Start of something new

One week have past since last time. Jack or Zandra still haven't said a word to each other, just avoided the other like the plague. Paris and Zandra had decided to slowly restart their relationship, but Zandra would get annoyed every time Paris sided with Jack. Paris and Jack sat inside Zandra's and Paris's study and they both laughed until they heard Paris's name being mentioned onto the TV and turned to look at the screen. One of the many gossips shows was on air and a woman speaking to the camera.

''Princess Chel and Paris Lestrange broke off their engagement earlier the previous week, and one of the many guests for the Princess's 21st birthday this weekend was her old childhood friend Anthony, Duke of Argenteo.''

''The young duo have been seen out having lunch and the Princess's birthday party where they were spotted with each other all night.'' The woman said as pictures of Chel and a young man with blond hair having lunch and the same man dancing with Chel into the palace throne-room. Paris couldn't help to notice the twinkle in Chel's violet eyes and the wide smile onto her soft pink lips.

''In an interview with Princess Chel this morning, she talked about hers and Mr Lestrange's break-up and her relationship with the Duke. She says that Anthony is an old dear friend to me and the rest of my family. He always knows how to get me into a good mood and he always makes me laugh. Rumours is that Anthony also had meet Princess Chel's ward Teddy, and he two of them had find an liking to each other. Could it be love blossoming between the young couple?'' Paris took the remote from the desk and stared to angrily zap between the channels.

''I need to see that interview, it has to be here somewhere.'' He hissed angrily as he searched through the channels, but without any luck.

''Calm down, it's probably nothing.'' Jack said, trying to calm him down. Paris slammed the remote-control onto the desk and starred over at his best friend.

''You heard her! You saw the pictures.'' Paris hissed angrily and he leaned back into his chair and gritted his teeth and tied his fist tightly together. Jack sighed and folded his arms across his chest.

''I think you're overreacting. That bloody show can make it look like we are dating and make it look convincing.'' He said and raised his eyebrows. Paris glanced over at Jack and thought for a second before nodding his head.

''Maybe you're right. I'm going to meet Amazonia for lunch later, I can ask her about it.'' Paris replied and sat up straight again. Jack grinned slightly.

''I'm surprise that it's bothering you so much. After all, you and Chel broke up and you're with Zandra now. Afraid that Chel with forget you?'' Jack teased. Paris looked up at his best friend and frowned his eyebrows.

''Chel broke up with me, and I just don't think that it's healthy for Teddy to have a new guy running around in his life each week. That's all.'' Paris replied him and looked back down into his papers. Of course he was lying, well sort of. The thing with Teddy was true, but the thought of Chel with some else made his blood boil of jealousy.

''What did you except? Chel is a very attractive woman. But you maybe thought that she would join a convent?'' Jack added and took a pen from the desk and played with it between his fingers. Paris looked up once again but decided not to give him a reply.

''I still can't believe that you went back to Zandra, she's insane. Nothing compared to Chel.'' Jack added.

''Zandra have many good qualities. You'll understand one day when the right girl comes along.'' Paris replied him while he wrote of the paper before him. Jack huffed and frowned his eyebrows.

''I'll never fall in love. I can't, it's like a curse or a blessing, however you want to look at it.'' Jack said and shrugged his shoulders. Paris nodded his head and rolled his eyes. Jack might be tough, but he's not made out of steel.

''And even if it were possible, I can't thanks to our lovely bloodsucker!'' Jack hissed in spite by the thought of Zandra and the stupid new demand that she had made. Paris looked up at Jack again and sighed.

''I'm working on it, just try to stay out of trouble. I know it might be difficult, but don't go and push the wrong buttons with her.'' He replied him. Jack growled and ran a hand through his raven hair. And in that moment, the door opened and Zandra walked inside and Jack didn't waste any time to stick around. Zandra glared after him until going over to Paris and placed some papers in front of him.

''These needs your approval.'' She said and put her hands on her waist and Paris took a look at the papers before putting his signature of it. Zandra grinned slightly as she looked at him. Paris noticed and chuckled.

''What?'' He asked. Zandra folded her arms and shrugged her shoulders.

''You fill the roll well, a business man and boss type.'' She said and walked around the desk and sat down across Paris's lap.

''I have a lot of work to do.'' Paris said as she started to lean in closer to his face.

''Work can wait for a few more minutes.'' She whispered and as she was only inches away there was a knock on the door. Zandra growled as she stood up again.

''Come in.'' Paris yelled and the door opened and a young man comes inside.

