alien hunter's, science fiction

Clowy's pov:

I Don't believe in aliens, but I know someone who is in love with the idea of it, that person loves Adventure and that person is my best friend, even though I'm not adventurous we do a lot of things together, and because of my best friend, I have faced a lot of my fears.

We would always talk about Mars Christian somehow made me fall in love with that planet, he knew so much about it that it kept me thinking maybe he's an astronaut.

It was one of our many conversations about finding a job when he managed to fanboy over Mars, though I wasn't complaining, "jeez by the way you love Mars why don't you go there" I playfully said, he looked me dead in the eye, and said.

"Clowy, do you have any college's to suggest?" He asked pulling out his laptop genuinely waiting for a response, "Christian I didn't mean it" I said blinking repeatedly.

"Does it really matter?" he said relaxing his head on the couch, whilst trying to type the right words without looking, "okay first look before you type second, why do you wanna go to Mars?" He stared at his laptop a bit before responding.

"Aliens" I rolled my eyes "what are you some kind of alien hunter," I said laughing, he chuckled revealing his dimples, "we can make a group and call ourselves alien hunter's," he said bursting into laughter.

"That wasn't even funny," he said calming himself down, "okay all seriousness, any suggestions?" I nodded, I didn't but I wanted to mess with him, "Mars University" I said earning another chuckle from him.

"These jokes aren't even funny why am I laughing"

"Questioning your sanity I see" he rolled his eyes, "that's rude" I pouted, not sparing a glance he pinched my cheeks and laughed at his actions, "sorry" he apologised before gently pushing my head on his shoulder, I smiled.

As nerve-racking as it was, to be honest, it was fun as it was nerve-racking, definitely worth it, I have to say, but no one was more excited than Christian, he was jumping around celebrating, well not until the general came inside.

I chuckled, "aren't you excited?" He Whispered before standing properly, I nodded catching the general attention, "I see would you like to apply?" He asked, "what?"

"He's asking if you would like to be group A's leader," a girl near me said, I looked at the general, I studied a lot about all the groups here and group A is the worse out of all of them, it would also separate me and Christian so it was a definite no.

"No sir," I said he nodded, "well then, you all will be assigned with a partner, you will be going in pairs," he said handing all of us our uniforms before leaving, I turned to my left and Christian was nowhere to be found.

He peeked through the door and smirked "what I came to see you" I giggled. We put on our uniforms and headed out to get scanned, I got worried when one of the boys from group B was being held on one of the tables as an officer searched him.

Worried because I didn't see Christian, someone pushed me before I could even look further, as I balanced myself I turned around to see who pushed me, but I met those beautiful blue eyes I was worried I wouldn't see again.

"Sorry, someone told me to do it," he said pointing at the person behind him, I chuckled before following the others to the cafeteria, I sat down with some of the people from group D whilst Christian sat across from me with group A the trouble makers.

I sighed, before facing the person sitting in front of me on the other end of the table, "what group are you in" he asked "B" I replied staring at Christine, I guess he noticed because his next question was unexpected, "are you two together?"

I shook my head "We're friends" the girl next to me giggled, "that's what they all say" she said stuffing her face I rolled my eyes before taking my first bite, of the bitter food.

"Jonathan by the way," the boy said I nodded, "clowy" I replied "rosa," a girl next to Jonathan said I nodded again waiting for the chubby girl next to me to introduce herself, " Michelle," she said a warm smile plastered on her face.

A sigh left my lips, before glancing Christine's way once again he looked happy, so I didn't worry too much, "well if he's single can you- I didn't let rosa finish her sentence before getting up and intending to throw my food away like I have been doing for the past 44 days.

But Michelle stopped me by pulling my arm, "we are going tomorrow I recommend you eat" she said taking my serving tray, and practically dragging me back to our table, placing the food down as I sat.

"So about what I was saying" rosa continued I fake coughed stopping her again, "look no offence but we are here to go to space not to go on dates," I said eating the only good thing on my plate, she scoffed, "excuse me?" I looked at her blankly.

"You may be excused," I said making Jonathan chuckle, "okay that's enough if we return I will gladly take you on a date" Christine unexpectedly said across from us, she giggled flipping her hair back I rolled my eyes.

