Chapter Eleven-Hidden

(A/N) By the way, this thing, "*", is also for when Jenna is writing. Hope you enjoy this chapter!!!

Jenna
"Princess Jenna Dazzlegem of Dragonheart, wake up, Your Majesty." A gentle voice floated into my ears. It sounded familiar, but I was too drowsy to care right now.

I pulled the blanket tightly over my head and rolled over. I heard an exasperated sigh.

"Wake up or I'll start screaming." The person hissed. Is this-

She drew in her breath.

"WAKE UP JENNA! YOU COULD DIE IF YOU DON'T OR SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN!"
She screamed into my ear, causing my head to ring nonstop.

I sat up quickly. I could die? I turned to see my only real friend, Miri, smirking smugly at me. She opened her mouth, and I was probably expecting a little friend reunion or something, because her next words caused me to shove her lightly.

"You snore." Was all she said to me before glancing briefly at a girl who I haven't noticed before.

Miri probably then realized that I was a.) staring off into space, b.) flustered because I can't say anything, and c.) awkward because I don't know what to say at all, because then she handed me a piece of papyrus and a sturdy ink quill accompanied by an ink pot.

"So, Jenna, how is life at the palace?" Miri asked, eyes shining.

*Erm, well...* I wrote, but quickly realized that I have a lot to catch her up on. My hand will eventually ache after I finish writing. But I guess that's what I get for being an "unfortunate soul".

I hesitated, then scribbled down, *Miri, I know this is shocking, and maybe even impossible, but the thing is...* I stopped dramatically.

"What happened, Jenna. Tell me!" Miri begged.

*I'm engaged. To Prince Arthur Celestialwind of the kingdom Skyfire.* I finished writing.

"Oh mah gawd! I am so happy for you! My little baby girl has grown up finally!" Miri gushed. She must have noticed my sad face, because her smile slipped off and it was replaced with deep concern. "Jenna..?"

I quickly scrawled, *Don't worry, Miri, even if I don't like him now, I will eventually love him in the future, right?* I forced a smile, even though I feel a tinge of guilt pulling on me for lying.

"I guess..." Miri's small, doubtful voice slowly trailed off.

I swallowed down my pain and commanded my hand to stop writing, for I fear it will write the hurtful truth.

Believe in it, Jenna.

Believe in this lie you were told over and over again throughout your whole life by everyone, including yourself.

Nooo! How about a little cheery vote to make Jenna feel better? ;)
