    Charles felt her slightly lean on him, and he slightly smirked as she spoke. His dark blue gaze looked beyond the forest, and at the tall mountain peaks that rose up high above the kingdom and the forest. Though he wouldn't openly admit it, he was quite nervous and worried about tonight. Not because of seeing Camille again, but because tonight was a perfect time to strike at the royals. The words he told Artemis about not worrying were not only for her, but for him. He really wanted to believe that everything was going to be perfect and joyful tonight with no worries, but deep in his gut he knew that wasn't the case.




    The eldest prince stared down at the green and grey stone as Artemis spoke to him, and he lifted his head to look back at her. His gaze was calm and gentle, and he held both of her hands in his." Don't worry, I won't get hurt again. You need to be careful too; I don't need that scare of you almost dying." The dark brunette replied, and he sighed as the moment was cut off.




    "You sure? Well, if that's what you want to do." He said, a bit disappointed that she wasn't coming with him. He was slightly nervous, and wanted her to be there. But, if she wanted to do something else, what was he to stop her? " I'm sure Oliver and April would love to play fetch." He joked, naming the dog's new found friend." Well, I'll be off then..." He said, and started to walk away, but turned back around and gave Artemis a quick kiss on the cheek before happily smiling at her and started to make his way back to his room to change.




    After Charles had changed into a black and white tux with a black tie in his room, he walked to the main hall where he was going to meet their first guest. He had to admit, he was half nervous and excited. Before he entered the entrance hall, he stopped and took a deep breath. He looked to his right, as if he was going to see Artemis right beside him like she was when he went to speak to his parents. He blinked slowly as he realized she wasn't, and stood there for a few heartbeats. Finally, he opened the doors, and at the entrance doors was Princess Camille of Cantrelle.




    Camille was a stunning young lady; she had a petite frame with an hourglass body shape, long, beautiful blonde hair with curls at the end, bright blue eyes, and fair skin. Suddenly, memories flashed back in his head of the good times they had together, and he walked down the staircase to greet his old friend."Charlez!" She greeted happily, her French accent thick and gave the prince a big hug as he came to the end of the staircase." Hey! Camille! So glad you could come!" He replied kindly, and lightly patted her back in return of her hug.




    Breaking apart from their hug, the two climbed up the staircase, and into the hallway." First, there's someone I would like you to meet." He said.




    "Oh! Iz it your fiancée? I've heard 'bout it. She was ze princess of that small country that was taken over by your father?" Camille replied a little dryly. Her mission while she was here was to steal Charles from Artemis. Being the next heir for her country, and since her engagement with the prince of Burgundry was cancelled, she was looking for a new husband. See, her mother said if she didn't have a husband by the time was her turn to take the throne, she would give it to the second eldest. Plus, Charles was not only a prince she had romantic relationship in the past, but a prince with a lot of power.

    Artemis glanced at him as he said he won't get hurt again, taking both of her hands, and then saying she needed to be careful too. "I'll try. Maybe we should just stick together tonight, watch each others backs?" she suggested with a small smile, thinking that would be best. If they stayed with each other and kept an eye out they'd be safe.


    She sensed Charles's disappointment that she wasn't going with him to meet with his friend. "It's not that I don't want to meet her I just think it's better and more polite if you greet her alone," that was part of it, but really she just didn't want to see the two reunite. Who knew what would happen. "April. How do you know the bird is a female?" she asked with a laugh , but nodded, she'd go play with the dog in the meantime. She waved goodbye, and when he turned back to kiss her cheek, she sucked in a startled breath and blushed a whole lot. When he was gone she touched her cheek and smiled to herself.


    After that she whistled for Oliver to come along with her, and they went to the courtyard, which was big enough for Oliver to run around in, and luckily none of the Lord's or ladies were around. She found a big stick to play fetch, April staying with them, cheering on the dog. It was so funny, animals were like people too.


    While she played with the dog, Artemis wondered how things were going with Charles and Camille. She imagined an extremely beautiful woman, way prettier than her, flirting up a storm with him and trying to get his attention. Oh it sickened her and made her so angry. She didn't know she could even be this jealous. Guess Charles meant more to her than she realized. And that kiss on the cheek...she wanted more than just a kiss on the cheek. Eventually Artemis groaned and went to go sit on a bench in the courtyard, muttering quietly to herself.

