doesn`t sound like they care about how you feel around here." He pulled me down onto his lap and started wispering in my ear now. I couldn`t hold back the giggles, "Do you want someone to treat you the right way for once?" Jaspers voice was like silk. his skin was suprisingly soft as he carrest me. "Of course, Why wouldn`t I?" he let a comfortingly cute chuckle. " I want to make that wish of yours come true. See I may be commiting a crime." he continued wispering in my ear this time he kissed my cheek as he pulled back. I could do nothing but cock my head to the side. "I am already in love with a beautiful woman I hardly know." I blushed and averted my gaze. " I too, am commiting a crime... For I Love a Handsome man I know all to little about." Jasper`s turn to blush. I loved the way he was so shy yet so couragous, His laugh, everything I knew so far only drew me closer to him. I wish I could tear the clothes off both of us, suddenly realizing what I just thought. I heard his low laugh snap me out of my thoughts. "What?" "You have a dirty mind Barcelona. I don`t mean to intrude on your thoughts but I couldn`t help wonder." Jasper could read my mind. That was crossing the line, but then again he did apologize for it. " Don`t worry I understand you are curious, aren`t you?" He smiled at me with apolegetic eyes. "what`s wrong Jasper?" I slowly crawled off his lap. "You get to choose if I get to stay here or if you get to come with Kathrin and I to our land. Which would you choose?" this huge decision was up to me? "Which will you choose?" I flipped my head to the door and there standing as tall as she could His mother, Kathrin was wondering which I would choose. They had no idea that Gradon wasn`t my father I just simply had pure blood when I was a... Child. "Wow really? I didn`t know that. I thought you were." Jasper KEEP OUT OF MY HEAD! "OW you have a loud voice." I began remembering the lyrics to one of my favorite songs. Toy soldiers by Eminem. "Jasper! you must respect the privacy of her thoughts, Please do not read her mind." Kathrin was warming up in my mind even more. "Aren`t you glad he can`t see your past?" Gradon was now in the doorway behind Kathrin. "Glad? I`m mentally thanking every cell in my body that it`s impossible to see my past. I wouldn`t want anyone to know my past unless absolutly necessary. I hate my past you of all people know not to even mention my past. which reminds me... WHY THE HELL DID YOU TELL AMBER THAT SHIT ABOUT ME... about my past?" I couldn`t help going off on Gradon, he had told Amber I had been physcotically ramping out on a innocent town with my family as a "child". I pulled my fingers through my hair furiously and tugged angrily at the knots. "Barcelona you must understand I only thought she should know to help you." Oh no he did not try to play that book. " LISTEN UP! Gradon it`s not your story to tell and not to mention I don`t look like a Fucking Idiot I know Everyone`s past. Everyone`s even You Gradon I have a reason to hold me back from killing a single person I know except My Brother." He was parellized with shock. "Barcelona your Brother is dead he is not coming back... I mean no harm and I only want what`s best for you." My alert was raised higher than ever for no reason what so ever. I was breathing hard with fustration. "Your lying, I can feel it! Victor is alive and I know so. I know where he is and you keep insisting that he isn`t! He thinks I`ll be his ressurection. That I`ll Fuck up his life more... When I did nothing wrong... He simply wants nothing more than to end me... my existence..." Jasper was sitting there in the corner taking this in his mother did nothing but the same. "Why is your brother such a Bastard?" Jasper finally spoke. "JASPER!" Kathrin yelped up after the last word. I hadn`t realized I was crying till now. "GO TO HELL!" I could say nothing more. "BARCELONA!" Gradon shrieked out. I spun on my heel, "Remember... Don`t borrow trouble... make your own... and... don`t hurt yourself." I walked in the other direction of all of them and that room of sorrow and past spilled on the floor. I walked to my room, "Barcelona why aren`t you with Gradon and our guest?" I didn`t answer and simply kept walking past her,up the stairs. Many of the servants asked me the same question.

