April 30th- Boring Day

Today as I woke I smelled smoke. All around me was fire. My first thought was, Jerome. I leapt up and dumped the pitcher on the washstand on top of my burning nightdress. I glanced around for an escape. I grabbed a sword that was hanging over the window and did what I could to force and escape. I never thought that the door would be possible... I thought that the fire came from there but no, it was from my room. Jerome suddenly slammed open my door and grabbed my wrist. I grabbed you diary and followed him. He picked me up and practically ran out of the inn.


I must explain. I am a princess. No person knows this but you and Jerome. Jerome is my cousin. I told him I was a princess but he does not believe me. I ran away. I don't like being a princess. I feel so ... so! So I ran away to seek my brother. I am told he is dead but I do not believe it. I met my cousin at the Wildwood Inn and he agreed to help me. This diary is for my brother. His name is not known to me so I shall invent something by and by. If you follow me this far, you surely possess more patience than me. And now I must go for I always hate reading rambling things and here I am... rambling.

After we were safely out of the Inn Jerome took care of me. I'm not sure what happened for I was delerious and when I woke again I was in Mrs. Telcham's lovely home and my burns were hurting but better. I must now find out what is happening.

All My Love,

'Princess' Vicki
