It walks through the crowd below with an easy, almost arrogant, stride, beanie pulled low over its forehead. But not low enough to hide its piercing, cold eyes. I don't know why but my breathing sudd...

"Zebra! Zebra! Zebra!" Meli chants, marching in tune to her own voice as we follow a path which claims to lead us through 'The African Savanah'. It's been a rocky morning, both of us woke up on the wrong side of life and have been glaring daggers at each other every chance we get. I glare at Meli now,- over her fake bubbliness and general disinterest in anything that isn't herself. I want to see the polar bear but apparently we can 'try to fit it in at the end, if we have enough time'. The only reason I'm still walking with her and not at the polar bear is I'm worried she'll sleep with every guy in the Zoo. Okay, I think to myself sourly, that was mean. She's not like that and you know it. You're sticking with her because you're soul sisters and you stick together. Still, I'm bitter.
"OH!" Meli suddenly screeches and runs over to a fence, pointing wildly.
The other visitors around us glance over at the loud sound with pained smiles before continuing on their own way. I shuffle over to where Meli's literally dancing on the spot and stare into the enclosure at a group of huge giraffes.
"They're amazing!" I gasp and quickly take some photos on my phone, "Oh! Wow! Look, that's one's tongue is poking out!"
"I see it! I see it!" Meli is taking her own photos. "This is so much fun."
"It is", I agree, "But you can be a bitch sometimes."
Meli laughs in delight at this accusation, "You too, Princess I-Want-Everything-Give-Me-Now."
"I am not!" "True. That's me too."
We both laugh at this and I link my arm through hers and we continue on the adventure to find Zebras.
"You're not half bad", I say.
"Glad to hear it. The King and Queen don't seem so sold on me though."
"What? They love you! You always obey their every command without a single question. I swear they're your favourite of us both."
Meli giggles, "Imagine that, right before they die they say 'Actually, sorry Fancy but we kind of want Melody to run the place. Sorry.'"
"That's not funny!" I gasp, "Then we'd have to fight to the death because I'm super entitled like that."
We both laugh at this.

After watching the Zebras for almost half an hour Meli decides that I should get a chance to experience the joy of seeing my most favourite animal so we cut through to the polar bear. It's so cute and just in time for feeding, Meli doesn't stop squealing. Then we spend the rest of the day trekking to every single animal, heading back to our hotel just as the sun starts to set.
"Chinese for dinner?" Meli asks as the elevator climbs upwards.
"I was thinking maybe Korean", I say with a shrug.
"Korean?" Meli screeches, "Since when have we eaten Korean?"
"Exactly, it's good to change it up a bit. I had some the other day and it's really nice." "I don't know", Meli sighs, "Maybe a burger from room service would be better."
"But it was raw last time."
"Exactly. Don't Koreans eat raw meat?"
"Now you're just being racist. And stubborn."
"Stubborn? That's a new one."
Tumbling into our room, arguing intensely it takes a few moments for us to comprehend that there's a guy standing there, gazing out the window which provides an amazing view of the sprawling city. He turns slowly to look at us, tan glowing deeper than normal, hair slightly overgrown and blue eyes completely stunning.
"If it isn't my favourite ladies", he purrs.
We both stop dead and just stare; Meli looks completely shocked, extremely guilty and confused. I'm sure I look the exact same.
"Seems like you guys are having some fun on earth."
Does he mean it as a threat? It sounds like a threat.
"Lord Jakob", I step forward, knowing anything I say he has to accept since I'm the Princess and his fiancé. "You've made it. Sooner than expected."
He grins, flashing perfectly straight, white teeth, "I got the little errand done faster just to see you." Moving forward quickly, he loops an arm around my waist and drags me against him. He's warm, but it's a stuffy warmth and he smells incredibly sweet. I'd also forgotten how tall he is, easily a head or two more than Hanbin, he towers over me like some sort of well sculptured statue.

"Get a room", Meli finally finds her voice, stalking passed us to flop onto her bed. "A different one to this."
"Later", Jakob says with surprising cockiness, "Right now we need to plan the attack. Have you two really been skipping around the city while the Daemon Prince does the same? Like so sort of vacation?"
"After I failed to fulfil my destiny? Yes, yes we did. We get it", I try to pull out of his suffocating grip but he's holding me too tightly.
"It's not your fault, Princess", he says with a strange intensity, "Your heart is very big and I knew it would be your weakness. Meli hasn't been giving you a hard time about it, has she?"
"No. No one's giving me a hard time about it, it's a little freaky."
"Don't get me wrong", Jakob decides to finally let me go and turns his gaze to Meli, "The King and Prophet are both confused about why your back up didn't step in for support. Force your hand, as such, since she's very good at it usually."
Meli sits at abruptly, "Of course this is my fault. The Princess's mistakes are mine, that's why I'm kept around, right?"
"But why you didn't provide backup, as your role title suggests, in the attack on the Prince is puzzling."
I look between the two of them; what is Jakob accusing her of? I just assumed she couldn't get to me fast enough, that's all. I did get off the building and be kidnapped pretty fast. But maybe it wasn't too fast for Meli to help. Maybe something weird is going on.
"I provided backup just perfect, thanks", Meli hisses venomously, "We're both here in one piece. No thanks to the stuck up Lord of Daemon ass kicking."
"Come on guys", I finally decide to step in, "Let's just be happy we're all still alive and with all legs and arms."
Meli snorts and lies down again so her back is facing us. Jakob smiles at me again and softly takes my hand, leading me over to the window seat.
