Marked: Part 2; The Wronged

Chapter 91

Amilia came down the stairs as she always did the next morning. She grabbed her backpack and slipped on her shoes. She grabbed some toast from Oglm and then grabbed the handle for the door.

"Amilia." Oglm said coming over to her. Amilia turned around, chewing on the toast he had made. "Are you alright?"

"Hm? Yeah."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'm alright."

Oglm looked at her, concerned.

"Hey, we good, I have to kind of leave."

"Yeah, yeah, go on." Amilia shook her head at him and opened the door. She shut the door behind her and walked down the driveway. She walked to the road sign and stopped. Seconds later she saw Jasvinder and Elsie walking her way, until finally they reached the road sign as well.

"Good morning, Amilia!" The twins said together.

"Good morning you two." They turned and began to walk.

"You have a busy day, your majesty?" Elsie snickered.

"Ha, ha, Elsie. I always do though, don't I?"

"What's it today?"

"Oh the usual, you?"

"I have a little training today, but nothing too much."

"That's good." They walked up to the front door and Jasvinder held it open for the two of them. Elsie waved to then and then walked off.

"You're not overloaded again, are you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, your usual consists of a lot of things. Usually it consists of a long day for you."

"Yeah, well, I do have a lot of responsibilities." The bell rang and they parted ways for the day. School went off like it usually did, and ended the ways it always does. With a buttload of homework. Amilia waited for the twins like she always did. Then they began to walk like they always did. They made it to the road sign and Jasvinder kissed her goodbye and Amilia began to walk back to the house. She opened and closed the door, putting her backpack by the stairs. Then she walked through the kitchen and to the sliding glass door in the living room.

"Off so soon?" Amilia turned around to Oglm.

"Woah, you're not out of your robe yet, did you not go to work?"

"Uh, no, I suppose I didn't. But that's alright, I needed to use a vacation day anyway."

"Is your arm alright?"

"Hm, yes, why?"

"It's wrapped."

"Well, yes, I tend to hurt myself from time to time."

"Ah, ok." Amilia turned back around and opened the door.

"You know you can talk to me right?"

"Yeah, I know."

"When life gets hard, I'm here, Amilia."

"I know, thank you." Amilia walked out of the house, shutting the door behind her. She went through the woods and then through the Market. Only stopping when she reached Unora's lair. She put her hand near the wall, but then stopped. She put her hand down and turned away from the wall. Stopping only a second to look back before walking off. She walked to the palace and out to the courtyard. She saw the knights practicing, and immediately recognized Jasvinder. He was looking all around and she realized why. Leo was nowhere to be seen. She walked up to him and spoke.

"Leo usually isn't late."

"Yeah, I know." Amilia rubbed the back of her head.

"It's ni-" they both started at once. They both laughed.

"You go first."

"Oh no you, it's alright."

They laughed again.

"It's nice to see you."

"You too." Amilia walked off, but not too far. She waited another few minutes, but Leo still did not show. Amilia walked into the locker room and got dressed in all her gear. By that time the courtyard had been cleared out pretty well. Jasvinder leaned in the wall as he waited for his teacher.

"Hey." Amilia said, walking up to him.

"Wow, you look beautiful." Amilia blushed.

"Thank you."

"Are you training today?"

"Uh, no, they actually passed me. I just have to wait for the knighting ceremony."

"Oh, congratulations!"

"Thank you."

"Well, Lady Amilia, Sir Leo isn't here yet, and it's been at least twenty minutes,..."

"What are you hinting at."

Jasvinder laughed and then grabbed her hand. He ran through a door and helped them make their way out of the palace. "What are you doing?" Amilia said, stopping him.

"Running away."

"Running away?"

"Yes." He let go of her hand and looked around. "But we aren't really away yet are we?"

"Where are we going?"

"Let me show you." He extended his hand.

"I don't know, Jasvinder."

"Come on, let's get away from responsibility for a while. It can be just you and me, for the rest of the night."

Amilia laughed and then grabbed Jasviner's hand. He pulled her along again, all the way up to the surface, where he took her through the woods to a lake that they all had to themselves. Jasvinder stopped a moment and then regrabed her, dragging her into the water. They laughed, as they splashed each other, getting everything wet. Finally they both crawled onto the shore, collapsing onto their backs, looking up to the sky. Jasvinder looked over to Amilia and put his hand on top of hers. Then he looked back to the sky.

"Wouldn't this make an amazing life?"

"To be out in the wilderness without a care in the world?"

"Yeah."

"Yeah." She looked over to him. They laid there for a while and then they both sat up together. They were holding hands and looking over the lake.

"Now, see, this is the best part." He pointed over the lake. The sun was starting to set. Amilia looked at all the colors, the red and oranges, even the pink. She put her head onto his shoulder and watched as the sun disappeared from the sky. Then she looked to the lake as the moon shimmered it's light onto it. "Alright." He said standing up. "About time to take you home, my lady." Jasvinder helped her up and then they started walking through the first, playing all the while. It was pretty late by the time they got back, but Jasvinder still opened the door for her and bowed politely as he shut the door to leave. He did some fancy flips and Amilia laughed. She turned around, cold and wet, coming into the kitchen, looking forward to seeing Oglm. She stepped into the kitchen. But before she said anything she was stunned. Oglm was in the room with one other person.

"Oglm, who's this?"
