Chapter 33: "An Invite From the King!"A Chapter by Emunah June."An invite from the king! How lucky you are!"
I jump and turn around at the voice.
A small little girl in a rabbit costume waddles toward me, a big grin on her face. I have never seen her before, but yet I feel almost as if I know her. She grins ear to ear as she wraps her small hands around mine. "Oh! You must hurry! The king doesn't like waiting on his subjects," she warns, tugging on my arm. I pause, my mouth quivering. Where had I seen this girl before?
She ushers me back towards the building. I turn around, looking for a sign of anyone around me, then turned and followed her. Staying true to her outfit, she hops forward jubiently, looking back every now and then to make sure I'm still there. I cough, then stop. "Hey, little girl..." I start, and she stops to listen. "This king...what's he like?" I ask, trying to prepare myself for the meeting ahead.
She grins. "The king is the king! He makes the rules and tells us what to do. He makes it so that way we don't fall into utter chaos and ruin. The king...is all," she says gratefully. I scratch the back of my head and give a loud sigh. That didn't help me much. I crouch down to her level. "I meant...what's his personality like? Is he a nice person?" I ask.

I feel someone there.
I turn, and it's that girl again. She's standing, hands folded over one another and staring. It's almost like she wants to talk to me, but is too afraid to do so.
At this, the little girl jumps up. "Ahh! It's you! It's you! It's you! Where did you come from?" she asks with a giggle, hopping up and down and pointing at the girl. The girl doesn't move, simply continues to stare at me. Yet I can feel everything she's trying to tell me. I take a step forward, and reach my hand out to her. Her expression lightens.

She loves me. And...and I... © 2011 Emunah June.Author's Note
