《Out of Place》
Misplaced by Mistake!
A young woman with her amazonian like figure set well upon her toned and curvacious form. Her eyes were that of a glowing sapphire sitting on a bed of fresh snow. Her voice was both commanding and gentle that demanded the attention of all whom heard. Her sun kissed skin and the scars upon it , showed the battles one such as her has seen. The clothes she wore were thick, kevlar infused flex-leggings, a blackshirt with a grey hooded sweatshirt on top. She was the very defintion of thorned rose. Beautiful, but deadly.
The young woman ran down a muddied, tight cooridor with a child, that seemingly was a spitting image of her, in hand. Following them was an older boy, Cal Owens. He was tall and muscular with his chestnut-brown hair, messy from disuse of a comb, sitting beneath a grey hoody. His eyes were an amber-orange and he wore simple jeans and a blue t-shirt. From behind them were no more then six mages firing spell after spell, bullet after bullet. After a few moments of running they come to a fork in their path.
"Where do we go!?" The woman turns her head left and right, eyeing each path. The boy, breathless and weary points towards the right. Nodding the woman picks up her daughter, whom grasps her in a loving embrace. She sprints down the right path with fervor. The boy seeing the woman''s almost endless supply of energy, tilts his head in the air and lets out a lot of air.
"PFFFFFFF. AHHH. How the hell are you still running!" He takes in a deep breath and sprints down the path after her. The two run and run until they come upon a giant concrete wall. The woman in her anger slams her fists against the wall and starts hitting it angrily. She quickly turns to the boy and yells at him.
"I THOUGHT YOU SAID IT WAS THE RIGHT!?" The boy throws up a mana barrier infront of himself and backs against the left wall.
"I had only been down here once or twice before! Look for a switch or something!" The woman sighs and begins frantically patting the walls. A minute goes by and they can hear the voices of their followers not too far behind them. The boy sinks into the ground and begins laughing.This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.
"Ha-hahaha! Here I was hoping we''d get out of this alive!" He begins laughing harder and harder, holding onto his side. The woman pays him no attention and keeps checking the wall. The loud footsteps of the mages draw closer and closer. The boy turns to the woman and shrugs.
"You know its useless? We might as well turn around and fight them." The woman slams her fist into the concrete, creating a dent.
"I will not kill infront of my daughter! She will have none of this life!" The boy lets out a deep sigh and groan.
"Ugghh! Fine, keep looking for a fucking switch! It''s fucking hopeless!" As the steps become louder and louder they can hear the raggid breaths of their pursuers. The boy mussies his hair angrily and throws up a large barrier, blocking the cooridor. The six mages soon meet the barrier and begin taunting them.
"C''mon Cal, just drop the barrier and let it end. Quit fighting the inevitable!"
"Yeah, Cal!"
"Yeah!" Several voices are heard saying.
Sweat appearing on the boys brow he smiles.
"What can''t break through it? Gotta ask little ol'' me to drop it? Ahh, so cute!" The men grit their teeth and begin unleashing spell after spell at his barrier. Soon it begins to form cracks and Cal begins to worry.
"ANYTIME NOW, ELLIE!" At that moment green portal opens up behind them, seemingly pulling them in with great force. Ellie grabs her daughter and grabs a nearby pillar. Cal slowly begins being dragged into it.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?" Ellie holds onto her daughter with dear life.
"I DON''T KNOW! BUT IT''S BETTER THEN THIS!" She lets go of the pillar and is instantly sucked into the portal, disappearing from sight. Cal looks back towards the portal and forwards toward the group and smiles.
"Welp, it was nice playing with ya, bye losers!" He instantly drops his barrier and dives into the green portal. As soon as he enters it, it shuts behind him. Suddenly they hit the ground with a hard thump and look up from their daze. Their eyes open with amazement as what they see appears to be two brick walls on their side and sun shining at the end. Confused and in pain the three walk to the edge and see a bustling city.
"Where the hell are we?"
A little short, needs work, but it''s not bad. Tell me what you think :D! (Future chapters will be much longer, just needed to get this boring stuff out of the way.)
A new world
Both Ellie and Cal stare on in slack jawed amazement.
"Where the hell are we?" Cal begins to walk forward and is suddenly stopped by Ellie, whom grabs him by the collar, dragging him back into the alley.
"You can''t just wander out into the open like that! What if you were spotted?" Cal takes a deep breath and removes Ellie''s hand from his hoodie.
