A/N Hello everyone. Sorry this is so late, I had a hard time making this work, and trying to have this make sense.

I do know that I looked at Breezes past in the last chapter, and it is important to know what happened, for this chapter to make some kind of sense.

I also want to point out that school has started back up for me, and I wanted to get back into the routine. I am also running for Head Girl at the moment, so this might mean that I won't have a lot of free time soon, so be aware of that.

I hope you enjoy this chapter, and I will try to post again next month, though I can not promise anything at the moment.

I hope you are all staying safe, and that life is somewhat alright where ever you are. See you in the next chapter.

I was in my room for the rest of the day, thinking of what my mum had told me, contemplating what I was supposed to do next.

I was not thinking when I smashed the mirror in my wardrobe when I pushed all the makeup off my vanity, I was not thinking, I wasn't even myself.

I had no control over myself, my life was changing too fast, that I had no chance to regroup.

I laid on my bed, staring at the wall, thinking what my mother had wanted of me, and not really understanding what I was told, for the first time in my life.

I was not in the right mindset. I was not myself. I hated who I had become in no time at all. I hadn't wanted to become this, but if it was my destiny, I guess I had no way around it.

Life can stab you right in the back, you can never really know when something is destiny, or if it is just a coincidence.

I got dressed and tried to clean up after myself. I hated that I had done this, I had no reason to do any of this, and yet I did, I shall never know just what that other side wants out of me.

I stayed in my room for another minute or two, before I heard a knock at my door.

I stayed on my bed for a bit, and I heard the voice of someone so familiar. "Sweetheart, can you let me in?"

I didn't know what to do at first, Raskle had seen me at my best and my supposed worst, but this was without a doubt, one of the worst things I have ever done.

I couldn't handle him seeing me like this, I tried to calm myself, to try and see him again. I walked over to my bedroom door, opened it up, to see him with a bouquet of flowers. They were roses, one of my favourite flowers, not because of how expensive they were, but because of their relationship to Raskle and me.

Another reason why I loved roses so much, was because they look so beautiful, but the thorns can prick you at any point. Likely describing myself more than the roses at this point, but they do remind me of myself so much.

I could feel the tears coming back, and I threw my arms around his shoulders. My eyes were closed, and I could feel the tears coming at high speed. I tried to calm myself down again, but only said "Raskle."

I could not understand what I did to have such a wonderful man in my life. He made some bad choices in Nogo's army, but I couldn't care about them, they were not relevant now.

I walked into my room, leaving the door open for Raskle to come in. I sat on my bed and looked at the flowers through blurry eyes.

I looked at to see Raskle sitting on my bed, next to me.

"I'm sorry for everything you have recently been told." That was what Raskle said to me, but it didn't seem like the only thing he was trying to see.

I looked away, and said, "I'm not ready to be queen."

I couldn't say anything else, and he understands what I meant.

I could feel Raskle's arms around me from behind, I looked behind me, to see Raskle, behind me, on his knees, arms wrapped around my neck, onto my chest.

I could feel the emotions coming all at once. I looked behind me, to look into my love's eyes.

I looked down and just said, "I know I am ready, but I would never forgive myself if I became the Queen, while Nogo is still a danger. We now know that he is a bigger threat than we- I, gave him credit for."

I closed my eyes, and when I opened them up again, Raskle had my Glitter Pack in his hand, showing it to me, "But you are getting stronger every day, even when you think you are in your weakest state."

I grabbed hold of my Glitter Pack, put it to the side, grabbed onto Raskle's arm, and gave him a passionate kiss.

I could feel the tears coming. I let the tears come, but as we kissed, I could feel Raskle brush them away.

I knew my love for Raskle would only grow, I love him so much, and there was only room for more love in my heart for him.

I went to the dining room, to see the girls there, likely waiting to see me.

I sat down in the middle and felt the pressure of their eyes all over me. The only analogy I can think of to describe this feeling is similar to a cheap spray-on deodorant, you use more for a decent effect, but it will get all over you.

