A peaceful night

Martin then showed her all of his favorite places and he even took her to his secret spot behind a huge waterfall, it had a garden there that no one except him and now the girl knew of.

It even had a lake along with a huge blossom tree in the middle, she laughed and played with the petals as they fall.

He looked at her and smiled "enjoy it while it lasts" he said to himself.

"What's wrong?" she asked,

"Nothing" he replied as he sat down.

The girl sat with him "are you okay?" she asked as his horns appeared.

"Your horns they got a little bit bigger" she said,

'Yeah i know, it's because my powers are growing and as a dragon i will get bigger, it will be hard for me to transform without being seen, so i come here" he replied,

"Oh well it's seems safe, sorry i like being careful" she said,

He laughed "i know and that is a good thing" he replied and she patted him on the head.

He smiled "what do you consider me as in your life?" he asked,

A shiver ran up her spine and she got nervous "why do you ask?" she asked,

"Just curious" he responded,

"Well uh.. you are my friend so.." she said,

"Yeah friends, well as a friend i am suggesting you go home" he replied,

"Why?" she asked,

"Charlotte you see the way my father looks at you and trust me that is not good, just go home for your own sake" he said,

"I came here on my own free will and i am not leaving you here with that monster" she replied as she folded her cuffs in anger and he saw.

"I admire you a lot, but it's good to put yourself before others sometimes" he said,

"I am not like that, if i am right i will put myself first but not when i know something is wrong" she replied,

He sighed "you are stubborn, that one trait you have from your mom" he said,

She laughed "i know and i am glad" she replied,

"Well seems like i cannot change your mind" he said then laid back and placed his head on her lap.

"If you touch me without my permission, i will break your horn" she said,

"Don't worry i won't" he replied with a smirk.

A little while later he slept away on her lap, the girl looked at him and smiled, she then passed her hand on his head.

"If i can only tell you how i really feel, hmph i guess we were never meant to be, law of the universe and destiny crap always gets in the way" she said to herself.

A little while after the boy woke up only to find her fast asleep against the tree.

He smiled then pulled her hair behind her ear, she the grabbed on to his hand and he jumped.

"Sorry i sleep with caution" she said,

"It's fine" he replied laughing,

"Sleeping with caution is a really good thing, Charlotte can i ask you something?" he asked,

"Yes go ahead" she responded.

"The reason you came here is not only because you wanted to accompany is it?" he asked,

"You are right, i cam for another reason too but unfortunately i..." she said,

"It's fine you do not have to tell me, trust me it's better if i don't know and i am glad you told me too" he replied,

"Okay now are we going to stay here for the entire night too?" she asked,

"I won't mind to get a night off from being around those scumbags" he responded,

"I won't mind either, what's the deal with that girl anyway?" she asked,

"She and i were friends when we were kids, once her father tried to persuade me to marry her bt i refused, one thing is for sure she has some kind of plan by coming here and i bet it ain't good" he responded,

"She was so nice to me though" she said,

"There is this saying 'easy snakes bite hot' that is her" he replied,

'Ah i see thanks for warning me" she said,

"Yeah they are not to be trusted, right now everyone in that castle has to be treated as an enemy, oh and please be on your guard at all time" he replied,

"I will" she said as she laid back on the soft grass and stared at the night sky.

"You sure you want to stay here with me tonight?" he asked,

"Yes i am not leaving no matter what" she responded.

"Well here" he said as he passed her two baskets one with food and the other with clothing,

The girl laughed and sighed at the same time.

"You came prepared, nice" she said,

'Sorry" he replied,

"It's fine" she said as sliced a piece of pie and gave it to him.

Since she was hungry, the princess ate too while his father was waiting for them back at the castle.

'Where are they?" the king asked,

"Seems like they won't be coming, they sent a letter saying they are going to spend the night out" the girl replied,

"Whatever, he can be so stubborn, leave" the king said and Anastacia left smiling wickedly,

"I sear if i get my hand on that sword Excalibur no one will be able to face me, not even that bratty princess, i will get rid of her, no matter what the cause" he said to himself as he drank a glass of wine.

While Charlotte and the prince were enjoying their peaceful night. \

After the girl finished eating, she went and took a dip in the lake with her clothing on while Martin stared.

When she finished, the girl went behind the blossom tree and changed into a night gown while he went and took a bath.

Since he was doing that she placed a blanket on the ground and set it up for them to sleep on and as shameless as he was he came out of the water butt naked, upon seeing him, the girl closed her eyes and threw the towel at him.

"Shameless" she said as he wrapped up them changed into his clothing.

'You can look i am finish" he said,

"Okay" she replied as she opened her eyes and he laughed.

They guy then came and lay down on the blanket.

"Come on" he said.

The girl then lay beside him, they chatted for a while then both of them slept away with their arms around each other.
