*Anti's POV*
*October 26th*

 
    
   
     Before I had fallen asleep, Jack had offered me a pair of his night clothes for me to sleep in since I was going to be sleeping in his room. "Thanks..." I said as he took them, walked into the bathroom, and changed. I walked back out wearing the black sweatpants and dark green shirt Sean had given me. The shirt was a bit small, since it showed the outlining of my abs a tad bit, showing my pale skin as it lifted over my pelvis. The sleeves were a bit tight on my arm muscle, making Jack blush and look away. "I...I'm sorry...umm I didn't know that they weren't going to fit..." He mumbled. I smiled a bit. "Nah it's fine. I don't mind." I said back in response. Jack smiled while still blushing. "Okay...well umm goodnight I guess..." He said as he lifted his sheets and got in his bed. I nodded and grabbed a pillow and blanket from a chair and laied it out on the floor, putting the pillow under my head as I laied down and put my arms under my head as I sighed and looked up at the ceiling, occasionally glancing out the window to see a cloudy yet stary sky. "Anti...Are you still awake?" I heard Jack ask. "yeah...I'm up." I said back as I heard him sit up in his bed. I sat up as well and looked up to see him looking out of his window. "I wanna show you something." Jack said, getting up, walking past me and out onto his terrace. I got up and walked out after him, leaning on the railing of the terrace as he did the same. I glanced over at him and saw him looking up at the sky, the moonlight illuminating his face. I saw a bit of a pink tint on his cheeks as I glanced over at him. He then looked over at me, making me blush as he looked at me with soft and calm eyes. I looked away, not wanting him to see me blushing. "About what you said ealiar...about you watching me when we were younger...was that true? Cause I feel like I would've remembered someone like you..." Jack said as he looked back up at the sky. "Yes. I was true. I remember us playing around in the woods as our parents talked with each other. Me and you used to pretend that we were knights of the castle fighting off bad people who tried getting in." I said as I smiled to myself softly, looking down at my hands. "But then your dad found out that your mom was one of us and he took you away from me and...took your memory of me away from you." I said as my smile faded. Jack looked at me with furrowed eyebrows and a bit of a frown. "Why would my dad....Wait! He took my memory of you and left only my mom, him, and who I was in my head...those are the only memory's I had until now...tell me more about our childhood. You might trigger a mermory." He said to me determined to remember. I nodded and told him about the time when he punched me so hard for training that he knocked one of theeth out when we were about ten and eleven. I told him about the time when he first had a girlfriend when he was fifteen and he would tell me about her everyday. I told him that when we were out on a camping trip last year before his mother had passed that we had gone to a big open area where there was a big lake with the moon reflecting off it, shinning in his baby blue eyes. I told him that we had both stripped down to our underwear and jumped in, laughing and joking around. Jack looked at me with his eyes darting back and forth between both of mine. He looked down and closed his eyes, focusing harder. He then shot his head up and jumped. "I remember!!" He shouted, shartling me a bit. I smiled as his eyes lit up with happiness as he hugged me tightly. "Thank you Anti." He said softly as he losened his grip around me. "You're welcome Jack. Or should I say, King Sean." I said jokingly as I laughed. He let go and rolled his eyes playfully as he punched my arm lightly, making a small laugh come out of his mouth as he crossed his arms. "Don't call me that. Just call me Jack." He said as he walked away and back into his room. My eyes traveled down to his hips as I watched him walk away. I walked in myself and sat on the floor again. "Hey Jack...I have one more thing to tell you before you go to sleep again." I said as I turned around to face his bed and to see him already asleep. I sighed and laied back down. "I'll tell him tomorrow..." I said under my breath, closing my eyes and drifting off to sleep.