    "Yes, her name is Artemis, by the way. She's in the courtyard with Oliver, my dog." Charles replied, his mood lifted as she mentioned Artemis. He couldn't wait to see her again, playing with his crazy hyper puppy. He wondered if his new friend, April, was still with the mixed breed and princess.




    "Oh, well, I can't vait to meet 'er!" Camille replied happily, and took Charles arm in hers, wanting to be escorted by the prince. She was here to make Artemis jealous, and eventually drive them apart. And she meant business. She wouldn't dare upset the queen. Though, she cringed a bit on the inside as he mentioned he had a dog. She HATED dogs, and was a cat lover all the way. But, she still kept a smile on her face as they made their way to the courtyard." A dog you say?" Her voice trying to sound excited and peppy. Charles, not wanting to be rude, accepted her arm and escorted her."Yes, a puppy. He's only about 4 months about now, and is quite a bundle of endless energy and mischief." The prince replied with a smile on his face. As they walked, the two old friends caught up with each other, talking about how their lives were, and what they had been doing for the past 6 years. Camille would always flutter her eyelashes and laugh or giggle at anything Charles said that was funny, or would flip her hair over her shoulder.




    As they finally entered the courtyard, Camille straightened her walk, and walk with a more dignified stance as she saw Artemis, making herself look even more graceful and elegant. Her blonde hair flowed gracefully in the wind, her beautiful salmon pink lace dress fitting her hourglass shape perfectly." Well, zis moost be ze Artemis you vere talking all about." The princess greeted as they walked up to the other princess." 'Ello, my name is Camille." She said politely in her French accent, and gave a little bow to her fellow princess. Charles moved a little away from the blonde, so he could be slightly closer to his finacee. He was getting overwhelmed with her strong perfume, and golden locks that hit his face in the wind.

    When the other princess approached Artemis in the courtyard, she stood up from petting Oliver and eyed the two of them. She mostly noticed Charles first, in his tux, which oh it made him look so handsome. And she was just in one of her everyday gowns and looked so inadequate compared to Camille. And Artemis had been right, she was extremely beautiful, she believed moreso than herself.


    Once she came over and spoke, Artemis gave her a small nod and smile, bowing as well. "Nice to meet you Camille, yes I'm Artemis," well at least she was polite, maybe she shouldn't be too hateful. She gave Charles a small smile as he came closer. "So are you excited for the ball tonight?" she tried to make small conversation with her, and Charles sort of. "Oliver is all tired out now by the way," she motioned to the dog laying in the shade over by a tree, April still around which was too funny.

    Charles watched with interest as the two princesses had a conversation, wondering how they would interact with one another. He knew that sometimes Artemis could come off as intimidating with her bold personality, which was one of the things he loved about her. He was relieved that they were both polite to each other, which he expected nothing more or less from them. He could tell that Artemis seemed to think Camille was more beautiful than her, but he had a different opinion. He had to admit, Camille was very beautiful, that she still was the beautiful 14 year oldgirl he had fallen in love with all those years ago. Then there was Artemis. Artemis looked just as beautiful, or even more when compared to the princess of Cantrelle. The prince was glad that he and Artemis had each other's backs at the ball tonight, and maybe, hopefully they could sneak off together together, alone.




    The dark brunette smiled as she mentioned Oliver, and he turned around to see his tired puppy."Come here, buddy." He said cheerfully to his pet as he bent over and picked up the tan colored dog with black points. He held him in his arms kinda like a baby, Olly's long legs hanging over his owner's arms. Camille took a step back away from the drooling dog, cringing on the inside. But, she remembered to put on a smile, and faced her fellow princess to answer her question." Yez! Very much indeed! Can't vait to dance with Charlez again!" She exclaimed, looking at Artemis directly in her eyes as if challenging her to say something different or against her.

    [Yeah!]


    Artemis tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, standing up a bit straighter to appear confident and what no, and not look like some sort of slob. She was a princess for goodness sake. As long as Camille kept things civil, she would return the favor. And so far the woman had done nothing against Artemis so, she had no reason to be impolite. She smoothed down the folds of her dress for a moment, just looking down at the ground.


