"I'm not letting you sleep on the floor, Alena. It's really not comfortable. I insist you sleep on the bed." Tristan wrapped his arms around Alena instinctively once he saw tears in her eyes. "Sh... We'll find your sister. It's okay. Those visions you're having are an advantage at least. If you keep having them perhaps it will lead us straight to her... You're so weak Alena. Here, let's sit you down." He led her into his bedroom and sat her on his bed. "There."
Alena looks up into Tristan's gentle eyes. They calmed her so easily. Her own eyes though began to slide shut in exhaustion. She curled up, "stay with me." Her voice barely above a whisper her eyes hardly staying open. "Don't leave me alone," with the last whisper her eyes shut and she fell into a dreamless sleep.
Tristan pulled the blankets up over top of her and tucked her in, then whispered, "Goodnight Princess." He watched her peacefully sleep and suddenly felt at ease. She was beautiful indeed. Exhausted he laid down on the floor, his body stiffening due to the hard floorboards. He coughed a little, glanced up at the princess, and fell asleep quickly. What a day.
Alena woke as the sun rose. She looked down seeing Tristan. She smiled and stroked his cheek lightly careful not to wake him. "Sleep well," she whispered then got up. Alena let her hair fall down her shoulders and stepped outside. Slowly, she walked walked to a patch of sun right infront of the house and lowered to her knees. She lifted her face eyes closed as the rays fell on her. It was a beautiful day, herblack curls shimmered in the sun. It was calm and relaxing. The quiet unlike the noisy bustling if the castle. She liked the quiet much better.
Tristan woke up moments later. He rubbed his eyes and sat up slowly, his back cracking in several spots out of stiffness, "Ugh my back!" He cracked his neck, stood up and stretched and almost forgot why he woke up on the floor. He looked over at his bed. Assuming she got up and left in the middle of the night he sighed out of disappointment. "Well... I don't blame her." Slowly he sauntered over to the kitchen and ate a loaf a bread for breakfast. It wasn't much but it would do. Tristan rubbed his eyes some more, fixed his hair, and decided to change into clean clothes. Meridia came bustling out of her room with her mom and clung to Tristan. Laughing he said, "Good morning little one," and handed her a piece of bread. He ruffled her hair, then picked her up, kissing her forehead.
Alena sighed a breath of peace, calm and soft. She pulled a piece of fruit and ate her eyes still closed. She didnt want to overstay her welcome. "I wish it was more like this in the palace garden, but even the quiet of the garden was loud. I hope he doesnt think ive gone, she thought. I hope he isnt mad. She turbed her face back to the sun and smiled softly at the warmth.
Tristan sighed as his mother called out for him. "Coming mother." He approached her as she coughed and wheezed, "Tristan, dear, get me a loaf of bread." He went to the kitchen and returned with a loaf for her. She thanked him and he smiled slightly."Mom I'm going to be leaving soon. I have to help the Princess search for her missing sister. I was thinking Meridia could take care of things." "Meridia is only 4, Tristan. She can't do much." "She can do more than you." "What's that supposed to mean?" The anger in his mother's voice rose. "You're sick, mom. She can help." "Fine. Do what you want. I don't care." "After all I've done for you, Mother? You're going to get mad at me for this? I won't be gone long." His mother didn't reply. She merely crossed her arms and looked away.

