The Mysterious Continent

Chapter 7

I'm sorry I took so long.. I had writers block and it took forever to figure out what it should be. 

Should I tell him? She thought worriedly. What if he hates me when i tell him, what if he doesn't want to be with me anymore? Stargazer stared at her plate as Cloud talked to his parents. I think I should tell him. But what if.... She cut off that thought and looked up from the plate. She kept a calm look on her face so they would ask her what the problem was. "Hey Star?" Cloud asked her worriedly. "Hm" she mumbled. "Why aren't you eating?" He asked as he looked at her up and down as if looking for any injuries or problems that may have affected her health. Now would be the time to tell him my secret. "Cloud?" she said hesitantly. "Yea Star" he said with a mouthful of mango casserole. "Can we talk, alone, outside please?" she asked him quietly. "Yes of course" he said as he turned to his parents for a response. "Mom, Dad may I? Cloud asked his parents. They nodded silently and went back to eating and chatting with Cloud's younger sister RainFlower. RainFlower and Cloud were really close. Rainflower was the only one besides Swift and SnowWolf to know about their secret relationship. RainFlower worshipped Cloud and would do anything for him. RainFlower had a very unique and unusual mark on her right cheek. There was a flower that looked like a starflower(those were very uncommon in Peidela). That's why she was named RainFlower. While RainFlower was chatting happily with her parents, Stargazer and Cloud walked outside to his balcony just outside of his room. "Ok what do you need to tell me about my love?" He said happily. "I've always wanted to say that." "To call me "my love"?" she asked with a small laugh. "Yea" he said with a grin. Quit procrastinating Star she yelled internally to herself. Just tell him already, no more stalling or procrastinating. "Cloud, I have something to tell you" she said to him with a face that was of dead seriousness. Cloud looked kind of scared if Stargazer were to be honest. "W-what is i-it" Cloud stammered. "I-I am the q-queen' granddaughter," she said quickly. Cloud on the other hand looked surprised in fact he was surprised.. "But you- how- this- I-the queen- How!" he stammered surprised. " I know, I know." she replied. "I don't look like it but we try to keep this from all the other tribes." Stargazer watched as Cloud sat down with his jaw dropped. Stargazer carefully reached out and placed a talon on his shoulder. "But how? And why didn't you tell me!" He said with a hurt look on his face. "I didn't want you to hate me!" she said quietly looking down at the ground. Cloud's face softened when he looked at Stargazer. "I could never hate you." he said affectionately, "You can't help who you are and I love you anyway." Stargazer looked up surprised at what he just said. "Y-you l-love m-me" she stammered with a look full of surprise. "Of course I do!" he yelled. "B-but I-I" she tried to say but coulded get the sentence out and passed the tears that had started to come. Cloud put a wing around her and entwined his tail with hers. "Nothing can keep us apart." he whispered hoping his parents wouldn't hear. "Whether we are far apart or near. Close by or not. Whether dead or alive. I will always love you." Just as he was about to lean to touch snouts with her, RainFlower walked over. "We must go!" she said in a No-asking-questions-lets-just-go kind of way. "Uh... RainFlower what's the problem?" Cloud asked his sister as they took off towards the TreeKingdom.

Sorry this is so short once again. I am literally winging it. Please comment and guess why they are going that way.

Baiiiiiiiiiii