"We''re fine! There''s not a city like this anywhere close to where we were! Wherever that portal took us, it wasn''t to anywhere we know." Podering the situation, Ellie comforts her freightened daughter by rubbing her back.
"We need to get somewhere safe. Somewhere away from here. Who knows if that portal could open back up?" Cal nods his head.
"Then we need to move out from this alley and find out what city were in. Then I can contact a few friends that will probably help us." Ellie gives Cal a sharp, pointed look.
"Probably help us?" Cal shrugs.
"We attacked our coven and fled. Our list of friends is limited and maybe some humans don''t want to get caught up with a Nephilim, her child and a rogue witch?" Ellie takes in a deep breath and sighs.
"Ughh, alright, alright, take Sarah and turn around." Cal grabs Sarah from Ellie and looks at Ellie.
"What are you doing?" Ellie begins to slowly undress then rotates her finger in the air.
"TURN AROUND." Cal rolls his eyes and turns around. "I''m going to use my stealth magic and gather information. There''s no way in hell i''m going to let you see me naked." Cal scoffs.
"I''ve seen like half of the Nephilim naked! Ya''ll an''t a very discreet bunch of women!" Ellie reaches out and smacks Cal in the back of the head as he begins to turn around. Cal winces and begins rubbing the same spot.
"Jeeze alright, alright! I won''t freaking look!" A minute passes and Sarah begins to stir.
"She''s going to wake up any minute now and i''ll have to deal with a pissed off little Nephilim." A loud thump behind Cal, startles him and he quickly turns around. Focusing his sight he can see a slight shimmer in the alley.
"How do I look?" Ellie says with a playful tone. Cal whistles and winks in her general direction.
"Well besides for a little shimmer, I might as well be looking at nothing." Ellie crosses her arms and examines herself.
"Yeah, the suit works better with the glyphs, but I don''t have a suit. Anyways, she''ll wake up in about an hour. Hopefully i''ll be back before then. If not find a discreet place to hide and -" Cal waves his hand infront of his face and rolls his eyes.
"Yeah, yeah. I know, I know. Put down a sigil and you''ll find me." Ellie laughs and as she runs by Cal, she mussies his hair.
"Good boy." Quickly bounding out from the alley, Ellie begins to scan the city streets and the people about.
"Hmm, things seem different." Eyeing about she can see that some people have what looks like magical etches on their hands, legs or arms of varying designs ranging from a magic symbol to animals.If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
"Why the hell would someone get that done deliberately?" Stopping quickly a car flies by infront of her and she takes in a breath.
"Whew that was close!" Looking around she can see no indicators of what cities she''s in.
"None of these buildings, the markings or the signs seem vaguely familiar. Where the hell are we?" Seeing a library in the distance Ellie breaks into a sprint and discreetly pops inside, heading towards a computer. Looking around she can see almost no one.
"Thank god for phones and laptops." Quickly typing into the computer she sees that it requires an ID and password.
"Shit!" Looking around again, she sees an older woman browsing the romance section. Walking over to her, Ellie quickly casts a small locator spell that finds the I.D. card and pickpockets the older woman. Examining the card she heads back to the computer and types in the woman''s information. Quickly opening up the internet she can immediately tell some things are off. Brushing it off she types in a few things and is lost and amazed at what she''s found.
"We''re not on Earth anymore or atleast not OUR Earth." Thinking of something, she quickly looks online for a map and is even more shocked at what she''s found. Shaking her head to get her out of the daze, she notices the old woman heading towards the counter. Quickly logging off she repockets the old woman''s card and heads outside. Deciding her only course of action is to find Cal and tell him everything she''s learned, she sprints back to the alley and scans for Cal''s sign. Quickly whispering a few words and breathing into her hand, it begins to faintly glow. She slowly walks about the alley and finds an arrow that says "red building". Nodding her head, she suddenly feels a powerful magical presence coming closer to her position.
"Fuck!" Looking at the magic writing, Ellie quickly erases it and tries to cover up any magical traces of her, Cal and her child. Happy with her quick work, she bounds up the alley''s walls and peers from the rooftops. From the distance she can hear a car come to a abrupt stop and three sets of feet quickly heading for the alley. Not a minute later and the three people seem to draw weapons and point them down the alley. Quickly summing them up, Ellie can see that the tallest man is the presence she can feel.