_______

We all got ready and went straight to our assigned spaceships, rosa who was crushing on my best friend was assigned with one of the boys from group A, whilst Michelle and Jonathan were assigned with each other, I was assigned to go with Christine as expected.

"Are you all, ready!"

"Yes!" The past few days were a blur we had to undergo so many scans and searches, but knowing all that led me here and that I was going to space was beyond my imagination, Christine's crazy dream is coming true and I'm here to experience it with him.

I held his hand smiling ear to ear, "I can't believe this is happening" Christine said holding on to my hand tighter, "me too" I replied.

"Five...four...Three...two....one..launch!"

To be honest, it was faster than I expected, an hour or so passed by and we were supposed to hear from the general but we heard nothing when we turned on the communication radio.

"What's going on?" Christine asked looking out the small window I shrugged still trying to get a hold of the others, "hello Michelle Jonathan can you hear me?" I asked pressing every button I knew could help me, I still couldn't hear anyone.

"Clowy we're not moving," Christine said I moved him away from the window and tried to check the connection at the back, I was supposed to see a wire, I did see it but it was not connected anymore, my eye's widened.

"The connection.....has ripped" fear took over my body as I said those words, "no clowy this is a good thing we can operate the ship right?" Christine asked I stared at him for a hot minute, "Christine we are in the middle of a crisis and you are talking about operating the ship, and take it where!!?" I yelled, moving closer and closer to him.

"Freaking Mars," he said with a big smile on his face, "are you crazy the place has one per cent oxygen do you want us to die?" I said calming myself down by each word, "we have our oxygen tanks right?" I sighed there is no convincing this man, is it?.

"Christine we need to fix the connection," I said sitting down, pointing out the obvious, "fine I will go fix it," he said putting on his suit and helmet, I made sure his oxygen tank was filled and patted his back.

He somehow managed to fix it and came inside, I went straight to the radio and tried to communicate with the others but I still heard nothing, "I fixed it but we are nowhere near the others" I froze in place trying my hardest to comprehend what I just heard.

"We also have asteroids coming our way, we are close to Mars we could-i place my index finger on his lips before hugging him, "I love you, Christine, let's just stay like this it will hurt less" he hugged me back and whispered, "I love you too clowy"

I closed my eyes, I saw the asteroids there was no way we were going to survive it was too late, on the bright side though I get to spend the last moments of my life with my best friend.

Clowy's pov:

I opened my eyes, Questioning how I even survived, my thoughts were shortened when I finally realised I was on the ground, it wasn't sandy but rocky. over all it was uncomfortable, a small but very noticeable groan left Christians mouth before turning his head to face me, "you feel like crap too huh" I nodded the best I could.

We both lifted our head right after a loud bang was heard, my jaw dropped, two human like creatures stood in front of us both holding a staff, what I assume was where the loud bang came from, I froze as I heard Footsteps coming towards us, with my head slightly lifted up and my eyes getting blurry by every passing moment.

I couldn't quite make out the....person standing just a bit far from us, "w-what happened" I asked even though my voice was fairly low, " you and your friend almost died," the man in front of us replied his voice somehow more calm than expected, I gained enough strength to get up on my knees and look at him more clearly.

Christian was one step ahead of me as he was already on his knees, flashing me a warm smile before turning his head towards the ground again, "you saved us?" I asked, he nodded crouching to my eye level, "the real question is why were you and him" he pointed toward Christian, "coming here" he placed his index finger on the ground, whilst making eye contact with me.

"We love Mars" Christian answered, catching his attention, "check them," the man told the two with the staffs before, getting up and disappearing from my sight, I turned to look at Christian who had a small smile plasted on his face, "you are such a weirdo" I commented, making him chuckle.

Moments later the both of us found ourselves standing in front of the prince soon to be king, of this kingdom, heads slightly low as we were too sore to bow, "may I know why you decided to risk your lives just because you 'love Mars'?" He mucked, and I swear I saw him roll his eyes, "well in all honest we didn't know we were going to meet Asteroids on our way here" I started whilst lifting my head.

"What made you even want to come here?" He asked, I pointed toward Christian, he turned his gaze towards him right after, "well....you know we should stop focusing on why we are here but more of......why we are here" Christian said confusing even me, "Let's say we are interested in the high intelligence you hold and how handsome you are" Christian continued, earning a prideful smirk from the prince.

Typical.

