"Luuuccciiiaaannn!" I yelled from under a tree limb that had fallen on me. Some rocks and pebbles were digging into my back and it hurt like hell. I heard the front door shut and footsteps come running. Finally!

"Babe?" he asked standing over me and I answered with a Mmm.
"What did you do now?" he shook his head, his dark hair flopping all over the place as pulled the branch off me.
Damn... He was hot...

He offered me his hand to get up, which I of course took and he pulled me up against him.
I sighed and realized I was covered in dirt.
I gave him a quick kiss and took a step back. I heard him sigh as he turned around to head back to the house.

I laughed. As I quickly dusted myself off.
I ran at him and jumped on him. He wasn't surprised and had turned around just before I jumped. He stopped me just before my lips touched his.
I looked up at his eyes. And he looked at me and sighed.
"I'd love to kiss you... But we've got company... I was on my way to fetch you when I heard you yelling." she looked grave and worry flared in my heart for him.

I planted a kiss on his lips and took his hand.
"Who is it?" I asked as we walked up the path. Beautiful red and gold pepples passed beneath my feet.
"Mist... They don't know we're here OK? They own the house... They're... My family." his voice shook as he said it.

"Lucian... Babe... It'll be OK. I promise," I said and directed us towards the house. His family? I thought he was an orphan...

"Show yourselves!" a voice boomed from the doorway. It was almost comical. Two people, a boy and what appeared to be his father, stood there with flames in their hands and they directed them at us.

The man threw it at me and if course I turned into a shadow so it passed through me.
I couldn't help it. I bailed over laughing. The boys eyebrows rose to his hairline and his mouth hung open I swear he looked like a fish.

Lucian just watched me laugh of the floor before helping me up. I took a deep breath and calmed down but the smile didn't disappear from my face.

The father then came forward creating a sword of fire. I just laughed and Lucian stepped aside fully knowing what I was gonna do.

"Filthy thief! How dare you break in!" he ran at me. In one quick moment he was on the floor coughing up water from the giant wave that had just him. I laughed again. Now he was a fish!

Lucian walked up to the boy and bent down to introduce himself. I just watched as 'Mr Attack' sat up and tried to hit me again with fire. This time I caught it and held it in my hand.

"Powerful... But arrogant. Don't think you can beat anyone. You just lost to a girl," I made the flame disappear and walked of giggling under my breath to Lucian.

"Mist. This is Connor," he said pointing to the little boy. He seemed to be about twelve.
I smiled at him and shook his hand.
"Connor... This is Princess Mist Night. I'm sure you've heard of her," I smiled at him and he looked even more surprised.

The door opened and a lady popped her head out. I heard her gasp and looked to see tears forming around her eyes as she gazed at Lucian.

"Son?" she whispered...
