I feel so warm. Like I'm on a cloud, and the sun is just hitting me from every angle and I'm so so warm. This could is so soft, I snuggle into more.  The cloud kisses my forehead... wait did the cloud just kiss my forehead?

My eyes slowly flutter open and I snuggle into my cloud more. Slowly my vision comes to me and I realize the cloud I've been snuggling is Liam's shoulder. I yawn, refusing to move from his shoulder. "Shhhh go back to sleep." The cloud caressed my cheek and pushes me further into his shoulder.

I'm barely half awake as I close my eyes again and grumble "okay cloud" then I fall asleep again

A few minutes later I jerk awake. "What the hell" I jolt up from Liam's shoulder. My vision slowly comes into place as I notice we're in the carriage.

"We hit a bump. We're fine." He pulls me back to his body. I snuggle into him, and his jacket that's on me.

"Where are we." I look out the carriage windows.

"20 - 40 minutes I think from Floravera." He states

"How are Preston and Mr Hillston." I ask

"I wouldn't know. We havent stopped since we boarded everyone into the carriages and left Hillstock." He says

I nod. "Okay." Then snuggle into his more. "When we get back to Floravera you need to tell your dad that the uniting is on"

"On?" He asks "so we're gonna get married." I swear I can feel his smirk on the side of my head.

"Possibly. It depends. But if your soldiers can fight as good as you do then I believe it's a good thing." I state

"Sounds good to me." He says

"Plus what you did to croak tonight was hot. When we get a chance, I'll need our first date to be in my bed." I state. He chuckles.

"I can have that arranged." He says as he runs his fingers through my hair, and kisses my head.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I stare out the window as Floral Palace slowly comes into view. We slowly come to a stop, and guards immediately open the carriage doors. Charles is the first to open my door. "Are you hurt? Where are the other guards?"

"I'm fine, but in the other carriage they need help fast." I state, I didn't have the guts to tell him about the guards just yet. Charles sends some other guards to get Preston and Mr Hillston out of the carriage. He helps me out of the carriage.

Arnold rushes out of the doorway. "What happened!?" He looks so worried.

"The man from the tree showed up at Hillstock palace and" I look down at my feet. "And he killed all of the guards, including some Hillstock guards. He also injured almost all of us." I state, not looking at Charles.

"You'll head to the medic immediately. All of you. Charles get them there now!" He orders Charles. Charles immediately gets into action, all of us move inside, then up the stairs to the 2nd floor's medic. Preston and Hillston are carried up by stretcher. Ms Hillston was walked up by 2 guards and me and Liam had a guard each.

We walk into the medic, and have seats on the beds. Stretchers are placed on the beds. Nurses file out, the head nurse coming straight to me. "What happened!?"

I sigh, this is gonna be a long day... and it's barely 3 am. "We were attacked. He got stabbed and he hit his head. Liam also got hit. And" I lost my train of thought "just give everyone a thorough check up at this point" she nods.

She closes the curtains around us, and helps me out of my jacket, and the rest of my clothes including my armor and liams jacket.

Her eyes widen at the bruises on my back. "Looks like you got hit hard."

I nod "I flew into a wall." Her eyes widen more "believe it or not this happened before the fight." I chuckle.

She gives a nervous smile. "Is there anywhere else you're hurt?"

"No im okay." I say. She hands me a robe, my fancy see through robe, then leaves the area.

Liam opens my curtain, standing there in a tiny robe. "You got hurt before the fight?"

"Yeah when the wand threw me back. It left a bruise on my back." I says

"And you didn't tell me?" He asks

"I didn't wanna worry you. What did the doctors say about you?" I ask. He shuts my curtain then sits on the bed with me.

"If we do get to go on this date thing, your bed or table whatever. Then that means no secrets. I don't care if you bruised your pinky toe. You can't hide it from me. Okay?" I nod. He's right. "And they said I'm fine. Some bruises on my shoulder from where It was twisted but that's it."

"I agree and that's good. Means you'll live" he chucked at that. The nurse walks in again, she eye balls us

"You two are fine besides some bruising. Take a some medicine then you're released. Then get some sleep." We both nod at her as she hands us medicine. We swallow it down. "Alright now go to bed."

We both stand up and head out of the medic place. Liam holds my hand as the guards escort us to my room.

Shortly we arrive. We walk in, shut the door, and climb into bed. I stare at the ceiling. "Is the ceiling moving for you?"

Liam nods "yeah. I think dinosours are back"

I stare at the ceiling more "woah really? Imagine using a dinosaur as a weapon. We'd be unstoppable."

He gasped. "We should build one and make it a custom soldier"

My eyes widen at that. "THATS GENIUS"

"We should go build it now?" He asked

"Yeah now's great" I say