I looked to everyone, and hesitantly, spoke up. "I will take my mother's throne, but only after we defeat Nogo and his goons." I could feel the eyes all over my body, but continued to speak, "I will not allow Nogo to play his twisted game, he is an evil being who needs to be stopped before we can do anything else."

I looked to everyone to see understanding in their eyes, it was so relieving to see the tension lessen so rapidly.

Emily looked to me as if to mention something and just seemed to be questioning what she wanted to say.

I looked forward, to all the girls, and saw something seemed to be on their mind.

I went to the bookshelf in my room, in the clothes that I wear on earth. I felt the tension come back all at once.

I looked to the girls, as they went back to their homes, and I was left in my room, still in Jubaland. I looked around, taking it all in, not knowing when I would be coming back.

Raskle came up behind me, and I felt his eyes, looking at me with so much concern. "What are you thinking about?" Raskle held my shoulders, so softly.

I hugged Raskle tightly in my arms, and only said, "I do not wish to leave you again," I could feel tears coming back, "I almost lost you to Nogo before, I don't want to lose you."

Raskle held me tighter, and all I could hear was "You never will."

I just held onto Raskle, and I felt him pull back for a second, and he had an idea in mind. "How about I come and stay with you on Earth?"

I was shocked by this proposition, it was sudden, but it could also work. I thought for about a minute, and stood on my toes, to get to his ear, and just said: "I would love that."

I kissed Raskle on the cheek, grabbed his hand, and stepped through the portal to my bedroom on Earth.

It felt kind of surreal, to have Raskle by my side, on Earth.

My fake mother walked into the room at that point. She had a worried look on her face, she came up to hug me just then and said: "Chloe, I was so worried about you, where were you?"

I pulled back, and said softly, "I was just with some of my friends, " I looked to Raskle, to see him giving me a thumbs up, "they had a lot of homework that needed to be done last minute, and I promised that I would help them get all their homework done before the deadline."

My mother looked shaken at this news, but I just said back, "I'm sure I told you in advance, but I didn't know how long it was going to take, so that was my bad."

My mother seemed suspicious, don't blame her honestly, but said: "Oh yeah, sorry, I must have forgotten that completely." She looked really shaken by this but did not push harder.

My mother was about to leave the room, but stopped in the doorway, "Wait!" was what came out of her mouth. I was scared at this and she said: "Who is this man?"

She was shouting a little, that is not like her at all. She never really shouts, at least from what I have seen from her.

I breathed and said "A friend of mine."

I smiled to try and make the semi lie seem more believable, and my mother just said "Okay, hey, " she looked a little surprised and said, "would you like to stay for dinner tonight?"

Raskle looked to me for gratification, I nodded my head and he said: "Sounds wonderful."

And with that, my mother left.

"And breath, " I was really frightened that she was not going to believe me, so to see her believe me so easily, was amazing.

"That was a little scary." Raskle said, feeling the pressure disappear all at once.

I looked at him and said, "Yeah, I was frightened she would know something is wrong."

Raskle looks to me with loving eyes, says "As long as we are together, I will never be scared of anything."

We sat on the floor to eat our dinner, I did talk to Raskle about table manners in Japan. Raskle was a little confused by everything, but he did catch on fairly rapidly.

As we ate our dinner, I could feel the friction from my father. I know he is not my real dad, but I do know when he is not happy, and he must not be happy seeing Raskle here.

After we ate, I decided to answer a portion of the truth, not all, for obvious reasons.

I breathed for a second, and said, "Mother, Father, " I could see the confusion on their faces, even my brother maintained a complexed look on his face. "I wanted to see if you liked Raskle because we are dating."

I could see the confused looks morph into that of utter bewilderment.

I decided to try something else and decided to see how far I can spin this web of lies, "Also, his parents disowned him for no reason, and he has nowhere to go."

My parents had a look of sadness on their faces, while my Grandpa looked like he understood the situation, as I was saying it, and not the actual truth.

