There's Someone Always Watching

Mystery POV

"Hello Princess," I smiled, "How are you?" She trembled as I closed her door.

"Who are you," she asked, "Why are you in my castle?" I smirked.

"Don't you want to go outside?" She looked me startled. " and see what your world really looks like?" She nodded cautiously. "You'll have to come with me, then."

"Will I be coming back?" I shrugged.

"Possibly." I knew she was weighing the choices in her head. I held my hand out, waiting for her to take it.

She took my hand, and I led her out of the room. Down halls, and somehow through the gate of the castle.

"Hey," I heard a familiar Irish accent say, "stop! Come back!"

I looked and saw my old friend Niall running towards us, not using his full speed. I laughed, running with the princessand leaving him in the dust.

"Tessa," I heard behind us. "Come back! Don't go with him!" The princess stopped, just as I was about to leave the Astor grounds. She looked from me, to Niall, to the castle exit.

"Please Tessa!" He was pleading, a mere ten feet from us.

"Let's go," she said, and I walked out of the castle grounds, not looking back.
