Chapter 5: Meet Tanya
"Miss?" Shouted the prince of Miko, with Nazia having her eyes shut, wishing he'd go away.
Why did this lanky boy keep conversing to her and not going away? He was healed, why doesn't he just go away! She thought. So many conflicts mixed up her head. But what a looker he seemed. With his soulful eyes to look up to and his ragged appearance and assured attitude, she thought of him as and suddenly drew calmer.
"Hi there," He said poking his head behind from the tree. "I was wondering if you knew how to get out of these parts of the woods?" He said rather funny. Nazia looked up at him and smiled.
"Now that's more like it." he said noticing her smile. Suddenly she forced herself to grab his arm and walked off deeper into the woods. Soon the two were headed well in the woods, with Nazia in the lead she started walking faster and more confident of being around him all so fast. Was this the attraction of seeing a human male for the first time in her life?
"Why are you...? Oh. You're a fairy. I forgot!" He said walking slower and suddenly stopped in his tracks. "Let me introduce myself. The names Tristen." Nazia stopped a few metres in front and turned to see him.
"What's your name?"
Nazia hadn't spoken since Tanya left her house, as Tristen waited for a response she had kept him in suspense, she started to open her mouth and spoke quietly.
"Nazia..."
"Huh? What's that? Nazy?" Nazia shook her head and smiled at his pathetic confusion.
"Nazia." She said a bit louder.
"Ohh! Nazia!! The refined-musician?" he said sarcastically. "Oh, don't worry about that." He said sitting down on a big rock beside him and looked at her.
"So, what are you doing way out here in the woods? Shouldn't you be in the village?"
"Why?"
"Just wanted to know that's all. You seem lonely."
"Huh? No, I'm fine."
"What? Living by yourself? I don't think so!"
"You don't understand."
"Sure I do, Nazia! You're just lonely like me. Lonely as the prince I am. No matter how high in society I am, I'm still lonely." He said deciding to get up and walk closer to Nazia.
"I'll come by tomorrow morning, okay? But right now I better get home before father sends his mob out to come look for me!" Tristen said whistling out for his horse.
"Sir?"
"Hmm??" sounded Tristen, confused by that remark, knowing that no one ever called him 'sir'.
"Please! Don't tell anyone about this place."
"Why?"
"Just promise me you'll never tell anyone! I can't explain it to you, you wouldn't understand." She said holding his hand tightly.
Tristen got up on Isle and smiled at her.
"Don't worry! I'll tell that I got lost like I usual do. Well see you tomorrow, Nazia!" He said in a hurry, galloping off leaving Nazia staring off in the distance as he left. Something was not right inside her. It was emotion she'd never of felt before.
+++++
Later in the day, Tanya had come by to Nazia's for her casual visit, leaving her buckets outside to fill them up by the river. Nazia's smile grew bigger, but not because Tanya had come by. As the two sat down, drinking and eating Nazia stared out the window.
"You got anymore egg rolls, Nazi?"
"Huh? Uh, what?"
"Wake up girl! Egg rolls!!!"
"Oh, sorry Tanya." Nazia said passing a basket of egg rolls and Tanya scoffed them down.
"Yum! You sure you don't want any?"
"Ya huh..."
"huh?" Tanya said looking up in confusion.
"What's wrong Nazi?" Nazia shook her head and looked at Tanya.
"Ever had this empty feeling inside yourself?"
"Sure. It's called hunger!"
"No, not that! It makes you go light headed and... Oh! I don't know how to describe it, but ever since this boy came by I've been feeling this way!"
"Huh? What boy?"
"He was injured last night and you know, I healed him."
"Sounds like you have the case of L-O-V-E!!!"
"I... love? What's that?"
"Just something that makes you go different inside and outside."
"You mean I'll be not a fairy?"
"No, no, no! you'll be the same but love can make you change the way you think of yourself outside."
"Oh."
"So, what's this injured guys name?"
"T... Tris no Tristen!"
"Hmmmm... WHAT!??? Prince Tristen Miko?"
"I don't know."
"Did he have dark eyes and dark hair?"
"Yep!" she said leaning back with her hands behind her back. "He has weapons with him too."
"Oh no!" Tanya started yelling, smacking her head against her hand "Nazia! Don't go near him, please!!!"
"Why?"
"Because his family were the ones who killed your parents!"
"Huh?" Nazia said quite shocked with a wide-eyed expression.
"Miss?" Shouted the prince of Miko, with Nazia having her eyes shut, wishing he'd go away.
