Hello reader sorry for the long wait, life kind of got in the way. But I hope you enjoy this this chapter and I promise I'll give you another one soon.

Aria

I stared at myself in the mirror. What were you thinking? Was the thought that screamed through my head. "Why? Why in this sweet world would you ask Orland to join you? Orland! The Ice King!" I whispered in a hushed tone, I didn't need mother or father to hear me yell about sneaking out to meet a boy, especially the town's young elf.

At least one person in my family seemed to have had a pretty good day. Dad came home with a huge smile on his face and seemed to have completely forgotten about his awkward phase this morning with a cheerful voice and a skip in his boot. (Sorry I forgot the phrase)

The sky was growing darker and darker as my parents were getting ready for bed. I stared into my battle bag, which was filled with weapons, maps, candles and candy which I stole from the kitchen after dinner, double checking that I had everything I needed. Then I stepped back over to my mirror. I was wearing my normal attire except I had on my old winter jacket and hiking boots, but something didn't feel right. I looked at my face; I rarely ever wore makeup, only on special occasions like holidays or weddings. I stared wondering wither I should wear some tonight or not.

Of course not! Why would you even think that? It's not like Orland would notice anyway… I didn't understand why I was thinking or feeling this way. True he was handsome, most elves are and he was smart, no one could protest that however he was the most argent and insufferable person this side of the country.

But even when I keep telling myself that I kept on thinking about him. The way his platinum blonde hair blows in the wind, how his ice blue eyes always sparkle in the sun light and how pleasant he always smells like a mixture between heavy spice and the midnight air. It was then when I heard a small rapping on my door, "Hey honey you awake?" My eyes widened as I quickly kicked my bag into the corner of my room and threw my jacket over it hoping it'd look like a pile of dirty clothes. Then I quickly grabbed my hairbrush and ran back to my mirror.

"Come in." My dad walked in slowly with a small, almost sad smile on his face.

"Hey what are you doing up so late Aria? At dinner you said didn't very feel well?" he asked as I began to brush my hair out.

"Oh the feeling went way after I ate a little something and I had some last minute homework to finish. Is there something wrong?" He gave me another small smile before he sat down at the edge of my bed and motioning me to come sit next to him.

"I have realized that this morning I was acting a little strange and that I might have even scared you. It's just I finally realized something myself today and this thing frightens me but it doesn't excuse my behavior this morning and how I acted towards you… Well what I'm trying to say is that I'm sorry." I looked up at my father to see that his cheeks were a little red and a gave out a small chuckle before giving him a hug.

"Aw daddy you didn't scare me, I already knew you were crazy, but thank you for apologizing." My father gave out a hearty laugh before getting up and placing a kiss on my forehead.

"Alright silly girl you finish getting ready for bed, it's going to be a big day tomorrow remember. I love you."

"I love you too daddy." My father closed the door and I gave out a small sigh. I was starting to feel bad about seeking out but I wasn't going to miss this adventure for anything. So I threw on my jacket and grabbed my bag. Then I stuffed pillows under my blankets, blew out my candle and opened the window. And when I finally landed softly on the ground I set off for my new adventure.

After my little talk with Aria I felt a little ashamed. Was it really a good idea to ask Douglas for help? Should I just trust her to make her own chooses? I tried my best to shake those thoughts out of my head but they kept on coming back causing me to feel guilty, Of course not. I'm her father, I'm merely protecting her.

When I opened the door to my bedroom I found my looking at beautiful wife sitting under the covers reading an old book. Her beautiful blue hair flowed like a waterfall down her back, her twinkling eyes jumping from word to word as she flipped the pages of her book. I stared at her a little bit in the door way caressing this magical moment.

When she finally looked up she was little surprised to see me there but only a second later she gave out a small chuckle setting her book onto the bedside table. "Darling what are you doing?"

"Oh nothing, just looking at one of most amazing creatures in this world." I saw her cheeks go a light shade of pink before I walked over to her, climb on top of her and placed a passionate kiss on her ever so soft lips. "Have I ever told you that I'm luckiest man in the world for being your husband?" I gently purred in her ear as she ran her fingers run through my hair. I felt her cheeks become hot which only made me have a smirk appear on my face.

"What's gotten into you?" she asked in a whisper before I gave her another passionate kiss.

"I need you tonight…"

Orland

I sat at my desk trying to concentrate on my textbook, however the feeling of anxiety kept pulling on my nerves and the sound of Aria's voice filled my mind. Shit I can't concentrate… Why is that? I didn't understand, I wasn't anxious because of the idea of ghost, they don't exist, but if it wasn't that, then what would it be? Then I started to think of Aria, the beauty of her smile, the sweetness of her voice, the silky touch of her hair, the chocolate color of her eyes, the way her lips were shaped and I imagine how incredibly soft they were. I shook my head as a blush spread across my face what the hell are you thinking? This is the girl who is forcing you to leave your studies and go on a pointless ghost hunt. I looked up at my cloak, 9:55; I gave out a small sigh. Well here goes nothing.

I had everything set for sneaking out, pillows were under my bed, my parents were getting ready for bed and my Grandfather was already asleep. No one was in the inn tonight that, which made it quite simple to sneak out. As I quietly walked down the stair I heard a small cough, "Have a good night with Aria, Orland." I looked behind me to see my grandfather making a cup of tea. I stood there shocked until I straightened up my back and gave a small cough.

"I thought you were asleep…" My grandfather gave me a chuckle before walking over to his room and as he passed me he said,

"I'm not that old Orland, I know how people act when they have something to hide, I did raise your father you know. Tell Aria I said hello." With that he walked into his room. To tell the truth if anyone was a ghost it would be him.

Once I got out side I began to walk down the street, my pace quickening each step I took. I didn't understand why I was in such a hurry. I wasn't at all excited about looking for ghost, was it because of Aria. "Stop!" I demanded of myself as got to the school. I looked around for a moment and then I saw her staring at a cherry tree. Ok let's start this pointless adventure.