"We came here to explore, so please spare our lives because we came here just for you" he ended his not so good speech with a small bow that made him fall down, I held in my laughter, "okay then answer this question honestly" the prince said, we both nodded, "did you already know I existed when you decided to come here?" Christian and I both looked at each other.

"Well did you know humans existed" Christian playfully said trying to ease the tension that came out of no where, "yes" he answered he looked annoyed, I don't blame him, "your highness, we mean no harm" he stated bowing again and somehow holding his balance, "alright then, since you are so interested in our species, I will be your guide" he stood up.

"Follow me"

"And whats this?" I asked crouching down slightly to get a closer look at the very cute strange animal, the prince crouched as well, "its a gughun, these pink ones are rare" he explained, I nodded if they weren't rare i would ask for one, but then again he would probably say no.

"They are so cute" I squeaked, "do you want one" he asked as he picked up the gughun, the cutie was nether small or big. I nodded, he gave the gughun to me, "It's a her" he said answering the question at the back of my head.

"What are you going to name her?" I wasn't sure to be honest, maybe cutie will do for now, "I don't know" I answered honestly, "how about star" he suggested, whilst standing up properly, he helped me up and we started walking again.

A smile grew on my face, I didn't think he would be so kind, "where were you clowy" Christian exclaimed, pulling me closer to him, "ohh how cute" I giggled, "is he- i cut him of, "she" I said sternly, he chuckled, "sorry what is her name"

"Star" I glanced over at the prince, a small smile crept on his face but disappeared immediately after he saw me looking him, "what a cute for a cute girl" Christian said in a tiny voice, I giggled, "we can continue this another time, its late the two of should get your rest" we both looked at the guard.

The prince wasn't standing beside him anymore. The guard led us to our rooms, giving us a key card, before he left. I placed star down, and unlocked the door, "clowy,"

"Yes?"

"Love you, goodnight" I chuckled "I'm shocked you can even tell if it's night time," i said whilst picking up star, he shrugged, "maybe its a gift" I nodded before entering my bedroom, i would be crazy in love with the interior and how big the bed is but I was too tired to.

It took a few minutes to realise that I didn't ask for a bed for star, I guess she will be sleeping with me tonight. I gently placed star down on the bed before getting comfort myself.

As tired as I was, somehow when I closed my eyes I couldn't sleep, I got up and went outside.

Maybe walking will help

I found myself standing in front of a huge glass filled with fishes of many kind, I sat down crisscrossed and placed my hand on the glass just admiring the view in front of me.

I didn't even realise I was laying down until my eyes started to close, my hand slowly slipped down the glass, as I drifted of to sleep.

_____

I opened my eyes and met two pair of blue beautiful eyes, "were you not pleased with the room I gave you?" And a very familiar yet not so friendly voice rang through my ears, I got up immediately and bowed, "I'm so sorry, I couldn't sleep so I came-

"Enough?" I nodded slowly "I'm sorry your highness" I said apologetically, "get her ready for breakfast" he told the women I didn't know were behind me, they all nodded, "hey clowy" Christian came out of no where, a huge smile on his face.

I jumped into his arms, I missed his hugs "Goodmorninig bestie" I exclaimed, "morning" he started spinning me around, "Christian stop I'm gonna vomit" he chuckled and let me down gently, I hit his arm.

"Sorry sorry" he rose his hands up, "well we need to get ready for breakfast" I said fixing my hair, "I wasn't invited," he said casually, well that's unfortunate, "have fun, Princess" he teased, I rolled my eyes, "will do" I said sarcastically.

He kissed my forehead, "I'm of, love you" I turned around, "where are you going?!" He stopped for a few seconds, "finishing what we couldn't yesterday!" I nodded, and turned toward the women behind me, they all had smiles on their faces.

Weird

"My room is down the hall"

"This dress is beautiful" one of the maidens said, they really went all out for breakfast, I wonder what I will wear at dinner. They led me to the dining room, the prince sat in a chair wearing white mixed with gold maybe.

"Sit down" he commanded i did as he said, he was a bit more calmer this time, "why didn't you sleep in your room?" He asked resting his chin on his palm, "I couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk" I answered honestly, he nodded.

Breakfast was awkward but thank goodness that, it only lasted for fifteen minutes, I wondered around for a while after politely asking for my lunch and dinner to be brought to my room.