    When she heard Charles go get Oliver she glanced his way and smiled at how he held the dog. She found it extremely adorable how much he cared for the furry friend. It only made him more genuine and caring and so much better than everyone else here to her. Artemis noted Camille's small step back from the dog. Well, there was one thing she had over her. Artemis reached out to pet the pup behind his ears. "Ah, you're lucky then to have danced with him before. Haven't gotten that pleasure yet. Though I've already told him to beware of me stepping on his feet," she giggled and nudged Charles. After that she excused herself, saying she needed to go get ready for the ball. She gave Charles's arm a squeeze, and because of that stare that Camille gave her, leaned in and gave his cheek a kiss, like he had to her earlier. "It was nice meeting you Camille I will see you at the ball," she gave a small bow and then hurried off to her own chambers.


    After a while some maids came in to help her into her dress, and she'd managed to find the beautiful red one she'd worn on her birthday earlier that year. It still fit perfectly. It was a strapless, and puffed out at her waist in a bunch of beautiful ripples and folds that went down to the floor. She didnt bother with excessive jewelry, but kept her locket, and even her tiara. The maids insisted she add on a little make up, and she let them do it for her as well as put her hair up in a braided type bun on her head. She honestly looked stunning, but Artemis of course felt like she looked over done.


    She had glanced out her window a few times, seeing many many carriages drive by and inside the gates to come to the ball. Artemis eventually left her rooms, unsure if Charles was supposed to meet her or not, but she had the guards escort her to the ballroom anyways.

    Charles gave the puppy a little belly rub as Artemis scratched her ears, and held his laugh in as he saw Camille take a step back from the dog. That's another thing that never changed about her. She hated dogs, and preferred cats much more. He admired how much Artemis cared for the bundle of fur just as much as he did, and couldn't thank her enough for helping him keep Oliver out of trouble. His cheeks went red as the two girls talked about him, and smiled at the brunette's playful nudge. He slightly raised his eyebrows as she excused herself to get ready for the ball, reminding himself that he should do the same. He felt her light squeeze on his arm, and his dark blue eyes widened in surprise as she gave him a kiss on the cheek like he had done to her awhile ago. His hear jumped excitedly in his chest. He didn't see Camille's glare that she gave Artemis, as he was looking down at his dog to hide his blush.




    "Well, I think we should all get ready probably." The prince suggested, and he followed his future bride up to the castle, the princess of Camille right behind him. As they entered the castle, Camille was escorted by guards to her room, and the remaining two went their seperate ways to their room. It took a little bit longer for Charles to get dressed than it usually took him; he was nervous, and wanted to look presentable for Artemis. Plus, royals from other countries were coming. He wanted to make a good impression. He put on a new suit, black and white as usual, but it was a more expensive fabric, and complimented his body shape more. He decided to put on a blue tie that matched his eyes, and he tried to tame his dark hair a bit. Finally, he was ready.




    Before leaving his room, Charles fixed a black bow tie collar on Oliver, and brushed out the puppy so his coat was shining."There, now the royal princes are ready." He said to his pet, and the two males exited the room. Oliver ran ahead to the ball room as usual, catching up with his two younger siblings. Dean was in a suit similar to his elder brother's, while Castielle was in an adorable purple dress and her hair in curls. The heir walked to the doors of the ball room, and took a deep breath before entering. The ball room looked absolutely wonderful, with the dark red curtains fitting nicely with the golden and white polished marble floors and walls. A huge, beautiful crystal chandelier hung from the middle of the ceiling, and there were tables of food standing off to the side, with butlers handing out small appetizers and the finest wine the kingdom could offer. His mother was having a conversation with her best friend, Queen Elizabeth from Great Ebenton, and the king was having a conversation with his old pal King Edgar from Suedon.




    The prince was not looking for any of his friend of royalty, but a specific princess in his mind: Artemis. His blue eyes scanned the crowd from above for her brown hair and elegant figure, but was quickly snatched from his search as Camille grabbed his hand. The young lady was dressed even more exquisite than before; she was wearing a white gown, with black long-sleeved see through lace on top of the gown, and a white belt in the middle. Her hair was in a loose braid, and her dark eyelashes and natural pink lipstick complimented her bright blue eyes nicely."Charlez! I was wondering when you were going to arrive!" She said cheerfully, though he was standing on his tiptoes and searching the crowd for his beloved Artemis."Come! Dance with me!" The princess insisted, and jerked him into the crowd before he could say anything. Not wanting to be rude, again, he reluctantly started to dance with Camille as romantic classical music played in the background.




