"Ella!"Her mother's voice yelled out. She looked in the direction that it had come from. "Ella?" Jason asked. Ella ran to him and sat next to him. "Are you alright?"She asked him. "Yeah." He said. "Ella!" Her mother screamed. She looked up and saw her mom and dad running towards her. Jason sat up and Ella pulled his arm around her and she helped him stand. He smiled and Ella looked at their feet. She saw that his calf was bleeding. "Ella, oh, we thought you were dead."Amaris said. Jason looked at Jericho curiously. "My Queen."Jason said and tried to bow but Ella held him upright. when his gaze fell on Lunar. "Hello young man. Ella we announced that you were dead, how?"Lunar said. "If I didn't know how to swim I might have died."Ella said. Jason whimpered and was very pale. "We need to help him."Ella said. "Young man what is your name?"Lunar asked. "His name is Jason. He was very brave when that man attacked me."Ella said, kissing Jason's cheek.


Jason laid down on the couch in Rosa's while Ella talked with her mother. "Mom no one can know I'm still alive. Please talk Lunar out of it."Ella said. "Darling she is queen there is no way to change her mind. She's as stubborn as her mother."Amaris said. "UGH!"Ella screamed and stomped over to Jason. She sat down next to him and smiled. Rosa came into the room, cleaned Jason's calf, bandaged it, and told him to get his feet off of her couch. He sat up and swung his legs around, Ella took his hand and smiled. "Ella, you need to act like a proper princess no intimate relationships with peasants!"Lunar chastised. Ella let go of his hand and glided outside the house. "Lunar don't be so strict. You may be the queen but you aren't her mother."Aramis said going into a different room.


Ella walked out of the house and down the nature trail in the woods. Her eyes were tearing up and she started to choke on breaths. She heard someone shouting and walked the different direction. It soon sounded like someone was following her. She started running further into the woods. She looked behind her and saw three people running after her.