What did I do that upset her so much. I hated that face she had made. I felt sorrow, despare, and painful emotions as soon as Gradon had brought up her past. What had happened to her and why was she so mean. It was as though her past was so painful and complicated that If she was given the chose to get murdered or talk of her past, she would take murdered over her past. I heard someone yell angrily not even words just yelling mumbo jumbo. "What did I do to her mom?" I found the words slipping off my tongue. "You did nothing wrong Jasper... But calling her brother that rude, hateful word was very uncalled for. That was not the Young man I had raised to be my son." I couldn`t control myself around her. She was just so natural with me. "I feel so bad mother and seeing her cry like that was horrible and I just want to make her as happy as possible." I then saw Kathrin smile so sweet and genuine it felt all to akward. I already felt like yelling with Barcelona. I felt like doing everything Barcelona was, She was yelling and probably still crying because of what I had said. "mom, may I go talk to Barcelona? I feel to bad to leave her alone." she looked at me a little worried like she was afraid if I went up to Barcelona`s room I would never return. "Okay but be careful... and tell her to get her stuff."


I sat down on the floor far away from the door. by my balcony I sat alone crying silently. I heard the bedroom door creak open and then click shut after some silent foot steps. "Barcelona, I don`t know what it is or why but I understand what your feeling." I felt him slide down next to me and wanted nothing more than to tell him the truth but before I could he wispered in my ear so sweet and innocently, " My mother wants me to tell you to pack... I am here if you want my help." Jasper was being so sweet I cried even more, loud this time. " Oh please don`t do that I love you and hate to see you cry already." he embraced me. I pulled him closer and I coudn`t cry anymore. "Fuck It, That motherfucker can get it too, fuck him." He was staring at me as though he hardly ever heard these dirty words I spilled out. "I guess I should warn you I cuss on a minute basis when I feel angry but hardly when I`m upset." he stood and helped me to my feet. " I love you, Do you love me?" had he really just asked me a question he already knew the answer to. "I love you more than ever,right now." He looked a bit to happy, "Why?" "Because you came after me to comfort me when I was sad. No one has ever done that for me before and not to mention the way you talk to me is so sweet and caring. I love that because no one does those things for me anymore." I felt more tears roll down my cheeks. He pulled me close,engulfing my in his soft, warm, comforting embrace. I noticed people staring and pointing at us when I looked over my shoulder. I couldn`t hide my tears from them. I couldn`t help hearing one woman and man`s conversation, "Have you ever seen the Princess cry?" the woman asked him," No she`s always mean never sad. I think that boy may be slipped around her tighter than we thought this morning." he answered.


The ride to his land was pretty short but It felt like forever with the silence and then it got worse, I didn`t think it could. How you ask? Kathrin asked me a huge inaproppiate question, "Do you want to play with my sons heart Barcelona?" Jasper looked up and shot his mother bugged eyes, "MOM!" she looked at me still," Do you?" I was exhuasted and didn`t feel what I should say. "I... I... I don`t want to hurt Jasper. why would I? I mean he has been nothing but nice to me." I decided to let that remark about my brother go. " I mean he was rude to you earlier insulting your brother and then letting you go away so angry and upset and then we make you come to our land with us." I wasn`t even sure of anything anymore I felt like I might be high on drugs, at that moment Jasper pulled me close to him,"Jasper-" he cut me off. "You must be tired, get some sleep... and... drugs aren`t good for you." GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Ow you have a loud voice." he distinctly pulled a fast hand to his ear, the other was still wrapped around me. Don`t you know curiosity killed the cat Jasper. "yes, I do know that." his mom was now stepping up,"you know what?" uh, oh. " You have very random thoughts Barcelona." Yeah, yeah, whatever. I`m to lazy to talk right now. Will you explain? "you are reading her thoughts again? what have I told you about that? It`s rude and violates a persons privacy. New Territory

Chapter FOUR (Somewhere in Hathersage)
"Barcelona, Wake up." he wispered in to my ear. "why are you dreaming about fighting and war?... You know people know your name already? That`s an akward theme of music running through your head." Jasper wiped the tears from my face as my eyes shot open with his first words. I had dreamed about the war where I had seen my brother fighting for Russia. He had cut my arm and I had ignorantly kept going no matter how much he cut me. My friends were about to kill him when I was in trouble so they decided to let him go to save me and I was grateful that he got away and they stood up for me. "Barcelona what are you hiding?" I reached in my back pocket and pulled out the thick-ass pocket journal I had kept since I was ten. "What`s that?" He looked at
