9-Kaly Gets Involved

"You know the rules, your majesty." Kaly told Arianna. Her teeth were clenched and her eyes narrowed down on the Queen. Kaly was not happy that Arianna was, yet again, trying to bend the rules to suit her life, wants and needs. Naturally, Kaly suspected it was Courtney's doing that was finally rubbing off on her.

"Yes, I do know the rules." Arianna replied as cool as a Summer breeze. She was not phazed by Kaly. Courtney had taught Arianna that she was the one in charge of Kaly, not the other way around as Kaly seemed to think.

"Then why do you keep breaking them?" Kaly pleaded to know. She was getting fed up of chasing after Arianna, trying to fix everything she had done 'wrong' according to the rules.

"I keep breaking them because they are stupid rules!" Arianna snapped. She hadn't meant to take a nasty tone with Kaly; it had just come out that way. Arianna was just stressed out and needed to take her anger out on someone.

"Stupid or not, the rules are there to ensure the safety of you and the towns people." Kaly reminded Arianna, who just rolled her eyes. Kaly was all about the 'safety' of others.

"I would never break a rule if it meant putting myself or others in danger." Arianna told Kaly. "My vows are to the town of Scarlatina. I will not hurt anyone."

"You think that bringing a Tracker into this town is not dangerous?" Kaly asked. She was clearly disappointed in Arianna. Arianna was supposed to be the level-headed one in the family. She was the natural born leader, always looking out for others before herself. Kaly believed Alan was a threat, but Arianna, able to look past a person's exterior, knew better than that.

"Alan is not a bad Tracker, Kaly. He is on outside." Arianna said. "In fact, he has just gone off to quite the academy. So I do not know what you are complaining about."

"It does not make a difference." Kaly stated.

"Yes it does!" Arianna countered. She was gaining more and more strength and power to stand up against Kaly. Kaly needed someone to stand up to her, and Courtney just wasn't going to cut it anymore. "Alan is moving in here with me because he is my boyfriend. If you don't like that, Kaly, you can move out. This is my palace, my home...I'm entitled to have anyone I want live with me. And you are not one of those people..." Kaly didn't reply. "Nothing you say will stop Alan from moving in." Arianna finished.

Courtney sat on the creamy-white sofa, flipping through a magazine she had found. It was written in Scarla, but she still tried to work it out. She was waiting for Arianna to come back from her 'talk' with Kaly. It was an agonizing wait, but finally it was over.

The blonde Queen stormed in, slamming the lounge door so hard that the other two entrances and exits to the room shut also. Arianna looked pissed off, even more so as she jumped down beside her cousin.

"How did it go?" Courtney asked, trying to ask it as if Arianna was smiling instead of having that sour look on her face.

"Who am I kidding, Court?" Arianna mumbled. "I might have put everyone in danger..." Tears were slowly starting to gather in the bottom parts of Arianna's eyes.

"You think Alan is danger?" Courtney questioned.

"No..." Arianna shook her head. "I trust him, I love him...But what if he had been a bad Tracker, Court? I would have trusted him before I had known him..." A few tears slithered their way down Arianna's tanned cheek before she could even wipe them away.

"You trusted him because I trust him." Courtney reminded her cousin, running her thumb underneath Arianna's eyes to get rid of the tears. "I would never have allowed you to bring him into Scarlatina if he had been any other Tracker."

"That is beside the point, Courtney." Arianna gently closed her eyes and made her voice go back to its original posh like accent. "I should be able to trust my own judgments, not yours."

Courtney rolled her eyes knowing that Arianna wouldn't have been able to see with her eyes shut. Arianna was being a bit dramatic in Courtney's opinion. She was slightly exaggerating and going over the top.

"You knew being Queen was not going to be easy." Courtney whispered into her cousin's ear, trying her best to match Arianna's posh voice with her own. "But you still took on the challenge when I could not."

Arianna smiled, almost laughing at how ridiculous Courtney sounded. Posh was not for her.

"So far you have done an amazing job of being Queen." Courtney said, her voice now back to normal. Arianna opened her eyes and wiped away the tears as Courtney smoothed her hair. "Look...The Trackers have threatened to attack, but they haven't. When Celia escaped, you kept everyone safe whilst we went out looking for her." Arianna sniffled, looking to Courtney to see if she really meant what she was saying. She did. "You can trust your own judgment, Arianna. You just need to trust yourself first."
