The Soulmate Mark

C H A P T E R 4

There they were, the two soulmates roaming around the castle. "Well, here's everything". He said with his deep British accent."Wow," she said in amazement. "It's honestly not that exciting it's just a castle.". "I know but there isn't castles from where I'm from like your mother said.Besides this can't be all of it.There must be more like a garden ,or an activity room, or library ,or how about your room.I.. didn't mean like that I just want to know where your room is in case I need to see you". "Ugh yes we have an activity room and library but those places are boring trust me." "Well they aren't to me". "Well, clearly you are boring". "I am not for your information." "I'm not in the mood for arguing.For the record my room is off limits and it is on the other wing of the castle.I like it that way.Let's keep it that way.The garden is pretty nothing since clearly there are no plants alive around here so that question is irrelevant." "No it isn't I swear I saw one on the way coming up here and with alive plants." "Fine, we do, but that is also off limits." ''Why''. "Can you stop asking so many questions and the garden is the one place where I can go and no one can bother me,". "Aw the prince has a cute little hiding spot". "I honestly can not wait for you to leave,". "Well you can't get rid of me yet I do still have a year,". "Whatever, just go in your room and get ready for later". "What's later?" "Are you serious they didn't tell you we have to go down to the village,". "Oh ok,". "Don't be late,". He said before walking away.

"I can't believe him".She said before entering her room.When she entered her room she was in awe.Her room back home was pretty and big but this one beat it.There was a high ceiling ,the room was huge ,the bed was so soft and comfortable and there was a canopy draping over it.She instantly went to grab her phone to take pictures and to call her friends while she got ready.But there was no signal.She got frustrated and threw her phone.She put on a short flowy floral dress with puffy sleeves,she had light makeup on,her the same from before but without the headband,she put on some jewelry,and small heels.Before she grabbed her bag and sweater she tried one more time to get a signal.She decided to climb on her bed to see if that would work.She finally got some connection until Xander came in the room and said "What are you doing?''.She looked over and then she fell off her bed but Xander caught her.She smiled when she looked up at him. "You do know there is no connection here right.We don't do technology here." "Right I knew that". "Well are you ready". "Yep" she said standing up. "Are you sure cause you look like you are not." "What do you mean". "Nevermind let's going we are going to be late". She grabbed her things and off she was.

"You still didn't tell me why we are going''. "Well...augh". He said wincing in pain.''Are you okay". "Yeah it was nothing.Um we are going cause my parent's wants the village to meet you plus there is some kind of problem in city hall." "Ok.But are you sure you are okay I can go get someone to help". "NO...I'm fine seriously''.They continued walking down to where Xander's parents were but Athena couldn't help but worry about Xander.She wanted to know what just happened.But she kept quiet.When they got down stairs Xander's parents looked her up and down. "What's wrong". "Oh nothing it's just no one here in our kingdom really wears bright colors."The queen said with light disgust in her voice. "Oh okay I guess I'll work on that". "No it is fine it's just odd that's all". "Well it's time to go" the king said.Athena knew she was out of place but now she knew for sure.As they got in the royal carriage Athena said "Are you sure you want me to come". "Yes of course we do".The queen said while looking at her husband.
