Chapter Two:
Lukas Cain
Luke left his sister in her room and walked down the stairs, wondering how his poor sister put up with being the heir to the throne sometimes. He walked back to the kitchens and was met with the Royal Advisor, or Glitch, leaning over the sink his face wet from water and tears.
"Glitch? Are you going to be okay?" Luke asked, walking over to the man who was running a hand through his dark curly hair and over the scar that ran the length of his head.
"Hasn't she gone through enough?" Glitch asked quietly to himself, but Luke heard despite himself. Glitch shook his head to shake away the water and dried it off with the towel left behind by one of the kitchen maids. "I'm fine, just worried about your father, Prince, that's all," Glitch said trying to pull off one of his famous smiles, but failing terribly.
"Glitch, we all know that father is getting old and this might happen, there's no need to worry about Thea," Luke said and smiled, "and drop the formalities for the love of the Gray Gale!" Luke smiled as he saw Glitch's smile play at his lips.
"I'm sorry, Luke, but your sister worries me. She's only sixteen and she has only been in society for two years," Glitch said as he put his head in his hands and looked at a set of blueprints he had brought down with him earlier in the day and had kept them in a safe place. Leave it to Glitch to try and invent something in the middle of a crisis.
"Why do you worry so much about her? She's a strong woman she can handle everything that the OZ throws at her, yet you still worry," Luke said and Glitch's hand paused with his pencil half way to the paper. "Glitch, is there something you want to tell me?" Luke asked and Glitch stood quickly from his seat and excused himself from the kitchen.
Luke sighed and followed the taller man out of the kitchens and toward the bedchambers. Luke stopped at the door to the east wing and sighed. He had always had a sneaking suspicion that Glitch had been in love with Thea, but now his suspicions were confirmed.
Luke walked into his room and jumped onto the blue draped bed wishing he didn't have to live in his crazy life. Dealing with the rebellions that were rising in the North, the girls that keep throwing themselves at his feet, and the pressure of trying to keep his sister out of the harms of love; he couldn't take it any more. Luke curled up into a ball and tried to sleep, thinking of his half-brother, Jem.
'What would Jem do if he were me, here?' Luke asked himself falling into the darkness that sleep pressed against him. Luke reached into that darkness and gave in to its relaxing nothingness where all your problems would float away until you woke again.
