The Life I Never Knew

Chapter 9

The pack is changing.

In a good way.

Or better yet, in a great way.

Just looking around, I could feel something heavy being lifted up, and smiles on everyone's faces.

I see pups coming outside more to play and all the teens talking more freely towards each other.

Everyone looks happy and more........ alive. I like this.

I was walking around observing everything and even got some waves and 'welcomes' from others, when I overheard a few teens talking.

"Wow I can't believe she's actually gone."

"I know right? Man, I wish the King would have banished her a long time ago. All she did was cause trouble and was hurting people in more ways then one." The dark haired boy shuddered at his own comment.

"It wasn't just the King that banished her, it was Logan and the Princess also. Umm... shit I forgot her name! I hope she doesn't hurt me for it! Crap! Can one of you guys tell me her name?" A boy with red hair said.

Hurt him? What the hell? And just for forgetting my name? I hope they know that I'm not like that.

"Chris, chill! I'm pretty sure that Leela isn't like that. Logan says that she is very sweet and kind. She won't hurt you like that no good for nothing bitch Tiffany, who slapped you for forgetting her name." The dark haired boy said.

"Yeah, Ben's right Chris. I know I haven't met her in person yet but I do know that she is very nice. I mean look or listen around, not a single bad thing about her so far." The blonde girl says.

Thank god for that. Maybe I should introduce myself. After thinking about it for a few minutes, decided to up to them.

When I knew I was close enough, I cleared my throat and got their attention. They turned and bowed their heads.

"Your Royal Highness!" They said together.

"Hello there!" I said with a smile and a wave. They brought their heads back up and smiled back at me.

"Is there anything we can do for you Princess Leela?" The boy Ben said.

"I was just wondering if you could introduce me to yourself as well as your friends?" He beamed and smiled widely at me.

"Of course Your Royal Highness-"

"Leela is fine sir." I interrupted him with a smile. He blushed when I called him sir.

"Of course Yo- Leela. I'm Ben, short for Bentley. This is Nora and this is Chris. He's a little nervous."
He whispered the last part in my ear and I smiled and nodded to him.

"Hello Nora and Chris. Its nice meet you both." They smiled more and said their 'hellos' back.

After a while, I was able to get Chris out of his comfort zone and he started to talk more freely to me. I learned that Ben is 16 and loves to play piano and video games. Nora is also 16 but a month older then Ben and loves to shop and listen to music. Chris is 15 and is very quiet, he also loves to draw.

"I'd love to see some of your art sometime Chris." I said to him.

"Oh, I don't know if you'll like it Leela. I'm not that good." He says with pink cheeks.

Too adorable!

"Nonsense! One day, I want to see your work. I bet your a natural." I say to him.

"Oh he is Leela. Trust me he can draw literally anything." Nora says making Chris blush more.

Ben chuckles, "Nora don't do that to him." He scolds her. Clearly you can tell that Ben protects Chris like a little brother.
