Chapter III:

Umbra

"This time let me talk to whoever is in charge, okay!" said Courtney. "Please do" said Ace. They approached the gate to Umbra. There was a guard in a both. "Can I talk to whoever is In charge?" said Courtney. "Sure". The guard let them in and they went straight for the palace. As they walked in instead of Courtney yelling "anyone here" Ace did it instead. "Anyone here!" Ace shouted. "Give me a minute" said Chris. Chris was a tall man, with dark brown hair, and green eyes. He came out still trying to put on his gym shoes. He wasn't really dressed very nice as you think a prince would be; he kinda looked like a kid who just woke up and had to go to school. "Can I help you two?" asked Chris. "Yes, can we talk in private?" asked Courtney. "Of course!". It had been about a hour or two and Ace was getting bored of sitting on the floor playing with his hands like puppets. So he decided to see what's taking so long. "Is everything ok? Courtney!" Ace shouted. Courtney pulling away from Chris, they had been kissing. Ace walked right on out. "Courtney here's your jacket and shoes" said Chris. "Thank you, Ace wait its not what you think!" Courtney said running after him putting on her shoes and jacket. "Ah sure thing" Ace said sarcastically. "Well at least I got us a apartment." "that's not all you got." "Ace!" "well lets just go get settled in!" said Ace.

The apartment was nice. It was three stories; first floor was just the basics kitchen, bathroom, and living room. The second floor had one bedroom and a bathroom, and the third floor had one bedroom. "Oh Umbra, what a beautiful place indeed!" Courtney said like a smart ass. "Sure, I wish we could be somewhere else tho." said Ace. Over the next week or so Courtney began to feel a little creeped out as well. Everyone gave them weird looks, probably because of her blond hair. Ace and Courtney has become friends with Sara, and Chris. Bandit had also came along cause she was worried about Ace. Chris and Sara were close friends but acted like 3 year olds fighting over a toy. Ace had become less twitchy and jumpy.
