Drowning in Fire

The Mistresses Palace

I did not stop

I turned down the hallway trying to run as far away from kai as possible

My head was filled with thoughts of kai

His lips against mine

The way how he held me

He told lulia that he loved me

I know he probably said it to get her to leave him alone but it felt so real

Everything felt so real

I lifted my hands and rested them on my lips

They felt warm

I felt like smiling and screaming at the same time

I was so caught up in my head I didn't even realize that there was anyone around me

My body ran into another person causing my body to fall back

I hit the floor with a loud thud

" oh I'm sorry," I said trying to sit myself up

Before I could even see who I ran into my body was tacked back to the floor

"Wha-" I questioned

The body on top of me sobbed into my shirt

"Luna I thought you were doing to die" a female voice continued into my shirt

I looked down and saw a full head of fiery red hair

"Heather?" I questioned once again

She looked up at me with her makeup all over

She must have messed it up with her tears

After a while, I couldn't contain my laughter.

"Heather is alright" I giggled

But this only seemed to make her cry harder

"Heather" I pleaded with the crying lady on top of me

"Stop trying to tell me to stop crying, you are my only friend, you are my best friend and you were almost killed" she yelled once again back into my shirt

I had then realized that she did care for me and she was worried. I've never had someone cry because I was hurting

I sat in silence and let heather finish crying

A while later she finally sat up and wiped the tears from her eyes

"Sorry luna but I was so scared- oh my stars, luna your shirt!" she exclaimed

I looked down to see it was covered with her makeup and dark eyeliner

We have to get you changed

Within an instant, I was pulled off the ground

And pulled through the hallway

I glanced around the castle

There were maids busy at work some glancing up occasionally to see what was the commotion

We then ran out this large wooden door that led us outside into the castle courtyard

I hadn't been in the castle courtyard before

It was beautiful there was a manmade lake that rested in the middle of it

The grass was soft and lush and trees filled with all sorts of fruits lined the perimeter

" This is beautiful!" I whispered out loud

"Nah you have even seen the outdoor backgrounds" heather responded without looking back