Grandpa looked at Raskle and said, "I would say that it would be best to provide this boy with refuge for the time being."

I felt such relief. Grandpa knew that Raskle needed help, and knowing that he would be willing to help, was an amazing feeling.

I looked to Grandpa and bowed as I said:" Thank you so much for you agreeing to this Grandpa, it means so much to me and Raskle."

Thankfully my pretend parents agreed to let Raskle stay with us for a while, and they are letting him sleep in my room with me.

"Are you doing okay?" I asked Raskle as he sat on his bed next to me.

Raskle looked to me, and I could see a tear in his eye.

He just looked at me, and just asked back, "Do you remember my father?"

I crawled to him, gave him a hug, and said "Lord Gildstein?" I hugged him tighter, "I remember him all too well."

I knew Raskle would know my answer, he is one memory that have haunted me for years.

I pulled back for a second, but Raskle pulled me back into his chest.

I was so confused, but I heard him say, "It's him."

I pulled back, to see Raskle crying more and more.

I pulled him into me, and held him close as I said, "What do you mean, 'It's him'?"

Raskle pulled back from me, and said "My father is Nogo."

I stopped restful in my tracks for a second, I could barely breathe, even a little bit.

I looked up to Raskle become emotionless for a split second. I know, I will always remember the look in my fiancee's eyes, they were almost sinister but went back to him balling his eyes out.

I held onto Raskle tighter and just said, "We can't enable someone to be good if they are power-driven." I looked at him, "But, we can change their way of thinking."

Raskle looked at me, pulled back, and just said, "The problem is that my father is power-hungry, and we can not change that about him."

I touched my cheek that Lord Gildstien hit, there was no pain, but the memory made me feel pain there.

I got closer to Raskle and said "Hey, the girls are going to going to the beach tomorrow, and they invited the two of us along." I looked at Raskle as I held his hand close to my heart, "Would you like to go with me?"

Raskle looked happy, and held me in his arms, and just said "I would not have it any other way."

Raskle seemed to be in a much better mood overall. I felt relief wash over me, it felt so nice.

I held Raskle in a passionate hug and just felt the need to say, "Remember that I will always be here for you, for now, and forever."

I opened my eyes, to see my fake parents looking into my room. They were likely making sure we weren't doing anything inappropriate, as I am technically a middle schooler here, they are protective.

I got up, to see Raskle still asleep, with his arm wrapped around me. This is the first time we have slept in the same room together, so yeah, it was odd to wake up in his arms.

I feel as though I need to clarify, I have not told Chloe's parents that Raskle is older than I am, they think he is the same age as me. So yeah, he is likely going to attend school with me.

In Jubaland, it is fairly common for a man in an arranged marriage to be older than the woman, it is not unseen overall, and that was not too unseen here either.

I decided to sleep in a little, but my brother woke me and Raskle up, as per the usual routine.

I know Raskle is not really used to waking up at the crack of dawn, so it took him a while to get up.

I noticed that Raskle was not at all shy about having his arms wrapped around me. I turned to him, and he was just barely up.

I tried to get up, to have him pull me back into his soft embrace. I could spend hours in his arms, but I had to break this sweet silence.

I looked to my beloved, and just acknowledged "Remember that we are meeting with the girls today at the beach."

Raskle peared at me, and said "I remember, but thanks for reminding me." I know that Raskle is intelligent, but sometimes I do need to remind him of the little things, and thankfully he doesn't mind.

I got out of my bed and got a swimsuit on underneath a short flowy dress, perfect for the hot weather.

As Raskle was getting ready, he looked at me and started to question a lot of what I was doing right from the get-go.

He looked at me and inquired "Aren't you going to be cold wearing such a short dress?"

I looked at Raskle and just explained "It gets hot very easily, trust me, I don't want to overheat." I walked over to Raskle, put my arms around his neck, and continued "Life is very different here than in Jubaland, but you will get used to it soon."

I placed a gentle kiss on Raskle's lips, and he placed his arms around my waist. "I know that if you can do it, I can too." and he kissed me back.

