Grasping Fate [F2R Book 2]

Chapter Sixteen

Well, this chapter is like 6-7 days early (whoops).

I guess I'll be doing another GAMEOVER update XD. Which is fine, I am so pumped with both stories I just wish I could crank out all the chapters for you guys.

If you don't know, GAMEOVER is the new story on my page, a completely different adventure staring Adam as the main character. It has been in the works for some time now and the second chapter was posted yesterday. You don't need to read it, but if you like my stories, GAMEOVER would be a neat story to go check out :D

On with the story!

Grasping Fate

Chapter 16

"If it were easy, life would be a breeze (Author quote, I was to lazy to search up stuff)"

Seto ran off, passing Jerome just as he was walking towards the crowd. Seto wasn't paying attention so he didn't notice Jerome, however as soon as Seto ran by Jerome looked back at the boy in shock and said, "W-wait Seto! You're back!" Seto did not hear him. Instead Jerome ran towards the crowd.

"Jordan, I just saw Seto!"

"Yep, Seto just returned with Tyler and more friends." Jordan gestured to the crowd of people he was with.

"Wait more friends?" Jerome's eyes landed on a familiar Tyler, a girl with hair the color of flames, a man with a dino beanie, two unusual morvics, a man with a resemblance to a zombie, a girl with fox like features, and just a plain guy in a red and white hat.

"Ah, these three our actually my friends, it's everyone else that Seto brought," Jordan pointed to the zombie man, fox girl, and plain guy in a hat.

"Hold up, what the nether happened in 2 weeks!"

"Well...." Tyler started.

"Uncle Adam why were you running away from that lady?" Venir who was riding on Adam's back asked as Adam ran around the camp.

"Ran away?? What, no! They just looked so busy, I figured we shouldn't meddle," Adam defended.

"Oh, well, that flame-haired lady looked nice. I wanted to ask her name."

"Aww, little champ you're too young to be having crushes." Adam stopped running and poked Venir who giggled.

Truthfully Adam knew exactly who that woman was the moment he laid eyes on her. And if it wasn't for his messy appearance, she probably would have recognized him too.

She was Alesa, the first princess of Neim, and his betrothed. But considering he's a traitor to the kingdom he wouldn't have to marry her. They'd met several times face to face actually. Of course he wasn't wearing sunglasses and his hair was much tidier, and his clothes didn't look like shit. She was nice, not because she was just pretending to be polite to him in those meeting, he could just tell she was kind.

Adam remembered he once brought to his father's attention the discomfort in marrying her, how he felt it wasn't right. Of course his father rejected the idea and told him things like, this is for the good of the kingdom, this will help the kingdom of Neim that is falling into depravity.

A load of bull now that he thought of it, but at the time he believed he would actually be helping the kingdom. In a way, even though he was at risk of being discovered, he was glad the princess was here. That meant she had escaped Emedo's control and was carving her own destiny, and a new path for her kingdom.

"Adam, Venir!" Adam snapped back into reality and saw Jason running towards them.

"Hey Jason!" Adam felt Venir tap him on the head as a signal to be let down. Adam crouched to the ground and the young boy clambered down his shoulder.
