Thickets of colors surrounded me, most were green of course, but there were flowers that had taken all hues from the spectrum. Even the trees here seemed larger than the ones on New Port. 

"This place really is strange." Awe took my voice. 

"Even with the birds for clairvoyance, I'm still only seeing trees." Andrew complained.  "Hold it... I see a clearing..." His finger lifted towards the North. "Keep heading that way Darren, we'll catch up."

I took a sprinting position and dashed forward.

"Damn he's fast." Samantha groaned. "How long is that walk to where he's heading?"

"Trust me princess you don't wanna know..."

Red encased her lips perfectly, Lora took into account that everything about her was perfect. She leaned back in her chair taking a quick glance at her phone that was vibrating, the smile went from her face once she saw that it was not a call from Chris.

"What?" She rudely answered.

"Answering your father in such a manner is a bit too much." The voice replied.

"Look dad I have a date." She continued fixing her makeup. ."You got the reservation I asked you to book?" Lora's didn't turn from the mirror but the reflecting nod of one of her bodyguards was noticed. "Atlas Hotel doesn't really take late notices."

"Lora." Her father's stern voice came through the phone.

"Forgot you were on." She sighed. "What did you call me for anyway, and if it's about that marriage contract I already told you what I think of that oaf from the Sanchez family. Matter of fact it's why I moved here far from you and that other idiotic family."

"They might come for your new boyfriend." Her father's sinister voice tried scaring her. "And I can only vouch for you..."

"Let them try." Lora smiled. "Chris isn't some bumbling idiot who'd get scared of the mafia." She hung up and looked through the window seeing the boy of her dreams descend from the sky.

Lora Pierre, the only daughter to the Pierre Mafia that resides in the Great States near Draconian Archipelago. There are two rival families, the Pierre's and the Sanchez's. Blood had taken the streets of the Great States because of the feud between these two influential families, soon a peace treaty was being made through a marriage contract between them. 

The son of the Sanchez family was to marry Lora, however Lora is a rebellious spirit. She took a few guards with a mass amount of money and moved to New Port meeting a guy she thinks is a great deal better than Tiko Sanchez...

Heavy silence took the small room, Lora's father Stephen gave a dissatisfied sigh.

"As you can see Tiko." He began. "She wants nothing to do with the marriage."

Tiko chuckled, his rage well hidden in it.

"She's a handful, just like I've heard." He stood up. "Why don't I go to New Port and see what kind of guy she's into." Behind him was his number one body guard. "Cain let's scare that little bastard."

Once they left, Stephen's wife Cassy entered. 

"You should warn her." She sighed.

"No." Stephen sternly rejected the notion. "She must learn that this world won't stop turning just because she feels like it should. I think I spoiled her too much."

"Your a real show off." Lora smiled.

Chris had her in his arms while taking flight, pictures were being taken relentlessly of the two in the air by many of the people below.
