Third Person P.O.V

Tamara stared down onto the book she was reading. Ever since her bother was taken, the books their supposedly "father" sent them were more on about the New King and his new set of castle rules. Of course, She found them very interesting since it wasn't all about the Old Evil King anymore. Although she did notice how similar the New King is to the Old one.. there's just a few changes. But what captured her eyes was how her father wrote about the rules those people who work for the New King has to follow.

Tamara hummed as she read the line "Never to take off the Leather," as the breeze hit her face very gently.

She was sitting outside her brother's farm, like what she always do when she reads the books. She was aware of how her brother reacts to the books and she knows he isn't very fond of them as much as herself and she respected that. Tamara knows Tom still has hard feelings for their father and Tamara felt the same.. But knowing that their father still sends them books to tell them about the world outside of their town. Gives her the thought that he still cares.

Tamara looks up to the crops and they looked really tasty but not yet edible, "Looks ready but not really...?" She mumbled to herself.

Soon she thought of a new story to tell the town kids. Then suddenly she thought about how her brother reacts to her stories. He wasn't that very happy about her storytelling's. Tom simply thought it was just not interesting since her stories are mostly about the King's life and such. Tamara would always tell him that she was just reliving what their father's books are all about but making it less boring.

That thought made Tamara giggle softly as she felt like crying again, "You're stupid bro. How dare you leave your little sister here all alone?" she mumbled, Tamara misses Tom so much that she cried  herself to sleep yesterday night. But she knew he'll be back since she trusts Tom so much.

"How are you out there? Are they treating you right?..."

Then suddenly she heard the bushes rustle, she bolted up from where she sat and looked around. It's too early for the King's Men to steal! The crops aren't even edible yet! She thought to herself as she panics. It was always her brother that would take care of the crops since she was "still young" to do so. Her heart was beating fast because she didn't know what to do... Should she start picking out the crops when they are even fully grown yet? Or should she just run and hide under the table and wait for them to go away.

Still panicking in her head, Tamara didn't even notice the person standing right across her, outside their broken wooden fences. The person was just looking at Tamara with a grin while she was whipping her head side to side. "Hey, aren't you gonna calm down a bit?" a voice suddenly spoke which made Tamara jolt up in surprise. She desperately searched for the source of the voice before her eyes landed on the familiar figure standing across her.

Tamara narrowed her eyes at the person, "What.. Who are you? What do you want?" she shouted at the person with a glare. The person only cock her eyebrow while still wearing a grin. The person had a hood on so it was a bit hard to make out her face. Tamara grabbed her book and used it as some kind of weapon as she pointed at the person, "This book is very thick and if you're planning to take the crops my brother planted I will hit you so hard with it!" Tamara shouted.

That only made the person let out an amused chuckle, "Quite brave aren't we?" the person commented as they slid off their hood. Tamara tilted her head as she pointed at the person, "Aren't you that girl yesterday?.. The one that suddenly disappeared?" she asked the mysterious looking girl. The girl or really... The teen smiled as she bowed to Tamara, "I'm quite honored that you still remember me~," she cooed in a flirty tone... but Tamara was unable to catch it.

"Oh okay," Tamara bluntly responded as she went back and sat down with the book on her lap. The other let out a groan in disappointment at how Tamara was not at all flustered. Tamara started reading again when suddenly her book was snatched out of her lap. She looked up and saw the teen reading the book while walking away from her until she and Tamara were a bit far away.

Tamara was confused as to why the other had to stand that far from her, "You know... If you wanted to read the book. You can always sit beside me." Tamara said as the other lifted her head up from the book.

"What if I'm a bad person and I will hurt you?" The teen asked with a stare. Tamara shook her head, "If your main intention was to hurt me. You could have done it earlier, I was in much vulnerable state earlier, as I was not aware you were standing there," she explained. The teen felt herself taken aback.

The teen shook her head in disagreement, "Well... obvious enough you read a lot of book huh..," The teen exclaimed in a bit tint of disappointment. 

"Well, I do not want to. I'm afraid my heart will explode from getting too close to you," the other cooed in a flirting tone again. It ended the same as Tamara was still not able to catch it, "That's impossible.. You will have to be like a ticking time bomb for that to happen," she responded bluntly.

"Man, you're too innocent for your own good.. Do you know that?" the other commented while pouting. "I may have some things that I don't know about..," Tamara replied. The teen stared at her with a disappointed look in her face while the other stared back with no other emotion but confusion.

"You aren't that interested in me as I am in you, aren't you?"

With that Tamara observed the teen from her head to toe and she suddenly snapped her fingers, "You got new.. Clothes?" Tamara commented as she pointed at the teen's black leather top. She totally didn't notice what the message the other was trying to say.

"And they look quite new and.. heavy?"

With that the other let out a laugh while holding her stomach, "You're just pointing out the new things you see," the other said laughing. Tamara suddenly felt something warm inside her heart that made her blush a little while the other also felt something inside.. the same as Tamara.

They turned to look at each other. Staring into each other's eyes for quite some time until Tamara shook her head and reached out her hand, "Can I have the book back please?"

The other only looked up to the sky, "Do you believe in soulmates?" she asked.

"I do," Tamara replied almost immediately.

"The thought about having to meet the person you are destined to be with is such a beautiful story. It's what I mostly tell to the town children when they want some of my storytelling's," Tamara said with a soft smile on her face while putting her hands together and intertwining them gently. The teen stood there quietly as she listened,

"I also wanted to tell them about how the King did not want the people who work under him find their soulmates and that's why he makes them wear these... 'Leather tops'... I don't know what they look like or what they are made of... but I guess I will never know. Anyway... I couldn't tell them anything about it because my brother said it was just not for the kids," Tamara stated as she pouted, "He was never happy about my stories and he wants me to stop because he didn't want to hear them..."

The other blinked at her, feeling the same fuzzy feeling in her heart to which she quickly shook it off.

"Hey, Have you seen the New King's face?"

The question suddenly made Tamara shot her gaze back to the teen who was now looking at the book in her hand. That was when Tamara realized the horn-like hairs poking out of the teen's head and it almost made her giggle. But when she saw how the other's face darkened she flinched as she looked at the ground, "I... No... The books always tell me that he has hid his face ever since he was a prince... But even if he were to show his face. We wouldn't know because we never want to enter the main town,"

The teen nodded, "Then you should know that what the books told you was still just HALF the real reason," The other said as she walks to Tamara slowly. Tamara only stood in her place as she just stared at the other, "I don't understand..."

"I can make you understand."

The teen said with her eyes almost glowing while she leaned a bit closer to Tamara, "But only if you tell me that you don't believe in soulmates THEN I'll make you understand," she said as she hands the book to Tamara before walking away and jumping out of the wooden fence.

She paused and turned to Tamara, "You know... I don't like the thought of having to love someone just because we're soulmates," she said before lifting her leather top off.

Her chest was glowing.

It made Tamara look down at hers. It was glowing the shade of pink and purple.. the same as the teen's. With widened eyes she looks back to the person. This time the teen had a bitter smile on,

"It would have been better if we weren't soulmates... So... You better tell me that you don't believe in soulmates."

Suddenly Tamara started tearing up, "Wait!"

"The name's Tori by the way. See you soon~," with that, she disappeared out of sight again. Tamara jump outside their wooden fence and looked around. She was gone. Tamara puts her hand over her chest and clutched her clothing.

"We're soulmates... But... She didn't want us to be?"