"He''s masking his power, but not well." The taller man is a man with dark-brown hair and green eyes, with a bit of stubble growing on his face. He was barrel chested, with seemingly strong arms, all well hidden beneath a large leather coat.He gave off the feeling of a rugged, hard working soldier. He seemed to be hiding something. What was a man like him doing in a place like this?
The tall man pulls out some sort of device from his pocket and flicks it on. It seems to let off this loud beep the closer they draw to where the portal had dropped the three of them. The large man pulls out a phone and seems to call someone.
"Yes, Proffesor the device seemed to have worked. Doesn''t look like anything or anyone crossed over. You bet your ass we got lucky! No, theres no signs of any magic around the portal. What do you mean there should be?" A bead of sweat appears on Ellie''s brow and hits the rooftop.
"Shit, shit , shit! I shouldn''t have been that proificent with deleting our presence!" Contemplating what to do, Ellie leans back over the side and listens more closely. The large man seems to hang up his phone and walks over to the other two people.
"Proffesor says something made it through." One of the men rubs his neck and looks up to the sky and sighs.
"Ughh. And how does he know that?" The large man shrugs.
"He says there should be a massive outcropping of mana that reaches beyond the ends of the alley, but it appears to only be near where the portal is suppose to be. That plus the fact that the portal isn''t currently here, means that something came through." One of the men puts his hands on his hips.
"Couldn''t that also mean that something went through?" Again, the large man shrugs.
"Ask him?" The three men laugh and begin to walk out of the alley. Feeling something the large man turns around and looks up as if looking directly at Ellie. Immediately her heart stops and she meets eyes with the man. Time seems to slow down and what feels like years pass in moments, one of the men breaks the silence.
"Garett, you coming?" The large man shakes his head and rubs his temples.
"Yeah, just felt something is all." The three men get in the car and take off. Ellie waits a few moments, to be sure that they''re gone and jumps down from the roof.
"Alright, time to find Cal."
Home
The three men from before arrive back at the Proffesor''s lab and head straight to him. Down hallway after hallway, staircase after staircase, they eventually meet a giant vault door with a camera pointed toward them. Garrett waves to it and shows the camera his I.D.
"Hello! Proffesor were back!" The giant door lets out a loud hiss and slowly creaks open. On the otherside is an elderly man with a large snow-white beard, sporting a large blue lab coat and a pair of white scrubs. The men step in the large room filled with a lot of scientific and magical equipment. The overly excited proffesor eagerly walks up to the men with an odd device in his hands.
"What did you find?" Garret takes out the device from before and hands it to the Proffesor. He claps his hands and walks over to a large machine and inserts the device. A large map of the city appears with many different colored blots and blobs. Many numbers flash on the screen and the proffesor stares at the screen expectingly. A few loud beeps later and the Proffesor pulls out a small device that looks like a phone.
"Yes, yes! It seems something or someone has made it through!" The two men with Garret throw their hands in the air, waving off the Proffesor.
"Alright were done! Cya Garret, good luck with this lunatic!" Garret gives them a fake smile and sits down in a chair. As the two men leave, Garret addresses the Proffesor.
"Alright, what''d YOU find?" His voice jumps up, emphasizing the you in his sentence. The Proffesor throws the phone-like device to Garret and he catches it. He taps the device and it shines to life. Not sure of what he''s looking at he rubs his eyes and goes back to rexamining it, confused.
"What am I looking at here Proffesor?" The Proffesor pulls up a little ball and throws it in the air. A disco ball-like effect covers the room and he points at different colors.
"The brightest spots are the most powerful mages in the city and where they currently are." He runs over to a spot on the map and points to a glowing red orb. "Thats you. Quite powerful indeed young prince." The Prince stands up and examines the map with intrique.
"What does this all mean?" The Proffesor claps his hands and points to near the portal.
"No,no,no that''s toooooo easy." The Proffesor seems to dance around and grabs Garret, whom is smiling at this point. The two do a small dance and The Proffesor motions to the entire map.
"You tell me! Where on this map is the rose amongs thorns? The sun amonst stars?" Garret looks at the map carefully and eventually sets on a large blob that is pulsating white. He points to it and the Proffesor begins clapping.
"Good! Goood! Now, do you know what that spot means?" Garret shakes his head. "These blots and blobs come in 10 colors. From weakest to strongest its: grey, brown, black, purple, yellow, green. blue, orange, red and silver. Tell me where on that scale is white?" Garret shakes his head again.Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.
"No where?" The Proffesor vigorously claps again.
"Exactly! White was the same color as the portal, which means?" Garret''s eyes widen and he crosses his arms.
