The Mis-Fits Among the Mis-Fits

Aya's POV

  I stare outside as we pass a few towns. Many people are there but I doubt that they're happy. In the past I've always tried to be kind to reds. At one point I remember that the court wanted to lower the conscription age, Em (who was dragged to the meeting, by me), Bela(who most of the time was talking about Jacob and his cousin, who as it seems is also my cousin now, with Veronica Haven), Tom, Maven, and Jacob(who were talking about some pointless thing that they heard from Julian) and I (who was keeping a lose eye on Jager Iral, I felt that he was planning to hurt Maven and Em,) all refused and convinced I.E. manipulated the court's decision. "Aya, how do you feel?" Maven asks. I shake my head, "Mad, upset, disappointed, and stupid," I reply. "I understand that you must be angry and upset, but why do you feel stupid?" He says taking a hold of my hand. He gently pushes my head onto his shoulder. "When I think about it, it seems obvious that Jagger is my father," I answer, "I've always noticed him staring towards Tom and I. In fact, until today I thought he was out to hurt someone from the royal family. I can't blame myself for that mistake, Tom and I are always with the royal family. Not only that but when you take a closer look Tom and I look kinda like him, our skin tone, my eye color, our hair color ect.. I feel oblivious." I hear him sigh, "Whatever it is we will get over it," He comforts me and kisses my forehead gently. Tom, Em, Jacob, and Bela enter the boat-house. "Because I'm the oldest and hold higher authority than the only one who is older than me here I decided not to talk about Evan's little scandal. I also don't want to hear about the fact that Aya and Tom are related to Jacob. Oh and we have a hidden guest with us, we know her as Veronica Haven," announces Bela. I hold back a laugh, so does Tom. Em and Maven roll their eyes, Jacob turns silver. "Fine with me," answers Em, we nod in agreement. "First thing, we have some important news to announce. Aya if you may," says Bela. "Bela and I, with a little help from the invisible Veronica, found a way to blackmail Evangeline. We apologize that we can't tell you what the scandal is. This way the next Queen is under our control, her first act will be to stop Iris's bothersome flirting. This will be of grave importance in the future, as we know Cal is a man of war, he probably will spend most of his time focusing on the war. Due to Norta's traditions, the queen will be responsible for the rest. In normal circumstances this is bad for us, luckily we have a weapon to blackmail the queen with. With that she will be a name while we will be the action," I explained. "This way she can't control us," whispered Tom. "Thank my silver colored blood," mutters Maven. "Thank you, thank you, thank you," says Jacob hugging Bela, "I can't thank you enough." A disembodied voice interrupts us, "You guys better not forget me," Veronica says. "We won't," responds Bela. "Though we will be needing you to be constantly spying on Evangeline," I say. "Okay" agrees Veronica. "So no matter what happens we will stay the strongest in Norta. I feel like we need a name for our organization, I'm thinking something along Diamond light, or Diamond shard," says Em. I nod in agreement.
