"Your brother!?" Alexis looked at Oramis, surprised. "You never mentioned you had a brother."

"I never needed to bring it up." Oramis shrugged it off, directing his attention to Hannah and took the letter she was holding out. As he read it, he started to frown.

"What ball are you talking about?" Alexis looked at Hannah. "Is it really so important that he had to come?"

"It's the ball of Angels and Elves. That's the one, isn't it?" Tristen spoke up, crossing his arms.

"Yes, it is." Hannah looked at Oramis. "Oxlicon said that you were disgracing the family for not going..."

There was an uncomfortable silence surrounding them. Oramis crumbled up the paper and stuffed it in his pocket. "I am not going to my brother's. I am very busy right now and I have no time to deal with his constant bickering."

"But you have to! Oxlicon said that I won't be allowed to come back unless I had you with me." Hannah tugged on Oramis' arm.

A grin spread across Alexis' face. "Then I guess you'll just have to come with us. I am sure it wouldn't hurt to have one more member." Hannah looked at her surprised. 'Plus, it would be so cool to have a neko with us! Her ears are so soft~' Alexis thought to herself.

"Don't go around and start letting random people join us. We know nothing about his girl." Oramis scolded, annoyed at the young girl.

"Now now Oramis, don't be so rude. This poor girl has nowhere else to go. It would be so rude to send her off on her own with nowhere to go." Tristen set his hands on Hannah's shoulders, smirking at the elf. Alexis lightly pulled Hannah away from the flirt with a slight glare, which caused him to raise a suspicious eyebrow.

"She will come with us, at least until we can find a place for her to stay." She turned her attention back to the elf and the feeling of authority surrounded her. "That is final." He, in return, looked at the girl with cold eyes.

"Fine." He muttered, walking towards the horses.

"Thank you." Hannah hugged Alexis, happy that she helped the neko out. Alexis returned the hug and let go after a few seconds. She was caught off guard though, by the question that Hannah asked soon afterward. "Why are you with a fallen angel?"

"I-I ugh, I'm having him show me to my father...." 'Wait, if Oramis knows where Tristen is talking about, then why not just follow Oramis.' Alexis thought. 'You can't trust him.' Tristen's words rang through Alexis' head. "Let's not talk about that though... I'll be back. If Oramis asks, tell him I went to take a breather." Alexis started walking away, ignoring Hannah's questions.

It took a few minutes but Alexis found a nice quiet place to relax. She looked around to see nothing but trees and small animals, either running through the trees or on the ground. Her thoughts led her back to the questions that she has been asking herself a lot lately though. 'Who can I trust? Is there anyone?' Hearing a cracking noise behind her, Alexis turned around quickly only to look into blue eyes. "What are you doing here Tristen?" She sounded annoyed as she spoke.

"How mean. I only came to spend time with you~."

"I want to be alone. If you still haven't figured it out, I don't like you a whole lot." Alexis glared at the blonde before turning away.

"But you know you can trust me." He turned her around to face him.

"Can I? I have been told that for a long time but it always turns out to be false. Yes, you have saved me twice now but you still killed my fa-"

"Will you drop that!? I am really starting to get sick of it. I told you, I was protecting you!"

"But why!? Because you want the power?" He didn't dare speak. "How can I trust someone like you? Give me one good reason." Tears started to roll down her cheeks. She tried looking away but he grabbed her chin, making her look at him.

"That's not it..." He whispered.

"Then what?" She was mad, but for some reason, she didn't want to be. Her eyes widened as he started to lean in. She couldn't move nor say anything.

"You wouldn't believe me." He closed the gap between the both of them. She didn't pull away, much to her own confusion. She didn't want to but why she had no clue. Soon, she melted into the kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck. 'I'm such a horrible person.' She thought to herself.
