Heavenly Harpies

Chapter 10: A New Companion

   You wake up with a start, the door had slammed closed. You get up, "Chase? That you?" A different figure stood in the doorway. "Ah, your highness! My master Mirso said I would find you here." He was a dashing, young boy, around your age. He had curly, dark, medium length hair, the brightest smile and dark green eyes. "And, uh, who may you be?" He gave a slight bow and answered, " Oliver. I'm Mirsos successor." You give him a smile and realize your still in your pajamas and an absolute mess. "I should get ready, uh, make yourself at home, I guess?" You rush off and get ready.

  When you come back, Chase was on your bed. He smiled and then tilted his head, "So? Who's the new guy?" You explain and Chase nodded, intrigued. Oliver came in, and as you started packing, Chase gave a glare to him. He pulled Oliver aside and started talking. You sling your backpack over your shoulder and tap their backs. "Guys? We should go. The kings not gonna save himself." They nod and Chase shoves past Oliver and plants himself next to you.

   Poppy and Jackie were waiting outside and once you got moving, Oliver came up behind you. You felt his breath on his neck, and then he went to your side. "So, my lady, I have something to ask you. Who ever is that boy who seems so persistent on being by you?" You look at him, "Oh? Chase? Hes a friend." Oliver smiles at you and that feeling returned. The feeling you felt for Chase. Wait, but, what. You only just met Oliver. You ignore it and keeps pushing foward.

   While you walk, you and Oliver get to know each other more. He gives the cutest little smirks. He brushes his hand against yours slightly, and you glance at him. He quickly looks away, biting his lip. Chase looked at you and him and started getting bitter.

   You stop at a rather flat place on the mountain that had a overhang. You felt like you had been here before. Had you? The memory of the vision came back to you. You quickly look at Jackie, she was talking to Poppy. Your thoughts whirled around your head. You felt like you were going to faint and before you fall, your taken into Oliver's arms.

   Chase watched from a distance. You were being stolen from him. How could he stop this?