    "You know, I have mizzed you very mooch Charlez." Camille said softly, looking into his eyes. Charles swallowed hard, and managed to avoid meeting her gaze."Yes, it's been awhile hasn't it?" He replied nervously, looking from side to side to spot Artemis. Camille moved in closer, and he swallowed again, his cheeks starting to get red." Remember all the good times we had together?" Camille insisted, and kept trying to have Charles meet her gaze.




    "Yes, I do...... I guess." The prince replied nervously, doing anything to avert her eyes. He looked up at the ceiling, and peered above her head in search of Artemis.

    Artemis caught the glare but mostly just smirked to herself as she walked away. Camille did sort of...have Charles first, but she had left and gotten engaged to someone else anyways. And it was obvious the two were not compatible. Camille was one of those pretty rich girls obsessed with herself, didn't care much for others. It only made her feel better about herself and she decided being jealous was a complete waste of time. Especially the way Charles's blushed at her cheek kiss.

    Anyways yes, she was on the way to the ball. She had never spoken to the guards before, but now she struck up some conversation. Artemis was starting to think that not everyone in this castle was so evil, they were just trying to make a living. And guards usually stayed in the castle, they probably weren't part of the attack on her kingdom. So Artemis made small talk on the way there, and then thanked them as she headed inside.


    Luckily the entrance she came through wasn't the cliche down the staircase. But people did turn heads when she waliked in, and Artemis blushed, wanting to go blend in with the crowd quickly, find Charles. Some were probably whispering about who she was, a prisoner, and what not...but Artemis really didn't care too much. She spotted Charles dancing with Camille in the crowd, and she almost laughed at the sight because he was barely paying attention to his dance partner and kept looking around for her.


    Artemis stood where she was until she caught his gaze and lifted her hand in greeting, smiling too. He looked even more handsome than he did before if that was even possible. She then nodded her head to say she was going to stand off to the side. And when she did that she could have sworn she saw a familiar face disappear into the kitchens dressed in servants clothes. Oh no..no her rebels could not be here right now.

    As he saw someone enter the ball room, he smiled brightly as he saw that it was Artemis. He really couldn't tell what she was wearing from where he was, but he knew she must look even more stunning than she was before, which he thought wouldn't be possible. His head quickly thinking of an escape plan, the prince looked back at Camille, who had attempted to kiss him twice already and had basically pressed her whole body on him. Man, was it uncomfortable. He just wanted to smack the little b*tch. He was only a one woman kind of guy. He glanced to his right, and was relieved when his and Artemis's eyes met. She motioned her head that she was going to stand on the sidelines.




    "Excuse me, I need a little break." He said, trying to be kind but his voice came out as annoyed and irritated. The princess with an accent managed to put on a fake smile, but glared in hate as he turned around, her blue eyes directed at Artemis. Before she could follow him, she was quickly lost in the crowd of dancers, a man grabbing her hand and immediately started to dance with her in the flow of the music. Charles looked behind him with a grin as he saw Camille's face twisted with jealousy and anger.




    "Artemis!" He called out to his love, and walked over to the brunette. His dark blue eyes widened in surprise and shock as he approached Artemis; she looked absolutely beautiful. "Great party, aye?" He said, partly joking. The heat coming off of all the people was starting to make him sweat a bit, and seemed to overwhelm him a bit. He knew just the place to cool off; at his special place on the roof. He was surprised that he hasn't told her about it yet; he wanted it to save it for a night like this." Come with me, I have something to show you." The eldest prince said, and grabbed her hand. He led her out of the crowd of people, and sighed gratefully as they finally made it out of the ball doors."Finally, I can breathe again!" He said in relief, and continued to walk with Artemis to the roof.




    It took them awhile, after taking many twists and turns and climbing how many long staircases, but they finally arrived at the tallest tower in the whole castle. It was on the southern side, so it was old and unused by anybody. Well, besides Charles. He opened the window, and climbed up and through it, onto the top of the flatter roof, a perfect clear and cool night. Stars shined brightly above them, and he held his hand out to help Artemis through the window." I've been saving this for a special occasion."

