I'm sorry it's been a while I had finals so I have been studying my butt off. Love Is an Open Door was so hard for me to write and I'm working on Let it now that its summer I should be updating more. That's probably going to be the hardest. Enjoy!
P.O.V. Alfred
I walk quickly through the crowd of people. Why does he hate me? Why does he hate everyone? I close my eyes and try to shake the thoughts out of my mind, but I'm knocked down. I don't hit the ground. I open my eyes to see Princess Lein had grabbed my arm. I balance my self," Thanks."
"It was no trouble, Prince Alfred," Her eyes light up. I chuckle," Just call me Al."
She nods,"Call me Li."
I take her hand," Alright. Li, do you want to take a walk around the grounds?"
" Yes,"She moves closer to me. We walk out into the garden. I pick a pink flower and place it her hair. A light blush covers her face and she refuses to look me in the eyes. Instead her eyes wander to my hair. She reaches up gently and feels the white strand," What is this?"
"Oh, I was born with it," I watch as her hand lowers to her side," But I totally had a dream where it was kissed by a troll."
She looks at it a few seconds more before responding," I think it is cute."
I hold her hand and walk to the edge of the shoreline. We sit next to each other on the sand. She leans her head on my shoulder," Why were you running away earlier?"
"It's a long story," I sigh. She nudges closer," We have the rest of the night."
"I guess it started when my dad and papa first came to this land," I begin," Dad was Prince Arthur of the United Kingdom 3rd in line to the throne. Papa was President François of the French Republic. They met one day when papa had a meeting with dads older brother. They immediately hated each other. Over the years that hatred grew to a strong relationship between the two. Papa wanted to have dad live with him, but his country was slowly conforming to the rest of Europe and would soon be apart of the European Empire. Dad told Papa about the new land some Finnish vikings had found and other countries had already tried to claim it as their own. Together though they were able to conquer the land and build a new kingdom. The Kingdom of North America. They became the kings of this new land. The only problem was that they couldn't have an heir. That is where me and Mattie come in. Our mom, Ayiana, was a Native American. She had a one night stand with the vikings leader and got pregnant with us. Our real father left before he knew mom was pregnant. Mom died when we were 5 of diseases. All we had was each other. it was a year later Papa and Dad found us trying to steal some food and took us in. When they asked with one of us were older I lied and said Mattie was since he was smarter and deserved to be a king more than I did. Even though we lived in a palace now it really didn't change anything. Papa and Dad loved us. When we were 8 everything changed. The last I can remember is me and Mattie were playing in the snow and I had passed out. The next day Mattie moved out of our room and go his own. He never left it. The gates were closed. The windows were covered. They were hardly any staff. Everyone acted like nothing had changed and that's ow thing always had been. I would occasionally see Mattie at dinner or walking around the palace, but he never talked to me. He hated me. Papa always said he was just going through something, but since we are twins I could tell something was wrong. After our parents died I only saw him maybe five time before today. He still wont tell what is wrong and he is worrying me. I know after tonight the gates will be closed again and I'll go back to being constantly locked in that castle. Probably for the rest of my life."
Li hugs on to me tight," I don't know how you feel, but I too have siblings that just don't listen to me or care what I do. Most of them ignore me, but our family really is not on good terms with each other regardless so when we do talk it is mostly arguing. I just want to get away."
I look at her and smile," You know what can I just say something crazy?"
She nods."I love crazy things."
"My whole life has been a crap ton of door in my face. Then I happen to run into you," I sing.
Li picks up on the beat and continues," Same with me. I have been looking all my life for a place in this world. It coud be the party talking because my mind is swirled."
" 'Cause with you there is no space", I stand and help her up as she sing," 'Cause with you I found my place."
We synchronize," and it's everything I ever asked for."
I spin her as we sing to the same beat," Love is an open door. Love is an open door. I just feel so sure."
She points to me," With you."
"With you," I tap her nose. She giggles," With you."
"With you," I pull her closer. We sync once again," Love is an open door."
We dance and she slips and falls into the grass," I think it funny how we finish each others."
I cut her off," Hamburgers."
"That is what I was going to say," She laughs. I lay next to her," I never knew someone could," She joins in," Think so much like me. Jinx. Jinx again!."
We stand up," The way that we think the same. Theres only one thing to blame."
I kiss her forehead," You."
" And I," she blushes as we finish the thought," Are just meant to be."
"Wave goodbye to pain of the past. We wont deal with it anymore," We run back down the trail of the garden stopping only to dance on benches and fountains as we pass," Love is an open door. Love is an open door. Life means so much more!"
"With you," She puts a hand on my cheek. I run my fingers through her hair," With You."
"With you," She places her head on my chest. I move closer," With you."
I spin her around to face the moon and make a 'V' with my hand underneath it. She Makes a 'M' completing the heart over the full moon," Love is an open door."
"Can I say something crazy?" I kneel down before her and grab her hand," Will you marry me?"
"May I say something more crazy?" She gives me an awkward smile," Yes."
I shoot up and wrap my arm around her. I whisper silently into her hair,"Thank You, Lein."
"We have to ask your brother to bless the marriage don't we?" Li hugs me back with a bit a difficulty. She doesn't show affection well. I nod as we head back to the palace.I find Mattie as he just finished a conversation. Li clings to my arm. I walk over," Mattie. I mean Matthieu or uh My King."
He gives me a smile as he walks closer to us. I motion to Li," This is Princess Lein of Asia and I would like you to bless our marriage."
He looks on us in shock," Alfred can I speak to you alone for a moment."
"No," I scowl," We are a couple. Anything you have to say to me you can say to both of us."
He lowers his head for a moment before looking back at me," You can't marry someone you just met Alfred. There is no such thing as love at first sight. This is not another one of your constant fantasies. You are not getting married."
"Well I know more about love than you," I shout," All you know how to do is push everyone away."
"Stop Alfred," He looks nervous," you're making a scene."
I didn't care about who is watching. I have to know. I grab my twins gloved hand and grip tightly," No. Why do you do this to yourself? To me? Why didn't Papa or Dad tell me? What is your secret? What are you so scared of?"
He pulls the hand out of the glove and grips it tight. The is a crowd forming around us now. I beg one last time," Will you please just answer me?"
"Enough Al!" He yells as he swings his arm out. Black ice pierces out in all towards the ground protecting my brother. I stare at him in horror," Mattie?"
So there's only going to be Alfred's Point of View this chapter because (besides the last paragraph) Matthieu didn't do crap so Hope you like it.
