Chapter 4

              Part 1: Eavesdropping Monster!

     After Grace’s long day that earning she still has mixed feeling’s though she has tried to quell them it seem that it is not going to be that easy, Trying to figure out how to deal with her feeling’s she decide’s to talk a walk, As she walk’s she mumble’s and mutter’s to herself Grace : Why am I like this.., I alway’s over think everything even when I try not to…, It’s like I’m a river that won’t stop winding into it’s self.., She sighed as she counted on walking through the hall’s Grace : I wish I had Mindy here I really need some life advice.., In that moment Grace heard a voice from behind her,

 ??? : Maybe I can help,

     Grace turned around quickly to see who was behind her,

 Grace : It’s you again,

     It’s was those same piercing blue eye’s,

 ??? : It seem’s we are both in the middle of a hard decision,

 Grace : So it would seem.., But I must say I do not appreciate some eavesdropping on me!

     Grace narrowed her eye’s at the man as he approached her he did the same, It was as though he was trying to intimidate her with his gaze but Grace did not shy away, After all this was not the first time someone was try to scary her off!

 ??? : I apologize if it seem’s that way to you but I can assure you that it was not my intention!

 Grace : ah, I see, Very well then I will be on my way if there is no need for me to stay,

 ??? : But did you not say your self that you needed advice from the Mindy friend of your’s?

 Grace : As I had said before I do not appreciate eavesdropping!

 ??? : I know I have ear’s I heard what you said there is not doubt about that! 

 Grace : Then will you please leave me alone! 

      The looked away from her as he sighed,

 ??? : All maid’s are the same they alway’s complain about their life but when you offer them help they turn you away,

     Grace looked at him with a puzzled expression,

 Grace : Who said I was complaining! I was only wishing I could talk to a trusted friend about a personal matter!! Who asked you to butt into what I was takin to myself about!

 ??? : No one, I just thought I could help…,

 Grace : Help me with what exactly!

     She looked at him with a frown on her face,

 ??? : When I was passing by and-

 Grace : NO! No, you were not walking by! You were eavesdropping!!

     The man sighed,

 ??? : I mean when I was eavesdropping, I heard you say you did not understand why you alway’s over think thing’s, And well, In my experience in training archery when one is unsure why they lost there ability to shoot an arrow straight they first check to see if the condition’s that they are in is what is impairing there ability to shoot straight, If it is no that the they check there arrow to see if it itself is straight, If it is not the arrow then it must be the bow so on and so forth, So in your case the place you are in is your condition’s your state of mind the arrow and the problem you are having the bow, you need to figure out which one is not right before you can truly say you are over thinking your problem,

     Grace pondered for a moment, Was this eavesdropping monster in front of her right? It did seem as though his logic was somewhat sound, And if so which part of her dilemma was not right?

 Grace : You are right, In some twisted way.., I guess I must thank you kind Sir for your advice!

 ??? : You are welcome, Crazy Lady!

 Grace : WAHT DID YOU SAY!!!! GET BACK HERE!

     The man rushed off before grace could reach him,

 Grace : Why that not good……,

      As Grace go’s to make a remark about the eavesdropping monster she released that she followed his trail mindlessly and she now has no idea where in the castle she is,

 Grace : Oh Well isn’t this just swell! I'm lost now!

     Grace start’s to wonder around looking for a familiar place.
