Don’t get caught be quiet I chanted in my head as I scaled the outer wall. I’d looked for the blind spots where there were no guards for awhile last night. After the meeting. Meeting, that’s a very formal word for what was going on. Really this whole thing was crazy the war, the secrets, the laws. But I suppose what could I expect, I’m a princess after all. I’m supposed to be with a prince or at least someone of high status. Princes are all pompous asses though, they think there better than everyone due to there upbringing and status. With great caution I look both ways making sure there’s no guards around then book it to the forest. If I’m caught I could be sentenced to life in prison for treachery or death for supposed spying. War is a terrible time, but sadly even if there was no war this would still be illegal. It’s just unfair my sister gets to be happy but I can’t. Hearing a twig snap I look behind me, probably just a squirrel but you can never be to careful. Then I’m at the spot we’d agreed on and I wait. Suddenly I find myself immobile, I’m a pinned to the tree behind me and I can’t move anything. Not my arms, not my legs, and I can’t yell or I might alert someone that I’d snuck off. “Were you followed” the person hisses I look close and see those beautiful emerald green eyes I love so much. “No, you scared me I didn’t recognize you” I say they scoff and slip there pointed witch hat off. There long curly hazel hair falls in waves down there back. “Well at least the hat did it’s job” she says “I love you, Eve” I say. She smiles “I love you too, I promise we’ll find a way out of this, we’ll fight for our rights” she says. We smile at each other and enjoy the limited time we have together.
