Asterin

Blade?!

Asterin crept beside Cascade the whole time. At the night, there were mostly thieves and murderers. Especially in the forests. 

"Alrighty, this is past the point where my family owns the forest stay close to me," Cascade spoke.

"Aren't I already close?" Asterin rolled her eyes. Cascade smirked beside her.

They kept walking a few more feet until they got to a dead end covered with leaves and moss. The wall of nature, or what Asterin called it, was about 7 feet.

With a swift move, Cascade moved her hand left, while all the moss and nature followed her hand, opening a walkway. Cascade held Asterin's hand as they stepped through, going into the "danger zone". Without looking, Cascade moves her hand and the wall closed back. 

It was really dark, although Asterin was pretty much fine with it. 

They kept walking more until they heard a twig snap.

Asterin had her hand covered in the shadows, while Cascade made a sharp sword with leaves and wood. 

Cascade let go of Asterin's hand and moved her free hand at the bush where the twig had snapped. The bush had uncovered a tall boy with fine body shapes.

"Blade?!" Asterin shouted confused, letting go of the shadows.

"Asterin?!" He shouted confused as well.

"You to know each other?" Cascade raised her brow, setting down the sword.

"I wish I didn't." Blade rolled his eyes.

He brushed his brown fluffy hair, pale skin shining in the moon, as he stared at us with his fierce black eyes. Literally black.

"Long story short," Asterin started. "He's from the Onyx Kingdom. The Prince to be exact, Our kingdoms are friends. But obviously, we hate each other. He was just swinging his sword, and then my favorite horse came in the way, you probably know what happened. I still miss Bermuda." 

"He killed your horse? Him?" Cascade raised her voice. Asterin felt proud because she thought Cascade would beat the shit out of him. 

But instead, she laughed, grinning evilly. "You look rather, how shall I put it," Cascade chuckled in a low tone as she continued. "WEAK." 

Blade and Asterin looked at Cascade shocked and confused.

"All I heard was that you stabbed the horse. Should've slit its throat."

"Cas! What the hell?!" Asterin said heartbroken. Blade was smiling at the comment Cascade had said.

"Your name is Cascade? I've heard about you. It's a pleasure." Blade smiled warmly putting his hand out.

"You don't look too bad yourself." Cascade winked, obviously flirting. 

Asterin was fuming on the inside, as jealousy took over her.

Cascade is flirting with BLADE?! I have told her BILLIONS of times that I HATE him! More than anything! And in return, she's FLIRTING with him?! No, Asterin what are you thinking?! You don't like her.. do you? She probably doesn't even like me in that way. She probably doesn't even like girls. How could I like her? I can't be with her. We're the opposites.

Asterin thought, feeling tears forming. 

Blade could see her almost crying. Although he doesn't like her, he cared about Asterin. She was the only one who could understand him. The only friend he really had. Blade quickly pulled his hand back at his sides. "I'm taken." He smiled fakely glancing at Asterin, who was already staring at blake dead in the eye, confused.

"Well, I'm truly sorry." Cascade looked at Blake apologetically. 

"Uhm anyways, where are you guys headed?" Blade asked.

"Well, we were heading to see Blanche," Asterin spoke her voice cracking, still thinking of them.

Blade still felt sorry for Asterin and felt guilt filling his insides. "Ah, me too." Blade announced. "Oh? So you know Blanche as well?" Cascade questioned.

"She's actually my sister," Blade murmured quietly, but they could still hear him.

"What?!" Asterin spoke. Cascade's eyes widened. "Father didn't want me to tell anyone." Asterin put her hands on her hips. "Well, you're going to explain to me- us. Now." Cascade crossed her arms.

Blade fixed his armor and spoke up. "My father had a lot of sexual desires with other women. He would make his guards take women from his kingdom secretly, and have, you know, with them. Most of the women would agree for pleasure while others didn't want to disobey the king. If any of them got pregnant, he would force them to get rid of the baby. If they didn't and gave birth, he would kill the mother and the child. he didn't anyone to take his place. But then my mother came along. She was the kinkiest of them all. She came from a wealthy family and was really hot. Father fell in love with mother, and mother fell in love with him. They got married and had me. I was normal. They usually don't reveal their child until they know they don't have any abilities. Father and mother had another child, but when she was born she was freezing cold. So cold that when anyone touched her they would get frostbite. Father knew she had an ability and wanted her dead. Even if mother is really pretty and fearless, she had a soft spot for babies. She begged father for her not to be killed, surprisingly, father listened. He took Blanche to a cave where she grew up, alone. Father would ask me every month to go and visit her."

"Oh my god," Asterin whispered. Cascade had her fingers intertwined with Asterin's. "How did you come up with the name 'Blanche'?" Cascade asked tilting her head. "I wanted her name to have the first two letters like me. My grandmother speaks French, so she told me Blanche means 'white' in french. And surprisingly, She has snow powers, snow is white." Blade smiled.

"So you are going to her because it's the beginning of July?" Asterin asked. "Correct!" Exclaimed Blade. "Why are you going to her?" Cascade cleared her throat. "Asterin wanted to ask her something." Blade was still smiling. "Well, let's go! Oh and I'm sorry that she stole your crystal thing. I know they mean a lot because without that you want to have seasons. But I also heard that you guys re-built it. I don't know what she wants with it, but I'll have to ask her." 

Blade motioned his hand, a sign telling Asterin and Cascade to follow him.
