The Train stopped and the only passengers got out, Tiana didn't bring much just a bag she strapped on her back
"From here we have to hike to the Forest" Jasver said
"How long will that take?" Raden asked
"Not one for sports aye?"Jasver teased
"I don't know if my body can handle it because of my sickness" Raden said sadly
"Don't worry, If u fail I'll hold you" she said smiling at him giving him hope as well
"Aww shall we get some dinner after this?" Jasver asked the couple
"What an Ass" she said
"Just trying to make it to the Fox Kingdom alive" Jasver went ahead of them to the path leaving them behind
"What is the deal with him?" Tiana asked Raden
"We grew up together in the Palace but he has never trusted women or Love" Raden said
"Why?"
"When he was 13 he was almost molested by one of my Father's concubines since then he has detested the touch of a woman and it got worse. When he was 15 one of the maids from his house drugged him and was about to sleep with him till I rescued him"
"That's why he values your friendship"
"Not really, Jasver doesn't trust anyone anymore and he doesn't know want anything to do with the feeling love that's why he froze his own heart"
"Is that possible?!!"
"For the Great Wizard of Enticia of course but it's not reversible and only till the Woman he is destined for come along that's when his heart will melt"
. . . .
Rose ran through every possible situation in her head to leave the Ocean Empire, it was good yes but she didn't want to stay here forever, she sighed and looked out the sea was dark and calm and since the whole Palace was asleep she decided to sneak around. Skiring around with her tail she looked around the dark palace then she saw a light in one of the rooms, opening the door she saw a pearl used as a Lamp but no one was there but the room was very big for one person and there was a big bed in the middle of the room, Rose jumped and felt the soft seaweed covers and the comfy pillows almost like a real bed making her close her eyes
"If I had known you were coming to my Chambers I would've been more prepared" Rose sat up and there was Atlas at the door
"This is your room?" She said shocked but all he did was chuckle
"There was a reason I couldn't be around you today so it's best for you to leave" He sounded serious, the pearl wasn't give her enough light to see his face right
"Atlas are you alright?" She asked but Atlas turned his face away from
"Rose please leave" he said breathing heavily, she swam near him and turned his head towards his face, his face felt hit like a fever, and he his face gave a red look
"You're sick, come lay down!!" She said taking his hand
"No, you need to leave right now, it's not safe" he said brushing her hand away
"What do you mean not safe?"
"Rose just go please!"
"I'm not leaving till you tell me what's going on"
"The longer you're here, the more I lose control"
"Over what?" Atlas pushed Rose against the wall violently and kissed her
I was shocked, no I was more than shocked I was confused, The kiss was strong violent and passionate also it my first one I can't believe I lost it to a Merman but that wasn't something I had time to cry about right now, the longer his lips held on mine the more I felt his heat
"I told you it's dangerous" Atlas said as he tried catch his breath and looked at me
"Then let me go" I said breathing heavily
"I gave you your chance to leave"
. . . .
The hiking lasted for another hour and luckily Raden was alright, he held on to rocks and small trees to help him up, Tiana and Jasver were more athletic than him so they were head, as He climbed the last hill, Tiana and Jasver stood waiting for him
"Why did we stop?" He asked them
"The Forest up ahead is Fox Territory, we cross this line and there is no turning back" Jasver said
"Then let's go" he said walking ahead of them, the followed silently
"If the Foxes and Lintels go way back, did you live here for a while?" Raden asked
"No but my mother was from here, she was the first Fox to fall in love with a human and the last, Foxes have a beauty thats deceiving to the Human eye so my birth was a hell that I had to live through"
"I'm sorry" Tiana said
"Don't be, As Half Fox I'm always a cunning one" They walked a little bit more before they were ambushed by people in fox masks
"Metei sheki alicie nawa!!!!" One of them yelled
"Li tel akwa nei" Jasver said
"The Wizard of Enticia, weapons down" one said in English, Tiana got up from the ground and picked her bag
"It's been long since you've been here brother" He took of the mask revealing his long white hair, red eyes and a scar across his face and like Jasver said his beauty was deceiving to the human eyes
"Yes it's been to long Overan" Jasver said, Raden looked at Jasver then at Overan they both looked alike besides their eye color differed and there was a scar on Overan but they looked like twins
"And who are these two you brought?" He
asked
"This is the Second Prince of the Enticia Kingdom and Lady Tiana from the House of Thyler" Overan took Tiana's hand and kissed it
"It's a pleasure to meet you, for a human you have astounding beauty"
"Thank you" Tiana said blushing a little, Raden saw this and in him he felt a little green
"The Fox King will meet you, shall we enter the Kingdom?" He said to all but held his hand out for Tiana who took it lost in his eyes
. . . .
Rose opened her eyes to pearl chandelier above her, her body ached like she had been running all night(which she was) but her mind was screaming a warm bath and clean clothes but she didn't have anything of that not even the clothes
Last Night was a mistake, I decided to talk with Atlas only to lose my V-card in the process, How was I suppose to know it was his fucking heat?!!!!! I tried to sit up by my back groaned in pain as I tried to sit up even though my lower body was screaming help. Atlas came in the room with a bright smile on his face liked he enjoyed the night
"Are you alright?" He asked, boy do I look alright? Is what I could've said but all I did was give him a weak smile
"No I am not" my voice was so weak from something else that happened that night
"I am sorry" Atlas took my hand, he must have been happy
" You didn't listen when I said leave, now rest all day I will be here"
"Atlas that's sweet but I need to tell you something"
"Tell me" He laid his head on my lap to listen
"I want to leave Ocean Empire" He immediately got up and looked at me
"What? Rose you're my bride you cannot leave" He said
"But I need to, this isn't my place and you know it I just want to be somewhere not under the sea"
"But Rose-"
"No, I leave in the morning"
