Book One The Black Lion Old Version

Destiny's tipping point

30 days since the shy girl squad victory

Dorothea noticed Ingrid was silent, the sadness in her eyes, the dried tears; she looked like her heart was in turmoil, but why? She had noticed something that she didn't say anything about up until this point because she was happy that Ingrid and Hinata had become friends, but something else had happened the night before, something must have occurred that caused Ingrid to be in the state that she's in; she looked like an emotional wreck, which was unlike her.

Dorothea did not know how to feel. Did Hinata hurt her? If she did, she wouldn't tolerate that, even from Hinata. Ingrid was still precious to her, even though they had broken up; she still loved her and wouldn't want her to be hurt by anyone, not even by Hinata, the woman that she had fallen in love with when she first laid eyes on her. She even wouldn't let her do such a thing to her first love.

"Have you ever felt like your heart is being pulled in multiple directions, and you have no idea what to do because every choice feels wrong?" Ingrid asked her. This caught her off guard. What did she mean? Why would she ask such a question?

"I don't know what you mean, Ingrid. What's wrong? Did something happen between you and Hinata?" Dorothea asked, concerned.

"she didn't do anything to hurt me not intentionally I."Ingrid was trying to get the words out.

"Ingrid you could be honest with me."Dorothea said not being prepared with Ingrid was about to say.

"I'm in love with her I can't explain how it happened but it has I realize that last night my feelings for her I felt like I got too close she's like the Sun and I got too close I."Dorothea had no words the sadness the last thing she expected was Ingrid to fall in love with Hinata after she fell in love with Naruto she didn't know how to feel about that. Hinata is someone deep into Dorothea's heart as well she did not expect to fall in love with her but she did the more time she spent with her.

she understood Ingrid's feelings too well but she also had other questions she wanted to ask her.

"what about Naruto how can you be in love with him and be in love with Hinaa that doesn't make much sense?"Dorothea asked Ingrid turned away.

"My feelings for her and Naruto and you it's what's pulling me apart I feel like no matter what I do all of you are out of reach I can never have the people I love why does this feeling have to be so painful why?"Ingrid asked Dorothea she had no words none. she didn't feel her heart being pulled in three different directions like Ingrid was could she really choose between them Hinata and Ingrid? then she clenched her chest and realize no she couldn't it would destroy her her heart being pulled into that many directions she doesn't know what she can do but she still had to see this through Naruto she had to find out if he was worthy of Ingrid and Hinata.

Her reluctance to transfer to the golden deer had more to do with her friends in the Black Eagles she values them and transferring if it's temporarily in order to find that out was something that she knows would change her life forever and she didn't know why she had this foreboding revelation.

"I'm still going to find out if Naruto is worthy of either one of you I have to see for myself what kind of man Naruto truly is not what I hear you and Hinaa say about him."Dorothea said which caused Ingrid to look at her in surprise that she was still deter.

" He's not a bad person Dorothea please."Ingrid said weekly which caused Dorothea to shake her head she wasn't going to be swayed.

"you know I still love you Dorothea you know that right?"Ingrid asked her she clenched her heart she couldn't reply no she had to tighten her resolve if she didn't she would relapse.
