Hallo!!! Merry Christmas. How exciting!! I don't really enjoy Christmas because I have to spend time with other family members, my sister-in-law to be and her family, I hate the cleaning and I miss my dear friends. For all of you who think Santa clause is real, I'm really sorry but he wasn't and never will be. I'm sorry kids but it is a figment of your imagination encouraged by the media and sad people in the mall.
Ok so about this chapter. Um…. There is another song in this chappie called Miles Away by Jah Cure. The artist is popular in the Caribbean and he sings great songs. This song to me is by far the best I have ever heard from him. This song is kinda short but beggars can't be choosers.
Please go on you tube and listen to it. Just type in miles away by jah cure. So here goes I'm not so sure what to put in it but I'm just guessing and hopefully it will flow with the rest of the story.
Chapter 9: it would never work out.
'Oh my Jesus! He's kissing me! What to do?' I thought.
I can't do this to him. He would be left shattered. He pressed harder on my lips.
Crap!
He licked my bottom lip begging for entry.
I had no control over my body. He placed his hands on my waist and pulled me closer to him. I was adjusting to his embrace so I put my arms around his neck.
He bit my bottom lip practically pleading to enter. I finally opened my mouth.
He entered my moist cavern. We were fighting each other for control.
'Oh shit! No, no, no, no! I have to stop this I don't want to be responsible for any thing' I thought. I can't let this happen.
I stopped the kiss or make out session I should say.
"What the hell Cornelia! What is wrong with you?" Caleb shouted.
"Did you mean anything you told Elyon? Because I think I misinterpreted wrongly"
"I…I have to go" I said and got up.
I was about to walk away when he grabbed my hand.
"Cornelia stay with me" he pleaded
"No Caleb I can't" I said tears forming in my eyes.
"What! Why?" he asked tightening his grip.
"I just can't" I said and tried to pull away.
"Cornelia why?" he asked pulling me closer to him.
I hugged him and pushed my head in his chest. I cried for a few moments wondering how I was going to tell him.
"Caleb" I started. "I can't do this"
"Why can't you Cornelia?!" I could fell the anger in his words.
"Because…. I'll break your heart" I said almost in a whisper
"What are you talking about Cornelia?" he was staring at me. I could see the hurt in his eyes and felt guilty.
"I'm not staying Caleb. I have to go back home"
I said finally.
"What?" he said with total and complete hurt in his voice?
"Well not home in Pyramus but somewhere else where no one would find me" I said
Only for you, for you,
Ohhh,
Now that I love you,
No one above you
More
than a million miles away
More than a million words to say
Ohhhh
now and
forever and ever,
Will be just you and me
longing to hold you
Hold you
Hold you
Near my heart
from
when
From when
From when
Everytime you miss again
"So just like that" he said anger rising again
"Caleb you don't understand I don't want to do this because I would break your heart" I said.
Finally he let me go.
More than a million
miles away
More than a million words to say
Ohhh
Now and forever
and ever,
Will be just you and me
"I don't know if you are aware but you already broke my heart two years ago" he said and walked out the room.
Caleb's POV
How could she do that? I love her, the only woman I let enter my heart and she crushes me. I still love her anyway. Like mother always said if you truly love someone you have to let them go.
Girl I'll never let you go
I just wanted you to
know
how much I love you so
it takes time for love to grow
Ahh
Will be just you
and me
More than a million
miles away
More than a million words to say
Ohhh
Now and forever
and ever,
Will be just you and me
I entered my room and lay on my bed.
How could she do that? I could feel tears forming in my eyes.
Hold me
squeeze me
feel me
oh
Cause I never
wanna be lonely
Lonely for you,
girl you know how much
I love you I love you
I love you
Yeaaaaaaa
More than a million
miles away
More than a million words to say
ohhhh
Now and
forever and ever,
will be just you and me
No I will not cry because of her. I heard a knock on my door. I saw my mother pepping her head through.
"Oh Caleb darling" she said. She rushed over to my side.
"Are you okay?"
Ohhhh
Longing to hold you
Hold you
Hold you near my
heart
from when
From when
From when
Everytime u miss again
More than a million
miles away
More than a million words to say
Ohhhh
Now and
forever and ever,
Will be just you and me
"No!" I said. She could see the tears in my eyes and that was her question.
"Honey. Everyone could see that you like her" my mother said.
"I don't like her!" I snapped.
"I love her" I saw my mothers face turn soft and a small smile was formed on her lips
"I see" she said. "So why are you here? You should be with her" she said.
"I can't" I said and looked away.
"Why not?" she asked and lied next to me on my bed.
"Because…… because she's leaving" I finally said. Saying that really hurt my heart.
"Oh honey. Are you okay?" she asked.
"Not really" I said. I still didn't understand why she was leaving. She said she meant every word she said earlier so why is she leaving now.
"You know women are hard to understand" I said and watched my mother. She smiled and strokes my head in a playful manner.
"No we are not. If you look under everything we do and say you'll see we are very simple" she said and then continued. "But, the ones that are very hard to understand are those who have problems showing what they feel because they were always missing something".
She had a point. But I was confused when she said they were always missing something.
"What do you mean by they were always missing something?"
"Well, I was good friends with the queen of meridian for years. When I used to go to meridian to have tea with the queen I always saw Elyon with her friends and this little girl following in tow" she said. Where was she going with this? "Elyon and her friends were teasing this little girl because she was short and a few years younger than them. The little girl would always go to her mother and complain but she always scolded her. She was a sensitive child. She always turned to a source for her own comfort. Cornelia had sources actually. Ballet and art. She danced with poise and grace and drew like a twelve year old even though she was quite young"
"And?" I asked she was not really helping.
