the one who does it either. 

 

Running around trying to find her, the couple people I do find, like Chaston and Flora, I tell them she is out and they both help to look for her. I burst into the kitchen, but no only her mother is there. She hurries out with me after I explain what's going on.  We've all apparently looked everywhere and no one has seen her.  She never showed up at the dungeon, and she hasn't been spotted anywhere else.

 

Where did she go? What does she have planned. I cut into a room, the art room, to let out a breath and think about where she might've gone. I notice one of the paints hanging off the wall, and I walk over to it seeing the wide open safe behind it. It's empty. I close it and move the painting, and I let go of it looking at the image. How could I not have noticed this before? It's Dr. Drake and Lyra, dancing at a ball! They're smiling at each other, and they look in love. I back away getting angry. What in the hell is going on here?! How had I not know about this piece?  I look for a name of the artist but it is blank. Would she have went to find him? His office. I run heading towards he office. I open the door, and see it's untouched. Where in the hell is she?! What about his room? I walk this time, not wanting to find her there either. But the more I think about it the more it makes since. Although she didn't want to see him so why would she run to him?

 

Once I get there, I'm happy to hear her voice, but not happy to hear what she is saying.

 

"Do it." She says.

 

"I'm not going to do that, I can't believe you think I will." Dr. Drakes voice sounds different. I'm so used to hearing him sound all up tight and serious. Now he isn't uptight, but he is serious.

 

"Get rid of the memories, Elijah." She says one more time. "I can't live with them, they eat way at me and kill me on the inside."

 

"Lyra.. think about what you're asking me to do." He says. "You're asking me to completely delete part of your life from your head. You'll never be able to get them back, and everyone else will remember accept you. Beside I thought you hated me. Never wanted to see me again."

 

"Now isn't the time." She murmurs.

 

"Now is better the never. I don't know when I'll see you again! Now god dammit Lyra, I love you and I'm here for you. I'm trying to help you, I want to help you. But this.. I wont do this." I'm taken back by his words. I knew they were bonded but he just said he loved her! I never pictured the two of them ever actually being together together.

 

"No.. don't touch me." she whispers, but doesn't sound strong at all. "Elijah.. don't."

 

"Lyra, calm your thoughts." He says, "When will you come back to me? Trust me, and love me like you used to." He sounds sad, almost tormented.

 

"Nev-" Her words get cut off, and I back away from the door completely thrown off. They're kissing?! Holy shit was I wrong. How did I miss al of this? Happening under my nose.

 

"You will. You can't fight this anymore then I can." I here Elijah whisper to her, and I take that them saying goodbyes I run and hide around the corner. I peek down seeing her come out of his room, and she looks even more confused then before.  I'm happy to color in her cheeks, and her eyes wild and bright. Although the reason for them being like that isn't my favorite.

 

I watch her as she looks at the ground, closing her eyes and trying to breath. She backs away from the door turning and looking at it, almost with a longing. Yet there is hatred there I see. Although small it's still there, but the heart broken expression beats out what ever anger she feels. The door cracks open an inch and Lyra stands up straight and clears her face. Dr. Drake comes out, is rush, but not using his speed. Then suddenly using his speed, they both are against the wall and having a happy  ol' time. I look away not needing to see, not wanting to see. I did though see the two of them kiss. Lyra and Thayer hugging and holding hands was one thing... but these to is just weird, he is four times her age!

 

I keep forgetting that the bond probably has a lot to do with all of this. I should just walk away, keep to myself what I saw and heard. I want to talk to Lyra about this though, or I least want her to know I'm not done fighting this battle either.

 

Out of no where there is a groan, but not a sexually one, a pained one. It's Dr. Drake. Taking the chance and peeking back over, I see Lyra's knee still resting in the area you should never hit a guy.

 

"I'd say I'm sorry but I'm not." she mutters. "I mean it Elijah... I'm done. I'm going to find a way to break this dumb bond." she moves her leg.

 

"No you wont... you wont say it but I know what you think." He sighs, recovering from the knee.

 

"Stay away from me Elijah." She threatens.

