Strange Waters

Kiss her hands, then

  It was quite an evening for Sandy. Safe to say she has had better days here but it was a good thing she was beginning to feel herself more each day as she kept on surviving. Her long list for adventure was here and as Ibinabo had said, the necklace brought her wishes to reality. Maybe this was all she ever craved but maybe it came at the wrong time and at the expense of others. As she walked her way to the castle after the great feast she saw the Prince just by the sides of the garden besides the royal castle. With a bow and an arrow aiming into the sky and shooting arrows up above. She hesitated at first but then she knew she had ignored him enough through out the feast. So she changed direction and headed towards the prince. "Excuse me Miss, you're not allowed that way. I was assigned to see that you take to your chambers and places you're only demanded to be. Kindly follow this way miss.".. the guard who followed him pleaded. She was surprised to hear him talk. So she stared at him sarcastically and went ahead to mock him in a bid to get the Prince's attention. " Wow, I mean that was the first time I heard you say anything to me and it's not nice at all. Fine! I will go to may cage then".... She said heading back toward the pathway to the castle. She hoped to hear the prince ask what the problem was or call her back but it seems like he never noticed the little drama she had left to the air. It surely got to her but she remembered he was looking drink earlier so she walked faster back to the castle just to get some sleep and take off the dress. She hated it. Maybe. Or maybe she was so mad at herself for not being able to get what she wanted at the moment and then everything seemed to piss her off. Including the fact that she was still here, she had hoped to one day wake up in the ship and go back fishing and listening to boring tales of sea monsters and pirate attacks. While Grandpa Murdock would teach her everything she needed to learn from adventures but it didn't seem so. Sandy found it hard to cry but as she finally had a mirror, she could literally fo alot of self reflection. So it was now easier for her to let tear down whenever she looks at herself and remembers the time she used to take for granted. 

Tears, like love was hard to come by, so she chinned up and took the dress off. Wore herself some of the robes she got from the maid that looked like clothes she could sleep in. She had a bucket with water right beside her bed. She took a bit and washed her face. The light from her window once again caught her attention and she moved herself towards the window and climbed a stool this time to see what was outside. The cold breeze hit her face and the sound of people still merry Making filled her ears. It seemed the feast wasn't over yet. She stared down and saw the prince still shooting arrows to the air, and from.there she could see it fall from the sky Into the waters. She stood up there for a while and them decide to go to bed. She had a hyper spirit earlier but now she just wanted to rest her head against all odds. As she prepared herself to lay, she heard footsteps by her door and then she waited to hear a knock but nothing came forth. She thought maybe one of the guards were moving about or rather trying to position themselves at the doors. She ignored it and then the shrugs and footsteps came back again and this time much more closer to the door she could almost see men's boots right under the door. The stood there for a while and then returned back again. She was now more than curious to find out who this was so she slowly stepped forward to the door and opened it in a rush and a hand hit her nose. Right there she saw the prince standing with his hands about to knock before she opened the door and his hand fell on her face instead. Another awkward situation but this one both of them had a laugh and it was a good one even though the prince was little concerned for her nose. " It's fine, just a little knock won't break it. Do you want to come in?"... Sandy asked him. He stood, still a little shy and hesitant then he nodded and took a walk in. Sandy closed the door behind him. He took a look across the room. "It's been a while I entered here. Alot has been done here. It seems my father really likes you. This used to be the strong house. She stored up food from the harvest here. But it seems it suits you better." Prince Jath said. 

She looked at him in confusion but was sure he was referring to her. Because he talked so calmly like he was reminiscing his past. Well that was a far fetched story and she had idea. I mean she only arrived her few days ago and she has only seen so much to say. Sandy asked him for some clues to the reason why he was shooting to the sky. It seemed like a total waste of arrows and if he did that on purpose then the mist be something on his mind that bothered him.

"You saw that?. Well, its not easy to say I don't have alot of friends here but it's easy to say everyone here knows who I am. It's been years and and my father still feels like I am not fit for war."... .Sandy even more confused. She stood up and asked him for a better explanation a to what he meant. The prince took him time again to vent out to Sandy, he wasn't really happy with the position of his relationship with his father over what he can handle and what he couldn't. It was always up to him to go after all what he desired. But that wasn't really the reason he came to Sandy's room. He wanted to apologise for the way he ignored her and treated her like she wasn't the one who kept him calm when they were both captured and there was nothing he could do to help. 

" Hey, I sincerely want to thank you for supporting me through to this moment and I hope we can find a balanced ground to keep our bond. It's safe to say you saved my life, not just mine but I feel your bravery saved us all."... Prince Jath said taking Sandy's hands and giving her a kiss on it. Sandy felt his lips rub against her hand. It was hard for her to believe it, but it actually happened. She blushed and kept on staring at him as he stared back. Again the awkwardness lurked in.

"Do you want to take a walk? I mean its late but I don't feel like going to bed anytime soon. Can we go to the lake please? I want to bath in fresh warm water."... Sandy said to break through awkward stares and also she actually meant it.. she really wanted to visit the steaming lake one more time. Especially on a cold night like this. The prince smiled on hearing this and asked if she was sure she wanted to go out of her room. It could end her in some trouble. But if she doesn't mind the. He was willing to take her pass through guards at the castle down to lake. "You're going to come with me, aren't you?". Sandy asked the prince to make sure he understood that she wanted him around the lake. "Yes!.. if you wish". Jath laughed and held her hands out of the room as the head out to the lake excited.
