Chapter 2 

Sila

It's my 13th birthday today. I'm having the time of my life. All my friends and family are here. Everything was going perfect 'til Roger pulled me to the side. I don't particularly like him much at least that's what he thinks. He's a very nice person when we're alone, but when ever the guards come over he becomes all strict on me. It frustrates me so.

He took me to the Whyte Garden my favorite place. It's the brightest place in the Lyte World and love it because it's filled with the whitest daisies. I dropped to the ground causing my white dress to puff up under me.

“What do you want, Roger? Because, if you haven't noticed, I have guests to tend to.”

He handed me a small black box with a white bow tied around it. “I got this for you and I just wanted to give it to you before you opened all of your other presents.”

I took my gaze from the box to him and he turned a little pink. It made me giggle to see him blush.”Thank you, Roger, but you didn't have to.”

“Your the princess and I wanted to.”

“Well, thank you again.”

I pulled the ribbon from the box and lifted the lid off to find a black bead in it. It looked familiar,but I didn't remember were I had seen it before.

“It's made from black obsidian. I saw you looking at it in the window of Raven's Lost Treasures and I thought you should have it being the princess and all.”

I pulled the gem from the box and found it had a white chain making it long enough to be a necklace. I unhooked the necklace and put on my neck. It fit perfectly. I felt his gaze on me following my every move until I looked up. His eyes fell to the floor watching his feet. I stood up slowly and walked over to him and he finally looked up turning pink again. I grinned and decided to take a chance. I gently kissed his cheek causing him to turn a bright red. I was loving every second of it. I took his hand and we walked back to the party not letting him let go.

Roger

I was extremely happy that she liked my gift, but I didn't expect her to kiss me or to take me as her escort at her party. It was so embarrassing. I mean I do like her, a lot,but the guards were giving me strange looks and it bothered me even more. I would try to let go of her hand and she would hold it tighter.

When I tried it a second time and she whispered to me,”It's rude to leave a princess all by herself especially if it's known that your my escort.”

“Well, do you think you could loosen your grip. My hands are getting all sweat and it bothers me. I'm surprised it doesn't bother you.”I whispered back and thankfully she did let me wipe my hand on my pants, but then she grabbed it again. This was going to be an interesting day.

Towards the end of the party she let me go, but she told me that she wanted to talk to me in the Whyte Courtyard. I went obediently and I found her sitting in the grass fiddling with the necklace I gave her.

“Roger, I'm sorry.”

“What? What for?”

“For embarrassing you the way I did. I mean it must have because I saw the guards watching you and I know how important it is to you to be accepted by the others. I'm sorry it's just that. I don't know.”

“What?”

“I kind of enjoyed it. Embarrassing you. It was kind of fun. I don't get to do it often and your never nice to me in front of the guards, so I guess I just wanted a little revenge. I'm sorry.”

I looked at her in surprise, but then my mood quickly changed into guilt. I never realized that I did that to her. She must have felt very guilty because she was still messing with her necklace. I sat down and took her hands, so she would look at me.

“Sila, I'm sorry for treating you the way I did causing you to want to take revenge on me, but it's okay now.”

“But...but I feel so bad for doing it.”Tears started to form on the edge of her eyes as she watched me.

“Don't.”I leaned down and kissed the edge of her right eye casting a salty taste into my mouth. It made her smile a sad smile. She let her head fall to my chest and she closed her eyes slowing her breathe to match mine.

“Thank you, Roger.”