    Right now, Artemis was panicking a bit. But then she wondered if she really had seen her friend here...perhaps it was just someone who looked like him, yes. There was nothing to worry about. The young woman shook her head and glanced around at all the people dancing. A handsome young man did approach her and ask to dance, but at this point she saw that Charles was heading her way, and way beyond him she saw Camille's frustrated face. "I'm spoken for," she replied to the man and he nodded, going away as Charles approached.

    "It's very lively I'd say," Artemis said with a shrug and chuckled at all the people dancing, having a good time. Maybe it wasn't too bad of an idea having a ball...sometimes you needed a light in all the darkness, and the ball was doing just that. "You look very handsome by the way," she commented, her hands clasped together in front of her. She raised an eyebrow as he said he was going to show her something, and then pulled her along away from the party. Oh good, it was starting to get a little crazy in there with all the people, Artemis didn't like crowds too much. She laughed at his words, agreeing but hurrying after him.


    There was a lot of walking, and at one point she made Charles stop so she could kick off her uncomfortable heels, and carry them with her free hand as they went up and up and up a bunch of stairs to a tower. The princess was a bit winded, breathing deeply as they finally got to the top of the tower and climbed up on the roof. He skirts were a little difficult to maneuver with but she managed and got up there with him, using his hand to help her. "Special occasion?" she asked, glancing around in awe, especially up at the stars. They were so close she felt like she could reach up and grab them. "What's the occasion? Unless you don't mean something other than the ball downstairs," she asked, smiling over at him.

    Charles smiled in amusement as he noticed how winded Artemis was after the long walk, though he probably would have fainted by now if he had to walk and run upstairs countless times. "Well.... sort of." He answered her, and gazed upon her face for a few moments. He loved her facial expression as she looked upon the glittering balls of burning gas millions upon millions of miles above them. Her skin seemed to glow in the moonlight, her long eyelashes beautifully dark and her soft facial curves standing out. He had came up her countless of times in his life; his brother showed it to him when he was 10, and it was one of the most unforgettable moments in his life... well that was another story to discuss another day.




    " Hey, I'm getting to that part slow down their Flash." Charles teased her, and took his usual seat on the stone cold roof. He patted the seat beside him for her to sit down, lying down on his back and folded his hands behind his head to look up at the stars." Well, I've always wanted to bring you up here, but it was never the right time." The dark brunette said , his breath showed in the cold night, his dark brown hair appearing black in the darkness, with hints of brown shining as the moonlight hit parts of his hair. " It's been a month since you came here, and yes, you guessed it Einstein, the other part is because of the party going on downstairs." Charles said, being sarcastic in the last part of his sentence. He then looked over with a smirk on his face as Artemis smiled at him, and he was silent for a moment." You know, you look very beautiful tonight." He said softly to her.

    If she'd known he was going to take her up all of these stairs she might not have worn such a long and puffy dress! Shed had to be careful not to trip on the way up. The princess dropped her shoes on the ground near the staircase so she could grab them on the way back down. Right now she could enjoy the view. And she looked out, in the direction of home, which was just over the nearest mountain on the other side of it. Close, but just out of reach. One day she'd see it again, she knew she would. Artemis stared for a few moments in the direction of home before glancing over at Charles.


    "Sorry, I'm not the most patient person," Artemis admitted with a sheepish look, as she headed over to join him, sitting down, folding her legs to the side. He had moved to lay down, and for now she stayed sitting upright, looking down at him, wanting to reach out and play with his hair as he spoke but she didn't do that. Was it possible that he looked even more surreal and handsome in the moonlight? "Has it only been a month? It feels like more than that, much much more," she glanced away for a moment. A month since she'd lost everything? "Thank you," when said at his compliment, her gaze finding his for a moment. "How come it was never the right time to show me? I think I'd love this place regardless the timing of you taking me up here," she eventually went and leaned to lay on her back beside him.

    Charles laughed as Artemis admitted that she wasn't the most patient person in the world."Well, isn't that true? It's one of the many things I love about you." He teased her, but the last part he totally blurted out without thinking. It was true, he loved all of Artemis's all of her positive characteristics, and all her flaws, to the very last one. But, he wasn't going to say that out loud! Though, taking the romance of the scenery, and tension in the air, his brain thought it was the right thing to say. Well, it was out in the open now and nothing could take it back in. He wasn't the Doctor, he didn't have a Tardis to take him back in time whenever he made a mistake, or regretted something in his life. Oh, if only.




