Chapter 2

The fair princess, Jesse, stands on the balcony. She is now closing her eyes and letting the wind mess around with her hair. 'Strange. The wind is never blowing durning the night. The days are in charge of the breeze...' Jesse thinks but she immediately ignores her train of thought when two girls and a boy walk up to her. "Hey Jesse. Queen Luna told us you were out here." A soft voice says. Jesse turns around and sees her friends. "Hey Olivia. Hey Petra. Hey Axel. What's up?" The princess asks as the stars begin to show up in the sky.  "We wanted to see if you wanted to go night terror racing to the day kingdom like we used to as kids!" Axel says with a excited smile on his face. "C'mon Princess! I'll be fun." Petra says. Petra was the only one of her friends who has ever called Jesse princess and lived to tell the tale. "I'm sorry but I can not go. I have responsibilities." Jesse says with a big sigh. "C'mon Jesse! Your coronation isn't for another two months. I'm sure you can spare one night for fun." Olivia sighs. Jesse bites her lip before looking at her friends. "Dude, please? We promise to have you back home by midnight." After exhausting all of her options, Jesse takes a deep breathe. "Fine, I will go with you, but only to get you out of my hair."

The night terrors neigh and growl as they ride the princess and her friends on their backs. The night terrors were pets to the people of the night kingdom and they would never hurt anyone unless provoked. Jesse closes her eyes as they ride and she tries to focus on who she has to be in the next two months. She tries to focus on who she is meant to be. 'In the next two months I have to be graceful, Polite, Responsible and Queen. How am I going to pull this off? Will I be a good queen? What if I screw up? What if I--' Jesse's thoughts get cut off by her friends. "Jesse, you okay? You seem out of it, like you don't wanna be here." A voice says, but it is so distorted that Jesse has no idea who said it. "Huh? Oh I'm fine. Hey, there it is! The kingdom of the day. Meet you guys at our regular spot?" She asks and the three of them nod before they all ride off in different directions. Jesse rides slowly but she stops riding when she reaches a giant palace. She looks up and see's a boy, about 19, sitting on the castle roof. In normal circumstances, she would flee in terror or run by what she saw but something told her to stay. The night terror neighs at the princess, quietly. "I know bud. I know we shouldn't be here but there is something about that boy... Should I take a closer look? I'd be really quick." She says and the terror growls against it. Jesse bites her lip and looks at the boy. 'This boy is different than what mother told me the days would he like. Should I go to the boy? Should I meet my friends? They might get worried.'

A) Jesse should go investigate the boy
B) Jesse should meet up with her friends

This choice will determine a lot of the book.