I wasn't looking forward to another awkward time. I met Christian on my way to my room to eat my dinner and head to bed after brushing my teeth, "hey" I waved at him, "hi" he replied, wrapping his arms around me.

"Have you had your dinner yet?" He asked in between the hug, before pulling away, "not yet I'm about to" I answered, he nodded, "where are you going?" I asked, "the prince called for me," i nodded, he side hugged me before leaving, I opened my door and met star who I assume was waiting patiently for me.

"Hey cutie" I exclaimed before picking her up, she growled lowly at me, something I had never heard from her. I decided we both needed some not so fresh air, after I finished eating.

She was sitting by my leg rubbing herself around me in a cute way, i heard my door getting opened, thinking it was one of the maidens who came to take my empty lunch plate earlier, I didn't think too much about it.

"Clowy come inside" I heard Christians voice at the back of my head, weird I thought, before turning around to meet him in my room, I went inside with star following behind, "how did you- Nevermind" I cut myself of i gave him an extra key to my room.

He patted the bed gesturing for me to sit down, I did. "First of all, why is a huge white board in my room?" I asked, he brought his index finger to my lips, " shh that's not important right now," I nodded not wanting to ask anymore questions, star climbed her way up my leg and onto my lap.

"I want to get in the prince's office" he told as he slammed a stick on the board, I rolled my eyes, "Christian, its locked for a reason, can't you just be grateful that we are still alive?" I asked lifting an eyebrow.

"Just for once let's do what I want" he pleaded, "Christian we do what you want all the time, we are doing it right now, by being in Mars" I said slightly harsh, he frowned, I hate it when he's sad, "ugh fine what's your plan" I finally gave in, he grinned.

Clowy's pov:

"Wipe that grin of your face and tell me your plan" I said, bitting my lip to hold back my laughter, Christian rolled his eyes, "well as you can see, there's a big board in your room" I nodded. he continued. "Well my plan is that, since the prince loves you" he wiggled his eyebrows, earning a very unamused expression from me.

"Come on its kind of obvious" he sat down beside me and petted star, "Christian" I warned, he hummed a response, "get it over with before, your butt gets kicked out of my room" I threatened he got up in a rush and grabbed the stick.

"Okay" he started hitting the board again, "you my dearest friend," I rolled my eyes, "will be distracting the prince"

"Why?" I questioned, he stared at me for a full minute before answering, "because he has the key on him, and I'm not going to politely ask him to give it to me" he replied rather harshly, "calm down, I was just asking"

"Sorry, I'm just a bit stressed it's all" he apologised before sitting next to me again, "you don't have to do anything you know, we can just enjoy being here" I suggested, he shook his head, "I'm not stressed about that clo, it's...nevermind"

I sighed. He is the most sharing person I know, something most be really bad for him not to tell me, "Christian you know you can tell me whatever is bothering you right?" I kissed his forehead head, he finds it comforting.

"It's nothing don't think about it too much. now on to what I was saying" he stood up, returning back to the board, I looked down at star who was now sleeping all so peacefully, how cute. "You distract the prince" I turned my attention back on Christian.

My eyes widened for some reason, "okay" I nodded slowly, "alright, I will be right behind you and him but I will be hidden" he winked at me, I rolled my eyes. "Once he's too distracted to tell i will grab the key and show that office door whose boss" he placed his hand on his hips whilst looking up like superhero.

I mentally cringed, "Christian, is that all?" I asked. i was expecting a little bit more than that, to be honest, he nodded, "well then get your butt and your board out of here" I placed star gently down on the bed.

"Love you bestie" he slightly yelled on his way out, I chuckled, "yeah yeah love you too" I replied before closing my door, and going to lay down next to star, i better get some rest, tomorrow is gonna be a long day.

"Is there anything you're interested in?" The prince asked, giving me a single white rose, it wasn't a romantic gesture, he said it just reminded him of me, which I found very nice and left me blushing for a full minute.

"Ah..no not really, but thank you for the rose" I replied, "well please tell me if you need anything, I will gladly give it to you" I nodded, I actually had something in mind, "lava cake" maman would always make lava cake for me on my birthdays, it became my favourite ever since my 7th birthday.

"I will let Crystal know" what a beautiful name for someone, he gave me one more white rose before leaving, Christian appeared from behind the coach, "clowy" I turned my attention from the couple of white roses in my hand, to Christian, "yes" I answered, he stared at me completely dumbfounded.

