapable of crying. good, no point making everyone else uncomfertable with my useless tears. The past is the Past and there's nothing you can do about it. You gotta put your past, behind ya.... Were have i heard that line before??

If anyone wishes to find me standing in Ximh's room for no apparent reason, off in my own imaginary world... GO FOR IT
