Hilary ran, she ran passed other rooms, straight out of the lodge, until she was seeing trees and snow. It wasn't long before she collapsed on her knees and let out a piercing scream, which promptly woke up any animals in the surrounding foliage.
''This can't be happening—I'm not royalty, there is not freaking way, I could be a Princess,'' she tugged at her hair restlessly.
She fist one gloved hand over a pile of snow, forming a round sphere, and then she bluntly threw the snowball at a random tree, watching as it splattered, she continued to make a bunch of snowballs until her hand was soaked through from the ice-cold snow and she bore a little smile on her face.
''The way, how they're talking, it's like they think I'll just escape their story and take up Princess Lessons.''
''Yeah right, 'she scoffed.
''Screw that, I don't care if the Queen herself comes here, I won't go—'' she face palmed herself suddenly, ''Now I'm talking to myself.''
''Just great,'' she bit back a nasty retort as she glanced at the clear skies.
''God…is this punishment, or am I being Punk'd?'' she grunted.
Standing up from her cold space on the ground, she dusted off the remaining snow from her close and begun the ten minute trudge back to her cabin.
While walking back, she nearly jumped out of her skin as her phone, that had been hidden away in her side pocket, because she never went anywhere without it, it began to vibrate. Flipping it up, she answered, ''Yes Anna, I'll be back in 15—I'm sorry I'm being horrid, I'm just…having a really bad day okay, 'she muttered softly.
''What could be so horrible—I mean , I know you've been a little moody earlier, since you met the Princes earlier— what's got your knickers in a twist?'' Anna demanded.
''Too much to say over the phone, I'll tell you when I get back okay,'' Hilary trailed off.
''Wait—Anna screeched,
'' I'll see you then, but wait—did you see the princes again, is that why you're so moody? — She continued.
''Yes I'll see you when I get there—Hilary went to hang up but Anna still wanted answers.
-Have I seen the princes? — Hilary scrunched up her eyebrows, as she thoughts about her earlier harassment from the redheaded ape, err…Prince.
— Have you got the hots for Prince Harry now?'' Anna rattled on.
Hilary blanched and visibly paled.
'That's so wrong, to think of my brother that way, wait a tic, why am I referring to him as my brother already,' she thought miserably.
– What?—Seriously… How did you get to that conclusion? –for the rest of the night, let's not speak of it—Okay, I'm going. Bye.'' She hung up tiredly.
She was panting as soon as she reached her Cabin, having avoided all possible normal routes in order to avoid detection; she unlocked her door and was immediately badgered with questions.
''Did you see them?-''
''Are you going to see them again?''-
''Are they cuter in person?''-
She paused for a breathe but was cut off by an irritated Hilary. She gave her best friend her cheesiest smile. Hilary twitched and tried to fight the smile that was forming on her lips.
''So..?' Anna started.
Hilary held up a hand to signify to her best friend's for Silence, ''Yes I did see them, no I don't want to see them again, Ever…where's my hot chocolate?'' she replied.
Anna pointed wordlessly to the glass table that held two big mugs of hot chocolate and mini marshmallows in them.
Her feet navigated her to it, but to her, it felt like she was gliding as she appeared so suddenly with a mug of the chocolatelyest, sweet smelling, hot cup of coco, she was humming as she sipped it.
After taking another sip, she turned to an expectant Anna, who pouted at being ignored in favor of chocolate. Hilary rolled her eyes at her best friend's tactics before starting her story.
''So here's what happened…'' Hilary began.
''How do I react to something like this?'' she asked Anna, who seemed to be in shock, as she tried to process what she had been told.
''Anna?'' Hilary said worriedly.
''Annalisa?'' she repeated.
''Yoo-hoo?''
''Scooby, are you in there?'' she snapped her fingers in front of Anna's face.
''Marco—Polo?'' she continued.
''I ate the last Twinkie?''
''ANNA!'' she yelled finally as her friend finally snapped out of her stupor.
''W-Who? W-what?-'' Anna started stuttering.
Hilary sighed, ''I'm still me, you're still you, the only exception to this is, and that I may be related to royalty 'she stated matter-of-factually.
Anna paled and began taking sharp breathes, Hilary grabbed her shoulders and shook her, ''Snap…out…of…it…woman.''
''Remain calm, stay cool.''Hilary gave her two thumbs up.
''Remain calm?'' Anna said slowly, then she burst, ''How in the bloody hell, do I stay calm after finding out, all this.'' She screamed frantically.
Hilary shrugged, ''Yoga and tons of therapy?'' she suggested.
Anna grunted then proceeded to flop head first on the recliner.
''Why me?'' her voice sounding muffled.
Her best friend only looked amused then shook her head, ''Of course, you'd be the one to turn down being a Princess Hilly.''
Hilary looked up, ''I don't want to be a princess.''
Anna smiled widely, ''Keep telling yourself that love, everyone wants to be a princess.''
Hilary shot a disbelieving glance, ''Have you forgotten Anna, I'm not everyone, I don't want to live in a palace, get hounded by the paparazzi scum nor have my personal life displayed in a paper for the entire country to see.''
''So no, I don't want it.''
Anna's eyebrows shot up, ''you must really hate this.''
Hilary twirled a strand of her hair absentmindedly, ''you have no idea.''
Location: Same time…At the royal Cabin
Harry kept pacing as he continued to stare at the door, willing for his sister to return, or should he say, sister hopeful, as he needed test to really put all doubts to rest, if he knew his family well, they would demand it, if they found out that the princess was still alive and healthy.
He sent a silent prayer to him mum and hoped it was his sister.
William glanced at his younger brother in agitation, he was full of nerves himself, his hands had begun to ceremoniously fist themselves, and he couldn't stop thinking about it, about her.
''Bloody hell,'' he muttered, before folding his arms.
Their father had soon left the room, as Hilary had run off, no doubt to notify their grandmother and royal advisers for the next course of action.
There's way no way in hell, he would allow for his sister, if she was his true, hot-blooded sister, to be in the limelight, that they had been thrust into, even before they could speak.
It was rather disconcerting, how over-protective he now felt, more so, for Hilary, and he had just met her. Talk about insane.
''Would you stop pacing Red, you're giving me a headache,'' William called out to his brother.
Harry shot him a narrowed look before he walked to the mini-fridge and grabbed a bottle of water. Taking a few gulps, he calmed himself in order to think logically.
He may have a sister, a twin sister to be more precise, who was brought up as an American and had the temper to match his beloved mother.
''We have a sister,'' he breathed out.
''We still have to make sure, she is, the real deal,'' William pointed out.
Harry smirked, ''There's no doubt, it's her.''
''Let grandmother be the judge of that,'' William leaned against the wall adjacent to the fireplace.
His brother gave a weary chuckle before closed his eyes.
Tomorrow would bring new surprises.