    The prince's cheeks grew a light red, and he cleared his throat." I mean, it's one of the things that I admire about you, ya know like yeah, so..." He rambled nervously, and he face-palmed himself on the inside. How could he be so nervous and stupid? She probably thought he was a total dork by now. But, they had grown close over the month she has been here, and he was sure she was probably used to his dorkiness by now.




    "I know, it's seemed like years." Charles agreed with the princess, and glanced back up at her again, recalling on the memories that they had shared together over the past weeks. Poison, murder, walks, speeches, talking, dancing, stuffing themselves with ice cream, playing music, the first time they held hands, kiss on the forehead, kisses on the cheek, and all that fun stuff. It was probably the most happy ones he has had in a very long time. At the moment, he realized for the first time that he actually loved the girl. He has always considered it, but had been too nervous to say anything, or admit anything to himself, afraid that she would turn him down and not return the same feeling.




    Charles was snapped back from his thoughts as Artemis spoke again, glancing at her as she laid down beside him, his elbows just above her head."Well, I wanted it to be the right time... plus today is my brother's birthday. Crowley's...." The dark brunette faded off, and turned his head so he was looking at Artemis." I'd hope you would love this place. When I mean by the right time, I mean by that." He added, and gestured to the sky. A shadow slowly started to move over the moon, causing it to get darker and darker outside, they only light from the glowing stars.

    Artemis froze at his words, literally froze. He said that her being a little impatient was one of the things he loved about her? Love? She kept her mouth shut, heart beating slightly faster at this. In a month she had managed to make him fall for her? Did she feel the same way about him? When he corrected himself, well more like quickly covered up what he said, she just nodded. "Thanks, I guess. Though I'm not sure impatience is a good quality to admire," she laughed, trying to lighten the mood for a moment.


    She sat up again, now all confused and her mind jumbling up at the possibility Charles's feelings for her were stronger than she thought. And it didn't bug her all that much, she was...happy to know that at least some of the feelings were mutual. Artemis wasn't sure she loved him though, she definitely cared for him more than she ever thought she would, but love...that took time, and she wasn't sure how much more time she was going to have with him if she went and left with the rebels.


    At the mention of it being his brothers birthday, she tried to rack her memory if he had told her about another brother, possibly that had passed away? She couldnt remember, so she reached over and held his hand tightly. "Happy Birthday to him then," she gave a smile, and then nodded. "I do love this place, the view of the stars is amazing," she said and then let out a small gasp as something started to cover up the moon. "An eclipse?" she asked, eyes widening in surprise.

    Charles silently sighed disappointingly at himself, thinking that it was stupid how he just blurted those words out. It had only been a month. A month. Maybe, she just didn't feel the same way for him as he did for. After all, life was full of disappointments. This was just one of the many. He put on a small smile at her attempt to lighten the mood a bit, and kept his mouth just for a bit, just looking up at the stars, remembering all those good times he had with his older brother.




    Crowley William Schreave. Eldest son of King Henry and Queen Kathryn. Brother to Charles Samuel Schreave, and later on twins Dean Johnathon Schreave, and Castielle Anna Schreave. He was only 6 years old. Charles recalled all the words that were written in his brother's obituary, and the words the priest has spoken at the funeral. One of the darkest and worst days in all his life. He was only It seemed so unreal at first, that the next day Crowley would come walking through Charles's door with a huge smile on his face like always, and give him a big bear hug. For days a young Charles sat stood a few feet in front of his brother's bedroom doors, just waiting for him to come out and greet him like nothing bad had happened. But, that was another story for another time.




    Charles felt her hand squeeze his, and without looking back at her, he gently squeezed it back then moved his hand. The prince actually smiled again in amusement as he saw Artemis's reaction to the eclipse."Yup, an eclipse. Happens every 13 years on this exact day and time." He explained, and watched as the first sliver of the moon was covered in darkness.

    [Oh that's okay, it happens to me too!]


    Artemis caught his sigh, catching a hint of disappointment. She hadn't meant for him to think that she didn't feel the same way about him, it was the opposite, but she was just too scared to admit it to him. But did it matter? Why not tell him? Why not be happy for once? She'd been so miserable and upset and with him she didn't feel those things...and honestly Artemis thought she deserved something like that. But first, she needed to be honest with him, and let him know what she was up to. Because if he found this out later rather than sooner, it would be more painful for the both of them.