*Jack's POV*

   When I woke up again, it was already morning and I didn't see Anti on the floor anymore. I guessed he was in the bathroom changing so I got up and walked over to the door, knocking on it. "Anti...you in their??" I asked but there was no answer. "Anti?" I asked again, more concern in my voice. Still no answer. I turned the handle and opened the door, not seeing him anywhere. "No no no....Please tell my he's not where I think he is..." I said to myself as I quickly got dressed into my everyday wear, grabbed my crown with emeraldes imborded into it, put it on, and bardged out of my room, ran down the long hall down to the left and ran down normal steps that were pretty far apart, causing me to trip over myself and fall down the rest of them, my crown falling off and causing me to skim my arms and knees, cutting through my clothes and hitting my nose on the concrete ground, making it bleed. I got up, grabbed my crown and held it in my hand as I sprinted down the long corridor to a forbidden part of the palace. The hall got darker but I didn't care as I continued to sprint down the hall, passing thick copper doors. Once I reached the one at the very end, I stood on my tipy-toes and looked inside franticly as I saw Anti in chains. His arms were hooked above him in handcuffs with chains on the ends of them. Hie legs were also chained down with the same cuffings on his writs. He was dangling above the floor with deep cuts and slashes on his arms, chest, torso, and legs. I felt tears start to splinter the edges of my eyes as fresh warm tears rolled down my cheeks as I held back deep sobs, making my throat and chest burn. "Damn you father...Damn you!" I practically yelled as I broke down in tears. I then heard footsteps coming up from behind me. I turned around quickly and saw Mark with a look of sympathy. "Mark! Oh thank god it's you...did you know about this?" I asked as he walked up to me and shook his head. "No. But I over heard your dad talking about this so I came down here with keys to his cell, hoping that you'd be down here as well." I looked down at his hands and saw the keys in his hands. I moved out of the way as he walked passed me and put the keys in the door, unlocking it. I rushed over and swung the door open, running over to Anti with Mark behind me. "I remember when we all used to play together." I heard Mark say as he unlocked Anti's cuffs. I looked at him and smiled. "So do I...Anti helped me remember last night." I said as Mark finished unlocking Anti. He dropped to the floor and I heard him groan softly. "Anti, you're going to be okay. Just hand in there for a bit longer...please." I said as Mark picked him up and ran out the cell door with me behind. We ran back up the steps I had tripped down and back up to my room, sneaking around other maids and servants who had listened to my father and agreed with him. We made it to my room and Mark put Anti down on my floor after I put out an old blanket that I didn't use anymore down under Anti. "I'll be back. I'm going to go look for Martha and Amilia to help. And don't worry...they have powers like him." Mark said as he looked back at me and rushed out the door, closing it behind him.

   I looked down at Anti and put my ear to his chest, listening for a heart beat. Thankfully, I still heard his and let out a breath of relif. I sat back up and put my hand on his cheek, wiping the blood from the cuts on his cheeks. I then got up and grabbed some clothes and a bowl of water and kneeled back down next to him. I grabbed the hydrogen peroxide and put it in a seperate bowl and started to dab at his cuts on his face and wipped the blood away from his nose, not caring about my own cuts at the moment. I had to take his shirt off to get a better cleaning at the cute on his arms and chest. I blushed but ignored it and dabbed gently at the small ones first, then the deeper ones that were on his Torso and chest. I had taken his pants off as well to get the cuts on his legs and knees. I blushed harder as my heart got two times faster than it already was beating. I started to clean around his cuts, wating for Mark and the other two to get back. The door suddenly swung open and I looked up, seeing Mark, Martha, and Amilia. All three dashed up to me and told me to get up and watch from afar. I listened and sat on my bed, watching as Amilia and Martha cleaned his wounds and wrap them up, making him drink a potion that was a bright tint of green and red. I guessed it was a healing potion so I didn't ask. I watched as Mark stood by the door, making sure no one was going to come in on them healing him. I couldn't watch so I walked out onto my terrace and tapped my foot and hand on the raling, waiting for either Anti to wake up or for someone to tell me it was going to be okay and that he was awake.

   I paced around for about an hour or so, switching to sitting down and letting my legs hang over the side to just pacing and throwing any stray cobblestone I had found over the raling and seeing how far it would go. After a few minutes of that, I heard my glass doors open and Mark speak. "He's up and he wants to see you..." I spun around, hugged Mark quickly saying, "Thank you." And ran back into my room, seeing Anti on my bed awake and sitting up. He smiled at me and acted like nothing happened. I ran over to him and hugged him. "Thank fucking god you're alive..." I mumbled, trying to hold back my tears but failed. Anti lifted my chin and wiped my tears away. "Hey, it's okay. I'm okay. Now what happened to you?" He asked me as he looked down at my torn clothes adding up to my tried bloody nose. I shrugged. "I tripped as I was sprinting down those steps to find you." I said like it was no big deal. He chuckled and nodded. "Got it." I turned to see that Mark was gone along with Martha and Amilia. "Oh umm I think I heard you say something last night before I fully drifted off...did you have to tell me something?" I asked as I looked up at him with a curious look. He nodded and patted the place next to him on my bed, telling my to sit down. I did and he started speaking. "There was one more thing I wanted to tell you last night but you were already asleep..." He said as he looked a bit flustered and nervous. "What was it?" I asked looking at him. "So umm at that camping trip we took last year...when I saw you look at the water and the moon reflect off of the water and into your eyes, I realized how much I had fallen for you..." Anti said. I looked at him in shock and didn't say anything.
