Chapter 10: The Three Of Them

The next few days seem to fly, with Alex their Eliza and Mina spent most of their time with him. Because the two boys who occuopied their minds where currently not in the Palace, in fact they weren't even on the planet. Zan and Rath were on Munlice, in a conference with Khivar. This made Eliza worry even more, remembering her evening with Zan, but she did the best she could to hide, knowing that she hadn't told either of them.

Alex POV (In Eliza's quarters)

"Well well ladies what shall we do today? The sun is out, the towns are busy, yet here we are loafing around inside."- I keep looking over them, my two sisters and just wondering what it is that they have been hiding from me.

They say its nothing. Maybe it is nothing. Maybe its something. Eliza looks frighten, why in the world should she be frightened? Mina seems confused, and the very thought of Mina confused, confuses me even more. Looking at them, neither of them seemed to have heard my question. How odd!

"HELLO?!?"- I holler, making my own voice echo through out Eliza's room, the two of them now laughing at me for swinging my arms violently as I said this.

"What did you say Alex?"- Eliza inquires, trying to stay attentive, and hiding the faint blush of embarrassment from being caught day dreaming.

"Ok both of you are going to tell me now, what the hell is going on? Ever since I got here, there's been something different and I demand to know what!"- The two of them seemed shocked that I had noticed. Ha! How couldn't I have noticed?

"Alex, when did you grow a backbone?"- Ouch! I love my sister but she can be mean sometimes..

"I'll have you know that I have always had a backbone! Thank you very much! But now stop trying to change the subject!"- Sitting here in the silence and tension makes me feel queasy.

What's happened to us? We used to have no secrets, no lies. It used to just be the three of us. But now there's an intruder amongst us, separating us. God.. what are they keeping from me?

"IkissedZan"- Eliza said so quickly that it took me a few moments to understand exactly what she said.

"You did what?!?"- Mina hollers, apparently this isn't just news to me.

Eliza kissed the future king of antar.. her future husband' nemesis.

"WHEN? WHERE? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?"- Mina continues to lecture in a not so calm manner to Eliza.. who just slowly cowers away from her.

"Mina, for godsake let Eliza speak, and breathe, your face is turning red"- I interject on Eliza's behalf, she looks up at me showing me her gratitude.

Eliza kissed the Crowned Prince of Antar... I still don't know what I think of this... or what there is to think of it.

"It just sort of happened at the ball last week, I have been avoiding him since then and he's been avoiding me, so I think it'd just be best to act like it never happened. I mean it was stupid. I'm engaged and he's engaged...and its not to each other. Far from it actually. It was stupid and irresponsible"- Eliza rambles trying to keep up a front, but both Mina and I can tell how hurt she is.

I look at Eliza and she not only seems hurts, she seems scared. Because she's no fool when it comes to understanding that certain actions, such as kissing her fiancés enemy, has consequences. She learned that years ago.

"Eliza, babe, I am proud of you!"- Mina says, trying to life Eliza's spirits

"I mean that is with out a doubt the most spontaneous thing you have ever done. And you know what you shouldn't be ashamed, you should be proud. You, for once did something for you! And not everyone else"- Mina continues, seeing that it was working a little bit

"All I can say is that, if he avoiding you then he's an idiot, a prick, and he's not worth your thought! But I do agree with Mina, I am glad that you are having fun. But this is in no way encouragement for you to continue kissing guys that Mina and I don't know! What type of brother would I be, if I told you to continue that?"- I interject causing both Eliza and Mina to smile.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys. I don't know why I didn't. I mean I tell you guys everything"- Eliza says looking at us, holding a smile of relief.

"Well, as long as that was all that happened you have nothing to be ashamed of"- Mina informs Eliza, letting her know that she's forgiven in her. But something flashed in her eyes that gives me an uneasy feeling that something else happened.
