~How You Met~

~Kilorn~

You apologize to the girl you bumped into before catching her wrist and pulling her into a more secluded area. "Give back my bracelet before I make you." She scoffs. "I don't know what you're talking about." You sigh before holding up your bag. "Inside here is food and money. If you give me back my bracelet you can have it." She smiles and hands you your bracelet. "Thanks." You whisper at the same time. You make a face before turning around. "Stay out of trouble. Wouldn't want you to get caught." You walk away but stop at a corner. You need to find out why she's stealing.

You silently follow her. Above, you've made the sky darken and a storm form. Wind runs through your messy y/h/c hair and it whips around your face. A boy joins her and you watch him carefully. Bottle green eyes, tawny hair, tanned skin. Soft rain lands on your bare collarbone and you shiver slightly, the wind and chill seeping to the bone. They stop. You continue walking, making it seem like you aren't following them. The road leads on and a forest is right by this house. "Hey! What's your name?" The boy stops you. Recognition flashes across the girl's face. "You're that girl from the markets." You nod, glancing around you, rocking back and forth on your feet. They eye you. "Why did you follow me?" She frowns. "I just wanted to make sure you were fine." She makes a face. The boy eyes you. "Why?" You roll your eyes. "Because I can?" He scoffs. "I'm y/n. What about you?" You glance between the two of them. "Mare." The girl smiles. You smile back. "Kilorn." You look up at the boy. He doesn't look as happy. "Well I'm going to leave now. I can give you more food once a month." Your eyes flicker back down to the bag. Her jaw drops. "What?" You smile and start walking away. "See you next time Mare. Bye Kilorn."

~Cal~

You look over at Walsh. "It's fun to watch them practice." Her eyes widen. "You watch them training?" You blush. "Yeah." She laughs. "What's it like?" You smile. "It's amazing-" You hear someone clear their throat. You both whip around and see him standing there.
Prince Tiberius Calore.
Both of your eyes widen. You both do a quick curtesy and exchange glances. "Y/n right? Follow me." You pale and look at Walsh for support. She smiles at you and you follow the prince down the halls. You were only fourteen, he was fifteen. "The maids are being taken for questioning." You nod, looking down at your feet. "You don't talk much do you?" You blush a bright red. He chuckles. "You can talk around me. I don't care if you're a maid or not." You smile. "Thank you." He smiles. "How do you know my name?" You look up at him. "I know a few people." He smirks. You laugh and turn the corner. The throne room. Images of people 'interviewed' by the queen flash through your mind. You freeze as your heart starts to hammer against your chest. "Y/n?" Cal looks at you with concern. Your breathing becomes rapid and shallow and the world begins to turn. You close your eyes and lean up against the walls, the beating in your heart becoming worse. "Y/n!" Someone catches you as you start to fall. You gasp and Cal keeps his hands on your shoulders, steadying you. Your heart steadies and you sigh. "Sorry Prince Tiberius." He runs a hand through his hair. "Call me Cal. Please." You nod. "Okay....Cal."

~Maven~

You peer around the corner and look around. No one. You walk through the halls, exploring the palace. "What are you doing?" You whip around and almost trip. There stands Prince Maven. "Uhh......" You look around, running your hand through your hair. He smirks. "You're y/n Jacos aren't you?" You nod. "Yeah." He nods. "I'm uhh... Going to just..." You dart away, blushing a pale white.

~Shade~

You sigh and make the metal snake around your fingers. "Hey General-" a man comes in. You look up. He was handsome, you'd give him that. He smiles. "Well hello." He looks you up and down. You roll your eyes. "Stop staring soldier. Could get you killed." He shakes his head. "Too fast." You scoff. "I'm Shade." He offers his hand for you to shake. "Y/n." You shake his hand, making the metal snake around his wrist. You smile wickedly before pulling away, metal wrapping around your wrist again. His eyes widen. "You're a Silver?" You shake your head. "Nope." And pop the p. He frowns. "You're like me?" It's your turn to frown. "What?" He teleports beside you. You gape at him. "What the-"
