Chapter 2: doubts

Maxine's POV

once we were home I got myself cleaned up bit and just when I got myself out of the dress Gypsy Gyps used to wear I noticed the ring Arsenio had gotten me was still on my finger. I looked at it with a stunned look, before I carefully took it off and looked at it with a indicided look. I wanted to put it away so no one would find it... but at the other hand... it felt so right to just... wear it...

"but if Rex notices your still wearing it you will get either shouted at for keeping it ore he will take it from you and get some money for it..."

I thought with a sad look on the ring... the beatifull ring with the green diamond in the middle that arsenio had turned golden for me with his scepter... I was still in decision when I heard a knock on the front door. I now looked up, carefully slipping the thing on my finger then putting myself in my regular outfit before I went downstairs to see who had been knocking on the door.

"were here for miss Maxine... the prince wants to see her"

a man in a green uniform said pushing the other elfs aside and walked straight to me. I looked at the man with a unsure look before I turned around and ran towards my room, closing the door behind me. the man were fast but I was smarter and I knew the way here better then they did, so I managed to get into my room in time before they could so they couldn't force me to go to arsenio again... I didn't knew what I wanted yet so I didn't wanted to see him before I made up my mind...

Femke's POV

the whole thing with the elfs wanting to steal the magic scepter of the prince... I wasn't very fond of it so I stayed out of it, knowing that it was in the elfes nature to steal and wrech havoc... but when I saw Arsenio look at maxine... and when I saw maxine went after the prince to see if he had been okay after that crash in the pixiefalls... I KNEW... I just KNEW something was up between those two... and not the hate love relation you would think there would be when you just found out your fienance was a fake and only wanted to steal your magic golden scepter... but something match more precious then that... love... real true love... so I didn't looked up to suprised when Arsenio had send his guards to fetch maxine... but I WAS suprised by the way Maxine reacted... I would have thought she would jump of joy to see him again... but she tried to escape... and locked herself in her room to make sure the guards couldn't get to her...

"guys! wait... maybe she doesn't understands... and thinks Arsenio wants to punish her for pretending to love her... that isn't why he wants to see her right?"

I quickly asked last to make sure that wasn't the case so I didn't accidently tricked maxine into believing he wanted her back ore something...

"No my lady... the prince wants to talk to... make her marry her... he was completely smitted by her... after we returned to his home... he couldn't stop talking about her..."

The leader of the guards assured me with a smirk. I saw the others looked at me with a shocked look, while I slowly got up now and walked to the door of maxine's room.

"tell the prince he has to wait a little... I will talk to her... see what I can do for him..."

I said with a smile, before I let the man out, then... without telling the boys what I was planning to do I walked up to maxine's room and knocked on the door.

"Maxine... its me... femke... can I come in..."

I called. it was still in the room for a second before she finally opened the door in a crack, showing a face that was red... meaning she had been crying...

"are... are they gone,..."

She asked with a suspicious look while she looked around. I nodded and then put my feet behind the door so she couldn't close it again.

"listen... I know were not the best of friends... and that i'm all that a elf shouldn't be... but... know that he didn't wanted to see you to hurt you... know that he wanted to make you his no matter what... because it seems he truly loves you"

I said with a sten look before I pulled my feet back then turned my back on her, allowing her to think about that...

Maxine's POV

I was in my room crying now... I didn't know why i'm crying but the tears came so fast that I couldn't fight them off in time... but then again... this whole situation with Arsenio was so confusing... I mean... I loved rex more then anything in the world... he was the martest most handsome elf I have ever met... but Arsenio was... well... a pixie to start with... but even do he was a pixie he had been kind and caring towards me... and now he wanted to see me... even do the rules forbade elfs and pixies to marry... ore even be KIND to one another... (not that elfs would EVER be kind to pixies) he wanted to see me agian...

"Ofcourse... he can also have called me back to punish me for playing with his feelings like that"

I thought when I heard a knock on my door. I first wanted to ignore it, thinking that It might be the pixie agents wanting to get in like that... but that changed when I heard the voice of our friend femke call.

