Chapter 9

—

Elena was confused an creeped out over the things Amir was asking for, dust bunnies thought was just dust on the ground. But not live dust bunnies that ran every time they saw her an made scared squick, when she caught them an into a book. Amir just takes them away but says "I'm not going to kill them just the dust they make is really great to use." After that he send her to find a hair of a really old man, she had to find the old man that she meet before.

As she walks down the hall less in pain after the potion was helping her, an not wanting to thanking the prince. She ways now down a hall looking at some paintings of many figures of people, reading plates on the frames telling who they were. Found one that was some guy that met the king of the giants, his name was king who ever. The stairs were long twisting an turning around the palace, she all most got lost till she started to place small crystal balls that she found in a room, she been putting them as a way to show that place been looked at or can't go in. By doing this it cause her to be confused a bit an almost forgotten were she placed them.

After what seems like hours an still haven't found the old butler, she walks into a room that was filled with never ending of bookshelves, taking in the view wonder who has this many books. She stops in her track when seeing Alexzander on the second floor, he was sitting down at a table his hands in covering his face. He looked frustrated an tired like he didn't sleep in 3 days, Elena hurries to find a hiding spot. She watched as he gets up an sways down the steps to the first floor, his gray dress shoes tap on each step. He gripped on the railing trying to not fall, as he lands the last step he slip backwards.

Everything went black he felt a small tug on his black long sleeve shirt, as he lands to the floor. He felt a soft felling his head was placed at, slipping into slumber not caring who caught him. A few hours went by as the room started to go dark, he felt a small pain at his right cheek. He blinks his blurred eyes open as he watched the dark figure turn into a person. As he try's to make out who caught him he felt a sharp migraine, placing a hand at his forehead to ease the pain.

His hand covered his eye sighing as he pecks to see who caught him, was none other then the princess of Avalor. Groaning of realization of who caught him he sat up, it seems she placed his head on her lap. He turns to look at her as she had the smug look on her face, "so who do you think is irresponsible now?" Alexzander turns to face her with irritation, not wanting to hear how right she was. Anyways what time was it looking out the window it looks pass 9:00pm, he leans to get up.

He sways a bit till he was fully up at his height, he turns to face her. The pale moon light creeps through the window, as it hits Elena showing her body an her face of anger in full view. He looks down on her forgetting how small she was to his height, he sighs an extended his hand for her to grab. Elena looks at him then smacks it away, getting up for herself. Facing him she only came up to his chest, having her to lean her head back to look him in the face.

"Did you get some sleep" Elena asked him this wasn't what he was expecting, he looks at her with a confused face. "Huh?" he looks with tired an squint eyes, he was still sleepy but he just wanted to know he heard her right. Elena knows he heard her "sleep, it doesn't look like you got any," she crossed her arms and turns away he looks down at her. Taking a set at the steps he fell at, he breathes to calm himself for a bit. Looking at Elena as he stands there feeling awkward, not knowing what to say to him.

"Did you eat anything today, if so I can get someone to get something for you," Alexzander says with a simple tone that was straight forward. Elena looking at him like he was crazy, "why you ask?, you been nothing but giving me mean comebacks lately." He leans back an placed his elbows on the steps, "even if I do so doesn't mean that I'm heartless an just let you starve, but if you want me to I can arrange that." Taken aback Elena shots him a glare, "you seriously going to say that after I helped you from not falling, an not to crack your head open on the floor." He just grins at her comment "that's why I offered you something for helping me, but it seems you don't want it."

Elena scoffs at his remark at her "like I want some food from a jerk like you, please I'm capable of doing it on my own." Facing the other way "even though I've been nice to you, you treat me like I'm some kind of child." The blizzard was still going as she watches the snow swirls around in the night sky. Elena just watched not really caring what he would say next, like it would make a difference if he would only hold his temper, none of this would have happened. "You really don't know how to rule at all do you, like at all Elena," Alexzander asked Elena not caring if she gives an answer.

Looking back with a glare "I have know the sum of ruling, but but being self centered is not one of it." Raising a eyebrow at her like she was joking or something, "you kidding right, you think I don't hear about you running around doing things on your own." Elena rolls her eyes at him "I do it to protect my people, an that's my job as a ruler is to make sure they have everything they need." Alexzander rolls his eyes at her this cause Elena just her chin in the air, an walks out the room taking the last word with her. Alexzander just watched her walk away from him as he smiles "maybe having her here not to bad, I'm very interested on what else she does."

He looks down at we're Elena sat a single white paper was left, walking over an picking the paper up. As he reads on what is written an smiles maybe he should have a little fun, Amir does say he doesn't get to do things as much anymore. Slipping the paper in his pocket an turns to the door an heads out, as he try's to think we're she could have gone. The faint sound of footsteps were close by, turning to the direction to look for Elena. This is going to fun picking on her, how long has it been when he did anything on his own accorded.