"Well if you let me finish I'll tell you" she scolded. No need to get feisty on me. "I wanted to help her by joining her to a dance school but she always denied and never had time to think about it. It was time for Elyon to practice the duties of a princess and she needed her personal servant. She chose Cornelia and started treating her badly. Bossing her around a lot for her own pleasure. Sometimes I wondered if Cornelia held any emotions because she always had a blank expression on her face. I guess that made her tough. But the situation with her father was always pressed, that was her weakness"
"Mom I don't think you're helping" I said. She smiled.
"Caleb she won't let you in her heart because she does not know what love is" she finally said.
"Well that's all you had to say" I said. Sheesh!! She knew how to make a conversation.
"Caleb, you have to show her what love really is before she leaves" she said.
"What?! Why" I said with surprise.
"Caleb don't act as though you don't want to speak to her" she pressed. My mother knew me well. "Go to her and apologize."
"Mother!!" I shouted.
"Just go to her and apologize damn it!!!!!!! I want grandchildren!!" she shouted back. Okay then.
"Sheesh. You don't have to get all aggressive on me" I said and walked out on my room to apologize to Cornelia.
Normal POV
Cornelia sat in a chair close by and collected her thoughts.
Cornelia POV
I sat in a nearby chair and thought about the unlikely events in my life.
I had a half sister who hated me and I don't know why I cannot hate her back
The council would surely send there minions to get me and I would have to stand trail
I have a deep ass crush on a prince. The prince of Illyria to be correct which is the most powerful kingdom there is. Pathetic
Cedric is still out there
Wow my life sucks. Anyways I could deal with my life another time. But the question was, how do I get out this castle? There is tight security and it's almost impossible for a rat to enter with out being seen. Hmm that seemed tricky
"Eureka!!" I shouted. I could dress as a commoner and exit through the kitchen. Commoners always come to the castle to get scraps of food to feed themselves and their families. I had to get something to disguise myself as one of them, take the food and go on with my life.
I ran out the room and headed straight for the kitchen. I saw a man out of the line and pulled him in a corner.
"Sir, I need your help!!" I whispered.
"Aww surely milady" he nodded and listen attentively.
"I need your clothing" I said. His eyes widened.
"My clothing milady" he said.
"Yea so could I have them?" I asked eagerly hoping I could get a positive answer.
"I am sorry milady but I cannot I only have these one pair of clothing" he said.
"What if I give you new clothing in exchange for those" I asked. I watched him straight in the eye hoping for a sign.
"Okay!" he said smiling.
"I'll be back" I said and ran quickly to Caleb's' room.
I knocked and waited patiently. No answer. I let myself in and walked towards his closet.
I looked for something simple.
I found a cream shirt and black trousers at the back of the closet. And a pair of shoes. I hope the shoes could fit.
I hurried out of the room. I heard two women talking in the opposite room. I peaked to see who it was. It was two maids cleaning the room.
"I can't believe she said those things in front her face. I have to say, she has some guts" I heard one say with a thick English accent.
"I know. Princess Elyon was put in her place" the other one said in an even stronger English accent.
"Mary I have a good bit of news for you" said the first.
"Really Magdalena ? What is it?" the on addressed as Mary said with enthusiasm.
"Well, Evangeline said that she saw them in the library snogging" Magdalena said.
'Father up above. These servants knew everything. I didn't recognize anyone in the library but us' I thought.
"Snogging? I thought they were just mates" Mary said.
"Mates eh, well then Cornelia stopped the snogging session. He was like what the hell Cornelia and she was like oh I can't and he was like why not. And then she started to cry and when she finished she was like I have to go. And he was like where and she was like home but not with her grandmother but she had to find somewhere else to live and he was like oh just like that and she was all oh Caleb you don't understand I'll break your heart. And the touching moment was when he said you already did that. That part was deep"
Where do these maids get these things from? Anyways it's not the time to think about those sad women.
I rushed back to the kitchen and found the man standing up where I left him.
"Here you go sir. Now go and change quickly" I pressed and pushed the man away
I remembered what those maids were saying. That was freaky.
He reached back and gave me his old clothes.
After I changed I gave the man my dress and shoes and told him to give his wife. I kept my jewelry because I could pawn them later on. I went in the line to get food. It was not what I expected to happen to me in life but it had to do. When I got my bag of bread and cheese I walked coolly out the castle gates and walked through the forest to find some kind of path.
I found one. I walked and walked not looking back. I left Will, Leon, nana and Caleb.
Oh well at least they can have a better life with out me

Finally!!! It took me a good while to figure this chapter out. I am diagnosed with ADD (attention deficit disorder) I had to fight myself to pay attention and finish the chapter. It was so frickin' hard.
The maids talking in the room I know its stupid but that's how my cousin and I talk gossip.
Snogging means making out in British terms and mate as in friend in British terms as well.
How do I know this? Well I was born and lived in London with some of my family members for five years I still talk like a brit when I say certain things for example when I say 'what is that supposed to mean' its kinda funny now and then.
Oh and candraca-angel-101. Why were you stalking? Would y like to have my stalker? Plz say yes I'll ship him to you. Let's just hope he gets through immigration.
So stay tuned. Hope you liked.
