Britt moved away as she left with Atem behind her as everyone started to gather to eat. Britt walked over taking a plate as Atem did too but she walked to a table of her closest friends but sadly she didn't have room for him to join her so he went and sat by his own friends. Mana and Mahad saw he seemed distracted today as they looked over where he was.

"You're getting attached to a Rebel." Mahad said

"She's not what you expect Mahad." Atem said to his friend as they all started changing the subject and eating. Meanwhile Britt was the one looking over at him this time.

"Britt." Mira said

"Hm, What?" She asked Mira

"You spend a lot of time with one Recruit.." Harthor said

"He is your Rebel champion, Can I not try to train him alone?" She asked

"It's more than that. We see how you react with him." Nannia said

"Nothing is going on, I Promise." Britt said

"Don't lie Britt, we know the truth of you. Your family unlike the others and Jake." Zoey said

"I'm aware." Britt said

As they were finishing up Britt left the table her friends following behind her, She walked past the table Atem was at and gave a brief smile to him as she kept walking. Her friends all noticed and they glanced at him wondering what was so special about him that had their friend smiling. As they kept walking Britt walked into her chambers the girls following behind her as she sat on her bed. Zoey closed the door behind her. Little did they know Jake had secretly followed and was listening.

"Alright spill it." Mira said

"As you five know I am a Princess, this is a royal training ground and It's my family's royal training ground. What I didn't say is my mom and dad have this training ground marked as full so my grandfather won't come here." Britt said

"The same grandfather you've been running from." Harthor said

"Yes, if he gets a hold of me he decides my fate. He'll force me into a marriage I don't know if I want." Britt said

"Wait, I though it was a marriage you don't want." Zoey said

"It was that way, until I met him.." Britt said

"Met who?" Olivia asked

"My betrothed. He's here." Britt said

so I was right! Jake thought

Zoey was surprised to hear this from her "You met him and he's here? Ho-..The recruit you hang out with." Zoey asked

"Indeed, I threw the paper at him and was upfront on my thoughts about it...when I realized he didn't know." Britt said

"that's shocking." Mira said

"So we've been talking and hanging out which led to..." Britt cut off and blushed a little.
"To what?" Nannia asked

"heh, We kissed..but it didn't happen again..but I like it." Britt said

Jake had known about the kiss for he'd walked in on her kissing him only he didn't know they'd kissed twice but she wasn't giving that information to her friends. Jake was furious but he kept his cool as he left.

A little later Britt called a meeting and as she did she explained to everyone that they were making their attack. Atem wasn't thrilled on this but he listened with the others as she talked about the plan what surprised him was her target wasn't his father like he thought.

"Our target is the man with the Golden eye. He's the one we want to target and get rid of as someone I know from the inside says he's misleading the pharaoh. So let's take him out or at least send him a warning. When we make our final attack we'll take him out." Britt said then had Zoey come up.

"We're sending out our leader's second in command to lead this attack and come back safely. We have guards who will tell you where you'll be during the attack now please go find out and prepare." Zoey said

Britt walked down knowing she'd given orders specific for Atem and her company during this attack. They'd be here with her while everyone would be stationed outside for the attack but her friends would be here too. When Jake received his orders he watched the others seeing that the recruit closest to his Britt received different orders along with two others and Britt's friends..but he noticed her sisters were also apart of the group that was gave different orders.

what orders did he get? Jake thought

He had no choice though as he followed through with his orders but as he left with his group he noticed Britt was on the balcony of the royal training ground with the recruit he knew was Royal. He seen she was talking to him about something but he felt crushed a little but he did as ordered.

Meanwhile in the royal training area Britt walked in with Atem by her side, she did individual training with him which her sisters and friends watched. When one would kick the other would dodge or block it, as Bre and Nana could see they were equal in their fighting skills.

"So is this why she had him stay?" Nana asked

"No, I think she just didn't want him to be alone with the others and Jake. We all know how Jake feels about her." Bre said

As they kept watch Britt went to hit him and he caught her wrist in the air, Bre and Nana watched the two seeing they stopped and were seeming hypnotized. Britt's friends also watched they all knew Britt and this man had been walking close together.

