A/N OK, This is the third chapter, and I plan to update my other stories soon! I hope y'all like it!

Chapter four

I ran around the corner, and I saw Merlin curled in the corner.

"MAGIC!" I shrieked. I made a move for her, but Bryce held me back.

"NO! She's dangerous! I'm not going to let you get hurt." He said.

"You have to let me go!" I continued struggling, but I couldn't get away, "Magic, this isn't like you, please, snap out of it!" I yelled at her, but she wouldn't listen. As I screamed, Bryce carried me away. As I looked over his shoulder, I saw Merlin shoot sparks out onto Magic.

"NO!" I screamed, but it didn't make a difference. It was too late.

Bryce handed me to Aiden, and went back for magic. Aiden took me to my room and laid me on the bed. About five minutes later, Bryce came in carrying Magic over his shoulder.

"What has he done?" I yelped, "What has Merlin done?"

"Calm down. She was just knocked unconscious. She should be fine." I breathed a sigh of relief, "What do you think caused it?" He finished.

"She only reacts if someone puts her or me in danger. Maybe Merlin is dangerous." I contemplated.


After Magic had woken up, Bryce had allowed us to go outside. I didn't object, considering that he had saved her. I even let him come along without arguing. We ran outside, until the royal messenger called me inside.

"Princess Krya Rose, The King Wishes to see you."

"Thank you. We will be in shortly." I replied. After he left, I said, "Race to the door."
"You're on." He said with a grin, "One, Two, Three!" We both took off. Running with all our hearts. Magic got instep with me and we raced on. As we neared the drawbridge, we realized that it wasn't up. I didn't realize fast enough. I fell into the mote.

The first thing Bryce did was start rolling on the ground laughing. Then he said, "Do you need some help?"

"Ya think? Give me your hand." I retorted. He handed me his hand and I did the obvious thing. I pulled him in with me. Only, he was stronger and didn't budge!

"You are just too weak!" He taunted.

"If I'm so weak, then I wouldn't be able to do this!" With that, I pulled myself up by his hand. I then knocked him down with my legs. Only inches from falling in. Then, I pushed him the rest of the way.

"And you say I'm weak?" I retorted.

"OK, you got me. How did you learn that?" He asked.

"Practice I guess." I shrugged off the compliment. "Now, lets go inside." Bryce pulled himself up, and then noticed that magic was sort of doing a cat smile. He grinned and we walked in soaked together.

When we got to the throne room, my hair was still dripping wet.

"Kyra, I need to speak with you." King Arthur said.

"Yes father?" I asked with all the grace I could.

"Do you think the Bryce has been doing a good job of protecting you?"

I was stunned, but replied, "Why yes. He even dove into the mote after me." King Arthur looked at us, then realized that we were both soaking wet.

"I see," I waited for him to continue, "Well, your mother and I have decided to let Aiden guard Abigail and you can just have Bryce." He concluded.

"Really?" I squealed. I was starting to sound like one of those preppy girls! "Only one?" My eyebrows raised.

"Yes, but if you continue to get into trouble, then I might have to reconsider."

"Me? Trouble?" I asked innocently.

"Yes, you. Now go get dried off." He dismissed us and we left.


After getting dried off, I decided to go for a ride. I rode starlight, and Bryce rode a bay gelding named Chocolate. Weird name for a boy horse. We were playing follow the leader, and I went first. I galloped ahead, but Bryce caught up. I turned sharp corners and Starlight even started rearing. I nearly fell off!

When it was Bryce's turn to lead, he led us into the woods.

"Where are we going?" I asked with interest.

"You'll see." He replied, with no hint of where. After about ten minutes of walking, we got to a secluded area. Bryce looked back at me, and I froze looking past him. He turned, and we both saw it. Aiden and Abbie were there. On a picnic!

"AIDEN! You said you would only tell your true love where this place was! I thought we were friends!" Bryce yelled.

"Same to you!" Aiden retorted. Talk about personality flaws.

"What if she is my true love?" Bryce asked, while Abbie and me just sat there looking confused.

"WAIT? Who said we were anyone's true love?" I asked.

"You ruined this all!" Bryce yelled at Aiden. Then he got back on Chocolate and told me to turn around. We walked in silence the rest of the way.

When we finally got back to the castle, as we were untacking, I asked, "What was all that about?"

"Well, we found that place along time ago. We promised each other to show no one with the exception of our true love." It took me awhile to comprehend what he was saying.

"SO you mean Aiden thinks Abbie is his true love?" I shrieked. Bryce slapped his head in frustration. Then I realized why. I gasped. "You think I'm your true love? But you don't even know me!"
"I've known you for a month now, and…"He trailed off. I didn't push him into anything. After all, I was only thirteen.

The rest of the day went by in a blur.

OK, this is another short chapter, but the next one should be longer! I mean, it's like, 4:00 in the morning and I need some sleep! Any ways please review!
