Sorry for taking too long but I was having writer's block and I've been thinking what I should do with the whole 'engagement' with Scipio...

Enjoy, thank you for the reviews!


Vera's POV:

Well I have to saw I wasn't expecting this...

I woke up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water when I heard a noise behind the curtains. I keep laughing everytime I remember it.

Hornet and my dear brother Prosper were kissing. It looked like a secret date to me. I slowly backed away and returned to my matress. I forgot about my water and fell asleep.

The next morning I was surprised to see everyone asleep.

I changed and walked out of the Stella. I put my hands in my pocket and walked around. I didn't check the time but it seemed pretty early but late enough for the sun to be just rising.

I sighed.

Before I even knew where I was heading I found myself infront of the big house where the girl had said she was marrying Scipio.

"Easy Vera, Scipio wouldn;t be with you if he was to be wed...Would he?"

That's the problem, I just met him. How could I know he is a good person if I just met him? Maybe we are rushing into something. Maybe he just wants to do something before he gets married... No, just, I have to excuse that thought.

I walked in the alley next to the house and leaned on the wall. Many females would consider alley their enemies or a very dangerous place but I wouldn't care. Many consider me crazy for thinking that but I honestly don't care. I haven't been attacked and even if I was, I knew how to defend myself.

There was a noise above my head. I looked up and saw a balcony.

Curiousity got the best of me. I backed up a little and saw something I sincerly wished I had not... Scipio was with the girl... Christine, if my memory doesn't fail. She was well it looked like trying to convince him of something. I couldn't hear anything, but I could see clearly when she leaned in and kissed him. He didn't pull back or move. He just stood there and took it...Then I saw his hand so to her shoulders to pull her in more. They deepened the kiss. I couldn't take it anymore I felt that my heart was slowly breaking because of a stranger, a beautiful stranger.

I ran under the balcony, out of view, and leaned on the wall. I slid down and hugged my knees.

Scipio's POV:

Christine kept trying to convince me that the marriage was nessesary to save her father but, my heart was strong enough not to hurt the girl I love. Some might say i'm a fool to think that I love someone I just met but I feel like I've known her forever.

I was so deep in thought that I didn't notice her leaning in until it was too late. I just felt her lips on mine. Her's weren't as soft as Vera's and they felt forced. Unlike Vera, when I kiss her I love her and I feel the love returned. I couldn't move, my heart belonged to Vera but I still have a weak spot. I coulnd't bring myself to pull away and hurt her, but I also wouldn't risk loosing Vera...And Vera is more important. I grabbed her shoulders to push her away but she took it the wrong way and deepened the kiss. I closed my eyes and just moved out of the way. She crashed against the railing.

"Ouch. Scipio I-" She turned and walked to me. I backed away.

I pointed at the door."Out. Just get out of my room. Never again do I want to see you here."

She walked out with her head down. I needed some air. I changed into my everyday outside clothes and climbed down the rope from my I felt the ground I hid the rope. I was walking out of the alley when I noticed movement from the corner of my eyes.

"Who's there?" I said.

Then I saw Vera step out feom the shadows. She looked in pain.

"Vera? What's wrong?" I moved to her but she stepped back.

"Vera?"

"I saw you and Christine. I didn't want to." Her voice was breaking.

"Vera I-" I stepped closer but she just stepped back.

I was getting angry, nto of Vera for not wanting me near but of myself for ever letting Christine near.

I ran to her and had her against the wall.

Vera's POV:

He moved too fast and had me pinned to the wall before I even reacted.

"Let me go!" I hissed.

"Stop struggling. I won't let you go until you listen to me. I don't feel annything for Christine."

My body relaxed but my heart just broke even more. I laughed,"That's not what it looked like."

He leaned closer to me, his lips just a few inches away.

"Vera she kissed me. I tried to push her away but she took it the wrong way and well continued."

"I can't believe you."

"Why?"

"Because you have done the damage that cannot be fixed."

"I can fix it." He said and leaned in to kiss me.

I felt his soft lips on mine. His arms wrapped around my waist. My body moved with his but my arms stayed in place. I didn't kiss him back. My mind and heart were at war with each other.

My heart was on his side but my mind was on my side, Before I could even decide I felt my knee hit his weak spot. He fell to the floor groaning in pain.

He looked up at me questioningly.I felt tears fill my eyes and escape to my cheeks.

"I can't." I said before running off.

What am I going to do? Could I really go to the Stella? Could I really leave everyone there?

I have only been there for a while yet I felt that I belonged there. But for know all I had to do was get as far away from Scipio as possible...
