Hey Everyone, in this chapter you're going to see Carla and Gabe interact for a bit. I hope you enjoy this one.
Work In Progress
BTW: Check out My New Elena/Varian Crossover: Elena and Varian save Avalor
Elena was just finishing up on her royal duties when she ran into Gabe.
"Hey Gabe." said Elena.
"Oh! Elena, didn't see you there." said Gabe.
"How's Carla doing?" said Elena.
"She's doing fine she's getting all the care she needs." said Gabe.
"That's good, I want to know that she being taken care of" said Elena.
"You've been visiting Carla a lot lately." said Gabe.
"She needs some company, she can't feel so lonely." said Elena.
Gabe was worried about Elena, she was getting too comfortable with visiting Carla.
"Elena, I need to talk to you about Carla." said Gabe.
"What is it?" asked Elena.
"Elena I understand that you want to help Carla get through her family's loss and betrayal, and I think it's nice of you to do that. But don't make her too comfortable, remember she's still a criminal." said Gabe.
"She needs help, Gabe." Elena said.
"As your friend, I don't want you to lose focus on what's important." said Gabe "Your family, your friends, and your kingdom are the most important things in your life you have to put them first and leave Carla out of it."
"Gabe, I understand where you're coming from but I can't let her feel miserable in that dungeon with no family while I have mine." said Elena. "Carla's needs someone to care for her like her father did."
"Elena, She and Victor committed many crimes in Avalor, Carla chose this path, so she has to pay the price for it. She brought this on herself." said Gabe
"I know, and you're right. But every time I visit her, she's becoming a little nicer. I really think she's changed." said Elena.
"How do you know that?" asked Gabe.
"When you have a heart and a good judgment of character, you just have a way of knowing." said Elena.
"Well, If you say so." said Gabe.
Hey Gabe, can you do me a favor? Elena asked.
"What is it?" asked Gabe.
"Carla needs someone else to talk to when I'm not around, can you talk to her? Elena asked.
Gabe wasn't too fond of the idea. "There's a fine line between a soldier and a criminal, and that line is not meant to be crossed."
"Look you don't have to like her, but at least try to get to know her, you might find that she's not so bad." Elena advised.
"I don't know." said Gabe.
"Just think about it okay?" said Elena.
Gabe was a little skeptical about he didn't was even talk to Carla, it would diminish his code of honor as Captain of the Royal guard. But he knows that Elena is always willing to do the right thing even if it's with her enemies. Gabe would take Elena advice into consideration.
...
Back in the dungeon, Gabe was about to see Carla when Antonia the first female on the royal guard alerted him about some crimes that have been happening in Avalor.
"Captain we've had some robberies in Avalor city, a professional thief has stolen money from citizens and businesses." said Antonia.
"Good thing we have a highly trained guard. we'll go with our usual formation of attack" said Gabe.
Carla overheard their conversation from her cell and she realized they were making a big mistake.
"That won't work if you dealing with a professional thief." Carla intervened. "if youre going to catch him, you need to know all their secret places every criminal has to hide in Avalor."
"And how do you know all this?" Gabe questioned.
"Papa taught this to me when we were thieves, I know the ways of thieving better than anyone." said Carla.
"As far as im concerned you are the last person we should trust." Gabe sternly said.
Antonia doesn't know Carla well and she wasn't sure about her, but she does make a good point.
"Captain, she has experience with criminal acts, if it works we should take her advice, if it doesn't then it will be the last time we trust her" said Antonia.
Gabe remembered what Elena said about Carla changing, now it was time to test that theory.
"Are you willing to agree to that Carla?" Gabe challenged.
"Yes, im sure of it." Carla said with confidence.
"Okay, What do we need to do?" asked Gabe.
"I'm going to tell you the exact places where thieves usually hide and you going to post every guard in that position." said Carla.
...
A few hours later, Gabe and the his squad got back to the dungeon with the thief.
"Well Carla, it's seems you were right." said Antonia.
"How did you know that the thief was going to be in one of those hiding spots?" said Gabe.
"I told you my father and i were thieves we know these things" said Carla.
Gabe was curious.
"Why would you help a royal guard?" asked Gabe.
"Because I want to do the right thing, so might as well start off somewhere." Carla answered with pure honesty.
Gabe was suprised to see Carla like this, normally she would lie and trick someone, but this time she's honest and sincere and willing to make amends with everyone, so why not give her a chance?
"You know, I guess you're not that bad Carla." said Gabe.
"Thanks" said Carla.
as Gabe left the dungeon, he figured that maybe Elena was right maybe Carla has changed, and her knowledgeable skills of crime experience to help the royal guard has proven it. Maybe for now on he might be able to get to know Carla a bit.
