Rivalry

CHAPTER 13: SPLIT UP

I woke and got dressed ready for the day. The maid told me to go to the grand hall for the weekly grand council meeting.
When I got there it was only the team that was there my grandparents weren't around.

"Hey guys, where's grandpa and grandma?". I asked smiling

"Your grandfather is feeling under the weather so your grandma is taking care of him". Mia said solemnly.

" I hope he'll be fine, anyways what are we doing today? ". I asked

" Today you're meant to go to all the Hystorican Kingdoms to sign a treaty also patrol Kamiral for damages that require fixing and arrange for them to be fixed". Miles said.

"Alright who wants to come along with me?"

"I will". Eleanor shouted

" Okay let's go "

"Your highness, Princess Kora wants to speak to you through the mirror phone she says it's urgent". The guard said giving me a mirror phone.

" What's up Kora?". I said gleefully.

"Chaos, destruction the witches are causing a hell of problems here in New York city. We need your help"

"But we all can't come to New York we have a mission"

"Please come up with something I'll try to hold them back. Bye".

" So what do you have in mind? ". Zack asked curiously.

" Split up 4 of us have to go back ". I said

" Who's going to volunteer? ". Miles asked

" Miles and I have to stay here ". I said removing us from the options.

" I'll go ". Mia said blissfully.

" Sure why not". June said

"Let's do this". Matt volunteered

" Fine I'll do it". Zack said completing the four.

"Zack you wanna go?". Asked a disappointed Eleanor. Note: they're together.

" Yes I do but I'll see you sometime promise". Zack said patting her head.

"Awww!!!!". June and Mia said together.

Zoey and I helped them pack, we were soon done and  ready to go.

" When do you think you guys will return? ". I asked

" When we can or when we receive word that something bad happened or is happening to you guys". Zack replied.

We said are final good byes and just like that the team divided, hopefully we'll succeed.

"So it's the four of us now with our dragons, since I have two tasks to do today why don't we split it. Two people to one task and two to the other". I grinned widely and gave them the puppy eyes.

" Tae and I got the kingdoms while Miles and Zoey you guys could handle  Kamiral ". Eleanor said.

" Fine we'll help". Miles said

"Thanks". I said smiling.

We got our separate carriages ready and we flew.

Eleanor and I started with Tangu.
We went straight to the castle.
" Who is it?". Said the guard at the other side of the gate of which I knocked.

"Princesses Ashante and Una here to sign a treaty". My Royal guard answered.

They let us in,
" Ashante, Una nice to meet you again!! ".            shouted happily.

"Nice to meet you too". We said together.

" Let's get that treaty signed".        said as he signed the treaty.

(Miles)
I haven't spoken to Ash since yesterday's event. I don't know what to do. Now I'm with Zoey we've arrived the village and now walking around checking for any damage. Zero damage that was nice to hear, job well done.

"This job was pretty simple and quick. Wanna hang out before we head back?". Zoey asked me.

" Sure"

"I want to talk to you about Ashante, something happened between us and I don't know what to do". I was sad and broken at the same time.

" Tell me everything ".
I told her everything from beginning to end.

(Ashante)
" Atlanta, Evermore forest and Frozen plains check, what's left? ". Eleanor asked

"That's all, home?". I asked

" Sure but we haven't hanged out in ages, I don't know what's happening in your life right now ". She  said sadly.

" You're right, the thing is I also need some advice it's about Miles. "

"Oh Zack told me about it, listen he's in love with you he can't help it. It's up to you to ensure that things don't go to fast. Another problem is that you try to convince yourself that you're not in love with him when you know that's a fat lie. True or false."

"Maybe". I lied or did I

"Maybe? Let's just go with maybe you should let the feeling flow. It's normal love him now to prevent problems in your marriage and friendship trust me".

" If you say so ". I said.

(Miles)
" You have to stay understand that it isn't her fault, she's not trying to push you away she's trying to be safe. Deep down I know that she loves you more than anything but she would never hesitate to do what's right. Tae is a very powerful being whether she likes it or not she needs you by her side more than anyone. She needs your love just at a safe distance, don't  make things look like it's her fault because it's not hers or yours. ". Zoey explained.

" You mean that there's a chance she likes me but she pretends not to for the greater good? "

"She believes that if she acts that way you'd move on, sure it'll break her but it's safer for both of you. Promise me that you would never leave her no matter what". Zoey explains further.

" Thanks I think I'll speak to her". I concluded and she gave  me a thumbs up for encouragement.

(Ashante)
We arrived home somehow before Zoey and Miles. They arrived shortly afterwards.
I had nothing to do with myself, grandfather is ill I'm a bit scared but I must hope the best.
I was wandering around the garden when I saw Miles on the swing set. I intended to turn and leave but his chill gaze found me quickly.
"Ash". Miles called me, it was almost like his gaze held me in place I couldn't move.

" Frost ". I called him.

" Ash, I thought of what you said you're right, better safe than sorry. I'll keep a safe distance and  I'll focus on the mission a bit more. I promise". Miles said.

I walked closer to him and sat beside him on the swing.
"Frost, I'm happy you're talking to me I don't know what I'll do without you. I'm relieved you've decided to understand the situation. I'd like that safe distance but not too far away you're still my best friend Frost, I wouldn't trade it for the world". I said happily, I saw a joy dancing in his pretty cold blue eyes.

" Thanks Ash"

"No problem Frost". I had hugged him tightly.

(Zoey)
" We're so gonna push them closer together since they're both wimps ". I told Eleanor.

" Yup, by hook or by crook. The heart wants what it wants and their hearts scream for each other". Eleanor said.