"Which means someone came through the portal!"
"YES! YES! I can''t map them in real time, but I can tell where they''ve been. They seem to be able completely mask their magic, which is just unfair! It''s cheating!" Garret raises an eyebrow to the Proffesor.
"Hide their magic? What? How?" The Proffesor throws his hands in the air.
"I DON''T KNOW! Isn''t it fascinating?" Garret begins pondering a few things then comes up with an idea.
"But, can you track negative mana levels? Someone that powerful has to use up a lot of mana." The Proffesor smiles and shakes his head.
"Nope! Already tried that. Whoever they are, they seem to have some sort of high-natural mana regeneration that isn''t dependant on the environment like the rest of us." Garret tilts his head back and stares at the glowing white spot.
"Who are you?"
Following the signs Cal had left behind, Ellie eventually finds the room the two are hiding in. Knocking gentley she slowly opens the door and sees Cal pointing a metal rod in her direction. Ellie smiles and crosses her arms.
"My my, aren''t you full of surprises? Now pute that little thing away," Cal lets out a deep sigh and lowers the metal rod.
"Jesus Christ woman. Scared the hell out of me."
"Good, keeps you on your feet. Anyways did you grab my clothes from the alley?" Cal nods and fetches a small bag and tosses it to the door way. A few minutes later, now fully dressed Ellie uncloaks and rubs her arms.
"Oooh, it was starting to get chilly." Sarah soon runs out from a room and hugs her moms legs.
"Mommy!" Ellie smiles and picks up her daughter.
"Mommy''s okay." She puts her forhead on her daughters and the two giggle. Cal smiles and shakes his head.
"Alright, so what''d you find out?" Ellie''s smile fades and she takes on a more serious tone.
"Were not on Earth anymore or atleast OUR Earth anymore." Cal squints his eyes and crosses his arms.
"What do you mean?" Ellie shrugs and tickles her daughter, whom giggles.
"According to what I could look up in a short time, the date is 05/27/2019. That''s 5 years later then our time. Also, the city we are currently in is New York. There''s also this strange presence that i''m sure you can feel as well." Cal nods to this.
"That''s mana or atleast a mana rich environment. On our Earth the mana was there, but it was much less potent. Here it''s like it''s in the very atoms of the planet." Cal leans against the wall and closes his eyes. A small bluish aura seems to surround him.
"You''re not wrong, but what do we do about it? If this isn''t our planet, what does that mean for us?" Ellie frowns.
"I don''t know? Do we stay here? Do we look for a way back?" Cal slams his fists into the wall.
"NO! I got you two out! There is no way i''m letting you go back!" Ellie smiles and walks over to Cal, forcing him into a hug with the two of them. Cal smiles and embraces them.
"Alright, so I guess we make our life here then, but where do we start?" Cal moves from the hug and looks out a nearby window.
"Well were going to need documents that say were from here, for that we''ll probably need money, but before all of that we''re going to need a place to call home." Ellie scratches the side of her head and sighs.
"Pfffffh, I''m not sure what I can do to earn us money? I mean unless they have mercenaries or some sort of military, i''m pretty sure I''m lost." Cal shakes his head.
"We need to lay low for awhile, so no governmental type things. There''s a diner nearby, see if you can''t get a job there and i''ll worry about the housing situation." Ellie nods and puts down Sarah.
"Alright it''s settled. We''ll call this new world home."
One hell of a big brother.
A month later.
"Alright you two, off to bed! Your mother needs some sleep. Two ebony-haired children a young boy and a young girl, giggle and run off to their room. A loud slam and Garret nods. Turning to the bed he can see his smiling wife looking playfully at him. He crosses his arms and smiles at her.
"What?" The woman smiles and pats the empty half the bed she''s laying on. Rolling his eyes, Garret walks over and sits on the edge. Trying to stand up, the woman winces in pain.
"Don''t push yourself! The doctor said you need to rest until your blood pressure has dropped." Garret quickly gets up and helps his wife. She smiles and kisses him on the cheek.
"You worry too much. I''ve been through this already and last time there was two of them! I think i''m fine!" Garret smiles and leans in for a passionate kiss with his wife.
"God I love you, Ellie."
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!!!!!!
Garret shoots awake, sweating a river and breathing heavily. He tries to stand and tumbles to the floor. Dazed and confused he grasps at the edge of his bed as the door flings open. A taller women with cherry-red hair, porclein skin, amber eyes and a drop-dead gorgeous physique runs to Garrets aide. Followed by a younger looking version of the tall woman and a young boy.
