Chapter 6: Barrier..

Suddenly Lea and Jake were thrown back into the tree trunks. Lea vinced in pain as she got up, and Jake grunted glaring around. Nothing. There was no one. Jake suddenly started laughing and said, " oops! I forgot, we reached the entry. I forgot the place around here." he then took a step forward and closed his eyes. Then a shimmering light appeared and Jake pulled Lea into the light.

The both went inside and the next second Lea was standing in a beautiful village. The people wore beautiful long frock like robes. There hair so perfect. The people were so happy and joyfull. Suddenly a man came to her and offered her an apple. She kindly thanked him and took it. She looked at Jake and he smiled at her to go ahead and eat it. She took a bite at the apple and her eyes widened. It was the most tastiest, sweetest beautiful apple she had ever eaten.

She looked at Jake who was trying not to laugh. "haven't you ever eaten an apple before?". Lea with her stuffed mouth said, " I habe eathen ok! Buth thith ish shooo goooodh!" she said trying not to spit anything out. Jake shook his head smiling. " cute...now let's continue going, we don't want to waste our time just standing around do we? " he, said and, Lea nodded.

They started to walk deep into the town. Children playing with each other, people buying groceries. It was so lively and everyone was just so kind. They walked for a few miles, and stopped to hop on a carriage which would take them to the palace. " Helena.. No one knows that the princess,which is you, is here. They have no clue. Only me and morlovin knows. Morlovin is an ancient man, who foretells the future. Lots of girls have come to the palace to take place as the princess, since your parents are captured. You must go and show that you are the princess and you will go and save your parents and this world from getting destroyed by the, dark lord." Lea nodded, trying to understand.

She tried to be, as calm as possible, but her heart is beating like a  drum. Lea slowly closed her eyes trying to think of all these in an order,and she, slowly fell asleep, sliding down into Jake's lap. He smiled and placed her hands in her head. " those eyes... Are more beautiful than anything in this world.."

Time skip

"Helena.. Helena! Wake up! We are here! Get up you lazy!" Jake shouted shaking her to wake up. " 5 minutes.." she groaned. " No! You took an extra hour just by saying 5 minutes! Get up, we are in front of the palace! Up…!" Lea groaned and slowly got up. She rubbed her eyes and pushed her hair away from her face. She got out and squinted under the bright sun. Once her vision got clear, her jaw dropped. In front of her stood the most beautiful, shining shimmering, grand, enormous castle.

Jake smirked, " I see your eyes can't bare the beauty.. Hahaha! Come on, let's go in." Jake said grabbing her hand and pulling her inside. Lea frowned and tried to pull away her hand, but it did not move one inch. They walked inside the grand palace. Everything was shimmering and spotless. The maids and servants wore beautiful elegant clothes. Different types of foods were placed in a long tables. " prince Jake, the king is waiting for you." said a man with a sword tucked into his belt. Jake, nodded and headed to a different direction taking Lea with him. ".

"Wait.. Prince..? You are A PRINCE! NO WAY! WHAT WHY DID YOU NOT TELL ME!" Lea whispered loudly." only royals, and powerful people can turn into wolves. And the fire magic is gifted only to one royal. And that's me.. So I thought you already know I am a prince.. Now come.. It's time to show the king who arrived. " Lea nodded and they both entered the large room full of grand people seated in both the sides. Lea looked up and saw a man dressed in gold robes, his thrown cowered in diamonds.

" son! You are late! It's time to pick a wife for you! I brought a lot of beautiful young women. We shall start now."  said the king. Before Jake could say anything, the king shushed him and said, " I see you too brought a girl, keep her in the list of girls as well. Now let this began!" the king said signaling Jake to sit next to him. 3 girls stood in front of them. Lea was too with them looking nervous.

"Issabele", Shouted an old man and a girl walked out of the 3 girls. She was short and, had greasy curly hair. Her dress was a luminous pink which did not suit her green, and blue makeup. " omg! Hi! I am Issabele! And prince Jake! You are hot as hell! I can do so, many things to impress you! I know you are trying not to faint from my beauty!" Issabele said snorting and she walked away leaving the prince in shock.

Issabele took he place next to Lea and winked at the prince. Jake ignored her and the old man shouted
Diana. A beautiful girl dressed in dark blue came out. She, went straight to the prince and bowed at him. " hello my prince! I am Diana! It's an honor to meet you! I hope we can have a wonderfull time together she, said smiling and, winking at the prince. The king smiled at Diana whispering to Jake saying," I think she is quite a nice girl." Jake tried not to gag at him as the old man shouted Helena. Lea stepped forward, her hair slightly a mess from sleeping, and her dress was just a normal shirt and pants. The king was not happy looking at her, and some of the men snickered."

hello..i am Helena... I am here to look for my parents, Hector and Selena. I... Am the princess of waraqi." Lea stuttered. The people around her burst into laughter, including the king. Lea's face turned red and she looked at Jake, who was trying to tell his father to stop.

Lea's anger  increased. Lea yanked her sword out of her belt and yelled. A sparks of ice flew everywhere.. A circle of thorny ice surroundimg her as she transformed into her warrior form. "stop! I am princess Helena! Daughter of Hector and Selena!" she, said, her voice, booming across the room. The room was filled with, silence. Everyone's eyes were widened and there mouth was hanging open except for Jake who was smirking. " what.. What is all this. Jake, the.. The princess? Is... Here? " the king stuttered. " yes, dad.. She is the princess. Lea this is my father. Your father and my father are brothers. Both of them were ruling this place. They are so close. When your parents were gone and only one letter was behind. They wrote it before the dark lord could capture them. They only wrote dark lord has us and only fire and ice can save us"....
