2 days passed. I didn't go to school.

I needed to think. Away from my supposed best friend.

One evening left, and I've found nothing.

I've got nothing more to go on, other than the bullshit Dylan told me.

I have no way to find out either. I need either the girl, Ash or Dylan.

There is no way I'm going to Dylan, he won't tell me.

I'm not at all close to finding out who the girl is.

Ash is my only hope.

I've decided. It's time to go back to the forest. To where he tried to take me the first time. I hope he somehow knows I'll be there..

I sprinted the whole way.. By the time I got there my lungs were screaming for a rest. I leaned against a tree to give my body a break.

I heard a twig snap behind me.

He was here.

Ash P.O.V

For a few moments everything was silent. Neither of us moved.

I was the first one to speak.

"What are you doing here?"

Emba slowly turned around and paused before answering.

"I need answers."

"I can't help you." I turned to leave.

"You can't help me, or Dylan won't let you help me."

I paused and contemplated my options. If I was going to get her trust, I needed to do this.

"I'll give you three answers. I'll answer the ones I can."

She relaxed and exhaled heavily.

I could see her relief.

"Okay. What's going down tomorrow?"

I couldn't tell her the whole truth, Dylan would kill me!

"Tomorrow, Dylan and I are leaving with someone for a while. Two left.

"Dylan said that you two aren't normal..."

Fuck.

Dylan! Why did you tell her that! What the fuck bro! I made a mental note to talk to him about that later.

But I can't tell her. She'll freak.

Okay. Ash. Relax.

She didn't ask about herself. I can tell her about Dyl and I. She's going to find out tomorrow any way. As long as she doesn't find out about herself, Dylan won't impale me.

"That's not a question" I replied.

"I was getting to that.. So.. I'm going to sound crazy here" She grumbled.

"But. If you aren't normal. What are you?"

I paused. Assessing my options.

"I'll answer that question last. You have one question left." I stalled. Just delaying the inevitable.

"What?! That's not fair"

"Emba. I will answer the question. After your next one."

"Fine. Why did Dylan call me the princess?"

Well I'm screwed. I have to tell her. But Dylan will literally maim me.

Okay. Breath Ash. Just tell her.

"Because you are the Lost Princess Forsythia Dark'myrr of our world."

I can see her mind trying to process what I just told her. Anger and confusion took over her face. She took a step forwards.

"First of all Emba. My name is Emba. Not Forsythia Dark'myrr. I'm not a princess. I'm just me. The lonely orphan girl. "

"You are not an orphan. You were adopted. You're real parents were murdered when you were just a baby. We'll explain everything tomorrow."

I tried to leave, but she stopped me.

"Wait. You haven't answered my second question yet."

Damn. She remembered.

"Fine. I'm not explaining how. Or why. Deal?"

I could see that she didn't like what she was hearing.

"Deal" She agreed reluctantly. I could tell..

I take a deep breath.

"I am one of the Fae and Dylan is a Lykos."

Before she could respond I left.

Dylan's so going to kill me.
