• "Sir, are you alright?" a young seamstress asked making her way to a man that had just collapsed. She touched his forehead as he struggled to answer. He was sweating and very clammy, but underneath the hot skin he was gorgeous.He had long black hair that tied behind his neck and magnificent blue eyes, although they were closed at the moment so this seamstress had no idea on who this man could be. She only knew he needed help, not of his royal background, which would have clearly shown from the blue eyes.

    He was young, 17 or so, he had been on his way back home. It was a scorching day and he only had a few more streets to go before he made it to the castle. But he was hungry too and so he stopped to ask a man on a street corner for a small bite of something to eat. The man had given him a banana, but it wasn't a normal banana. Not that anyone could have seen it from simply just looking at it. As he walked he felt himself getting more tired, oh well, he thought, he'd be home soon. But he didn't quite make it home before falling to the ground his legs giving out.

    He heard someone speaking to him. He tried to say his name but he was so tired and it seemed nice to think about sleeping. When the stranger continued talking then began yelling he finally grunted. "I-i-I am Julius." he muttered tiredly, he had yet opened his eyes to see the stranger. He heard it, it was a girl. She was making sense now.

    "You'll be okay, Julius." she said dragging him across the sidewalk in through a door. Julius had figured he'd be safe now, he was tempted to open his eyes and look at her, but instead kept them shut and fell to sleep.

    When Julius woke he was lying on a bed a wet cloth on his head. "Ello?" he called quietly to the room. There didn't appear to be anyone there.

    He heard footsteps and the door opened a small girl with yellow hair and dull brown eyes popped her head in. "He's awake Jessy! He's awake." she yelled back out into the hallway excitedly. Julius heard more footsteps and another girl came through, although she was a bit older say, 15 maybe 16. She had deep brown hair and a nice set of green eyes.

    "So he is, Alexandria." she said smiling at the little girl. "Go back downstairs and finish what mum told you to do." the older one told. Alexandria sighed but did slump back down the stairs.

    Julius sat curiously watching them. Was he home? Where was he? This wasn't home? Where was his food? All these questions running through him. All while the older girl walked toward the bed her dress swaying at her ankles as she sat down. She gave him a nice smile.

    "Hello Julius." she started before looking at his eyes. "You have amazing eyes." She said thoughtfully, before touching his cheek. "Oh I'm terribly sorry that was very rude." the girl said bashfully her cheeks going red.

    "It's alright, and thank you. Am I allowed to know your name?" he asked, Julius had recognized this voice when she spoke to the little girl, it was the voice that had told him he'd be alright.

    "Yes of course, I'm Jessebelle, but you can call me Jessy everyone does." she said, her hand settling in her lap. Julius nodded.

    "Jessebelle is a nice name." he complimented. "I do think I should be getting home." He said sitting up. Jessy shook her head pushing his chest down.

    "You passed out an hour ago you won't be able to go anywhere yet." she told him caring like. He sighed.

    "If I don't get home soon, they'll send a search party out. I wasn't supposed to leave in the first place." He tried explaining.

    "You're the prince aren't you?" she told, not really needing an answer just needing confirmation. She looked at him hard for a moment and he nodded. "Yes so I can't very well return you home looking like you just got into a fight." she said pointing out a few scratches he'd gotten from falling and the wet clothes from sweat. "I'll make you a new jumper and you can borrow a pair of my father's pants." she said nodding as she got up and made her way out of the room closing the door behind her.

    "Jessebelle I'll be fine going home without new clothes." he said snapping his fingers as she closed the door. Julius tried standing up but couldn't quite do so. It was getting dark, he might as well spend the night. It wouldn't be safe to go out this late.

    Alexandria came back up the stairs and opened his door with a tray in one hand. "Mum said you would want something to eat." she said giggling and setting the tray on his lap once he'd sat up. Julius thanked the small girl and asked her to keep him company while he ate his dinner, he wasn't accustomed to eating alone.

    Alexandria spoke to him while he ate, both sharing stories and saying there ooh's and ahh's. Once he had finished Alexandria smiled taking the tray from him and skipping downstairs.

    Julius lie in bed quietly trying to get himself to sleep. He was almost asleep when he heard a loud BANG from the down stairs.