"Maxine... its me... femke... can I come in..."

her voice called to me. I grumped, knowing it was most likely a trick to make me believe they had gone and they I was safe...

"wel I wasn't falling for it... not now not ever! "

I thought while I opened the door in a crack looking around the corner with a suspicious look.

"are... are they gone,..."

I asked suspiciously while I looked around to see if they were maybe waiting for me somewhere... But to my great suprise she WAS alone... it seemed the guards had left, because when I listened carefully I heard... nothing else... no rex complaining that these clean freaks were in our house... nothing... it was completely silent... like it should be,...

"listen... I know were not the best of friends... and that i'm all that a elf shouldn't be... but... know that he didn't wanted to see you to hurt you... know that he wanted to make you his no matter what... because it seems he truly loves you"

Femke said with a stern foot after she put her foot between the door so I couldn't close it halfway down her speech. After she was done talking she turned her back on me and just... left... leaving me alone to think... at one hand I just wanted to wave the thing off and go on with my life here with the elfs... but for some odd reason... I was doubting if I would be able to get on with my life IF I decided to let go and move on...

"well... only one way to find out..."

I thought while I walked down the stairs and into the living room were the others were. Rex was reading a spell book, and yucca and floxy were helping femke making dinner... everything was the way it was supposed to be... ore wasn't it... when I looked at rex I didn't felt love anymore... it had changed in something else... something... I couldn't describe...

"maybe it's just because I have to get used to him again... I have been pretending to be someone else's girlfriend for so long..."

I thought while I sat down next to him and put my arm around his shoulder, something Arsenio always had enjoyed when I was still gypsy gyps, but Rex was a elf... and elfs don't like visual contact ... so he shook my arm away and looked at me in a annoyed way... something I hadn't see arsenio doing... ever...

"wait! am I seriously comparing rex to arsenio..."

I thought while tried to read the spell rex was reading over his shoulder, but he was holding the book so that I couldn't...

"Rex... what are you reading? new plan?"

I now asked with a small smile, hoping he would tell me something now, but he just grumbled and turned away from me, not allowing me into the new plan.

"come on, don't be like that... you know it was the pixies that were responsible for the revealing... I couldn't help I told him the truth..."

I said with a sad look, knowing how betrayed and annoyed he must feel now, and I felt bad about telling Arsenio the truth before it was time as well but it wasn't my fault... he had to understand that it was somehow the pixies doing...

"that isn't what i'm mad about Maxine... its about what you did AFTER we went down..."

Rex now coldly said while getting up slapping the book shut and placing it back on the shelve...

"Rex... I can explain that... just calm down now okay... "

I calmly said, realizing he must have noticed I went after Arsenio after he had crashed, and wasn't to happy about it...

"CALM DOWN! YOUR A ELF FOR BADNESS SAKE! HOW COULD YOU GO AFTER HIM! AS IF YOU CARED!"

Rex now raged, causing everyone else in the room to look up from what they were doing to look at us.

"you don't get it... I was just... that was just the remainder of Gypsy gyps... telling me to go after him to see if he was okay... thats behind me now..."

I said with a firm look on my face. But it musn't have sounded to convincing because Rex launched evily making the ring Arsenio had turned golden for everyone's eyes appear before my nose.

"why is this still here then... if your SO loyal to us..."

Rex said in a deathly calm voice. I looked at it with a shocked look, before I made a subconscious grab for the ring, but Rex was faster and grabbed the ring before my nose and used his magic to snap it in 2 halves.

"I'm sorry but it's for your own good... your a elf he's a pixie... its never gonna work out... forget about him..."

His voice said out of the distance, as if he was standing miles away from me, all I could do was look at the broken ring with a sad look.

"Maxine..."

Femke's voice said sadly, before I felt her warm hand on my shoulder. I didn't reacted, feeling something sting in the corner of my eyes, suddenly I got up and run out, feeling warm tears flow over my face as I did so... I didn't looked back, I didn't felt the need to... I just wanted to be alone for now... so that I could make up what my hearth truly wanted...

and with that I FINALLY end my second chapter. I'm sorry that it took me so long to update, but I long didn't have any insperation and was bussy with other stories. I hope you all like it enough to
