Hi there boys & girls! Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you guys enjoy the chapter!

Brady POV

"Mikayla, we can't go see my brothers. Not yet." I whispered to the guard girl, not wanting to continue our mini fight any longer. Mikayla sighed. "Are you sure you can't?" She looked up at me, confusion in her eyes. I nodded my head solemnly. "Alright then." Mikayla sighed once more.

"Do you think Lanny would care if we go get something to eat? I haven't had lunch yet." Mikayla questioned. I nodded my head in response. "I don't think he would mind too much." Mikayla smiled as I grabbed her hand to lead her inside. I led Mikayla to the kitchen where we both could grab a sandwich to eat. Once we were at the doorway though, I stopped. I heard voices inside the kitchen and they sounded extremely familiar.

"Ready to go?" A male voice in the room asked. "I've never been more ready." A girl's voice came next. I then realized who it was. Tate and Indigo. Tate must have finally asked Indigo out. Good for him. I smiled at the thought of Tate going with Indigo for a date. I remember he had asked if he could ask Indigo on a date. "What are you smiling about?" Mikayla piped up from beside me. I jumped slightly in surprise, having forgotten she was there. "It's nothing." I quickly covered up by masking my smile with an emotionless look on my face. I had become really good at masking my emotions.

I waited until I heard Tate and Indigo leave before pulling Mikayla into the kitchen. Once inside I quickly put together a sandwich for me to eat while Mikayla created her lunch. I grabbed some bread along with some cold ham and cheese to make a simple ham and cheese sandwich. After I finished my sandwich I turned to Mikayla only to find her finished making her sandwich and was waiting for me. I looked at her questioningly before putting all of the extra food away in the refrigerator. "It's about time you finish!" Mikayla exclaimed as I walked over to her. I rolled my eyes before leading her to the dining room so we could eat.

Once we were in the dining room and both sitting down at the table we began to eat in silence. I devoured my sandwich and was done in a few bites. I was extremely hungry since like Mikayla, I hadn't eaten lunch. As soon as I finished eating I looked at Mikayla only to find her gone. I stood up quickly, alarmed. Where is she? Please tell me she didn't go back to Kinkow! My thoughts raced as I quickly ran out of the dining room and through the castle. I had to find her.

"Mikayla?" I called as I rushed through different rooms of the castle. "Mikayla?" Oh, I hope she didn't run off! "Brady, what are you doing?" I stopped running and spun around to find Mikayla standing there, a bow and arrow in her hands. "Where were you?" I demanded, coming closer to her. "I just went back to your room. I was looking for the bathroom and I couldn't find it so I walked to your room." Mikayla shrugged. I just stared at her. "Why didn't you tell me where you were going?" I growled, causing Mikayla to back up slightly. A playful smirk than crawled onto her face.

"Were you worried for me?" She teased. I growled and faked a scoff. "No. I'm afraid that if Lanny found you then there would be a war between Lanada and Kinkow since he would take you prisoner." I really had been worried for her, but I wasn't going to show it. Mikayla rolled her eyes once more. "Liar. You were worried about me." I shook my head and growled once more. "I was not!" I protested. "Whatever you want to say lover boy." Mikayla teased again. This time I rolled my eyes at the nickname. "As if." I scoffed. Mikayla smiled at my annoyance.

"What should we do now, lover boy?" Mikayla smirked at me. "Stop calling me lover boy!" I growled. Mikayla shook her head. "Nah. I'm good." I rolled my eyes again before glancing at my watch. "I need to go to bed. I have a guard shift early tomorrow morning." I admitted before looking back up at Mikayla. "Do you want me to show you your room for tonight?" Mikayla nodded her head and we began walking to our rooms.

We walked together in a comfortable silence. The only noise in the hallway was our footsteps. While we were walking, I couldn't help but look at Mikayla out of the corner of my eye. Even though I hadn't shown it since I've come back, I still like her. In fact, I think I love her, but I could never tell. We couldn't be together right now though. With everything that's happening, between not being able to reveal myself to my brothers, to this "evil force" that's coming, there's no way a relationship between us could work. Of course, when I do come face to face with the enemy, they will most likely try to hurt me through my family and friends.

I sighed as this thought came to mind. I wouldn't be able to bear it if my friends and family were hurt because of me. "What's wrong Brady?" Mikayla's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. "It's nothing." I mumbled. Mikayla immediately stopped walking. "Brady, tell me. What's wrong? You can tell me." Mikayla looked straight into my eyes. I hoped she couldn't see the worry I was feeling. After a minute or two of studying my eyes, Mikayla backed up. She looked frustrated and annoyed. "Let's just get some sleep." Mikayla sighed. I nodded my head before we continued walking to our rooms, this time in an awkward silence, both of us lost in our own thoughts.

A few more minutes later we reached our rooms. "You're going to be staying in the room next to mine." I pointed to the door that was next to my room. Mikayla nodded in response. "Ok then. Good night Brady." Mikayla hugged me before turning and walking into her room. I sighed for what seems like the hundredth time today before turning and walking into my room. I quickly changed clothes and brushed my teeth before crawling into bed and falling into a very restless sleep.

Mikayla POV

Why is Brady so worried? He's acting extremely strange for some reason but he won't tell me why! Every time I ask him he brushes it off and doesn't say anything else. It's just like when he was on Kinkow! I have got to figure out what is up with him. I sighed before walking over to the bed and lying down. Maybe Brady will tell me tomorrow. Or maybe it's because he misses his brothers! I smiled as this thought came into my mind and an idea started to form. Maybe I can trick Brady into going to his brothers! I smiled as I began forming my plan.

Done! Sorry it's so short! I'm tired right now. Good luck to everyone going Black Friday shopping! Also, let's get the reviews to 100! We are 10 away! Thanks for reading!

Lots of Hugs,
