Tales of the Royals

Making New Friends

AN: Each POV offers a different focus to the story and builds the characters. So let me know which POVs you want and why. Also, any theories you've got so far? About the story and/or characters? Hopefully I'm not being too predictable :/

Christian

I didn't know why they cared so much about 2 servants. In fact, how did they even know two servants were missing? But Amberley had been scared that some girl named Ella had disappeared. Ella? The black-haired girl with intense blue eyes? And now, I was the one being sent after her. Amberley had talked it over with her mum and we were going together. I wasn't sure if I was happy or annoyed about that. Annoyed that I had to even go after her or happy that at least I'd have Amberley's company. Although lately... she'd been pretty boring and shallow. Maybe I'd been too blind to notice?

"Christian, we have to go after them. The girl escaped with her mermaid friend according to our source"

"And?"

"The mermaids are declaring war"

"What?"

"The mermaids will declare war unless we stop them"

"So it's a save the kingdom mission?"

"Of course!"

"You've got everything?"

"What do you take me for?"

"Nothing, just checking"

"Well I do!"

He was irritated by how defensive she was getting over something so simple.

"Well let's go then"

As they saddled the horses and he got on his (after helping her onto her own horse of course), they rode into the forest. They were riding hard, not really saying anything. She was intent on finding the fugitives and he didn't really know what to say. So they continued in silence. Till he spotted a hint of light blue among everything else in the forest.

"There!"

"What?" Amberley said in an irritated tone

"I think she's there"

"Fine"

They got off the horses as he led the way. That's when they broke into the beautiful green meadow. 

"Wow..." he wondered at the beauty as Amberley shot an icicle at the back of the girl who had stopped to pick a thorn out of her shoe. That's when the weirdest thing happened - the icicle dropped to the ground. The girl turned around and stared at them angrily. Yep, definitely Ella. Then the wind picked up and the trees started moving. What in the actual fuck? Amberley looked scared for the first time in her life as she ran to her horse. She rode away as Christian looked after her. Great, his girlfriend was freaked out by wind. 

"Ella!"

The wind died down as the trees became stiff and rigid, normal. 

"What do you want Christian?"

"To take you back"

"Hell no, I am NOT going back till I find my friend"

"The mermaid?"

"How do you know that?"

"Amberley told me"

"How does she know?"

"Some source"

"Oh no... someone else in the kitchen must have been listening... I mean, surely my mother would never do something like sell me out?"
