I watched kaida as she tried her best to hide from the prying eyes of the guards littered all over the palace
With her years of sneaking out she was already a pro at this
The only problem was me
Sneaking has always been a challenge for me because unlike kaida I was allowed to go out more often
I wasn't restricted at all as long as it was within the castle walls
Kaida quietly walked to the little door she found recently at the other side of the place walls
The distance almost numbing my legs
She elegantly held her dress trying her possible best to avoid mud that was almost everywhere as this part of the castle was hardly visited
Some even say it isn't part of the castle it happened to be within the palace walls
I walked behind her holding my dress up yet my dress was stained all over
I looked back fearing we were being followed
We soon reached the gate totally hidden by leaves blending perfectly with the trees beside it
Kaida casually pushed the leaves away
something she had done way more times than I could count
She stretched her hands to me not breaking contact with the door
"The keys?"
Her whispers so sudden my soul almost left my body
"Gosh kaida,you would have given me a warning" my voice louder than I expected
"Are you with the keys Elera"
I could tell her patience was running thin because we could be caught any time now
But I wasn't with the keys
I didn't even know we were supposed to use a key
"What keys?"
"Fuck it Elera I gave you the keys...Remember...the brown boxy thing " she said tugging my arms
"If it's the brown boxy thing it is in my room...Didn't know it was a key, I never even know you used a key kaida"
It was funny to me because I knew she wasn't going to survive today if she didn't see Orion
And there was no way the guard hadn't noticed her little disappearance
"We could break the lock, they would get it fixed in no time"
"If only it was as easy as you said,how do two girls break a lock "
She asked her face almost pitiable
"You are the princess not me"
I walked over to her taking out her hair pin
Too bad I'll have to alter the shape slightly destroying the pretty kirurugi hairpin
Her hair fell freely on her face as it was the basic thing holding her hair up
"Watch "
Kaida stared at me like I was about to waste her time right after ruining her hair
I shifted my attention from her as I crouched low enough that my face was just right above the lock
Something I enjoyed more than just living was probably picking locks I could even do it in my sleep
With a click sound the door creaked open
The light from outside illuminating the gloomy surroundings
I smiled proudly to myself as I heard kaida little gasps behind me
"You never told me you could pick locks she said her smile brighter than the lights from outside "
"Well...."
I barely finished speaking before she rushed past me almost making me fall on my knees
"There's this jewelry box I lost its key maybe you could help me open it….I've got a few pretty necklaces in there and I haven't even worn any..."
I watched her leave in a hurry her voice trailing along
Normally she would have begged for me to come along but I guess her beloved would have been waiting for too long for her to waste more time on me
She was a sight to behold
She ran, her steps elegantnt, her hair fluttering in the wind
I knew what we were doing was wrong but I loved her so much to say no
I chuckled to my self as I imagined the face of her lady In waiting after knowing she's missing
"Today is going to be fun"I said to myself as I closed the gate keeping the kirurugi In to prevent it from closing in on her
I turned ready to return to my room dusting the invisible dust on my dress
Kaida wasn't going to come back anytime now so I had to go cover her up
"Who's there "
I heard voices accompanied by footsteps
Seems like we were caught a lot faster today
Damn this nosy guards now I'm going to be dragged into all this
I stopped in my tracks as their footsteps drew nearer
Not moving but not turning to them either
I felt my lips lifting into a smile even though I was trying not to
My smile escalating quickly into grin
"They hadn't seen my face yet, have they?"
I thought to myself after all with the gate closed here was as good as dark
"Why not make a run for it"
"Today is going to be so much funnnn"
