Chapter 7

—

The vase was laying in ruins the clay an red painted pictures, turning around as she face the broken vase. Alexzander was in shock his face shows it, "do you know what you have done." Not wanting to say anything knowing as she was trying to figure out what say what to do next, Alexzander grips his hands turning his knuckles white, walking up to her grabbing on her upper arm. Lifting up a bit only her legs still station at the ground, Elena looks away form Alexzander's glare that was boring into her head.

Yanking her up from the ground "that vase", pointing to it "was over a 1,000 years old give by our founding king." With his anger boiling inside "an you smashed it in one day!", Elena trying to get out of his death grip. Dragging her down the hallway into a room far from anyone, opening an locked the door behind them. Finally getting out of his grip she steps back away from the prince, pulling her arms to her chest protecting herself from him. She watched as he walked closer to her stepping away out of fear, as he was face to face with her.

"Better have a really good excuse, cause I just ready to throw you out in at blizzard," he towers over Elena having a royal aura of power, "I've let you stay here, I let you wear the clothes we have, and you can't even wait a day for me make sure everything is settled down!" She glares back at "who's mind was to put a vase there anyways, on a table for anyone to grab!" Knowing fully we'll we're this is going Alexzander shoots back "nobody went down that hallway cause it was restricted area, not even the maids could go through." Determination Elena didn't back down "so Simrah not considered a maid then?," one eyebrow raise at Alexzander crosses her arms towards him. Not telling if this would anger him but a laugh was shot her way, "no she's the care taker of the palace, anything broken, missing, or even taken from the palace it's her job to fix it."

Well that's not the kind of answer she was expecting "is there something I can do to help fix the vase or...", waving it away like it was nothing he just sat in a chair "no I'll just get Amir's magic to fix it." He rubs the stress out off his face it was going to be a long day, an sighs heavily "so what is it you want to know." Sitting on the bed "well truthfully why did you take back your ships?", looking dead at her "we had a really bad harvest so we had to pull back, we we're hoping that if the papers were signed we would get some food form Avalor." Elena watched Alexzander speak out his frustration about the ordeal, "after hearing that you don't have much food left for your people, what other options do I have." Even so why would he just up an leaves if it was a big deal for him, looking at Alexzander "why leave if you had a big problem then?"

Alexzander stands form his chair an heads to the door unlocking it, "do you think your the only kingdom that spoke of the rumors." In regards to the conversation he just wanted to get out of the room, an finish his work that was still laying on his desk. Stepping back for Elena to get out "just so you know try no brake anything an if you're bored, ask Amir for something to do he has many things for you to do." With this Elena walks out as Alexzander shuts the door behind her, an walks the other way as servants try talking to him. But they were mostly waved away as he walks back to what he was doing.

On the one hand at least Elena doesn't have to see him for a bit she needed to see Gabe, so she starts to head that way. Walking pass the broken vase as a maid an butler were cleaning the mess up into metal can. Hurrying away from the mess an to find Gabe, she finally got to his room. She opened the door with out knocking she saw Gabe standing on his bed as a long black curly hair woman dress in a gardening outfit was clapping for Gabe. He jumped from the bed "hey Elena did you finally talked to the prince?", Skyler an Minks weren't their probably went with Isabel to her room.

For this knowing she had to leave the woman says her condolence, Gabe steps in front of her "oh hold I wanted you to meet Elena." He faces Elena an smile holding up his hand an showing that its been rapped in bandages, "this is Juliette the gardener of the palace." Elena looks at at Gabe not knowing what he means by that, Juliette smiles " I'm the one that grows food for the palace members that's staying here." A hand of Juliette"s sat on Gabe's shoulder "an this guy was trying to find you, but found his way into my gardens an got bit by one of my plants."

For knowing this Elena looks at Gabe "you got bit,by a plant." Looking away from embarrassment "yeah I didn't know that it was alive like moving around type." Taking the hint Juliette left them be walking to the door then facing Gabe, "if you want to meet the rest of the plants try not lifting them up some are quite poisonous." In regard to that statement Elena looks at Gabe "how was that even possible you not knowing it was alive?" Gabe sat back on the bed "I thought you head that way," pointing to the direction "an I got lost an meet Juliette that save me from a man eating plant, an it's back was turn by the way."

Putting her hand up "wait they got a man eating plant?" Gabe nods to her "Juliette says their silva makes great tea." surprisingly Elena never thought that was the possibility of keeping the plant, taking a set at the chair Juliette sat at "so what were you two doing when the moment I got her?" A nervous laugh escapes Gabe's mouth "passing the time we did a game of rein acting, of people we know." Elena smiles glad that Gabe found a new friend here, even if he try's to act cool at least some ones cheering him on.

After a few hours of talking with Gabe she went to go see Isabel, opening the door of her sisters bed room. An smiling at the scene of the jackwens sleeping on the bed with Isabel, as she had books laying all around her bed. Closing the door an to her room she went closing the door behind her, looking out the window the snowstorm still raging on. Can she with stand staying here, maybe she should meet Amir to what he has in-store for her. Walking to the closet a few clothes were hanging up, taking a white long sleep gown an a matching open shaw.

The old clothes lay on the floor as she puts on the new ones on, an picked up the off the floor on into the chair. Elena sat at the windowsill as she watched small lights still flicker in the town. Leaning back her head hits the wall why was the prince so frustrating, now she knows what he did but why Avalor though. Her kingdom did have good selling ports but not the best, an even if she did say yes how long will it take the food back here. His idea of his plan made no sense getting off the windowsill an into her bed, and placing the covers over her.

She waited to sleep take over, as she could hear the wind roaring loudly outside. Trying to muffle the sound out she cover her head with a pillow, you could still hear it but faintly now. Sighing in relief as she hunker down more for warmth. Felling the sleepy spell now coming at her as the breath of hers became rhythm-tic, as she finally be able to sleep.
