In the years 3000 new rulers take stand. There are the Angels and the Demons. When the Angels take hold of one of the Demons scouts they send their army to steal the Angels number one thing. Their Princess.
I'm in Ashs room helping her pack for the trip to my side of the world. "So all I need is all of my hoodies and jackets and Jeans and I'll survive." She says. I can hear the small amount of fear in her voice. The cold makes them weaker. It hurts them.
"Ash you'll be okay. I have no doubt that a little bit of snow won't stop You." I say and I look at some of her Jeans and pick out some good ones.
"Ya. I'm not worried about me. It's Liam I'm worried about. He is a little baby." She says trying to inflict some humor into this.
I laugh. I see a small smile.
There is a knock at the door and Zac, Liam, and Delaney walk in. "Um... excuse me Ash but I'm going to take Avery to get ready for the ball."
"That's tonight?" Ashes charming accent asks.
"Yes mate and I'm taking Taylor so that you won't have to worry about her." Liam says patting Ash on the back.
"You know that won't stop her." Ash sighed.
"Then just dance with her once and get it over with." Zac says and Ash picks up a knife.
"Say that one more time mate." She says with the knife in hand.
We all laugh as Delaney and I leave.

I'm in my room and Delaney is helping me get a beautiful dress on. She curls my hair so it lays perfectly off my shoulders. Delaney applies light makeup and smiles at me.
"Ash is going to die when she sees you!" Delaney squeals and then we help get her ready.
"Really Delaney. Can I last two minutes without you shipping me and Ash." I ask as she changes behind the curtain.
"Nope! Not when you two spend every second together and are helplessly in love." She says and I grown. "Okay I'm coming out."
"Alright let's see it." I say.
Delaney comes out and she looks beautiful. I smile. "Zac is going to love it." I say and she laughs.
We go to the mirror.

Ash's POV
I get is a suit and head down to the ball room. I meet my father and he hands me a cup of ice. I take it and look down at the cup.
"What is this?" I ask.
"It's ice." He answers plainly.
"Well I know that but why did you give it to me?" I ask again.
"Because you are going to have to get used to the cold. It will hurt. You will be weaker." He says and he puts an ice cube in his mouth.
"I'm not the one you should be worried about father. And eating ice cubes is nothing like being in the middle of a snow storm father." I say and put the cup back in my fathers hand and walk over to Liam and Zac.
"Well don't you clean up nicely mate." Zac says patting my shoulder and handing me a glass of cold water.
I take it and chug it. "Har har. You guys are idiots." I say handing back the glass of water.
"What we got the ice cube talk from your dad too." Liam said patting my shoulder. We will be fine.
"We need to focus. That's what we need. We are leaving tomorrow and we don't have a plan. We need a what if list." While I am saying this their eyes go behind me and their jaws drop. "What?" I turn.
There is Avery walking in with Delaney. It seems like the whole world stops. Avery is in a beautiful black dress that fits her nicely. She has a shy smile on her mouth and her eyes are looking at all of the Demons that are staring at her.
I am broken out of my stare when I feel a push. I look to see Liam pushing me forward.
I start walking towards Avery. I suddenly start to sweat. Avery smiles at me with a slight relief. Does she feel safe around me?
"You ladies look wonderful." I say but I keep my eyes on Avery. We hold eye contact before Zac interrupts us.
"My lady... care to dance?" Zac asks Delaney and she giggles and nods. They walk off toward the dance floor.
"Hey Ash!" I hear the annoying voice of Taylor call out. I turn and see her in a bright red obnoxious dress while she is chewing gum loudly. "Wanna dance?" She says with a cheeky smile.
"No actually. Um... Avery and I were about to dance." I say.
"We were?" She asks.
"We were." I assure and take her hand to the dance floor.
I put my hand on her waist and we start dancing.
"Sorry about that I don't know if you are a dancer I just had to get away from her." I say looking down at Avery.
"I'm am so a dancer. It's all I could do. I would dance around in my room alone with a broom and it was the only fun thing I did." She says starting to get embarrassed towards the end.
"Well lovely... this time your aren't alone. And well... I'm not a broom." I say and smile at her.

Avery's POV
Ash and I dance and talk all night. It was fun. It was calming. Just for a little I forgot about the stress of the separation. Of the two side's possibly going going to war.
It was peaceful.
Ash walks me to my room. My hand is around her arm and she stops at my door.
"Thanks for hiding me from Taylor all night." She says with a chuckle.
"Thanks for being scared of a crazy girl so I could hide you all night." I say back.
"Hey now. I wasn't scared. I was mildly disturbed." She says and I laugh.
"Goodnight Ash."
"Good night Princess."
Sorry if this is a iffy chapter I am sick but needed to get a chapter out.
