Preparations

3 years later

Blake left the sitting room where he had been talking to his parents. Instead of heading straight upstairs he stood near the door for a few minutes before they began talking his father starting, "I don't know dear. Allowing Hunter to go? It's not been done."

"I know, but Hunter hasn't been at his best since Elizabeth died."

"Yes, but then shouldn't we keep him here, to help him?"

"I think keeping his mind occupied with his brother is the best help we can give him right now."

"Surely he should be over that now. It's been a few years."

"I know. And I'm not saying he's still hurting from what happened to Elizabeth, but that kind of a thing impacts one, especially since he was so young as was she."

"I still don't understand what her death has to do with his behavior now."

"After she died he shut everyone out, everyone but Blake. Then once he started coming out from wherever he kept himself hidden he still wouldn't talk much. But if you see him you see Blake. They are without question a pair that can't be separated. I think that to separate him from Blake would be one of the worst possible things to do."

"I see what you're saying. The Kingdom still talks about him. Do you think sending him off will confirm their ideas?"

"I think we should worry more about him than the peoples' ideas."

"It's not that, but when he takes over I don't want everyone against him."

"I see. Neither do I."

"Well, then I suppose letting Hunter go would be best for him."

"Yes. Shall I send a letter to them?"

"I think that's a good idea."

Blake took off knowing that his mother was going to be exiting the room quite soon. He quickly headed to Hunter's room to tell him his idea. He passed no one on the way there for no one liked to be near Hunter anymore for fear of his temper. He slowly opened Hunter's door and saw him doing a series of exercises. The sixteen year old came in and shut the door. "Hunter." Blake wanted for a few minutes before he stopped.

The nineteen year old blonde man looked towards Blake, "Everything okay?"

"Yeah." Hunter turned and looked out the window. Blake continued, "Did you want to come with me?"

Hunter turned around with his eyebrow raised, "Mother and Father?"

"They said it was fine."

Blake saw a small smile on Hunter's face before it disappeared and he nodded, "When do we leave?"

"Today."

"Thanks for the notice."

The younger boy gave a grin before starting to walk out, "You're welcome."

Tori and Cam sat at the table finishing their breakfast. Cam looked over towards Tori's side and then around the room, "Where's Kelly?"

"Sleeping." Tori said shrugging. "She's not my babysitter, and she was tired."

"You don't have to explain that to me."

The blonde girl smiled, "I know."

"So, today's the day?"

"Hmm?" was all that came from the girl who then picked up her cup to take a drink.

"You know, Leanne just left a couple days ago, and so you…"

Tori put down her cup and stood up, "What are you talking about Cam? I think you have me confused with someone else."

Cam gently grabbed her wrist before standing up himself, "Tori what are you going to do?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Look, I know he's coming today. He's coming and you're going to meet him because you're going to be married to him."

"I don't see why I would have to listen to such nonsense as that."

"Look, Leanne is from that area and she turned out…" Cam paused to look for words that didn't give to much away.

"Much better, since you fell for her?"

Cam turned a shade of red, let go of Tori's wrist and cleared his throat before continuing, "Look you'll be there when he comes right?"

"Why should I?"

"Because it's the polite thing to do. It's part of it. If you don't show up that's a disgrace to him."

"Cam, why would I want to disgrace a guy I think the world of?" She said sarcastically.

"Tori, look, I know you haven't met him, but at least give him a chance."

"Why? You haven't met him."

"No."

"So how can tell me that?"

Cam pursed his lips together giving Tori a bit of a triumphant. "Shane and Dustin have met him and they say that he is a great guy."

"Oh, so they say so that means I have to? Of course they think he's great, it's not like they're marrying him."

Cam had to shallow the laugh that almost slipped out, "I didn't say they were, but they've met him—"

"And I haven't, which is really odd if you think about it."

Tori began walking off causing Cam to follow her. "Why is that odd?"

"Well, it's just something must be wrong with him if I can't see him until now." And she headed off down the hallway leaving Cam without anything to say at the moment.

Author's Note: Okay, I know that this isn't a long chapter, but I wanted to leave the next part in the next chapter, which is when they meet. Yes Blake and Tori are finally meeting.
