Fine's POV

I watched as Shade was getting pulled away. This is why I hate myself. I am a girl, but just because I'm a girl, doesn't mean that I'm weak. I pulled off all of my extensions so my short, messy wig was visible. I ripped off my skirt and unraveled the black pants. Much better. I ran towards the direction of the smoke. Looks like a couple of bombs went off. When I got there, I saw robots of the latest technology. Not bad, but... a crowd came towards me. I jumped high to dodge the bullets and knives. I took out some daggers and threw them all, having them blow up. They're good, but not good enough.

But who would do something like this? I continued to destroy more of the robots using my guns that was the only reminder I had of Mother. The Jewelry Kingdom is suppose to have the latest technology, but robots like this aren't their style and I don't see an emblem of any of the countries, either, so who? Soon I took care of all of them and the man from earlier came up to me and said,"Thank you for helping us Prince Fine."

"It's no trouble. Anyways, have you found any sign of who could have sent these gifts?"

"There's this," he said handing a piece of metal to me. It had a black crescent moon and a black sun. This is... "This symbol was on all of the robots. Does it look familiar at all?"

"Yes, I've seen it. I'll tell my Mother about today's situation and have more guards stationed around here. Please make sure that you clean this up carefully, so you don't put fingerprints on it and send it to the castle," I ordered.

"Yes," he said bowing.

I pocketed the metal and I felt Shade's presence. "Fine-"

"Shade, just stop. It's already over. Remember to keep the secret and I promise I'll stop bugging you. Later," I said, walking away, not wanting to hear a word that Shade was going to say. Why am I being like this? Is it because I was hurt that he didn't like me? No. I...He was never that important to me. This was the best decision, I am not Rein, I don't want to know the nightmare known as love.

When I got back, I just drowned myself into work that I needed to do. So many papers, I shouldn't have gone out today. "Moon, you knew all along didn't you," I asked, not looking up from my paperwork.

"Why didn't you keep your mouth shut and enjoy it for a while? Indulge in your desires-"

"That's a weird choice in wording."

"But it was the perfect choice. You get happiness for yourself and that person to have a romantic relationship with you. All you had to do was ignore all the logic and base your choices on your feelings. Don't you have any desire for happiness at all?"

"Because I don't deserve happiness. It was all my fault, because I was incapable. Besides, he was probably regretting what he said to me the minute he said it to me, and he didn't seem hurt at all," I told her. "If I be logical, then it won't hurt."

"Is that really true? Weren't you happy though? To be with him as a girl? I've seen the longing in your eyes for it, and right now, I see tears."

I realized that there were wet teardrops on the paper. I stopped writing and looked at her. "You really are a cruel person. Stop making me regret the decisions that I make. I will take and accept the consequences for my decisions."

"Hm... acting so strong, when you're really not. It's foolish." I just glared at her. "Love is something that everyone finds and something that is given to everyone, even if it's only once, even if it's only for a short amount of time. That's why you have to treasure those moments. I'm sorry Fine, I should have warned you."

"What's done is done. Shade was still in love with Rein. I'm happy with this outcome." I can't change the past, no matter how hard I try, no matter how much I want to change. "Love and me don't mix, it's as simple as that. I have never wanted to fall in love."

"I see. I won't argue with what you believe, but are you really content with just this? If you aren't careful, you'll break into pieces again and this time, you won't be able to put yourself back together. This is just a warning," she said leaving the room. Now what could break me apart this time? I've already become like this, is it still not enough to become strong? Am I still not strong enough? Even though I have already given up all the desires that I had for becoming a normal girl.

I finished my work with that question in my head. Finally finished. I looked at the metal that I got from earlier and traced the mark. There's no doubt in my mind, it's the same mark as before, the one that was drawn in Father's blood. I will find out who it was and kill them, I won't be content if I don't. I took out my pair of guns and stared at them, remembering Mother. That's the reason why I'm able to live right now.

Shade's POV

I stared at the workbook problems, having no desire to do them, so I put my pencil down. A week has past already, and I still don't know how I'm suppose to face Fine. I just don't want her to think that I was pitying her but what am I suppose to say? I'm an idiot aren't I? "Shade, if you're thinking that you're an idiot, then you're right. You are a complete idiot."

"Rein? What are you doing here?"

"I need to talk with you," she said with a serious look on her face. I swear if she's here because- "What exactly did you do to Fine?" It's official, the world hates me. "I have a bunch of weapons with me right now, but before I use them I want to discuss this peacefully."

"It's simple. I did nothing, Fine... I don't even know what to say. She just... knew that I didn't like her," I said simply.

"Then why did you say that you liked her in the first place?"

"I don't know. I just did. I don't think that there was much of a reason, I think it was probably because I pitied her." That's right. I felt sorry that she had to go through so much. Even through I lost my Father, she lost both of her parents and now has to take care of Rein and her country as it's prince and queen. I don't see how I can't feel sorry for her.

