If I had known it would end like this, I wouldn't have entered this damned tower.
<<I'm not done with you.>> Speak Now tells me. <<But now I'm tired and my mother is over there, so we'll talk about it tomorrow when she leaves.>> she says, before hiding me behind the curtain again.
This is how I spend the night: behind a curtain, tied to a chair, and I have no idea where the crown is. Optimal.
I fall asleep for a short while, until I hear voices: <<Be careful and don't go out of the tower.>>
<<Yes, mother.>>
Shortly thereafter, Speak Now's mother is gone and she pulls me out from behind the curtain.
<<Here we are.>>
<<Where is my bag?>> I ask her.
<<You won't get it back until I decide.>> she replies.
Yes, okay, she thinks she's smart, but I'm smarter.
<<You want to see the Christmas lights.>> I tell her.
<<How do you know?>>
<<You told your mother yesterday.>>
<<Oh. True.>>
<<Give me back my bag and I'll take you to see them.>>
<<WHAAAAAAAAAAT?>> she almost scream.
She will tell me yes.
<<Okay. Yes, yes, okay, when do we leave?>> she ask me.
<<The solstice is in four days, so... today.>>
<<I'll keep the bag until I see them.>>
<<Okay.>> I'll steal it from her. I don't really care if she sees the lights or not.
She frees me from the chair and runs into the kitchen, starting to throw lots of things into a bag.
<<We'll need supplies, right?>>
I don't answer her and just watch her while she puts food, blankets and clothes in a bag. That bag will weigh a quintal.
She puts a sweater on over her dress, since it's very cold outside, and, with the bag on her shoulder, she tells me: <<I'm ready.>>
I have a feeling this is going to be a great adventure.