Alena turned toward Tristans home hearing the risen voice of his mother. The guiltiness hit her once more only harder this time. Her calmness left her she stood and ran. When she hit the palace, she called for Thomas the young messenger boy. "Tell Tristan, im leaving. I feel guilty taking him from his family. Tell him, he is the closest thing ive found to perfect." She gave the boy the address. "Tell him ill see him soon. I wish him well." A few tears fell. Alena wiped the tear and took off toward the stables. She climb in the saddle of her black horse Luna and rode off toward the south. Thomas followed the princess's instructions knocking on Tristan's door.
Tristan approached the door, thinking it was the princess, he smiled and flung the door open. There stood the messenger boy. Tristan's heart sank. Thomas told him the news. Tristan's short temper caused him to cuss. He slammed the door and stormed to get his backpack for traveling. He stormed over to his mother, his face red. "You. You caused this. Alena left apparently only moments ago because she felt guilty from taking me away from you. YOU caused this." Tristan's mothers eyes widened. She never saw him so angry. Tristan continued, "Now she is out looking for her sister ALONE. ALONE, mother! I was supposed to protect her. Help her through this. She's done so much for us, and you freaking scared her away. I don't care what goes on anymore. Fend for your self!" He gathered some more food from the kitchen as his sister Meridia began to cry. He stormed out of the house unsure of what to d next.

Alena rode on wiping at her eyes constantly. I hope Thomas gave the message, she thought. She pictured Tristans face. His eyes. Had it really only been yesterday when they met? It felt as though it had been ages ago. She felt as if shed grown up with him. She thought back ro when he called her beautiful. No, she thought, Arinia is the beautiful one. Shes older more mature. Shed be better for him. Alena looked ahead her hood on her head a change of clothes and food in her pack. She rubbed Lunas neck, "Its just you and me girl."
Thomas followed Tristan. "Sir i can give you Arinia's horse. Its the second fastest aside from Alena's. Sundara will be able to catch up to her." He made no eye contact for he was a servant.

"I want that horse ASAP." Tristan looked at Thomas sternly. "Alena could possibly in danger at this moment. I can't let that happen. You don't understand. I think... I think I love her." Tristan looked at the ground, confused. "You know, it's strange, I've only know her since yesterday but uh... Yeah, don't tell her that." Tristan laughed a bit. "Ha, so uh... That horse?
A smile spread across the 11 year olds face. "Right away sir!" The boy saddled up Sundara and brought him to Tristan. "Here sir." He looked briefly up at the man. "Sir, i could get in trouble for this, but please help the Princess'. Especially Princess Alena. His majesty would go into depression. With the queens deat-" He looked away. "Im sorry i spoke out of line."
Alena rode on refusing to stop to eat. How far south, she wondered. A sudden burst of wind made her shiver and thunder clouds rolled. She slowes Luna to a walk and sighed. She felt so alone, cold and scared.

"Spoke out of line? You should do that more often. Thanks kid." Tristan winked at the messenger boy, jumped on the saddle, flicked the reins and sped off in the distance. A trail of dust remained as the horse galloped at full speed. The horse seemed to lead Tristan to Alena. It was headed south.
A snake hissed across the path, yet it was the snake that scared Luna it was the wild cats growl. Alena froze and all was still. Then suddenly Luna reared back knocking Alena from the saddle. She hit the ground with a whimper and a shudder. Luna stayed close but remained spooked and alert. Alena was in to much pain to be afraid any more.
The horse raced faster and faster until moment later he saw something laying in the road... And a horse? He flicked the reins, the horse reared and ran faster until finally he came across the princess who was laying in the road. Tristan jumped off and helped her up. "Alena! What in the world are you doing out here all alone? We were going to go together! You can't be out her by yourself. We both know that. Not only that but you are royal blood, you should have knights or guards or-" He paused and took a deep breath. "I'm sorry Princess. I was just worried."

Alena turned into his warmth nuzzling his chest gently her skin cool. She closed her eyes and whispered, "thank you." For the fiest time since she left she felt safe. She grippes to him scared to let go. "Forgive me. I didnt want your mother upset with me. I was thinking of you." Luna trotted back and stood next to Sundara. She too felt safe with the other horse.

She moved closer into his arms and grinned. Alena was happy and safe. Suddenly the wild cats roar sounded through the trees. Luna and Sundara both began to panic uncomfortable. "Tristan..." Alena mumbled.
Tristan looked around for the sound of wild cats emitting from the trees. "Maybe we should go..." He whispered. Slowly he led Alena over to her horse, then mounted Sundara. "We're going to sprint south, as fast as these horses can go. We'll lose them in no time."
