Natasha POV

I woke up lazily with my hair everywhere. I saw the time and gasped, it was so late, almost afternoon. I quickly got ready and by twelve forty five I was out of my room. I went to the arena and saw everybody was training. I looked around but the person I was in search of was not around.

I greeted everybody and was about to leave when father called out to me, "Aren't you going to train today Nattie?" father asked, "No dad, I will. I just need to talk to grandfather about something. Please excuse me." I said and he nodded.

I went to grandfather's room and found him playing chess with Luke. "Clever boy I must say. Checkmate." Grandfather grinned, "Oh come on old man. You are using your powers to manipulate the game!" Luke bellowed. "Now you are just being a loser. At least lose with some dignity left and say I'm the best." Grandfather said. "No way." Luke refused.

"Now isn't that petty?" Grandfather pouted, "Another game?" he suggested, "No! I'm going for physical training, something you can't manipulate." Luke said getting up. "Pity." Grandfather shrugged. "Nattie." He greeted as he passed by, "Luke." I smiled.

"So... What is so important that you had to consult me before you touched food?" Grandfather asked. "Uhm, what?" I asked a bit distracted. "The reason you are here granddaughter." Grandfather refreshed my memory.

I sat down taking Luke's place. I used my eyes and closed the door placing a barrier around the whole room. "This is urgent." He stated as he rearranged the chess pieces, clearly inviting me to a game. He gestured for me to begin. "What troubles you?" He asked.

"Uncle Order..." I trailed off, "Uncle Order?" He stared at me intrigued, "Order." I corrected myself. "Speak Natasha." Grandfather's voice was urgent. "When Order had come to take me, he put forth an offer." I began. "Do state." Grandfather said.

"That if I came along with him, there won't be a war." I said, "You didn't consider believing him, did you?" Grandfather looked at me with cautious eyes because he believed me to be somewhat reckless when it came to my safety.

"He said he wouldn't hurt me and that he will stop everything. All he wants is for me to be his daughter." I said and grandfather paused. "Tell me, how sincere was his request?" Grandfather asked. "He... Looked at me the same way... F-father would. With..." I trailed off, "Don't be afraid, tell me how you saw it. I won't scold you." He said.

"With concern and love, the same way dad would." I said sadly remembering his facial expressions. "Why would he make such a request Grandfather?" I asked stressed.

"Because he can't have kids with his impure intentions. No offspring of mine is able to reproduce with a dark heart such as Order's. That's the punishment for being bad, he is not able to bring bad like him into this universe. You are a simple creature, you might have melted his heart and that's why he's ready to give up everything for you." Grandfather said quite calmly but I could tell he was in his own thoughts now.

I looked at grandpa for a while, zoned into the wall nearby. "Do not even dare." Grandfather said making me snap out of my blank moment. "What?" I was confused.

"If you, young lady leave Chaos to go to Order for everybody's betterment and safety... I'll punish you so hard you will ask yourself whether we are related once I'm done with you. You will never forgive me. I am not Chaos, where you allowed to put your life at risk and when you come back I'll welcome you with open arms. I will smack the daylights out of you if you ever hurt your father by leaving him." Grandfather looked so serious but I couldn't help but giggle.

I had just been threatened by Grandfather and I ended up laughing at the thought. "Checkmate." I laughed as I got up and kissed grandfather on the cheek. "I won't hurt father, I promise. I love him way more than you could ever imagine." I smiled as I exited. "Mhm." He gave me warning eyes.