    She stared down at him as he explained that it happened every thirteen years on this day. "That's amazing," she said and glanced up at the moon, watching the shadow start to cover it up. Artemis then sighed and took a deep breath. "Charles...there's a few things you should know..." she said and reached out to play with the folds of her dress. "One of my friends from my kingdom contacted me about a week ago," she said and looked over at him


    "He has started a rebel group. They are completely separate from those spies, the ones killing in the castle, and have not aligned themselves with them," Artemis quickly explained, so he knew that they weren't murderers. She paused for a moment, afraid that he was going to hate her for going against him. "I have met with them more than once and I-" she stopped and shook her head. "I want to go home, I want to see my kingdom again, but at the same time there's you," she glanced down at him and reached out to touch him but decided against it. "I didn't think I'd ever fit in here, but you make me feel important, and cared for and and loved-" Artemis watched the moon for a bit longer, stopping herself because she was getting too emotional. "I don't know what I want anymore. I want to take my kingdom back but I want you too," she reached out for his hand, gaze shifting to his, wondering how he was going to react to all this.

    Charles continued to stare at the moon as he explained the blackening sky, his dark blue gaze fixed on the disappearing moon. He sighed deeply in relaxation, sharing Artemis's response to the rare scene."I know what you mean..." The prince mumbled silently to himself, ignoring the cold that threatened to make his teeth shatter. For awhile, it was quiet as the two stared at the eclipse; he wasn't sure if Artemis was thinking of something, or she was just enjoying the scenery.




    His gaze filled with curiosity and tension as he heard the princess sighed and stated that he should know a few things... what kind of things? Rebellion? More death? Guilt? Deep inside him, it wasn't death, but rebellion; he always had the thought in his mind that Artemis's tiny country survivors would fight back for their independence, but it was just a thought. A thought that he didn't want to come true. It would bring very hard decision making for him, and it was already bad enough with the murders, poison, and tension at the borders of his country. There wasn't just a fight outside the borders, but now inside as well. This couldn't be very good. But, being Charles, he tried to keep a positive outlook on it, and prepared for anything bad or good that Artemis threw at him. He watched calmly as she started to play with the folds of her dress, and found that he was holding his breath, waiting for Artemis to continue.




    The heir raised his dark eyebrows as she mentioned contacting with one of her friends a few weeks ago, and he didn't meet her gaze as she continued; his dark blue eyes stayed fixed on the moon, which was now half covered in darkness.




    The whole time Artemis confessed, Charles simply stayed lying on his back, his eyes still on the disappearing moon. His gaze didn't even seem to change in emotion, just plain and calm. His eyes bore now emotion as she explained wanting to go home, the rebel group, not murderers, kingdoms- wait, did she just say ' but at the same time there's you?' Charles was surprised that she mentioned him, especially him being one of the reasons that she was uncertain about some things. His gaze softened a little bit, and he frowned slightly, thinking her words over and over in his head. Even though he resented it for a month, he knew that Artemis would never fit here in the castle. He had always buried that feeling deep deep inside of him, wanting it to be untrue, that she was going to live happily here for the rest of her life, but that wasn't Artemis. He somehow knew, deep inside of him, that she would somehow fight back with her country to gain their freedom from his father. He just was never ready for it.




    Honestly, he didn't how to feel about all this. He loved Artemis and part of him wanted to go with her, join the rebellion to take down his father. But, the loyal side of him was stick with his family, no matter how ignorant and blood thirsty his father was. But, family is family. Yet, family doesn't end in blood. He was also slightly surprised how emotional and open Artemis was being with him; I mean, they had gotten to know each other very well this past month, put she always seemed to keep most of her feelings at bay. After she was done talking, he sat back up, their shoulders touching, and he could feel her breath on his face. The moon above them was basically completely gone, only a tiny tiny sliver left.