"You like him" he said sitting where the prince sat, I was obviously going to deny it, "what no, why would I!" He rolled his eyes, pointing at the roses in hand, "it was just a friendly gesture" I said, earning yet again another eye roll.

"Say that to your red face," he said making me cover my face, he chuckled, "there's nothing to be embarrassed about, just try and not get distracted next time" I nodded with my hand still covering my face.

The prince returned with a lava cake, smiling widely, he placed it down, and sat back down, "What's wrong?" I removed my hands from my face, "nothing" I replied taking a look at the wonderful lava cake, it's so beautiful.

"Thank you" I said taking the plate, he shook his head, "no problem" I stabbed the cake with my fork.

it looks good but does it taste good?,

I brought it to my lips and opened my mouth, and once it landed on my tongue, it felt like home again, Crystal needs to get a raise, "this is wonderful!" I exclaimed, he chuckled, "is it your favourite?" He asked I nodded, stuffing my face with more of the delicious lava cake.

"Would you like it to be added to your desert this evening?" I nodded, "alright then, I will do it now before I forget" he said, I gave him a thumbs up, earning another chuckle from him, except the thumbs up was for Christian.

He snuck behind him and grabbed the key with ease, flashing me a smirk before he left, typical of him, the prince left with zero knowledge that his key just got stolen.

Christian put the key in his pocket before coming to view, "can't believe you did this to someone you love" he teased whilst shaking his head, "he even got you lava cake" he wiped away fake tears, "okay quit the nonsense" I spat, standing up, he chuckled.

"Doesn't he usually walk with guards?" I asked, Christian let out a very amusing laugh, "I knocked them out" wow him against aliens and he won, he must feel really proud of himself.

"Let's head to the office before he notices"

"I'll been there" I said, he rolled his eyes, "you just want to finish the cake," who wouldn't, "so what Christian?" I questioned taking another bite, he shook his head before leaving, an amused smile on his face.

I took my precious time to finish the cake before joining Christian, i joined him two minutes ago but decided to wait for a while and he had no clue. "So what are we looking for?" I asked leaning against the wall, he squeaked in surprise almost falling but managed to catch himself.

"When did you get here?" He asked coming towards me, "two minutes ago just decided to scare you" I answered plainly, he nodded handing me a necklace, "this is random" I said lifting a brow.

"I know, i wanted to give it you a while back but forgot to so" I took it, it was heart shaped, "is it real gold?" No way he can afford that, we are both broke, "I have my ways" nope "keep it"

"Oh please clowy you sound ridiculous, it's a gift to a friend from a friend," he took the necklace, "turn around" a smile crept on my face, before I nodded, and turned around.

He put the necklace on me and closed it, "isn't it beautiful," he asked placing his chin on my shoulder, "yeah" I answered holding onto the heart shape, "fun fact it has light, just in case you may need it" I nodded still admiring the necklace.

He kissed my cheek, earning a giggle from me, "thanks" I said "what are friends for" he replied, before lifting his chin of my shoulder, "it looks good on you"

"Thanks" he returned to whatever he was doing with a satisfied smile, I hadn't even realised how hot my face felt, until his eyes left mine.

Ugh I'm a blushing mess today

~~~~~~~

On earth:

"THEY ARE DEAD YOU HAVE KILLED THEM WITH YOUR CARELESSNESS" ever since we lost Christian and clowy the general has been ripping his hair out, and yelling at everyone, about how we have managed to kill two people, our first time taking people to space.

Even though the possibility of the two being alive and well is low it could still be possible, "sir please calm down they could still be alive" I was starting to doubt my own words, because if they were alive why aren't they trying to contact us in any way?.

"How can I calm down, how do you expect me to be calm at this moment, come on guys I'm ruined" I sighed, there is no convincing him, and I can't blame him whatsoever, we should have double checked.

"Sorry"

~~~~~~~~~~

On Mars

Christian's pov:

"Alright I got it let's go" I said showing clowy the file, she nodded her attention not fully on me, "What's that?" I stared at her pupils to see what she was looking at, something I've gotten good at over the years.

Dark, it was dark, I looked to my left, it was a round and very beautiful ball, but it was a trap for intruders, I looked up at her, a confused yet ready to explore look on her face, that's not good.

