Lea
My legs hurt like crazy as Leon and I walked down the streets. Everything was quite. A few taxis passed us asking if we needed help. Of course we do, we freaking control fire. Then again, I really doubt some taxi driver has answers. I sighed, why does weird things always befall on me? I felt like crying all over again. First was mom, next was dad then grandma and now, this. Honestly, I wasn't even normal in the first place. I descended from royalty, like who the hell does? Faroll ugh, what a horrible surname. Not only is it the royal family's name, it also sounded like the Egyptian king. I am also like a hybrid. Okay, well not really, but I was half Spanish and half French. Like how weird is that! "Lea? Lea!" Leon's voice broke my train of thoughts. "Huh? What?" I replied. "Honestly, do you have to scare me everytime I try and talk to you?" He asked. "No..." I said sheepishly." Anyway, what is it?" I asked, trying to change the subject. Leon frowned. "We need to get a train the next morning and we need to leave at exactly 6 in the morning." Leon said, he looked serious. Well he always does hehe. "But why?" I really am not a morning person. "Because, considering that we are like royalty, wouldn't Aunt Rosalyn try and find us when she finds out that we ran? She is the queen afterall and she will contact the president and probably think that we were kidnapped. Nous dovons sortir de Lea rapide, ne comprenez - vous? " Leon asked. I nodded I really didn't like how he used French he only does that when he's serous, like really serous. "We need to find a hotel Lea, I brought some money along just in case." He said, turning around to move on. I sighed, I really can't be normal huh.

"There, I suppose it's okay?" Leon asked as he sat down on his bed. "I guess..." I replied, after a few minutes of walking we found a budget hotel. It wasn't as fancy as my room in the castle, but oh well, I could get use to this. "Well then, I guess we should get some sleep." Leon suggested. I nodded. He took out some Pj's and walked towards the bathroom." Hey, Leon?" I started. "Yeah?" He answered. "Merci. " I said. He smiled and replied, "De rien. "

"Two tickets please." Leon asked politely. The ticket lady handed him two tickets and he in return handed her some money. "And may your day be joyfull." Leon added. The lady starred at him funny. "What was that about?" I asked him a smile dancing at my lips. "What? You can't blame me! Stupid habits." He said annoyed. I laughed. Hard. Leon starred at me like: Seriously dude. That made me laugh even harder. He sighed and a faraway look was in his eyes. I stopped. "What's wrong hermano mayor ?" I asked. He looked at me. Sure maybe I don't use Spanish so much, but that doesn't mean I forgot how to use it. "Nothing soldadito . Nothing that you should worry about." He replied using Spanish as well. Okay, let's just say he's way better in being bilingual. But it all was new. Ever since mom's death Leon stopped calling me soldadito, little soldier. But he just did, which gives me the hint that he was thinking about mom again. I sigh. I really need to stop doing that. "Come on Li, the train is here." Leon said, snapping me back into reality. I should stop spacing out as well. We boarded the train and soon, we were headed towards Alaska.

"Send someone out there to meet the fire elements, bring them to the groove I need to meet them." The lady ordered. One of her servants scrambled off. Fire rules all.
