Waiting for the train to arrive I sat on my front porch. Looking at my bag I sighed thinking that this had to be my perfect nightmare. I had left the day I turned eighteen and vowed I would never go back but I was summoned and when my father sends a summons you learn not to disobey. From what I heard Dad has been ruling with a iron fist lately and the sounds of an uprising has been frequent.
I heard the sound of the train approaching and stood up. I looked at my home one last time hoping that I would return. Now I know you might ask is your home located next to train tracks? The answer to that would be no. Have you ever seen the movie the polar express. Yeah they were not off as the train is a portal between both our worlds. No body can see it but when it arrives at your door step you do not deny the train conductor.
A young porter jumped off the train and ran up to take my bag. He bowed and said, "Your highness its a pleasure to assist you on your journey home."
Giving a weak smile I said, "Thank you."
He gave a big smile and said, "I understand you been gone for a while Miss. The conductor arranged for a private room for you."
Sighing I said, "Thank you. I'm sorry sweetie what's your name?"
He looked at me and said, "It's Kline your Highness. Follow me please."
"Please," I said. "Call me Amelia. I am not fond of being reminded that I am related to the royal family."
Quietly he said, "Miss as much as I would like to I would be afraid for my safety."
Nodding I followed him to my private room at the front of the train. As we went through the few carriages I heard whispers of shock that the princess has returned.
Porter- Kline