She got closer to the ball in a blink of an eye, "clowy no no no don't touch!!" The files fell from my hands as I ran towards her, but it was too late, she got caught by the ball, I fell on my face as the realisation hit me hard in the gut.

She's just trapped it will be fine I don't have to worry, she will find her way out, she has light any way the necklace has light yeah, she's definitely fine.

She's a smart girl she'll leave in one piece, yeah she's gonna be fine there's nothing to worry about, "yea.......

I grabbed the files and left closing the door forgetting to lock it but who cares, I went back to my room and closed the door a sigh of relief left lips before panic completely took over.

Clowy is gonna get caught if the prince goes in there, oh God why did I leave her, I opened my door slightly and peeked through, I saw two guards going into Clowy's room, I immediately closed mine and locked it.

Oh no

Clowy's pov:

It was dark, I couldn't see anything, I couldn't even see myself, I looked up, to try to find some kind of escape, only to meet darkness again, a bang came from the room above making me flinch, that small movement was enough for me to realise that the room I was in was a little biger, than I thought.

I started to feel around to find atleast a ventilation hole, and I could careless where I land as long as its far away from the prince, the place was a little big but very short in height.

I had to get in a dogy position to crawl a bit far away, but chances of me getting caught was still very high and the thought sent shivers down my spine everytime.

Wait....

The necklace has light, oh goodness I can't believe i forgot about that, I grabbed the heart, and pressed on it assuming that's how it works, and thankfully it was that easy, I could see my surroundings.

I crawled for two minutes until I finally found a ventilation, I managed to turn around and push on it with my feet until it fell down, causing a very unpleasant loud noise, I took my chances any way and went down as carefully as possible.

I felt two arms support me down, and immediately knew where I was, I turned around once I felt my feet touch the floor and wrapped my arms around his neck, in a form of a hug, "oh my God you are alive!!" I exclaimed tears brimming my eyes.

He wrapped his arms around my waist and lifted me up, "no stop don't spin me!" As always he ignored my comment, and did it, before placing me down ever so gently.

"Sorry I thought I lost you there for a second," his eyes and nose were red, he was crying, "aww....you know I'm too strong to go down that easy" I bragged flexing my non-existent muscles, he chuckled.

"Yea..." I hugged him just a little longer this time, he pulled my closer when I tried to let go anyway, leaving me with only one option and I wasn't complaining at all, today really is a long day.

Author's pov:

The prince had everyone in the kingdom gathered in the ball room, to find out whoever it was that decided it would be a good idea, to break into his office.

Well everyone but clowy and Christian, "your highness, clowy and Christian have not be found" azazel said in a low tone, Gandalf the prince, looked at him fuming with anger, azazel backed away a little to give him way towards their bedrooms.

The two along with some other guards went to where their rooms were, Clowy's room was obviously empty and Christian's room was locked, Gandalf out of anger and jealousy decided to break down the door.

He saw clowy sitting on Christians bed and Christian standing by a big board, "as you can see that is called not giving people privacy" clowy nodded before taking a quick glance at the Gandalfs way.

His anger calmed immediately seeing as his suspension was completely wrong, "What's- Christian cut him of, "I'm teaching clowy the basics of living like a royal, it will be happening soon anyway" he teased, sending a wink towards Gandalf, the thought made Gandalfs face heat up.

Making him turn around to face azazel his trusted guard, and only person he could call a friend in the kingdom, "that can all happen later, you two guide them to the ball room" he said before dragging azazel along with him as he left.

"You make it too obvious Gandalf" azazel said earning a frustrated sigh from Gandalf, "I'm not trying to hide it" azazel rolled his eyes, "say that to the conversation we had two hours ago" Gandalf was pleading for azazel to help him not be too obvious about it to atleast the people until things work out.

"How can I not be obvious, she's just too perfect, " azazel closed the door behind them, making Gandalf realise that they were in his room, "stop daydreaming, we have an important thing going right now," Gandalf sat down, "who cares," Gandalf answered, "your secret Gandalf, what will happen when they find out,"

"I'm a changed a man," Gandalf replied, earning a pitiful look from azazel, "it doesn't matter Gandalf, that's not what people will think,"

"Let me tell them then I don't what to have this secret anymore,"

"And I don't have to talk some sense into you again,"

"They will forgive me if I just come out and say it azazel, these people treat like their child!" Gandalf yelled tears brimming his eyes, "Gandalf think before you speak,"

"Their not going to kill me they can't kill me that rule was removed in 1987," the tears started to stream down his face, azazel stayed quiet, "I'd rather go to earth, Clowy's on earth,"

"What if she doesn't want to be with a murder" Gandalfs eyes widened, not only of shock but because of complete heartbreak, "get out" he said, azazel didn't hesitate to leave, he's done just enough to hurt him by saying that.

