Brielle exclaimed, her eyes growing even larger than they were. She had heard tell of passages around the school, but again because of her parents, she had been afraid to set her eyes out. She couldn't get into trouble, but the way Presley talked seemed to pull her adventurous side out. She had read of many books about students going in and out of the castle whenever they had wanted to, and she wanted to be one of those. Shrugging off her foreboding feeling, Brielle nodded at Presley. "Do you think you could show it to me? I won't tell anybody, if it's what you want," Brielle answered, trying to control the glee in her voice.
Okay, Presley may have overestimated her knowledge of the castle, but she had found a number of in-castle-passages. Nevertheless she decided to tell Brielle her new plan.
"Well, I've been thinking, that maybe if we go into the forbidden forest, I mean, maybe there's a way around the gates! The forest is so huge there's no way the whole thing is fenced in! The problem is, I really don't want to go into the forest alone, are you up to it?" Pres crossed her fingers and hoped Brielle wasn't scared of the forest. In truth, it terrified Presley, but she would never tell that secret to a soul. Wait, back up, Presley's life was more interesting than someone else's? This had to be a new thing. Well, she supposed it was interesting now that it was mentioned, but she, under no circumstances, had a perfect life. Her mum....well, had been who she was. And her father wasn't a kid-friendly type at all. Especially not after what happened. The only letter Presley had gotten that entire year had simply said 'The Bahamas for the Holidays is fine with me. Your brother suggests France.' So, interesting, probably, happy, no way.
