By the time I had finished sweeping, it was already night. I threw the broom

into the broom cupboard and ran to the dining hall. I saw Amy waving at me

on my right. She had saved me a place beside her. After loading my plate

with food, I came and sat beside her. She smiled. "How's your cleaning?" I

shook my head. "Terrible. My arms ached. I wish there's a holiday for us. "

Amy winked at me. " Theres no holiday. Only more work! We're the maids,

remember?" I sighed and shoved a forkful of meat into my mouth.

Suddenly I felt a sharp poke on my hips. I gasped. " Look!" Amy hissed. I

glared at her and turned to look. A boy slightly older than us were walking

along the corridor with a girl. The hall were soon filled with whispers. I could

make out some words from the whispering. " Prince Darren is here!" "He's

gorgeous!" "I can't wait to see him in person." Amy bit her lip. She looked

quite sacred. " Hey, what's wrong?" She grabbed my arm and took a deep

breath. " I am afraid the prince will feed from one of us jow that he is awake! I

don't want to die yet!" I patted her hand. It felt cold and clammy. " What do

you mean he is awake?" "Well, he has put himself to sleep during the war

which many people died. They said it was for his safety. Since they put him

to sleep, he did not wake. Not even calling help. When we asked our

goddess, she said he will wake but not now. So after five hundred years had

passed, he woke and I suspect he just woke up from a deep sleep." I

clamped a hand on my mouth. "Gosh, that was...." Amy smiled. She was

feeling a whole lot better now. The whisperings had ceased.

After dinner, some of us had to wash the dishes but not me and Amy. We

hang out in my room, talking about our favourite hobbies and places. When it

is already nine, Amy said goodnight and went to her own room. I brushed my

teeth and changed into a pink night gown. I climbed into bed and set my

alarm to seven because we have to be there by eight.

( Darren )

Taylor came to visit me tonight. She seemed to be happy about my

awakening. She came and sat on my bed. "Darren, its good to see you wake

from a nightmare." I shook my head. "No. It wasn't a nightmare. I started

having good dreams since you put a spell on me. I hated leaving my

dreams." Taylor sighed. She wrapped her fingers round her curls and began

pulling it. " Don't pull your hair like that. It will ruin your scalp!" I said, pulling

her fingers off her hair. "Darren...I have something to ask you." "What is it?"

She bit her lip and looked at me. "Do you love me?" My heart started beating
