Ash's P.O.V

"Goodfellow, let's go. We're following her." I said, trying to wrap my head around what just happened in front of me while staring at the door.

"You um, you do realize what she just said, right?" He answered, staring at me. I kept my eyes on the spot she just left.

"I heard what she said but did you?" I returned.

He raised an eyebrow. "I think so?"

I sighed and finally looked over to him. "She said she has to stay away from us. If I was hearing correctly then....we don't have to stay away from her, right?" He didn't answer, probably silently thinking on how bad this choice will affect us. I looked back to the door and sat there, quietly. Puck didn't bother to say anything either, so I imagine he's thinking about it too. What else could he be thinking about? My head spins and spins as I think about her last words.

*Flashback Starts*

"I'm sorry, Ash, but what you and I want doesn't matter this time. Please...just do one thing for me. Stay safe. I love you both." And with that I walked out the room, silent tears running down my face.

*Flashback Ends*

"Where do you think she went?" Puck asked. I blinked, coming out of my daze.

"What?" I asked.

"Well she was dressed really nice. I know I'm very handsome and any girl would stop at nothing to impress me, but I mean she was dressed really nice. Got any ideas, Prince?" I looked at him and he smirked.

"It was obvious, was it not?" He shrugged his shoulders and I stood up with a sigh. "She went to a party, Goodfellow. Now put on something more human and meet me in the woods when your done." And with that I walked out the door.

Puck's P.O.V

"More human? Oi! Prince! Get back here! What does more human mean?" I chased after him but he disappeared. "That's alright. Ill just go get dressed now." I snorted and walked around thinking about her. Meghan. She said she loved us both. Does....does that mean she loves me too? Well, of course she loves me! Who can't love this handsome face?

After a big argument with myself I decided to stick to my forest colors. So instead of dressing like a jock I decided I was going to wear some tan pants, a green shirt, and black shoes. Finally satisfied with my outfit I gave a nod of my head.

Guess I should go meet his royal iciness in the woods now, huh? I walked to the woods to see him sitting up in a tree. He has black pants on, blue shoes, and black shirt. Typical Ash.

Ash's P.O.V

It was obvious someone was forcing Meghan to do that. I just can't place my finger on who would do that. Could it be a complete stranger or someone we all knew? I thought at first that it could have been Alexis but there's no way she has he balls to think all of this up.

I just can't get it out of my head. At that one moment, when she was crying. I longed to pull her close. I wanted to make her feel better, make all her pain go away. But, I knew she wouldn't allow me. My sadness quickly turned into anger as I thought about it.

This distance thing just keeps coming between us! I groaned in frustration and hurled some icicles at a tree in front of me.

"Somebody's in a grumpy mood." Puck said, leaning against a tree with his hands laced behind his head. I stared at him and he snorted. "Look, Prince, I am pretty sure Meghan is fine. She has her guard with her. I heard he was pretty strong. Top of the class."

"That's not what I'm worried about." I said, going back to my thoughts before. Puck looked confused at first but he figured it out quickly.

"Prince, we'll figure out who forced Meghan to do this." He said. I didn't say anything, just sighed and leaned my head against the tree. "Are we going to follow the Princess or not?" He asked. I jumped out the tree and we walked through a trod.

Meghan's P.O.V

"You couldn't have at least let me tell them who forced me to do this?" I asked my guard who was on my left as we continued to this party.

"My queen, you gave me direct orders to make sure you did not tell them who did this." He responded. I sighed and looked to my right, lost in thought for just a second until I thought I saw Ash. My heart stuttered and I felt happiness for just a moment. But then I blinked, and he was gone.

"Weird," I muttered. My guard raised an eyebrow.

"Everything alright, my lady?" He asked.

I quickly thought of an excuse. "Yea, it's just that I, uh, I don't know your name!" I said quickly.

"Oh? Just call me Devin." He said. I nodded and remembered something.

"Call me Meghan. Not my lady or queen. These people don't know about us, so either make up a nickname for me or call me Meghan." I said staring straight forward.

"Yes, my lady." He said. I stared at him and watched his face flicker in embarrassment as he noticed his mistake. "I mean Meghan." I smiled, which made him smile too. "You have a beautiful smile. Yet you don't smile a lot." He said and not even 5 seconds later he stumbled forward and fell on his knees with a grunt.

"Devin!?" I said looking down at him. He shook his head and stood up.

"I'm fine. Let's keep moving." He stated, quickly getting up and continuing until I put a hand on his arm, stopping him.

"Are you sure?" I asked serious. He smirked.

"Meghan, I'm fine. Though, it did feel like somebody tripped me." He looked around with his eyes narrowed while I looked at his outfit.

"Oh! Devin your outfit! You have to change!" He looked at his outfit and chuckled, looking back up to me still smiling.

"Ya know, you can let go of my arm now." He said. I looked down at my hand and squeaked, quickly letting go of the death hold I had on him.

"Err...sorry. It's just a habit I guess." I said and looked down. He kept staring at me.

"You really do love the Winter Prince don't you?" He asked. I looked up and he made a sound in the back of his throat. "What about Robin Goodfellow?"

"Them 2 are the most important people in my life. I love them both." I responded, adding some hostility to my voice and narrowing my eyes so he knew not to continue this conversation. He muttered something under his breath.

"What about you?" I asked, wiggling my eyebrows. "Any women catch your eye yet?"

He laughed, shaking his head. "Well...there is this one lady. You won't be able to meet her yet though."

I pouted. "Why not?"

"Because she lives in the...future." He answered, winking at me with a smile. I laughed, holding my stomach.

"I'm sure she's waiting on you too, Devin." I responded still laughing.

"Shall we keep moving?" He asked. I sobered down a bit and nodded my head with a smile before continuing to the party.