''I'm sorry to disturb you General, but there is a man outside named Spencer insisting that he's your guest.'' The young man said. Paris grew a wide smile on his lips and left the room leaving Zandra confused. When he reaches the courtyard, the two first figures he recognise as his father Spencer Lestrange and Amazonia. The other two were female, one adult and the other one by the same age as himself. As he walked down the steps down to the courtyard he looked at the adult woman carefully, and even though she was older then she had been in the photo that he had, he still recognised her. As he slowly made his way over to Spencer and the woman besides him, thousands of thoughts and questions raced through his mind but they all stopped when he stood face-to-face with the woman with long curly brown hair and light-blue eyes.

''It's you isn't it?'' Was the only thing that he could manage to say. The woman smiled widely as a tear ran down her cheek.

''Paris.'' She whispered softly and brushed her fingers softly against his cheek, before they shared a hug. A hug full of warmth that Paris never had experienced before. He could feel a large hand on his shoulder and pulled away from the woman and faced Spencer before hugging him as well.

''They came looking for you at the palace, and since we're supposed to meet up I thought I might as well join and show them the way.'' Amazonia said and walked over to them. Spencer turned around and reached out for the younger girl behind him, pulling her foreward.

''This is Breanna, your cousin.'' He smiled as he pushed her foreward. Breanna was a beautiful slime and curvy girl with long curly auburn hair and dark green eyes. The two cousins shook hands and smiled friendly to the other.

''Spencer, you're back. I almost thought you had run away with my horse.'' A voice came from behind and they looked over to see Jack walking down the stairs grinning as he whistled over to his dark brown stallion.

''He's in good health to, I told you I would take care of him.'' Spencer laughed as Bellator obediently walked over to his owner, giving him a friendly push in Jack's stomach with his large head.

''I missed you too buddy.'' Jack smiled and patted Bellator on the neck. Before turning around to face Paris and the others where his eyes fell on Breanna. He didn't even realise that he was staring before Breanna frowned her eyebrows and folded her arms across her chest.

''What are you staring at?'' She asked irritated, making Jack snap out of it and tried to talk himself out of the situation but only found himself only being able to stutter. Spencer laughed and laid his arm around Breanna's shoulder.

''Don't worry, my niece has a bit of a temperament but she's harmless.'' He said. Paris turned and asked the same man from before putting Bellator back into the stables before asking the others to come inside. As Breanna walked past Jack, she glared at him irritated and Jack looked after her. Paris took a hold of his shoulder.

''Don't even think about it. She's off limits.'' He whispered warningly.

''I wouldn't even dream of it.'' Jack replied him before they joined the others inside and they all went inside Paris's study and sat down.

''There is something that we need to tell you.'' Spencer said and took Breanna's hand while she looked down into her lap.

''Breanna got out from rehab a few months ago, she needs a change of environment.'' He added. Paris nodded his head and thought for a moment.

''I don't think staying here might be such a good idea, you need something calmer.'' Paris replied.

''Well, there is the beach-house. There is nobody there so it always stands empty anyway and it will until it's time for the baby to come. I don't think Miguel and Topaz would mind her staying there.'' Amazonia said and stroke her pregnant stomach softly. Paris nodded and leaned back into his chair.

''It's not a bad idea, but you can't go alone though.'' He said before Jack cleared his throat and stood up straight.

''I can go with her.'' He said and scratched the back of his head. Paris frowned his eyebrows. He had to admit that he wasn't very fond of Jack's proposal.

''We're going to discuss that later, first we should go to the palace and talk to Miguel and Topaz.'' Paris said as they stood up and started to walk outside. Paris walked over to Jack.

''You stay here, I'm not finished with you.'' He said. Jack nodded his head and watched as the others boarded one of the ships before he continued into the stables.

''You know that we could just call and ask.'' Amazonia said as she and Paris boarded the ship. Paris nodded and closed the door.

''I know, but it's better to ask them in person.'' He replied her. Amazonia nodded and rolled her eyes.

''Yes, and you're hoping to see Chel.'' She said and fasten her seatbelt. Paris took the seat right next to her and fasten his as well.

''I'm hoping to see Teddy.'' He replied him. Amazonia smirked and nodded her head.

''Of course. And Chel.'' She added. Laughed and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

At the palace, Paris, Amazonia, Breanna, Spencer and Bonnie stood into the throne-room with Topaz.

''It's only a major relieved to us that there is someone will be living there. Both me and Miguel had been feeling a bit guilty that it stands empty all the time. You are welcome to stay there for as long as you want dear, even after Amazonia and Tulio's baby is born.'' Topaz said and smiled over at the young girl in front of her.

