My Knight in Shining Armour, Chapter 2.

Chapter 2

    It’s Time

    My Food Finally came. “This looks surprisingly good.” I say to the guard. He nods and leaves. For breakfast I get oatmeal, with sliced bananas, and sugar. I eat quickly. I haven't had something like this, since before my mother died. I hungrily eat and polish the oatmeal off. The guard comes back not long after I finish.  He silently opens my cell door, I look up. The king comes into the room. “Beatrice.” he says calmly,
 “It’s time” He looks into my eyes. I start to panic. What does he mean? It’s time for what? Did I do something wrong? Is he going to kill me too? Running into the room comes a puppy, I blink. The king laughs as the dog licks him.
 “I felt you were getting lonely in this room, cooped up all of the time.” He stated. 
“Who will walk her, who will get her food?” I question.
 “Every time you get food she will too. After you have both finished one of my servants will take her outside and bring her back.” He declared. I immediately ran to him and hugged him. A guard steps forward and directs me to step back. I hurriedly pull away 
“sorry” I whisper. The king nods and leaves. I sit down on the bed and the puppy comes at sits at my feet looking at me. It is a very small dog a touch bigger than my foot. It is a very light brown with spots of white here and there. Its belly is all white. I lean down and look at the tag on the collar. Tessie. I look at Tessie. She wags her tail and lets out a happy yip. I smile and lean down and pick her up and place her on my lap. She happily lays down.  
I grab my notebook. Time for my plan to start into action. About an hour later I’m ready. I have written  “Help! I’m locked in a dungeon in the King’s dungon. I haven’t done anything!” on 15 pieces of paper. It took me a while because Tessie kept bugging me, nudging my hand wanting me to pet her. When I am sure no one is near I fold up the papers and then let them fly out the windows. ‘Now we wait’’ I whisper to Tessie. A guard comes with my lunch and I’m glad because I’m starving. Today’s  lunch is pancakes eggs and bacon. I know it sounds good but it’s not. The eggs have mold in them,The pancakes are as cold as ice, and the bacon smells rotten. I turn it away. I’d rather go hungry then be sick in this place. The guard sighs and takes my food. He feeds Tessie some dog food that he brought and he leans down to pet her. I  had never ever seen a guard smile but now I have. I guess puppies have that effect on people. I guess the guard notices my look, because he explains that he has a German Shepherd at home. He tells me that my dog is actually his dog’s baby. I nod and he picks Tessie up to bring her outside. Then not long after, the guard comes back and gives her to me. A few minutes I hear footsteps coming my way. The king stands by the cell door, he picks up Tessie.. “BEATRICE WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING!” he throws the papers he had in his other hand at me. I pick them up. 14 pieces of paper. My plan had failed. Hope was lost. He shook his head. He unlocked my door and came into my room and reached for my notebook. “NO!” I kept screaming at him as he snatches it away on his way out the door. He drops Tessie, too. He closes the door, and locks it and storms off.  I rush to check if Tessie is ok. She looks fine. I lay there on the floor crying. Tessie comes to me and licks my face. I pull her closer to me and continue crying.  
 A little while later a guard comes and gives me dog toys. I look up and thank him. I play with Tessie. She loves to play. She growls in a playful way, which makes me laugh. We play, and play, and play until Tessie stops and lays down to sleep. I smile as she snores. I hear footsteps as a guard brings me my supper. I have never seen this guard before but I don’t think too much off it because the king is always getting new guards. My supper is delicious. A hamburger and fries and a chocolate bar for desert. The guard must see my surprised look and he almost looks terrified. I eat quickly as he feeds my dog. I give him my dishes and he takes Tessie outside to the bathroom.