Hurt Gandalf felt broken, his tears fell uncontrollably, all of this because he was desperate for his mother to notice him, to notice that he exists.

He let out the most agonising scream azazel has ever heard, as he didn't leave completely but was standing right at his door, leading him to tears, aswell "God Gandalf," he said as a tear fell down his face to the ground.

Christian's pov:

I waited until the whole office thing calmed down a bit before excusing myself to return the key, atleast to place it somewhere.

I roamed through the corridor all the way to the living room, where I decided to put the key, I kept my guard up as I felt someone was following me, yet found no trace of Footsteps noises breathing even.

As I made my way back to the ball room, I felt a sharp and spine breaking thunder like feeling through my whole entire body, I felt paralysed for a second or so, but couldn't even comprehend what just happened to me before I found myself far away from the ball room.

Far away from the castle, and completely frozen, no part of my body moved, no matter how hard I tried, "dammit" it's gonna be long and upsetting day.

Clowy's pov:

It had been three hours and Christian still hadn't returned, from whatever he was doing, I went to my room hoping to see him standing there with a big white board, but it was empty, the only one there was star.

I shouldn't worry to much is what I kept telling myself, but who wouldn't be worried, I know he can handle himself, but the fact that something could be wrong with him hadn't skipped my mind, and that was killing me.

What's more disturbing is the fact that no-one even noticed that he was no where to be found, or maybe they didn't know yet, I'm really over thinking this.

I've been at the same place twice now and I'm starting to get frustrated, and tired, alright so this is more serious than I thought, that's good information but it makes me worry more.

Me looking for him is useless I should just tell the prince, he did say to tell him whenever I need anything, and right now I need to find my Christian.

I found myself standing in front of his office door, the door was half glass half wood, making it very easy to see someone coming inside or just standing there, like I was.

But he was too busy to notice me, so I just stood there analysing his face, and his ginger hair with his freckles that covered his whole face to his shoulders, how come I'm only notcing that now, his expression held some curiosity behind it, making that focused look vanish and turn to pure cuteness.

Clowy stop, this is not the time.

He finally looked up, causing me to freeze for some reason, he waved, I nodded, he gestured me to come inside with his finger, I did, "hello your highness" I greeted with a slight bow, "please address me by my name" I nodded...what's his name, "Gandalf, my name is Gandalf"

I tried to cover my face, because I was blushing, he did the same, woah "okay, Gandalf" I repeated just to be sure, I swear I saw his face get more red than it was, I think my did as well but I kept my cool.

He looked down, making me chuckle, this is so ridiculous, "if you don't mind me asking how old are you?" I haven't been curious about it until now, "nineteen" he answered, managing to lift up his head, I could only assume that it was a hard task.

"I'm twenty four" I said as I sat down, he nodded, "umm...you came here to tell me something?" How did he know, "how.....can you read my mind?"

"Mhm" wait....oh my gosh what if he knows, "I don't do it all the time, you looked worried, and you weren't coming inside so..." how caring so cute, clowy stop it, "uh well, Christian i can't find him i won't say he's missing but you know" that could have been worded differently.

"Okay, I'll tell azazel to let his men go look for him," I nodded, okay that's good, he will be found in no time, "thank you" i bowed going a little more lower this time, "oh no please don't do that, you are older than me" yeah but he's a royal.

"I know I'm a royal but, here is kind of different,"

"How different?"

"Like a matter of respect different, rich or poor royal or not its considered disrespectful for me to make you bow. Well unless you are okay with it, but I still wouldn't want you to" he explained, taking break to catch his breath, "is that why the maidens don't bow when they see you?" He nodded, "yeah, just a simple 'hello your highness' will do"

"Well except for Crystal, I'm a year older than her" he said almost proud, a smile crept on my face, "if you don't mind me asking," I had no idea how to word it, but it has been on my mind for a long time now, "yea...my mother died three years ago, the Queen and king......passed away due to an accident"

"Stop reading my mind Gandalf!" It's weird because I have so much on my mind what if he learns about the whole office thing, "sorry, you were struggling i wanted to help" it's not that at all.