''Thank you very much, I promise I will take good care of it.'' Breanna smiled before they all heard the big doors open and saw Teddy running inside followed by Chel hooking arms with Anthony laughing together. The minute she set her eyes of Paris, Chel's laughter died out. Paris gulped hard and by the sight of his princess arm hooking with some other dude made his heart break slightly. By he soon snapped out of his trance when Teddy collided with his legs.

''Hi you.'' He smiled and crouched down and ruffled Teddy's hair.

''What are you doing here?'' Chel asked as she and Anthony walked over to them. Paris looked up at her and was about to answer her, but Miguel walked inside with a key-ring and gave it to Breanna.

''This is my cousin Breanna, she's going to stay in your beach-house for awhile.'' Paris replied her. Chel nodded and greeted the others.

''Alright then, if you should need anything don't be afraid to ask.'' Topaz smiled and placed a hand onto Breanna's shoulder.

''I will, thank you again.'' She smiled. Paris hugged Teddy goodbye one more time before he and the others where leaving. When he pasted Chel and Anthony, he glanced at them for a second mumbling a quiet goodbye. On their way back outside, Paris and Amazonia walked slightly behind Spencer, Breanna and Bonnie.

''Well, that was awkward.'' Amazonia whispered.

''How much time have they spent together?'' Paris asked and glanced at her. Amazonia sighed and shook her head.

''Much.'' She said sadly. She knew that Chel and Paris still had strong feelings for each other, and she just couldn't understand what would make Chel to end their relationship, nobody seemed to.

When Paris and the others came back to the mansion, yelling could be heard from inside the study.

''I heard that you might move back to the palace, maybe you should since you feel that there's nothing her for you!'' Zandra hissed from inside.

''Only cause you took it from me, my job, my freedom. It's all you know how to do, it's take!'' Jack yelled back at her. Paris growled and walked inside.

''What's going on here?!'' He spat at them and gritted his teeth. Jack stood leaning over the desk, breathing heavily glaring over at Zandra.

''She wants to kick me out!'' Jack hissed angrily. Zandra folded her arms across her chest and glared back at him.

''That's not true, I just suggested that he moves down in status slightly.'' She said and shrugged her shoulders. Jack's chin dropped like he had just been slapped in the face.

''Yeah, all the way down.'' Jack growled. Paris frowned his eyebrows.

''Hold on, what about Oliver? Is he going to move down as well?'' He asked and folded his arms across his chest. Zandra frowned her eyebrows and placed her hands onto her hip.

''Oliver have earned his position.'' She replied him.

''So has Jack, and he's staying there. The end.'' Paris snapped. Zandra looked at him with a cold glare for a second before shrugging her shoulder.

''Now, can you all leave? I need to speak with Jack in private.'' Paris said and took his seat behind the desk. Zandra left with Breanna, Spencer and Bonnie, closing the door behind them. Jack turned around to face his best friend with a smile on his lips.

''Thanks.'' He said and sat down opposite Paris.

''Don't mention it. Now, I'm not fond of this idea that you leaving here.'' He said and sighed.

''I might not know Breanna, but she's my cousin. We have the same blood running through our veins, I can't let you cause her any damage.'' Paris said and leaned back. Jack raised his eyebrows and folded his arms.

''Do you really think I would do that? I would never do anything to ruin our friendship.'' He asked.

''Besides, I can't stand Zandra anymore. I need to get away from her.'' Jack added. Paris sighed and thought for a second. Of course it would a lot better if Jack did went with her, then he didn't have to worry about Breanna's wellbeing. And things didn't seem to get better between Zandra and Jack, and he feared that one of them would soon cross the line completely.

''Fine, you can go. But if you would do anything to hurt Breanna, I will rip your arms off. Besides, you have made a promise remember?'' Paris asked and frowned his eyebrows. Jack nodded and stood up.

''Got it boss.'' Jack grinned. Paris rolled his eyes and opened the top draw of his desk.

''Stop fooling around and go pack. But before you do, take this.'' He said and gave Jack a small silver control.

''Is this?'' Jack asked in disbelief as he looked down at the small gadget in his hand.

''It's the keys to the ST6, yes. Take care of it, you know that it cost Leon a fortune.'' Paris replied him with a smile. Jack nodded and went to the door and opened it. Spencer and Bonnie went back inside into the study. And as Breanna was passing him, Jack took a gentle grip on her wrist.

''Can I talk to you for a second?'' He asked. Breanna frowned her eyebrows slightly but nodded her head as they walked back outside to the hallway and closed the door.

''I just wanted to apologise for what happened out in the courtyard before, I don't know what came over me.'' He said. Breanna smiled and giggled slightly.