"Really? To me it seems that you really did like her, because of her strength." I looked at her in shock. What is she saying? "Shade, I think that your heart was speaking for you that time."

"My heart?" For that to still exist... "How strange, I thought that I lost that thing a long time ago. Feelings really are things that are annoying and useless. Why did I even try to believe that person's words?"

"Shade, stop lying to yourself, it's-"

"Rein, just stop it. It's annoying. You're going to see Bright right? Then hurry up and go," I said noticing her somewhat fancy outfit. "I'll keep my mouth shut about that secret of hers, so she has to keep up her end of the bargain by not bothering me." She stared at me for a while, then went out the door, sighing in defeat. Really... why do I always act so strange? But it's better this way, I've been feeling emotions too much lately.

"You're such a fool, more than the other one. Why are you like this? I thought that people who didn't have a strange aging process, matured faster, but it appears that is not true," A familiar voice that I hate said. "Tell me, why is it that you're like this? Stubborn and stupid, it's a very bad combination."

"How did you get in here?" I asked as she sat down on my bed and as I turned my chair to face her.

"Do you really want to know?"

"Why are you here to begin with? I doubt it's because you want to teach me math and shooting. Also, why are you so concerned with what happens to Rein or Fine? Are you really not friends with those two?" Now's the perfect time to ask questions.

"So many questions, let's have tea and talk," she said snapping her fingers making a tea set and cookies appear. One of the cups flew over to me. Should I drink this or is it poison? I wouldn't put it aganist her if she did. "There's no poison, that's just rude. I'll say this again, why would that benefit me if I were to kill you or anyone else?"

"You act like you've killed people before." The look on her face, I really can't tell anything from it. It's the same as the look that I got from Fine that time. I can't tell or even guess what she is thinking.

"As for your questions, I'm here, because I am annoyed. Utterly annoyed. Also, it's not right for me to say this, so I was going to wait, but there's a time limit on Fine's body," she said staring into the black tea. "She might not be able to take it soon."

"What are you talking about? I swear if you're just joking about something to me then-"

"Shall I be more blunt? Fine isn't going to be able to handle the changes to her body." What? "Don't you remember? That time you were playing around with those robots."

Now that I think about it... "See? My body could barely handle this, what do you think it'll do to yours? The damage is much worse than you think." When she said that... Exactly what did she mean?

"I'll enlighten you. She's still not old enough to impersonate her mother, Queen Elsa's at least 25 years older than her. Her boy form is very easy to create but under some circumstances, she must rely on my powers and because of that, her body will suffer," she said taking a cookie. With all the pain that her body goes through from growing up and shrinking... things will effect her twice as much as they affect me.

"Is it because of those pills?" I asked pushing away the plate of sweets and remembering the medicene like things that Fine took that one time right after I found out that she was actually a girl.

"I made those. She knew all of the consequences if she was going to have me grant her wishes, she knew the risks and still she did it."

"Why are you telling me all of this? Do you believe that something will happen if you tell me all this?"

"I want to see a wonderful story come out, I am unfortunately a sucker for happy ending," she said taking a sip of tea. "Anyways I granted her three wishes, and in exchange I took all of the photos that she had of her parents, forced her to let me stay here when needed, and she also gave up a precious decor that her Mother gave her."

"So you grant wishes? Then why couldn't you have just granted a wish to make it so the real Queen Elsa would come back? That would have a lot of things fixed-"

"I cannot grant that wish." What? I swear if it's because she's stubborn or if she says that she doesn't have enough power- "Fine has nothing to give me in return if I do that, and at the same time, if I were to grant that wish, I would be overturning an important rule, that must never be broken. What is it, is what you're wondering? Take a guess."

Huh... there's a rule like that? I would guess... the way of fate probably? Or maybe it's the way that things are suppose to be... But that doesn't seem entirely right. Is there even a rule that must never be overturned in the first place? A rule like that seems almost impossible to be true. Wait a minute... "Since I obviously have no idea, you're not going to tell me what it is are you?"

"No. I'll leave you guessing. As for your other questions, I am friends with Fine and Rein when I can be, but when it comes to business, I abandon my feelings and act like a professional," she said. "Oops, I've been gone for too long. Well I'll leave you with this, do you really think that she's alright? Do you really think that she's strong enough to handle something like what you did to her?"

"What-" She snapped her fingers, disappearing. Shit... I'm more confused now. What were the wishes that she granted anyways? To become like a boy and Queen Elsa... but then what else? And when she said that last part... Does that mean that Fine's broken hearted or something? No that's impossible, I can't even see her like that, not at all. I didn't even like her, so it couldn't have hurt and Fine knew that I didn't like her from the start. But then why do I feel this guilt?
