A Wise Decision?

Blake stood looking out to the west; that was where he had to go. He looked back and knew that somewhere in the distance was the castle. Shaking his head at his decision to leave his horse behind and go on foot he continued onward and was glad that he had decided to leave so early. He figured he would back it back that evening. Tori had some wedding stuff to attend with Cam and Leanne and their fathers and Hunter had disappeared before Blake was even up, which he was grateful for. Hunter wouldn't have let him go over here on his own and he needed to do it.

Tori was definitely the girl he wanted to be with, considering that she was becoming top in his heart with Hunter, he would wake hoping to see her. He was happy that the two were going to be married, but since this was her kingdom and this is what they did to be considered a man, then he was going to do it. Besides with the description Tori had given he had an idea that she probably had done that. And it wasn't that he wanted to show that he was better than her, he just wanted her to know that he had done this for her.

Tori sat in her chair as her Father and Leanne's Father talked about how the ceremony would go. It was going to happen here in the kingdom but they were debating about having an inside wedding or outside wedding. Cam and Leanne sat across the table from her and she could tell by the way their hands were that they were holding hands. That brought her mind to Blake, they had spent the past few days together, and he had been coming with her when she rode and then they would spar together. Never would she have thought that a Brontëan would be someone so sweet and just perfect for her. They were able to talk like there was no tomorrow. Why had it taken her so long to figure it out?

"Tori, Tori."

Tori looked up to see her brother standing over her. Glancing around she noticed that everyone had already gotten up, except her. Standing up she smiled at Cam, "What?"

"I just wanted to make sure you were okay."

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"

"Because, you were staring and you didn't even notice that the meeting was over with."

Leanne smiled at Tori, "I think I know why."

As Tori could feel her face heating up she started for the door, "Well at least I can keep my hands off."

Leanne and Cam turned a little redder too as they looked down at their hands intertwined. Tori shook her head and walked off.

After walking around the castle for the second time she went up to one of the page's that stood by one of the doors, "Have you seen Prince Blake?"

"No I haven't." The young boy said.

"I did."

Turning towards the other page she looked at him, "Where and when?"

"I was coming in from the stables and I saw him head off to the west."

"On his horse?"

"No, on foot. It was a while ago."

"Thank you."

Tori quickly made it out of the castle and looked to the west. Why had Blake gone that way? They hadn't ever ridden that far, maybe he was just in the woods there? Since he was on foot he couldn't have made it that far so she too set off on foot.

Kelly wondered where Tori was at. She was supposed to try on the dress for the welcoming ball in a few nights. She went into the kitchens hoping to hear if anyone had seen Tori. There was always at least one servant who knew things that happened that most people didn't. Walking over to Jack she smiled hoping he would know, "Jack have you seen Princess Tori?"

"Nope. Not since she went into that meeting."

"Thank you."

After asking a few people she decided to try elsewhere when she heard a couple of pages talking.

"Yeah, I saw him heading to the west. He was asking if that was where the knights and princes went."

"What does that mean?"

"I'm not sure, but I said it was and he went off."

Kelly stopped for a second, knights and princes went. Then it hit her, what Tori had told Hunter and Blake. Tori told Kelly what she had told the two princes when they were back at the men's own kingdom. She turned to the younger boys, "Who went west?"

"What?"

"The guy you're talking about."

"Prince Blake."

"Thank you."

Kelly ran off and headed straight for Hunter's room. She knocked on it and heard an annoyed 'come in', so she opened the door and quickly shut it. "Hunter."

He turned, he had been looking out the window, "Kelly! I thought you had to help Tori get that dress done."

"I'm looking for her."

"So I guess you weren't kidding when you said she does have a habit of disappearing." He said with a half smile that melted Kelly's heart.

Laughing a little Kelly nodded before becoming serious again, "Do you remember that story Tori told you and Blake when you guys were in your own castle?"

"About going over into that other land and people eating you?"

"Yes."

"What about it?"

"Has Blake ever shown interest into going over there?"

Hunter stopped and started thinking before he recalled a previous conversation with his younger brother:

"Hunter, if they had had a different way to prove yourself in Elizabeth's kingdom, would you?"

"I don't know. Why? Are you thinking about what Tori said and how they determine it."

"No, I was just curious."

"Good, because that's a suicide mission, I doubt even Cam has completed it. So you better not."

"Hunter, you haven't said anything."

"He went over there didn't he?"

"Yes, b—"

"I'm going to kill him."

"Hunt—"

Hunter started heading towards the door, "First I'm going to find him, make sure he's fine and then I'm going to kill him."

Before he got to the door Kelly grabbed his hand. He turned back to the red head who had caught his attention some time ago and looked into her eyes, "Kelly, I have to go and get Blake. Nothing can happen to him."

"I realize that. You've told me how important he is to you."

"So, you can't stop me, understand."

"I know, but there's something important that you need to know."
