Note from Eve: Okay guys. Sorry I haven't updated. I've been busy with school and Color Guard and Band and all the other stuff. I will try to update faster. K thx and enjoy.
P.S: Italics are Dagger's thoughts.
That Night in Lindblum…
Zidane had just arrived in the Theatre District and was now going to see his family- Tantalus. He slammed the door open making his big entrance as usual.
Cinna then looked up towards the door.
"Zidane! Your back? I thought you were going to stay with the Queen."
"Yeah..well..Let's not talk about it. I'm home now, so now we can hang out like old times."
Zidane smiled so nobody would suspect anything.
Blank then raised an eyebrow.
"Trouble in Paradise I take it bro?"
"No, no..I just told Dagger I wanted some time to catch up on old times and visit everyone."
Of course Blank knew Zidane was lying. He can always when he was lying but he just let it go. Even though he would never admit it, He was glad to see Zidane again.
So the guys all hung out together again just like told times, Staying up all night playing poker and cracking jokes about each other.
Alexandria Castle…
Dagger stood out on her balcony gazing the night sky. Of course she had Zidane on her mind. She just couldn't understand why he rejected her. It didn't make sense. But she just couldn't help but to giggle at the thought that when they first met all he wanted was to hook up with her and now that he can have her he pushes her away.
She made her way back into the bedroom just as there was a knock at her door.
She jumped up startled.
"Zidane!?" she said exited.
"No your Highness. 'Tis I, Beatrix. I just wanted to see if you were okay. May I come in?"
"Yes, you may enter."
Beatrix opened the door slowly and closed it behind her.
She looked over at dagger sitting on the bed, her head low so that Beatrix couldn't see her face. She made her way to the bed and sat down beside her Queen.
Dagger then threw herself onto Beatrix and cried on her shoulder.
"Beatrix, I just don't get it! Why would he do this to me?"
"I don't know…But I think he'll come around. Maybe he was just overwhelmed with returning."
"I hope so...I really hope so."
Beatrix then tucked Dagger in and turned off the light before exiting the room.
"Goodnight my Queen."
"Goodnight."
Dagger then slipped into a deep sleep with thoughts and dreams of Zidane.
That morning at the castle…
Dagger woke up hoping that Zidane would be right there next to her, but of course he was not.
She sighed as she got out of bed and got dressed.
As she made her way down the hall to the dining hall she thought of something.
She gasped. I got an idea! What if I went to visit Tantalus, I know he's there. Maybe he told them why he made this irrational decision. Yes, I will go talk to them. I just have to make sure Zidane isn't there when I go there…
Dagger then ran down the steps into the dining hall.
Steiner looked up at her in wonder.
"Your highness? Is there a problem?"
"Oh no Steiner, It's just um, I have a busy day today. I will be going to Lindblum to speak with the Regent. Can you pack a lunch for me?"
"No problem my Queen, would you like to be accompanied?"
As he said that he got started on packing her lunch.
"No thank you, this is a private matter. I must go alone, I won't be gone for long so no need to worry."
"Oh, I see. Very well then."
They stood in silence for a minute or so while he finished packing her lunch.
"Here you go."
He handed the bag of lunch to Dagger.
"Thank you Steiner."
With that she ran to the private airship, Alexandros, which the Regent had built for her sometime last year.
"Ski? Are you here?" Dagger called out.
The young pilot came out of his room and greeted her.
"Oh, good day your highness. What may I do for you?"
"Can you take me to Lindblum?"
"Right away, climb aboard"
Ski reached out for Daggers hand to help her board the ship.
She took hold of his hand and he lifted her into the ship.
Back in Lindblum…
"Come on you guys, I wanna go play pool!" yelled Cinna.
"Okay chill bro." said Marcus.
"Yeah let's go. You sure you don't wanna go with us bro?" Zidane looked to Blank.
"Yeah, I'm gonna just stay here and chill."
"Okay, suit yourself."
The crew then left to the bar to play some pool.
In the Airship…
"My Queen, if I may ask. Why are you going into Lindblum today?" Ski asked.
"Oh, well. I need to speak with Zidane."
"I see. I'm very sorry about what he did to you."
Dagger looked up at Ski.
"Thank you for your concern Ski, but its okay."
Ski looked over at Dagger.
"No it isn't your highness. You're beautiful and Zidane is a fool for leaving you."
Dagger smiled at that thought.
"Well we're here your highness."
"Ski, just call me Dagger. Okay?"
She then kissed him on the cheek and climbed off the airship before he could say anything else.
Dagger then looked to the sky.
I will get my answers Zidane, even if the answers aren't from you. I deserve to know.
Twenty minutes later Dagger was at the door of the Tantalus home.
She knocked softly and waited till someone came to the door.
After a few Seconds Blank opened the door a bit surprised to see the queen standing before him.
"Dagger? What brings you here?" He asked in curiosity.
"Hello Blank, May I come in and have a chat?"
Blank then moved to the side and let the queen in.
Well that's the end of Chapter 2. Try and predict what will happen next. I know, the suspense just kills. lol.