"Honey are you okay?" The woman helps Garret onto the bed. The younger woman immediately breaks into a healing spell and chanting magical words.
"Yes mother, i''m fine. It was just a vision." The older woman sits on the bed next to her son. She whispers some words into her hands and they begin to glow purple.
"Show me what you saw." Garret nods and touches his mothers hands. Instantly the woman''s eyes cloud over with a purple magic and a few moments later she comes out of the trance, smiling.
"Oh you had me worried! My future daughter-in law even has a name now and a face!" Garret smiles weakly. The younger girl lets out a breath.
"He''s fine now. These visions are getting worse ever since you went on that stupid mission for the Proffesor! The mana in the room is all-bleh!" The woman shivers. Garret gives her a fake smile.
"Calm down Gabby! I''ve looked everywhere for her. Even the Proffesor tried helping me." He slams his head back into the pillow and closes his eyes, picturing her face.
"FUCK! She feels so close, but yes she could be ANYWHERE!" The Queen smiles.
"Love is a powerful tool. Use it to find your way to her and things will work out in the end. You''ve seen how it ends, just be pacient. Though I am excited for grand-children!" She gives her daughter a smile. Gabriel roles her eyes.
"Not until me and Pheran are married!" The Queen smiles and pokes her daughters nose.
"With how much I hear you two going at it, it could be anytime now!" Gabriel rolls her eyes and leaves the room. The young boy sits on the end of the bed and tilts his head at the Queen.
"Am I going to be an uncle?" Garret face palms and laughs.
"Ha-ha-ha! No, no little brother. Quite aways yet, I think." The Queen winks to her son and sonders off. In a sing song voice she says back.
"You never know!" Garret rolls his eyes and grabs his little brother, wrestling with him. After a few moments he lets go and laughs.
"Alright, you win! I give!" The little boy, satsified pounds his chest.
"Garren is always the winner!" Garret looks at his clock and smiles.
"Garren will be late for school if he doesn''t hurry his little butt!" Garren''s eyes fly wide open and he sprints out of Garret''s room and into his own. Garret laughs and decides to get up and get ready for the day.
Twenty minutes later, the family sits at breakfest. The Queen, now in a blue, womens buisness attire quickly enters the dining room, grabs a small protein bar and heads for the door, stopping short.
"Oh, Garret I need you to bring your little brother to school today! I''m running a bit late with my meeting with the council." Garret with a mouth full, yells out.
"That''s fine!" They hear the door shut and their mother take off in a car. Garret looks to Garren and smiles.This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
"You get to ride with me today bud!" Garrens eyes widen and he smiles.
"Can we take the bike!?" Garret laughs.
"Ha-ha! I like your taste! Of course, my dear prince!" He does a court little bow and Garren rolls his eyes.
"Your a prince too! You don''t have to bow!" Garret smiles, stands and heads for the door, opening it.
"After you, little prince." Garren glares at him and bolts out the door.
BEEP BEEP BEEP!!!!!
Ellie slams the the quite button on her alarm and begins getting dressed for the day. Throwing on her black work pants, black t-shirt, bullet proof vest, leather jacket and combat boots, she opens her door and is greeted by a smiling Sarah.
"Morning, Mommy!" Ellie smiles and kisses her daughter.
"Morning sweety." Ellie looks about the apartment and back to her daughter.
"Where''d Cal go?" Ellie hops up and down.
"He went to school already! He was super-duper excited." Ellie brushes her hair out of her face and smiles.
"Well, did he atleast give you some breakfest before he left?" Sarah nods and gives Ellie a toothy smile.
"Mhmmm!" Ellie picks up her daughter and begins spinning her around, Sarah just giggles and screams. Ending the spin she embraces her in a hug and plops her on the ground, holding out her hand. Sarah quickly grabs it and the two leave the apartment, locking the door behind them. Quickly bounding out the door, Ellie quickly says her hellos to the land-lord, whom lives right bellow them.
"Ahh hello ladies, rambucious this morning are we?" Sarah giggles and heads to the car. Ellie walks over to the landlord and shakes his hand.
"Yes, sorry about the noise Daryl. She''s quite anxious today for some reason." Ellie shrugs and smiles. Daryl laughs.
