Chapter 24
"Petra! Axel! Olivia!" Luna says as the moon starts to rise. Darkness takes over the land as the three people go up to her. "I have jobs for all of you." Luna growls. Petra steps up first, "yes your highness?" She pulls her red hair into a very short ponytail. "I want you to start training soldiers. Make sure they are ready for the first surprise attack. We strike in seven days." Petra nods and walks off. Axel walks up. "Axel, I want you to ready our weaponry. Any explosives and swords." She says and Axel bites his lip. "Um... We aren't going to hurt your daughter, right?" "NOW, Axel." Luna says angrily and the tall pale boy runs off. Olivia bites her lip, "W-Whats my job?" She asks the queen. "Oh, I have a very special job for you." She says with an evil grin. Olivia gulps in fear.
"Oh man! Today was freaking awesome." Lukas says and he holds Jesse's hand. Jesse giggles. "We should definitely do that again some time." They both walk into the castle, smiling like dorks. Lukas whispers something in the girls ear then they hear fighting. "Solar, we are not having people prep for something that isn't going to happen!" Sean growls at his wife. Solar puts her hands on her hips. "What is Jesse is right?! People could die and it would be YOUR fault, Sean!" Sean looks at Solar with shock. "MY FAULT?! Maybe if that dirty thieving ni--" "BOTH OF YOU! Shut it!" Lukas snaps and both the parents look at the young adults. "Lukas! We were getting worried!" Solar runs over and hugs her son. "What were you two doing today?" Sean crosses his arms. "Nature hike!" Lukas says and at the exact same time, Jesse says, "Swimming!" The both look at each other and change their answers. "Swimming!" Lukas says. "Nature hike!" They both turn red then sit down at the dinner table.
Awkwardness spreads when the king and queen sit down as well. Every time Jesse and Lukas look at each other, their faces would turn red. Jesse takes a bite of her salad while Lukas has some fruit. Solar has mutton. Sean has pork chops.
"Hey Jesse?" Solar looks at the pale girl.
"Hm?" Jesse looks up.
"I love your outfit."
"Oh.. Thanks. Lukas chose it out." Jesse blushes and softly elbows Lukas.
"..." Everyone gets quiet again.
"Man I love pork! I need to compliment the chef." Sean grins. Jesse looks down.
"Hey, you okay?" Lukas touches her leg.
"Yeah... I used to have a friend that was a pig. That all..." Jesse stares at his hand.
Lukas sighs, "I'm so sorry."
After taking another bite of salad, Jesse looks up and the first thing she see's is Olivia peering though the window. The girl coughs a little then stands up. "I need some air." Before anyone could say anything, Jesse bolts outside and goes to the window Olivia was at. Olivia looks through the window then at Jesse. "Hello Jesse." She says in her sweet innocent voice. Jesse crosses her arms. "Why are you here, Olivia."