He frowned it made me frown, "sorry for yelling," I apologised, he stood up, "it's fine, I won't do it anymore," that's good, "where are you going?" Oh yeah Christian's lost, how did I forget about that, what time of friend am I.

"Don't answer that" he chuckled as he ran his hand through his hair, in an attempt to fix it but it didn't work, they all just fell on his face, covering his eyes, he let out a sigh, "need help?" I asked, taking the hair tie in my hair out.

He needs it more than I do, "no I'm fine" lying to your elders is also very bad, "if you can see how many fingers I'm holding up then I will leave you alone." I didn't hold any of my fingers up, "two" how sad, I stood up and went toward him.

"None of my finger were up Gandalf" I said tieing his hair for him, he coverd his face with his hands, out of embarrassment or he was blushing again, "thank you" the way he spoke was less confident like his usual self he sounded more shy.

Why because of me does he like me? "No problem" I replied, he sent me a quick smile before leaving, I noticed a tint of colour on his face.

Gandalf's pov:

Azazel was right I'm terrible at hiding it, my face is more red than a tomato, I coverd my face with my hands to resist one of the maidens seeing me, but of course that wasn't going anywhere, I was stopped mid way, i peaked through my fingers to see who it was.

It was Crystal, she looked worried no sad panicked maybe, "your highness" she said bowing slowly her voice almost cracked, I removed my hands from my face, she knew I was most likely going to read her mind, I was going to do that exactly but she's really good at keeping her thoughts completely different from the expression on her face.

"What's wrong?" I asked, her hand held on tighter to my arm, "Crystal" I said calmly, she looked down then back on me, "there was duyion found in the soup you requested to be delivered to your office" duyion, a time of poison that will take someone out whithn a second.

Oh God

"I didn't do it I swear I would never- i pulled her towards me, cutting her words short, she cried into my chest lowly pleading for me not to let them kill her, why would they kill her without my permission?

I moved my hand up and down her hair, I heard some noise from a distance, "their going to-

"Shh.....I won't let them" I moved my hand from her back as I saw the two guards coming, she slowly moved away from me turning around to face them, "she didn't do anything" I said sternly, the two guards looked at each other then on the girl, eyeing her closely.

"Have you forgotten i can tell when someone is lying?" A gift I will forever thank my unknown father for, as long as I live. they both forgot it was kind of obvious, "sorry your highness" they both said, I furrowed my brow, "why are you apologising to me?"

"Our apologies Crystal" I nodded, they left. Crystal turned to me a smile crept on her face, "thank you I will never forget this" yeah but those two aren't trust worthy, "you should, you know what, follow me" she nodded.

I led her to a room near mine anyone rarely goes there so she will be safe, after I tell azazel to send his men to look for Christian, I will then announce her inoccence, I will probably keep her there for a few more months she deserves luxury, for being such a loyal cook, a loyal person in particular.

I opened the door for her, and gestured for for her to go inside, she looked at me, "I want you to stay here for a while until everything is sorted" she nodded bowing before she went inside.

I would say for long but I have her and Christian's life's to safe, "thank you" she said i nodded before closing the door, she looked happy maybe I should give her the room, she will be closer and will be able to come to me faster if she's in danger, though that's very low its still possible.

I ran to where I knew azazel would be, and to my disappointment he wasn't there, "tell azazel to tell you that I want him to tell you to go search for Christian, according to clowy he's no where to be found" I felt a hand on my shoulder, before I slowly got dragged away from the guards.

"Gandalf I'm the reason Christian is no where to be found" azazel said turning me around to face him, I was shocked, "what why?" He rolled his eyes, "isn't it obvious, Gandalf he's bad news, he's- i stopped him mid sentence.

"Azazel he's Clowy's best friend, if she finds out that!-

"Gandalf let me finish my freaking sentence!"

"You don't understand how much of a big deal this is, to her!!"

"Stop talking about her for one second!!,"

"How can i!?!"

"Stop thinking with your heart instead of your mind, Gandalf!!!"

"You try being in my place!"

"He's cyfrin!"
