The Lost Princess: Chapter Four
Lila thought she was just a normal girl, but one day she comes to find out that she is actually a lost princess from another realm!
LILA*****************************************************************
I could feel their eyes on us; on me in particular. I knew that I should move out of his grasp, but I also knew that if I did I would probably collapse again. I pulled my gaze from the floor and looked at the convivial looking man who had just spoken. He was wearing a long, white cape with matching gold and white clothes underneath. He had a crown on his head and a big jolly smile. He looked utterly amused. "He must be the king," I thought.
"Met my daughter, have you, Jude?" He king chuckled. I guessed he was talking to the beautiful man I had just been kissing. I looked at Jude, he was embarrassed but he didn’t’ let me go. He probably knew that I would fall again if he released me.
"Uhm, yes you’re Majesty. I have. I found her in the hallway. She seemed confused and weak. Then she fainted and I caught her." He replied.
"Yes, that is what Bridgette said."
"At least she has finally awoken," said a beautiful woman, whom I could only assume was the queen. She was dressed similarly to the king in a floor sweeping gown. When she said this, everyone in the room turned to look at me. I felt so childish, clinging to the waist of a man I didn’t know, with so many people staring at me. They appeared to be expectant, as though I would have something to say. I said the only thing that came to mind.
"I’m really hungry." It was true. I was absolutely starving.
Everyone in the room laughed. I kind of smiled and looked down.
"Of course you are darling. You’ve been unconscious for nearly two weeks now," Said the queen.
I jerked my head up and looked at her, wide eyes. I was suddenly very angry.
"Two weeks!" I screamed, letting go of Jude to stand on my own. My fists were balled up at my sides. I had no clue why I was so angry, but I couldn’t stop the harsh words that tumbled out of my mouth.
"I’ve been here for TWO weeks?! Why? What the hell happened?"
"Verona-" said Jude, gently touching my arm.
"No, don’t you touch me! That’s not even my name! I want to know where I am; why I’m here; and what the hell happened?!" Now that I had gotten all this out I could feel my anger ebbing away, but I kept my fists balled and stared at the king and queen with eyes like daggers.
They looked at me calmly and then looked at each other.
"Her hormones are still very unbalanced." The queen said nonchalantly as though she were commenting on the weather.
"Don’t worry, darling. They will sort themselves out soon enough," Replied the king, patting his wife’s hand.
"That or she inherited your tendency for dramatics."
They both laughed and then gazed into each other’s eyes for a moment. I was very irritated at their nonchalant attitudes. This situation was hardly funny.
The king tore his eyes from his wife’s and they looked at me again. I had calmed down a bit, but I was still hungry. Sheesh, these people really needed to cut to the chase and take me to the kitchen.
"Now, before we get to your questions, let’s get you something to eat, shall we?" The king asked me in a fatherly voice. He held out his hand and I took it carefully. We were about to leave the room when I heard the queen clear her voice.
"Yes darling?" The king turned to look at her.
"She will need proper clothes." I looked down at my bare legs and realized that she was right.
"Oh, of course dear. Might as well just bring the food up here then."
A large woman in a maid’s uniform stepped up and said that she would take care of me. The king, queen, and all the other’s all left the room. Jude stayed, looking at me.
I gazed back at him. He was such a mystery. The large woman in charge of me went to him then and shooed him from the room telling him that it was indecent for him to see me in my night dress.
She shut the door on him and turned to me.
"Hello dear. I’m Bridgette."

FIRST, Sooo sorry to the short chapter!!
Okay! I hope you liked it. Still not much action, I know. At its like, super short. I was going to make a really, really long chapter that told you all about Lila and the situation at hand and blah blah blah, but I have copious amounts of homework to deal with. I plan to write a new chapter tomorrow that will give all that. Sorry again!
Zy: Girl...that made NO sense at all. Just saying... >.<
Thanks for all the comments as well guys!
