I dreamed of Cody and my father. My father giving my hand in marriage to Cody. I awoke and gathered up my stuff. My body still felt off. I just couldn't believe I had done it. I escaped. I was an uncrowned princess. After putting out the fire, I travelled into town. I traded a small chip off of the ruby for a silk pillow and a wool heavy blanket. I then went to where Cody worked. He worked as a blacksmith. I walked in an he grunted and didn't even look up. "Well, that is a nice way to treat me." I say with a smile and this time he looks up and he just has this amazed look on his face. I run over to him and hand him something. He unwraps the small gift and he gasps, and try's to give it back. "I can NOT take this, emerald!" He says and I push it back to him. "Keep it." I say showing him the major hunk of Emerald. He takes the rest of the day off, and we have a small picnic out in a nearby meadow. I unwrap the blanket that held cheese, sandwiches, grape juice, apples, and some pieces of caramel candy, which we barley even have in the castle, because the ingredients are very hard to come by. After a fabulous meal, we just laid on the blanket. Watching the sky, as the slow clouds moved. Suddenly, I hear the clink of armor. "What's going on?" I say with panic. "I had to tell them. You aren't safe with homeless people waking among the streets. I could loose you. This is my way of saying goodbye." Cody said as the guards picked me up and I screamed. Tears running down my face. He had done it. He left. He broke me.