''It's okey, I should probably apologise for snapping at you.'' She replied and put her hands on her waist. Jack smiled as well and scratched the back of his head.

''I'm the one that's coming with you, I'm just going to get my things.'' He said. She nodded and Jack walked up to his room and Breanna walked inside the study to the others.

''I guess he told you?'' Paris asked her as she took a seat besides her uncle. Breanna nodded and sighed.

''I… I just wanted to tell you to watch out for Jack. He's my best friend and I would die for Jack, but he has this bad habit around girls. Of course he have never cheated anyone, but still.'' He added.

''I have talked to him about it, but I just wanted to give you a heads up. Jack can be incredibly charming when he wants to be. But other then that, Jack is the most loyal and one of the kindest persons I have ever meet.'' Paris smiled and leaned back into his seat again. Breanna nodded her head.

''I'll remember that, and I can take care of myself.'' She said with a smile.

Tulio walked inside his and Amazonia's bedroom carrying atleast ten shopping bags with Amazonia walking after him.

''Well, it's official. You bought out every baby-store in Eldorado.'' He smiled and dropped the bags onto the bed. Amazonia sat down onto the bed next to the bags.

''Are you kidding, we're just getting started. Little Ruby is going to need a lot of stuff.'' She replied her husband as she rubbed her growing stomach softly. Tulio raised his eyebrow and placed a hand onto his waist.

''Ruby? Last night you were convinced that little Ruby was little Liam.'' He laughed. Amazonia smiled and looked up at him.

''I know but it keeps going back and fourth.'' She replied and picked up a small pink dress and held it up in front of her for a second before putting it back into the bag. Tulio crouched down and placed his hand on her leg.

''You know, we could just call the healer and find out.'' They looked at each other for a second before they both shook their heads.

''No.'' They said at the same time.

''Besides, buying two of everything. Much more fun.'' She smiled as she held up two pairs of tiny socks, one blue and one pink. Tulio rolled his eyes and chuckled.

The silver convertible sports-car pulled up next to a big house with big windows. The house had a mix of traditional but with hints of modern. Breanna and Jack both got out of the car and walked up to the front door as they could clearly hear the sound of the ocean waves from behind the house.

''Are you ready?'' Breanna turned around to look at Jack as she stuck one of the keys into the lock. Jack made an approving noise before she opened the door and they walked into a small hallway leading into a bright combined living-room, kitchen and dinning-room with big windows going from the floor all the way up to the roof, with the ocean laying just a few steps away. The furniture were covered with sheets and it could use some cleaning, but other then that, it was like a dream come true for Breanna. She had made many mistakes in her life, and she wasn't even sure if she deserved this, but she was determent to begin a new and better life for herself.

''That's awesome.'' Jack said and walked over to the windows and looked outside.

''It's perfect.'' Breanna replied him as she looked around.

At night, Amazonia laid cuddled up to Tulio both snoozing peacefully. Lately, Amazonia's nightmares of her mother had started to disappear. And with the baby on the way, the last thing that she needed was to wake up every night covered in sweat. But tonight, she could clearly see Tulio in front of her with an intense look at his face.

''Okey fine, I admit it! I did it.'' Tulio hissed with burning cheeks that almost matched his flaming red hair. Amazonia woke up and opened her eyes, finding herself into the dark bedroom, only the moonlight lit up the room. She sat up and rubbed her deep blue eyes and looked over at her husband laying besides her. Tulio's arm fell of her waist when she sat up and he stirred in his sleep.

''What it is?'' He asked sleepily and sat up besides her.

''What did you do?!'' She spat at him. Tulio frowned his eyebrows and ran a hand through his messy hair.

''Wh-what are you talking about? It's three o'clock at night.'' He yawn and rubbed his eyes.

''You said, Okey fine, I admit it. I did it. What did you do Tulio?'' She hissed and flipped her bangs from her face. Tulio still looked like a question-mark, a tired one.

''Honey, you're dreaming. Go back to sleep.'' He replied her and fell back into his pillows and closed his eyes. Amazonia frowned her eyebrows and looked down at him. He was probably right, and it was to early in the morning for this conversation so she decided to drop it. She laid back down and cuddled close to Tulio again.

So, what do you think about this? Breanna is a former drug-addict, will she be able to stay away from the temptations from her past and begin a new life for herself? And Jack, why this interest in Breanna all of the sudden?

What about Amazonia? What could her dream mean, or was it only a dream?

Next time, Jack tries to get closer to Breanna, Paris goes to Chel for some answers and Amazonia gets more suspicious of Tulio.
