Luca and I charged at one another again, our blows coountered or blocked by the other. Neither of us had landed a blow on the other since we first started, and yet we were both already acheing. He round house kicked my legs, knocking me to my butt. I scowled and wrapped my legs around his and twisted, causing him to fall. We laid there, our legs laced together until he freed himself and pinned me, his hands restraining my arms and body pressing down on me, keeping me firmly placed. I scowled up at him and bucked, forcing him off of me and pounced on him. We rolled around, both of us trying to pin the other until I finally pinned him again. We sat there, me straddleing him and him stareing up at me in pure amusement. I rolled off of him finally and groaned in pure agony, I heard his rich chuckle and grumbled indiligently. He moved to sit up and grumbled something about a pushy little tease. I giggled and sat up with him before standing and stretching.

"You weren't TOO bad Moretti, but you weren't as good as everyone made you out to be." I laughed and offered him a hand which he hesitantly took. I helped him to his feet and watched as he dusted himself off, his eyes were so focused and yet so unfocused. "You okay Luca?" I blinked at him in curriousity, tilting my head at slightly. He simply chuckled and put his hands behind his head.

"What makes you think something is wrong?" His smirk grew and he stepped towards me, ruffling my hair. "Go change, you have to go back to Prince Nicholas." His eyes softened at the name. "I know you aren't happy with being his Guardian, but do your job. I don't know what happened, but he's trying to make you being his Guardian the best experience he can, so just try and keep your hate level to a minimum. Now get going." He nudged me towards the girls lovker room and turned before I could say anything else. I walked into the lockerroom and took a quick shower, thinking about what he said. Should I give Nicholas a chance? What, how could I EVER forgive him? I shook my head to clear my thoughts and sighed, leaning my head against the tiled wall of the shower before getting out and drying off. I got dressed and went back to the guest house.


I walked into the room, shutting the door behind me silently. "I was wrong Lissa, AShton wants nothing to do with me... She hates me!" I heard my mother sob, it almost made me feel bad for treating her the way I did, but it didn't. I leaned against the wall, listening to her as she vented on Lissa. "Dimiti said she would hate me if I made her stay, but she hates me because I let her go... Was Dimitri right? Should I have let Adrian take her without a fight?" I clenched my fists together. Belikov! "Oh Liss, how can she hate me and yet love Adrian? He cheated on me and I'm the bad guy..." I slammed my fist against the door frame and glowered at her.

"HOW DARE YOU! Father NEVER cheated on you!" I snapped, making sure to give off a deadly aura. "YOU CHEATED ON HIM! Father healed your heart and loved you, but you betrayed him! Belikov suddenly comes back and tells you he loves you, and you run off with him! Father left and tried to come back but you pushed him away! Belikov has done nothing but LIE to you! HE GOT YOU TO LET YOUR ONLY DAUGHTER GO!" Tears began to build up but I was quick to blink them back. "You let this guy tear your family apart and didn't even THINK that he was lieing! Father loved you, he still does! He can't even stay in a relationship because he's in love with you!" I ran out of the room, making sure to slam the door shut, and stomped through the hallway, tears still threatening to spill out over my eyes.


Sorry for the shortness, I was having writers block. Anyways, give me 7 reviews and I'll post the second part of this chapter tomorrow.