    Charles looked straight into her eyes, his dark blue eyes understanding, yet a bit hesitant and afraid."Listen-" The dark brunette started, but stopped and sighed to himself, frustrated, and turned his head away from the girl for a heartbeat, dragging a hand down his face. "Listen-" The prince began again, and he turned his head back to the pretty girl beside him." Honestly, the first thing that comes to my mind is why you didn't tell me earlier. I could've helped you Artemis, and -"




    Charles was cut off from his words as a hand covered his mouth, and dragged the prince away from the princesses, off into the darkness. He felt his hand leave hers, and he tried to fight back, but failed as the knock out gas was getting to him. Soon, he was out like a light.

    [That's ok. Same reason it took me a while for this response, not sure what happens to her now that hes dragged away]


    Artemis had her eyes on him the entire time, trying to see what he was thinking. He was so quiet for so long, and the princess was terrified he was going to be angry, yell at her, suddenly hate her....it was the last thing she wanted. Artemis just wanted Charles to understand, and then hold her in his arms and tell her things were going to be okay. And she wouldn't mind maybe being kissed by him - for real, not on the forehead or the cheek, but a real kiss.


    It seemed impossible to her now. But they were still so close, he hadn't moved away...maybe he was not repulsed by her, he didn't hate her. So when he started speaking, stuttering a few times unable to make sense of his own words, she was surprised. And further surprised as he wished she'd said something sooner so he could help. Help? Help her with her rebels! But Artemis hadn't known how she'd felt about him before, she was only just realizing it now.


    And then Charles stopped mid sentence because someone had grabbed him, covering his mouth. She tried to hang onto his hand but he was ripped away, and Artemis for sure screamed a few times. "Charles!" she yelled into the darkness before scrambling to her feet to go after whoever took him. "Give him back! He's done nothing wrong!" she yelled aimlessly, unable to see much, or anyone. She wanted them to take her too, so she could help free him. Where had he gone? The princess was frantic, she'd already Neary lost him to death once now someone had kidnapped him and she was so scared.

    Is the Morian thing too much, since the rebel thing is going on, or no?



    IC
    The attacker heard Artemis's screams, but payed no attention to them. It wasn't one of the princess's undercover rebels, but an undercover Morian spy. Well, one of them anyways. The female spy dragged the princes off the roof, and hiding in the shadows, being quick and silent as a snake approaching its prey. She was the best in the business, and if anything, kidnapping was her favorite and best part of her work. The maid was just the first of many that had been killed off in the big mission. They only made this one public to strike fear and distress in the castle. She would've killed the princess, but she was on a tight schedule; and so far, everything was going exactly as she planned.


    The plan was simple; kidnap the heir to New Germany, keep him as a war prisoner for awhile, give hope to the enemy, then kill him and the rest of the royal blood. For years now, Moria has been sneaking into the castle ranks, high positions in the kingdoms political ranks, and many more. New Germany royal court was nearly 90% Morian now. The large armies of Moria had been waiting patiently, but their queen was starting to get restless, eager to start the final step in conquering their greatest enemy.


    The female spy entered a secret passageway that she and other spies had recently built, leading down a long dark hallway. She had done this many times, but she made a mistake, possibly revealing the entrance to their secret hide out. Once deep down under the castle, she threw the unconcious prince into a cell, his hands tied behind his back, feet tied together. [/fancypost][/fancypost][align=center]

    [No no !! The rebel that she knows was only there to warn Artemis they thought something was going to happen at the ball, not by them so don't worry this works]


    Artemis was panicking, her heart beating in her chest, unsure what to do. But the more she tried to figure out what to do, the more time she was wasting. She had to go after Charles, no way was she going to let the spies kill him! He had done nothing wrong anyways, they should be after his father. Artemis hurried into the darkness, the way Charles had been dragged.


    The princess knew that going and getting help would waste time, and second she wasn't sure she'd be able to find her way back there. She stopped and hiked up her skirt, grabbing a dagger from a strap she'd had on by her ankle. She had been worried something was going to happen so she stole a dagger and holster from a training room for the guard and kept it on her. Thank gosh she had it now as she felt along the walls to try and see.


    There was suddenly an opening, a secret tunnel perhaps? Artemis's eyes had adjusted to the darkness, and she quietly headed down, going deep into the castle. She moved swiftly, but quietly, listening for anyone potentially approaching her. Finally she got down to a chamber, and hid behind the doorway, peeking inside. It looked like Charles had been thrown into a cell, all tied up. Artemis glanced around for whoever had brought him down here.
