Thoughts of worry cloud my mind as I walk out of the hospital wing. I know she will be alright but what happens if one of those happen in the middle of the competition. I can tell that she is not just in the competition for power and for actually trying to have a relationship with me. I respect that and all that she is fighting for so much and I would hate to see it go to waste. Before I can even tell what is happening I am sobbing and sinking down to the floor. My sobs echo through the halls only to be broken by the sounds of footsteps. I quickly wipe my tears away. They round the corner and I see the shimmer of the guard uniform.. I stood up ready to be escorted back to my room until I realized that it was only Lexa. thank god she is here i would not be able to survive without her. She steps into the small corridor I am in, looking me up and down to assess my health or something. I feel hot tears roll down my face and her strong arms wrap around me.

"What's going on Princess?" she asks in the softest tone i have heard her use since she came here.

"It's Octavia. She had a panic attack and I was scared it was going to stop her from competing. I don't want her to stop competing Lexa '' I say between sobs. Lexa gently sets me down on the floor and sits down with me. It's cramped because the older woman (not that much but still a bit older) barely fits into the space. God her and Octavia are so hot with their muscles and their strength.

"You know how strong Octavia is. She will get through this and compete. You know she will." she says. I look into her emerald green eyes and see her concern. She is scared to stop but somehow is containing it. Jesus Christ the guard girls really are put together. She pulls me in for another hug when we hear a set of footsteps in the hallway. They are light and fast but incredibly powerful. They ring into my ears and I spring up, recognizing them from afar. Lexa looks up at me, utterly confused and concerned but follows me anyways. I sprint out in the hallway to see octavia standing there, the same uniform as Lexa but with 2 shimmering badges on her chest on their right and one on the right side of her uniform sleeve underneath the Rainard guards crest, it reads " Royalty Competitor". On the other side it is your family crest. I stare at the blank area that is supposed to be where her crest is. It must be hard for her, not knowing where she is from.

"Hello? Anyone in there?" octavia banters. Oh no. I just spaced out thinking about her. God, I'm a mess.

" yeah sorry. Spacing out again."

" You know you do that alot, it's almost like it's about me.'' She laughs and I go beat red. She knows how to play with my heart. I can't tell if i love it or hate it

" anyway, i'm going to go to my room to get some rest. Get my bearings before training tomorrow. " Octavia walks away and i frantically think of something say but she is already out of sight

" Hey Rose," Lexa says and I look up at the strong muscular woman. " ig you want after physical training i can help octavia with her anxiety. I had these problems when I was younger and it got really bad at one point and it had to pull me out. I think I can really help out O. i only will if you want me too."

" yes please. It would really calm my heart down"

"Ok Your highness, see you tomorrow. I'll give you updates"

" thank you Lexa. It means a-lot."

" it's the least i can do." she turns and walks over to where her and Octavia's room is. I sigh as I decide to take a walk down the competitors wing. Go meet the competition. I can't be biased to toward octavia right? Let's just see how the games go.

I walk up to a door with the name imprinted "TERESSEL" printed on it. " This must be Lincoln room" I think to myself. I used to always visit teressel when Lincoln and his fathers were discussing treaty issues. I used to ;love hanging out with him. I had to stop seeing him when I was about 10. I was never told why. It will be nice catching up. I knock on the door and his father answers the door.

" Hello Sir, I am here to speak to Lincoln."

" isn't that against the rules of the tournament?"

"With all due respect Sir, this is my competition. And i would like to meet all of the contestants for a small chat. Now please. Can I speak to Lincoln."

" yes Ma'am. Right this way" he opens the door and I strut my way in. I hate the way that he pretends not to know me. We were best friends. I mean he would know who I am.

"Prince Lincoln, her majesty is here to see you" The servant announces. He looks up at me and nods to the seat next to him.

~~~~~

Lincoln and I talked for hours. We talked about everything from our childhood, to the competition to even octavia. He brought her up as we were talking about the competition.

"So how well do you think that guard girl will do?" he asked

" I mean I have high hopes for her because many of the competitors have never held a sword. Si i'm thinking at least top 3."

"Why so high? I mean she is a girl"

"And there is a problem with that?'" I raise my eyebrow at him.

" not at all, i just would think that you would want someone more sophisticated."

" I think I'm good. Would you look at the time. I'm going to be late, Jordans going to throw a fit. It was great catching up" i say as i leave the room

"Who would have thought that he would be homophobic. Me and Jason and him have been hanging out since we were so little." i murmured to myself. I continue down the hallway and I hear soft, hushed voices.

"You need to take the Teressel heir.  the girl one. They are a huge threat to Montuc heir. the boy will eliminate himself. that guard girl, Octavia is the biggest threat. she cant have Terresel and Rainard. We need to push the plan forward to take over the throne. Do you understand me Fireheart?"

" yes Nicole"
