Coming For The Crown

Eighteen

I have been going back to Amara's room every day since last week. We have learned a lot about which other. I have even learned more about Elliot; I can say the feeling in stomach as grown. I may need to talk to my mother about this feeling- no I shall ask Elsie. She would know more and be able to talk to me better than my mother. I stand up from my bed, today I have nothing going on and I do visit Amara until later. I walk into my closet and chose a light pink sweater with a white skirt that has pink and red flowers on it. I put my hair in a messy bun, then I put a pair of white flats. I make sure I look go for Elsie; she is my sister-in-law which puts her above me.

I grab a bag before walking out of the closet and my room. I walk through the castle; I should tell mother or father where I will be. "El!" I hear someone yell, I turn around to see Blaine coming towards me. Annette and Audery are right on his heels. "Yes, you three?" I look at my little siblings. Blaine is smiling while the girls are giving a death glare. "Are you going to Jonah's?" Blaine asks, I nod my head figuring out what is going on. "Yes, but you are staying here." I tell Blaine I watch as he rolls his green eyes, "Will you please tell father or mother where I will?" I ask Aubery, she nods her head. I smile at them, then turn around. I can hear them start to bicker as I walk off.

I walk down the hill to Jonah's house, there hut is not too far from the castle. I see their hut over the bottom hill, I look down at the village I can see from the hill. It looks so small, yet it's big. We have one of the biggest villages in the western part of country. The village is immaculate, superb, and exquisite. To say the least I'm very proud of my kingdom. I shake my head and keep walking to the hut. I wonder if Elliot likes the village, and much they commandant for us. I know If anything that happened my village would be right behind my back.

I am almost to there when I see Kate sitting in the yard. When I get closer, I can see that she is making a flower crown. "Kate!" I call out, she quickly turns her head to me. She drops her flower crown and runs over to me. I hold my hands out for her, once she is in my hands, I pick her up above my head and spin her around. I put her down after a minute of spinning around, she is smiling so bright. "Aunty Elan, you won't believe what I did yesterday!" She yells and I smile at her. "What?" I ask while looking confused- I already knew what they did, but who's her that. "We went to see mommy's parents!" I open my eyes and mouth, put my hands on my cheeks. "Did you really?!" I ask pretending to be shocked, she nods her several times. She tells me everything they did, and what she learned about them. I nod, shake, comment, but I always smile. This little girl is so adorable, I just wait to have one.

Before I realize I am in the hut, and I keep laughing at the mother daughter bonding movement going on in the kitchen I am in. Elsie is a good listener, a good mom, and tries to help anyone she can. Jonah made the right choice to pick her over the kingdom, he picked which was closer to his heart. "Lewis, go play outside with Kate!" Elsie yells while in the kitchen with me. Kate has to beg her mom to tell Lewis to go play with. That was the scene I was just watching play out. Lewis comes to the kitchen, "Do I have to?" He asks his mother; she nods her head and points to the door. He sighs and walks out, not before waving to me. They are both my little buds, and I love them with my whole heart.

Elise looks at me when she hears the door close to the outside and has made sure he actually went outside. I let my smile go and let my head fall into my hands. "Oh, sweetheart, what's wrong?" She walks over to me and starts to rub my back like I am a sick child. I shake head and look at her, "I don't know, to be honest." I in a groan, I just want to know if I am okay or if I should have gone to the medical people. "Tell me what's going on." She says letting her motherly voice come out. I explain to her everything, from the heat in my cheeks to the feeling in my stomach. She is shaking her head when I am, now I'm more confused, concerned, and anger.

She starts to make her and me some tea, I think she is trying to make me feel better. I don't know that to take to feel better. "Eleanor," Elsie says making me snap out of my thoughts, "You have nothing to worry about. What you have is a crush on Elliot and because of this his daughter is now yours in your mind." She says with a soft smile on her face, which makes me feel better. Wait- did she crush on Elliot!

I stand up and look at her like she has lost her mind. I surely do not like him, that would be wired. "No, I think you are wrong." I say making her shake her head. She turns around when she hears the kettle scream. She picks up the kettle and starts to pour some into cups that have tea bags in them already. She puts the kettle back down when she is done filling the cups up.

"Do you think he is cute, handsome?" Elsie asks me.

"Oh, he can be so cute sometimes, he is very handsome man."

"Would you try to save him from anything and everything?"

"Yes, of course."

"Then you have a crush on him." She points at me; again, look at her like she has lost it. She smiles at me. "Tell me what does he do in the morning?" While at is an easy answer, all these are really easy. "After he wakes up, he goes downstairs to him and Amara food. He takes the food back upstairs only to be going back downstairs in five or so minutes to get something to drink." This is only the breakfast; I know his whole day and he knows mine. "You know his whole day, from yesterday to tomorrow. You know what he doesn't do on some days, you know what he likes to eat for every meal." She pauses, I nod my head because I know all this stuff about him. "Then you have a crush, Elliot." She says before taking a sip of tea.

After drinking the tea that Elise made, I was out the door. I have a crush on Elliot, I have only had a crush on one person. That person had said that the feeling I had was a crush, I believed him because he was older. I thought he knew best, which I didn't find that he didn't know the best. I didn't even look at the village as I walk past the clearing. I just need to Amara, and then go get a bath. Should I try to stay away from him, or should I try to tell him how I feel. I don't like this at all.

When I get to the castle, I go straight to Amara's room. It's almost time for me to be coming in there, what difference does it make if I'm early. I head up to the door thinking about all the things to say to him now. I don't know what to say, nor what to do. I should've asked. I hear Amara and Elliot talking the closer to I get. "Do you really like princess Eleanor?" I hear Amara asks; I amuse to Elliot. "How could I not, she is caring, sweet, kind, and a whole list that can go on for a while." He says and I could feel my heart grow (at least that's what it feels like). "But do you like her like she will be my new mommy?" This is the question that my heart begs to be answered. "Sweetie, I like her but she will never me your new mommy." I don't know what to make out of that sentence. Does he like me as in a girlfriend or just a friend. How does he see me? How does he like me? I need these answers.