 

"Only because you can't control yourself around me." He smirks, but she walks toward me as if she hadn't heard him. I jog up ahead and start walking down the hall towards her as if I was just coming this way anyway. She stops in surprise at the sight of me. 

 

"There you are... I was scared you flew off and I'd never see you again." I say quietly. Hopefully sounding believable.

 

"No... I couldn't leave.. I have no where else to go." She replies, I offer out my arm to lead her to where she wants to go. Hesitently she takes it, after she tells me that she wants to see Theodore.

Chapter 19

Lyra's POV

 

"I think it looks awesome! Just how long will it take to build?" I ask, looking at all of his battle ship designs. They really are pretty cool.There is three different designs, each one unique in its own way. Like the smallest one, that moves the fasts also has most weaponery on it. Then ther is a normal battle ship, that has a bunch of different purposes. The biggest ship is actually a living quarter for all of the sea manin the other ships. It also has a huge block section cut off that is a jail place.

 

"Well... we're going to need at least four of these.." He points to the small army ship. "Then probably two of those." He then gestures to the normal looking ship. "And only one of these." I nod makes sense. "So... probably a month maybe even two depending on how fast we get materials."

 

"Where are materials all being shipped from?" I ask. Knowing the answer already. Leaving there for a the short time I did I learned what Caswan was famous for.

 

"Caswan mostly...." He scratches the back of his neck, not wanting to bring up Thayer's home town and family. Everyone knows what happened. The queen, Rashell, killed Thayer. I had brought his body back to his parents, and I thought they would send me away and never want to see me again. What actually happened. They wanted me to stay there, and still take the thrown without Thayer. They said that loved me and that they knew it wasn't my fault. They said that they didn't want to give the thrown to anyone else.  I turned them down still. I couldn't be a queen without my prince. With Thayer gone what was I supposed to do? He was the one who knew all the rules, and was going to take care of serious matters. I was just there to look pretty! The West's thought different of me. They thought I was a noble hero, even  though we lost a life... their sons life.

 

"But umm... Lockendale, is also sending some materials along with a war troop to help train our men." Theodore hurries on.

 

"Well that's kind of them." I say keeping my eyes down on the drawings. I can tell my eyes are watery, and I hate crying in front of people. Never again will I let anyone hurt me like Rashell did. To keep that from happening, I need to stay away from falling in love with people. Having feelings for anyone will just cause bad things to happen in the end. I'm starting with Elijah. I don't want anything to do with him, anyways though. He choose his side. He choose the wrong side. Everyone else just needs to keep a distance.

 

"Yes... although I'm slightly worried about it." He sighs, leaning against the table that has the plans pinned out for everyone to see.  I blink my eyes rapidly until the tears are gone, and I turn looking at what he is. It's a bunch of men, working hard and laughing. Having a good time even though they're preparing for war.

 

"About?" I ask, not sure I understand. Everyone is working and it seems they are all getting along. It's a good thing I think that everyone is happy at the moment, everyone needs to keep there heads up. Espicecially me.

 

"Well.. the men that Lockendale are sending.. are well... men." He points out and I nod getting where he is going. We're a bunch of teenagers. The king is only 17, the military leader is 18, all of us elementals are still teenagers ranging from 16 to 18. We're young. We're running Spridge. The biggest kingdom here in this realm, is being run by a bunch of kids who still technically haven't finished highschool.

 

"Well, they will listen. They have there orders, and besides they know what we have all been through. They'll know we mean business. I wouldn't worry to much about it." I pat him on the back. He nods, and continues watching his other men. I don't know how hard it was for them all to be okay with Theo being their boss, I was... busy with other things... I guess I don't know if he had hard time or not.

 

"Did.. these guy give you a hard time?" I ask, gesturing to them.  I see Sebastien make his way through the crowd of men, and they all move and out of his way and bow to him. Apparently they took well to him, that is a good thing. After everything he and his sister have been through it is comforting knowing they still have followers and the acceptance of their people.

 

"No.. they were all okay with it actually. No one argued it, and they all had the chance to step forward and take the job instead of me." He smiles. "I guess that means they believe in me." He whispers that last part as Sebastien finally gets to us. "Your Majesty." he holds out his hand with a nice friendly smile. Sebastien smiles taking his hand. It's