"Ha-ha! Not a problem, Laura! This old house needs a little bit of life in it. Don''t you worry about no noise! Now off to work with ya! I gotta clean up the lawn a bit." Ellie nods to him and hops in the car. The drive to Sarah''s school isn''t but ten minutes away and that''s with hitting all reds at the stop lights. Pulling up infront, behind the buses children seem to pour out and run around the schoolyard. Ellie gets out and holds her daughters hand. Seeing a friend, Sarah gives her mom a goodbye hug and runs off. A wierd tingle shoots up Ellie''s spine and she tenses up.
"Somethings off." Scanning the schoolyard she can see nothing out of the ordinary. Shrugging it off, she turns around and runs face first into another person, knocking them both over. Rubbing her head, she smiles and pats herself off.
"Oh crap! I''m so sorry mam! I wasn''t looking where I was going and I just walked right into you." The man gets up and helps the woman up. When he sees her face, his heart begins to beat vigorously and his mouth dries up. Ellie grabs the hand and lifts herself up.
"Not a problem. Just be more careful." She looks at the man and smiles.
"The man from the alley." She holds out her hand and smiles.
"Laura, Laura Carter." Stunned by the visage of the woman before him. Garret still a bit dazed shakes her hand.
"Holy shit! It''s her! But, Laura? That''s not the name from my vision? A fake name maybe? Oh shit she''s staring!"
"Uhh-umm-uhh." Ellie tilts an eyebrow to him.
"Uhh-umm-uhh? That''s a rediculous name." Garret smiles and rubs his head.
"Sorry, Garret! Garret Duran is my name." Ellie smiles and a confused expressions appears on her face.
"Your name sounds...familiar? I know i''ve heard it before." Garret laughs and puffs out his chest. Garret examines her face and body.
"It''s gotta be her! She looks EXACTLY the same. Why is she wearing a bullet proof vest?" He coughs into his hand and bows to Ellie.
"Prince Garret Duran." Ellie smiles and snaps her fingers.
"That''s it! Your the Eldest prince of North America! Ha! What''s a Prince doing at an elementery school?" Garret rubs his head nervously.
"I was dropping my little brother off. My mother got caught up in a meeting and asked me to do it." Ellie puts a finger on her chin and ponders something.
"You must be Garrens brother then, right?" Garret nods.
"Yeah, he was super excited to get to school today, practically couldn''t stand still." Ellie laughs.
"Yeah, my daughter couldn''t either." After Ellie says daughter, Garret shoots into his own world for a moment.
"Holy shit! She has a daughter. I''m not ready to be a dad yet! Deep breathes man, deeeeep breathes." Garret takes in a deep breath.
"So, uhh who''s your daughter?" Ellie smiles and points into a crowd of children to Sarah.
"That''s her. Lilly is her name."
"HOLY CRAP THE CHILD LOOKS JUST LIKE HER! Visions why couldn''t you show me stuff like this! God damned visions are bullshit!"
"She-uhh, she looks an incredibly amount like you!" Ellie smiles.
"Yeah, i''ve got the dominant genes in the family. Thank god she doesn''t look like her father." Garrets eyes widen almost like an owls.
"HOW DIDN''T WE THINK OF THIS!? Your future wife might be married and some other guy could be keeping her safe and warm and...and" Garret''s thoughts wander away from him and he begins to get angry. Ellie seeing the magic around Garret begin to spark to life, places a hand on his shoulder, which snaps him of his anger.
"Are you okay?" Garret shakes his head and smiles.
"Yes, sorry. Got lost in thought for a moment. Anyways, I was thinking..." Ellie raises an eyebrow to him and pops her hip out, crossing her arms. Garret smiles and continues.
"I was thinking, that you might want to get a coffee?" Ellie giggles into her hand.
"Ha-haha! Oh my god that is cute. Sorry to disapoint dear Prince, but I have to get to my job. Better luck next time." Ellie continues laughing to herself and turns to her car.
"You idiot! That was too quick! Oh, shit she''s getting away!" He looks up and runs after her, stopping short of her car door.
"Then what about tomorrow? Or friday?" Ellie sits down and shuts her door.
"Sorry, but no. My life''s too complicated and I don''t need a Prince coming in and making it worse." Dejected, the Prince inwardily hits himself.
"It''s not another guy is it?" Ellie smiles, starts her car.
"That is none of your concern. Now, It was nice meeting you, hopefully we don''t meet again." She pulls back and drives away. Seeing her drive away he kicks himself inwardly.
"Won''t meet again my ass. Time for me to become one hell of a big brother."
