6-What was Said

Eric let out a great loud shriek. Everyone in the room woke up, turning to face the Prince. Arianna clapped her hands and the Palace's lounge was lit up instantly.

"I am so sorry, Eric!" Courtney apologized, getting up off Eric's lap. She had managed to transport herself straight onto Eric's lap. "I-It's really hard to see where you're going...An-And I am so sorry, Eric!"

Eric smiled, almost laughing at Courtney. He shook his head, sitting up properly on the sofa.

"It's okay." He told Courtney, brushing one hand through his dark brown hair.

"MOMMY!" Belle screamed, waking up fully and running to hug her mother. The young blonde was scooped up into her mother's arms. The two had missed each other terribly.

"You okay, Princess?" Duncan asked, not moving from the sofa.

"I'm fine." Courtney assured him.

"What happened?" Taylor asked. She was also only just appearing in the room, only she used the door and was clutching a glass of red liquid in her hand.

"Did Heather call off the war?" Alan questioned. He and the Queen were now lying on the floor in the corner, where they had been sitting previously. It was quite uncomfortable, but neither was complaining.

Courtney didn't turn to face anyone. She stared down at Belle's head, but had her eyes closed. She was trying not to think too much about what had gone on between her and Heather, but she knew she was going to have to open up about it some time.

"I don't know..." She whispered, a silent tear slithering down her cheek.

Duncan was at his fiancée's side in a flash. He wrapped his arms around his two girls, letting Courtney continue to cry silently into his t-shirt. Belle had already fallen back to sleep.

"STOP!" Courtney screamed out. Tears were starting to scratch at the back of her eyes. "Stop all of this! Can't you see this whole thing is ripping us apart?"

"YOU RIPPED US APART!" Heather replied, her own voice rose higher.

"NO HEATHER!" Courtney yelled. "YOU RIPPED US APART!" The two girls were at a stand off. "I just wanted to go back to a normal, but you just couldn't let me do that, could you?"

Heather shook her head, staring at Courtney the whole time. A normal life was not something that was allowed any more. Once a Tracker, always a Tracker. The penalty was death, everyone knew that.

"Just leave me alone, Courtney..." Heather tried to be as mean sounding as she could, but her words came out more as a desperate cry for help with her last breath.

"Me leave you alone?" Courtney questioned. "You're the one who keeps coming back for more!" The brunette reminded her.

"JUST GET OUT OF HERE!" Heather roared, her voice echoing through the halls. Courtney should have been heard another Tracker had heard, but she wasn't. No one came rushing towards the two, so she assumed no one had awoken at the late hour of the night.

"There's something not quite right about Heather." Rebecca mumbled, untying her jet black locks. They all fell straight down, past her shoulders and most of her back.

"You think?" Duncan asked sarcastically. Of course there was something not quite right about Heather. There had never been anything alright with Heather!

"I know what you mean." Geoff told Rebecca, nodding his head. "She keeps telling us to leave her alone when she's the one who keeps coming back for us." The blonde leader was looking a lot better now. His face had regained color and Bridgette had practically been force feeding him anything that the Palace's chef cooked up.

"Do you know anything, Alan?" Gwen asked. All eyes turned to the only reliable Tracker they knew. He was lying on his back, staring up at the ceiling. Arianna was beside him, propped up on her elbow, staring down into his face. He was deep in thought, she could see that.

"I know nothing about Heather." Alan finally replied, "Apart from the fact she's psychotic..."

"She could have something along the lines of a personality disorder." Geoff suggested.

"Like a split personality?" Eric asked. Geoff nodded. There always was that possibility.

Everyone was silent, trying to think of Heather having a personality disorder. It wasn't too hard to think of. The way she had been acting was sort of odd and off balance.

"Now you mention it, she can be bi-polar." Alan was thinking back to some of the times the two had been together. Which was quite a lot since they were both heads of the school. "She can be your friend one minute and planning to kill you the next."

"But...Is she still going to try and attack?" Bridgette asked, worried everyone was in danger again.

"Who knows?" Courtney sniffled. Her head was still rested on Duncan's chest, Belle still curled up on her lap.

"I can try and find out." Alan volunteered.

"You're not going back yet." Arianna told him, shoving his shoulder with her hand.

"Because...Because..." Arianna was struggling for words. She could not just come out and say 'Because I love you and want to be with you and I never want you to leave me'. That would have just been weird. "Because it's Christmas Eve!" Luckily for her there was a calendar on the wall opposite where she was lying. "You can't be Tracking over Christmas."

Alan smiled, laughing at Arianna. He shook his head, going back to staring up at the ceiling.

"Quick thinking..." He muttered.

"You can stay here for a few days...If you wanna." Arianna smiled, hoping she was not coming across as 'obvious' or 'desperate', which she was neither.

"I guess I could use a few days' vacation." Alan smiled, turning to face Arianna. Arianna, of course, was not looking at him, because, once again, her eyes and cheeks were the exact same bright shade of pink.
