Forgotten Love

Chapter 4

Ira POV
Memories come flooding back to me about a life in Splendorius  playing with my big sister and practice fighting with...is that...Spade! I look up at her with a small smile and the girls tense "Ira, what do you mean you remember?" Rachel says carefully I smile, "Well for one, I know where this came from." I look at the pin in my hands "I got the Glitter Charm from my sister, Marie-Angelica."
The girls gasp and I look up, "What's wrong?" Mack looks like she's seen a ghost, "M-Marie-Angelica was your s-sister?!" I raise my eyebrow, she knew that already. "Um, no duh." She stares at me with the same confused look that I probably have on my face. "Mack don't you remember?" She widens her eyes, "W-what are y-you talking about?" I look at my best friend even more confused, "We were friends you know before the war when we got separated somehow." The girls gasp again
"What? Mack come on we've been best friends since like forever." I look at her a little hurt that she doesn't remember

Mackenzie POV
WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT
BEST FRIENDS? WITH A MERCINARE?! Ira grabs my hand but I yank it back and he looks even more hurt than before no no no no he is a mercinare and they don't have feelings, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" I yell. "I'm helping you remember." He holds out his hand and looks at me "Please Mack" I'm about to yell no way when a tiny voice deep inside tells me to trust him, I don't know why but I listen to it and take his hand. The girls look at me in shock and Ira smiles at me, closes his eyes, and squeezes my hand. I gasp.

* Authors note: This memory is from when the princess was dying

Ira and I are sword fighting and he knocks me down AGAIN. I can tell he sees that I'm not at my best right now so we decide to take a break and sit down on a bench. "Mack come on what's wrong?" I tense, "What makes you think that something is wrong?" He gives me a look, "I'm beating you 20-1 and you never let me win." "oh." I say softly. We're quiet for a bit before he says the one thing I don't want him to say. "Is it about Marie?" I get teary eyed, "Maybe" Ira puts an arm around me in a hug and I put my head on his shoulder "I'm scared too ya know." I look at him in shock and he continues "But if something bad were to happen to her she would want us to keep living and be happy, ya know?"
As I'm about to let the tears fall Ira throws a snow ball at my head
"Hey!" He stands up "So no tears only fun!" I ball up some snow, "I'll get you for that!" And we spend the rest of the day throwing snowballs at each other oblivious to what his dad, the king, was doing just below us.

I open my eyes to see Ira giving me a worried smile and the girls looking at us like we're the newest movie and they got front row seats. "H-he's telling the truth I-I remember." Ira smiles bigger and gives me a hug, "Thank God I don't know what I would do if you didn't." I laugh and hug him back.
