He knocked me to the ground with a leg sweep.

  He leaned over me and says, "I don't understand how me and my friends offended you, but I got to go."

  Shuming comes up behind him, surprising him and he ended up biting Shuming he takes off running. We take chase, catching up to him. I can see that he is trying to think of a way out of this. All I want to know is why they were so fascinated with me and my brothers. What do they want with us?

  Walking up to him, putting his hands on my chest. What is he thinking? Pushing him away from me, I was so confused. Why is this guy touching me like this almost flirtatious? Every advance that I make, he touches me, this time on my leg. What the hell.

  If I did not know better, this guy wants to get close to me, realizing that feeling it really made me wonder if this is one of the royal fan fairs we were told about. They will not hesitate to do what they want with us once they get us.

  As we continue to fight, he gets more courageous against me. The more aggressive I get, the more flirtatious he gets. This time, he kissed me when my sword barely misses him. One of his friends drew him a sword to fight back. Now I know his intensions are purely evil. Not only did he kiss me once, but twice. What is this guy thinking?

  Shuming ended up striking him, we hear a scream that scream seems familiar we could not help but drop our bdes.

  "Na" I yell.

  I could swear that really was her. One of my guards ended up following her when he ran away. He led the way to the local inn. As I was walking in, I can hear a familiar voice. It was Fen's voice. Why is? She here she could not leave the pace walls.

  The inn was retively dark, but with enough light to see clearly upstairs. I notice that the captain of the guard is here. Wondering why he was here. He is usually with my mom, but I wonder if he was here just because. This inn is supposed to have the best tea in the city and the best food. Maybe he was here for that.

  I order him, "Take them back to the pace."

  He just nodded and took them up and escorted them back to the pace.

  Just then I feel a hand on my shoulder and hear, "We need to talk." She says in a firm voice.

  "Of course." Knowing my mother's voice.

  "Who were the men with you tonight?" as I continue.

  "You should know who they are." She says in a stern voice.

  "Your personal guards." Acting like I know it all.

  "Yes, of course." She chuckles a little.

  "That one that stayed behind needs more practice. His tactics are defiantly different. He kissed me and rubbed on me. It made me uncomfortable." I continue.

  All my mom could do was ugh at me. She thought it was funny.

  "I don't find the humor in this at all." I say, getting upset.

  "It is funny. I did not want to talk to you about this right now. There is something more important to talk about." She says in her mom's voice.

  As she continues, "So why are you ignoring Na? You have not visited her in a few months. What is going on with that? She is feeling hurt and upset; What is going on? She is almost in tears these days."

  "I did not mean to ignore her for so long. The st night we were together, I saw the crown princess with that guard. I could not go back to the garden that was next to her pace, wanting to avoid that pce because it angered me." I say.

  As I continue, "seeing them tonight here at the inn. It hurts because she knows this is wrong and look how it makes us look like the royal family. She does not seem to understand her pce. It feels like Fen is purposely trying to disrespect me."

  "You should visit Na; I know she would not see other people. She is very lonely. Na misses you very much." She says in her advisory voice.

  "How do you know all of this?" I ask.

  "Just go to the room at the top of the stairs one door past the crown princess's room." As she points up the stairs.

  She yawns. "Just go. I am heading to bed."

  I am so confused why she wanted me to go to that room maybe since she saw me, reserving the room for me, knowing I might be tired or something. Curiosity getting the best of me wondering why that room. As I rush up the stairs, wondering what is with this room, I reach the door.

  Hearing someone crying on the inside of the room, who could this be? Slowly opening the door, looking closer, I noticed it was Na. It was her crying, and why was she here? As I approach the bed, I tried to touch her, but she spped my hand away and she kicked her leg and hit me straight in the head.

  All I could do was rub my head and groan a little bit. She finally looks to see who it is.

  She did not even take a break from the many questions, believing she would be happy to see me. I guess I was wrong.

  "Why are you in my room?" she shouts at me.

  All I could do was shake my head and look around her surroundings. I noticed that the clothes that the man was wearing were in her room. Could she really be that man when he screams? It sounded like her.

  "What are you doing here?" She asks again.

  "Was that you?" I ask, with confusion.

  "What do you mean was it me?" she asks me

  "The one on the street. Why are you out of the pace?" I demand to know.

  "I was bored, so I came out to have fun. Is that a problem?" she asks with attitude.

  "Ok." With a disappointment

  "Is that all you wanted to see who attacked you? Well, you know, you can leave." With anger in her voice.

  Watching her facial expressions, I can tell she really did not want me to go.

  "Yes! Not that you love me or anything. I was just a short-term toy, I guess." With more anger in her voice.

  "That's enough out you Na!" I yell back at her.

  "Well, it is sure shocking you remember my name. Your room must be ready now at the Lotus House." with anger in her voice.

  Never I have seen her this mad before. The feeling is in the depths of my stomach and heart just want to break. I feel anger building up inside me as well. She does not seem to understand the why behind me not being around.

  "What are you going to hit me?" she screamed at me.

  Just bringing her closer to me and letting her cry it out, all I could do was hold her tight and not let go.

  "I am sorry for ignoring you for so long, dealing with some things that I can't expin right," in the calmest voice.

  "You had time for the others. You do not understand why it was so hard to sit back and watch and to be ignored by you." With tears in her voice.

  "I understand. Things were hard for me as well." I say.

  "I am tired of fighting with you. I need some rest now. Go stay. It does not matter to me. So, goodnight." Sounding frustrated with me.

  As she ys down, I id right next to her and kept her close, seeing she was still mad at me taking my hands off her body.

  "Stay on your side." She says.
