“Seaford?” lisa repeated the strange name confused. “Why are we going there?”
Nela and Indi shrugged. “Prince phillip has ordered it.” Nela stated. “So you better get sorted. We’ve got orders to have you at the stables within the hour.”
Lisa scowled. But she also felt confused. It had felt like they were past this, that after everything that had happened, she and Prince phillip were somehow friends or at least not enemies anymore. And yet it seemed suddenly he was back to his old tricks from right at the start, ordering her around and expecting her to simply jump at every moment.

Back in Montefore lisa focussed even harder on her training with Nela and even harder on her lessons with James. It felt like she suddenly had a reason for it all and it felt good to focus on something. Her Magic was really starting to grow and she felt more powerful with each lesson but it also felt like her control was all over the place. Every time she thought she was getting better there’d be an incident, an accident, which would show to her that she needed to work harder, focus more, get better.“Stop yawning. You’re not going to convince anyone you’re a threat if you look half asleep...” Nela said.“Sorry. James’s been a slave driver this week.” lisa replied resuming her stance.“And I’m not?” Nela asked

Lisa was walking back from another frustrating lesson with James when suddenly the whole building around her rumbled. She turned panicking to look at Nela who grabbed her and they both rushed into curve of a stone doorway bracing themselves. The sound of bells ringing like alarms echoed around them.“What the hell is that?” lisa hissed.“Witches.” Nela replied through the noise and lisa’s jaw dropped.“Are you serious?” Lisa said.“It happens every so often. Their testing our defences. Trying to see if they can find any weaknesses.”“And are there any?” lisa asked thinking back to what

Lisa and Nela walked into the room and Mira and Indi practically jumped on them as they celebrated.“Calm down.” Nela said flattening her shirt back down. “Anyone would think we’d won this war.”“After what lisa just did it feels like we have.” Indi said.“We should celebrate.” Mira said.“It was just one Spectral.” Lisa replied.“So? That’s one less terrorising the world.” Mira said back. Lisa looked at her, she’d not seen her this happy in ages. She looked at Indi and Nela.“What do you think?” S

They walked up unfamiliar corridors, lisa letting phillip lead her while her mind raced. Was this actually happening, she thought? After everything she’d told herself, after all she’d convinced herself that he only saw her as a thing to be used, suddenly here she was, with her hand in his. She just couldn’t quite believe it.He stopped down the end of a long corridor and when he opened the door she realised he’d taken her to his rooms.“Oh.” She said as she walked in. Phillip let go of her hand and turned immediately to face her.“I can take you back to your room if you’d like.” He said.“No, that’s not it.” phillip said with a sligh

When lisa shifted, phillip released his hold on her. She sunk into the bed beside him, his arm now wrapped around her. He kissed the top of her head and she sighed deeply into his chest.“Someone sounds content.” phillip said.Phillip laughed and blushed. “Are you?”“How could I not be?” He replied and he kissed her lightly on her lips.“So what now?” She asked feeling suddenly nervous.“Now we sleep. You’ve worn me out Little Fate.” He teased rolling over to face her fully and placing his other arm across her waist.“Min

Lisa woke and for a moment she thought it was all a dream. That somehow she was in her own bed and that she’d imagined the whole thing. She opened her eyes and rolled over but phillip wasn’t there. Suddenly she sat up.“I’m here.” He said walking into the room and suddenly the panic inside her subsided.“I thought…” lisa mumbled but she trailed off not wanting to admit it.“That I’d left you alone…”She nodded feeling embarrassed by her thoughts.“Not willingly.” He replied. “But I do have to leave you. I’ve been summoned to a Council Meeting.” He said.