They are going to kiss. Bre thought

As the group watched the two below did kiss, Britt's sisters and friends all smiled and secretly whispered amongst their selves. Britt had almost lost her focus but pulled away as she looked up seeing her friends and sisters talking. She couldn't help herself as she used her gift to get all of them wet. Britt laughed and she covered her mouth. Atem watched her seeing this care free side of her when it was her family and friends. Mana and Mahad had been watching and had also witnessed the kiss.

I can't believe what I saw..My Prince and the Rebel leader. Though she seems to have a gift. Mahad thought

The Pharaoh would be so happy! If only she was a princess and not a rebel. Mana thought

Britt stopped laughing when she saw her brother come in but she rushed upstairs seeing he wasn't alone. She knew it was the only time she'd be able to dress appropriately and her sisters went as well. Atem was curious but then he saw Britt run down in a purple dress that was similar to her regular attire but more like royal. Mana and Mahad were surprised to see this but as they watched Bre and Nana came down in royal attires. The three stopped and bowed to their parents.

"Mother, Father we didn't expect your arrival." Britt said

"You wouldn't My daughter. We had discussed arrangements with your brother." Max said

"You must come with a report. I do not think your visit would be out of coincidence." Britt said

"We do. Your grandfather is aware of your rebellion. He's planning to take force if you do not do as he wishes." Her mother said

I expected this much..the timing makes my situation complicated. Britt thought as she knew Atem was behind her.

"The betrothal." Britt said

"You know, how?" Angela asked

"A little paper" Britt said bringing it for her parents and everyone to see. "Signed by Grandfather and the Pharaoh of Egypt. This paper is merely Grandpa's copy but when disposed of correctly." Britt said then put the paper over her twin's hand where fire came and the paper burned. "Out of sight, out of mind." Britt said

"I tried similar tactics for my own betrothal. When it came time to meet my betrothed I didn't expect to get to know him and come to love him. We only married after we both agreed to it." Britt said

after they agreed...my parents were betrothed.. Britt thought

Britt couldn't stop herself as the next words slipped out "My Betrothed is here." Britt said

Her parents were shocked but Britt looked back looking at Atem, Atem walked over standing by her as he was surprised she'd told them.

"You are the son of the Pharaoh." Angela said

"I am." Atem said

"You joined the rebellion." Max Asked

"Please, I can figure out a spy easily. Though nothings been sent back we figured out who's the real target of our rebellion. So no one has been told but I am not targeting the Pharaoh. I am targeting the man with the golden eye." Britt said

they are targeting Aknadin. Mahad thought but things made sense.

Since Britt's parents didn't want to use all this time for just talking about the betrothal they all moved to another part of the training grounds. Everyone who was still there was present as no secrets were going to be kept and Britt wasn't about to keep Atem's friends in the dark about her royal heritage. Things seemed to of gone well Britt's parents didn't comment but noticed Atem and Britt had seemed to get along well. When it was time for her parents to leave Britt gave both of them a hug. Then quickly left to change and her sisters followed suit of it. Leaving Atem and his friends alone with her parents and brother.

"Watch over our daughter, make sure she doesn't get hurt.." Max asked

"Yes, I'll do my best to keep your daughter safe. She's more than meets the eye and her ways are different." Atem said

"That is my little Britt, she's rough around the edges but she'll always find her ways to get into peoples hearts. I knew she'd be a great leader." Angela said

Atem knew her mother spoke highly of Britt for she was a good leader,but Angela was right about her words. Britt had gotten into Atem's heart and it wasn't something he could ignore but he couldn't say anything with her parents here. The way she'd acted was different with burning the paper that she'd showed him.

After her parents left he went up and talked with Britt, she was looking out her window seeming lost in thought. As he walked up and seen what she was seeing that her troops were returning. They assumed It was a good first attack for Britt didn't see many people missing but she said a silent prayer to the Gods for any who had fallen. Britt thought didn't want to admit it but she'd felt closer to Atem with her parents there.

I hate being a leader but we must do what is right. Britt thought

I'm back, I hope nothing has changed in the short time we've been gone. Jake thought