Raskle and I ate, and left to walk to the beach, which was so nice.

I felt a little odd walking to the beach, this is still something that I am not used to yet.

When we got to the beach, I almost immediately saw the girls, sitting on the ground, sunbathing. I walked up behind them, and said:"Hey guys."

I looked at the girls and Emily, in a happy voice, replied "Hey Breeze!"

Raskle looked at me oddly, and asked "Why did you call them guys?"

I looked to Raskle and just said "It's often used as a way to refer to a party of both bots and girls, or in this case, one gender. Usually girls."

Raskle looked around and just said "Oh."

The girls got up, and saw that Raskle was with me. Lilly walked up to Raskle bowed and proclaimed, "Hello Lord Raskle."

I looked oddly at Raskle, and he just replied: "Hello girls, and please, just call me Raskle."

I let out a breath, feeling the relief wash over me. I could see honour in Raskle's eyes, it was such a wonderful sight.

I walked to a changing room close by and took my sundress off.

When I left the changing room, I could see Raskle's eyes full of dear love. I walked over to him and kissed him on the cheek before he pulled me into a passionate kiss on the lips.

I rested in the sun, with Raskle beside me. I could tell he was confused by everything around us. Jubaland was simple, there wasn't a lot of technical advances, we relied on magic for the most part.

I looked at Raskle and held his hand. He looked at me and I said "You are doing good my love."

Raskle looked down, and just replied "Doesn't feel like I am."

I could see the conflict in his eyes, but I got a call on my phone. I got my phone out, and saw it was from my mum. I answered it and said "Hello mum?"

I looked to see Raskle with horror in his eyes. I talked to mum for a few minutes, and after I ended the call, I looked to Raskle again and said "Mum if fine, she's at home, she is fine."

After a while, Raskle relaxed significantly, and the girls went to get some food.

I looked up at Raskle. I could still feel that he was tense, but not as tense as he was when we got to the beach.

I held onto his hand, and once he looked at me, I said "You are doing an incredible job getting used to everything."

Raskle looked into my eyes, and just whispered, "It feels like I am."

I pulled myself into Raskle's arms, and replied: "I can tell."

I put my head onto his chest and felt his heartbeat relax so much.

I could tell he wanted time for the two of us, and I did not complain. The silence was not uncomfortable in the slightest, it was sweet.

I felt hands wrap around my back, they were slender, furry and hand long fingernails. I jumped up, to see Ulric.

Ulric looked as though he was in speedos, they made me want to vomit.

I held up my glitter pack. I know that at this point it is routine for me to have my glitter pack, and some people may see it was over cautiousness, but at this point, I would expect any people like that to not complain.

I placed my glitter charm in the glitter pack and felt anger fill myself in seconds. I hate feeling as though I am vulnerable, and Ulric took full advantage of it.

I looked at Ulric, and not too far behind, the girls and Raskle were fighting a Buffoon Brute sent out. I felt a lot of guilt, but that was replaced but the anger.

I looked at Ulric, and without saying a single word, the battle had begun. Everyone was focused on the girls, so we could be as violent as we wanted.

I kicked Ulric in his head, and he hit me in my side. I felt so much pain.

I continued to fight, and soon we were done, and the girls and Raskle had defeated the Buffoon. But before the could begin celebrating, they saw me and Ulric.

I found myself struggling to breathe. I was exhausted because I was trying to stop my other side from coming out.

I decided to not worry but her, as far as I was concerned, she would not come out. I looked at Ulric, brought out my ice sword once again, and moved slowly to him, but I also teleported around him, and got him on the floor.

Before I could do anything, he was gone.

I looked to everyone, and asked Raskle to call it a day, and walked home with me. This gave me enough time to be-transform and relax for a few seconds. But, I was questioning something in my mind.

Did Ulric like me, he often went for me, and he would perform oddly seductive actions with me around. This also made me question why he went to Nogo, was it because he had feelings for me?

I decided to keep those thoughts to myself and see if they were true, in some kind of way.
