Is it True Love by Andrea Diaz (i read books .txt) 📕

"Good morning boys."

They all turned around and smiled towards me.

"Good morning princess."

Logan stepped towards me, "We shall depart when Prince Damien arrives."

"Of course."

Just as I agreed Damien appeared out of the woods and headed to us. He slowed down his horse before jumping off. As he walked towards us he handed his horse to a man.

"All ready to go?"

"Of course."

We got onto the carriage then left. After sometime we finally reached the border. Logan stops and I turn to look at Damien.

"Did you bring a jacket?"

He was just wearing a black short sleeved shirt.

"Please, I doubt it's that cold. It doesn't feel too bad from here."

Since we were at the border the temperature had lowered. I smile and shake my head.

"Prince Damien, we have barely reached the border, once we pass the woods & reach the town it is usually snowing. Feeling the weather you have grown-up in myself, I know the weather will be a little too much at first."

"The heat didn't seem to bother any of you."

Mason turned to look at us from the front.

"Actually, the heat was killing us. Trust me if you were to attack us on your land, we would be too weak to fight."

I looked at him with sincerity,"That's kind of another reason we wanted to come back."

"Well I will take my chances. Besides I can create my own heat if I need it."

I shook my head and smiled.

"Fine, let's get going Logan.

We continued on our way and I took out my ballet slippers. Damien smiled as he saw me put them on.

"Are you going to show me how to dance?"

I look at him and smile,"Yes."

His smile faded and he looked at me surprised and in fear.

"Don't worry you will enjoy it."

I smiled then finished putting on my slippers. We got to town and felt the cold I have missed.

"How are you all able to live in this weather?"

"How funny, we thought the same thing about your people." Logan quickly told him with a smile before returning his attention to the road.

I smiled as we approached our destination.

"We're here."

The carriage stopped and I quickly got out before any of the boys could open the door for me.

Damien stepped out and instantly created two fires in the palms of his hands. I stared at the fire as I couldn't take my eyes off it.

"Is something wrong Princess?"

I quickly looked up at Damien.

"You can actually create fire."

"Yeah not many can, but usually born royals can"

"But the fire. I've never seen fire as red as yours."

He smiled as I stayed staring in awe.

"Uhm, yeah. I guess I'm just a little different, kind of like you."

"Like me?"

He smiled at my confusion,"Your eyes. I've never seen eyes like yours."

I smiled then turned. He put out his fire then walked over to me as we looked at a beautiful clear lake.

"I thought you said you were going to show me how to dance?"

"I am." I turn and look at him,"I'm going to show you how do dance on ice."

He looked at the lake then back at me,"On what ice?"

I smiled then walked over to the water. I kneeled down and gently tapped the water with my right hand. As I tapped it the water became ice. Soon the whole lake was our own ice rink.

"Wow."

"Shall we." I pointed towards the ice but he questionably looked at me.

"We don't have any ice-skates."

I shook my head as I pulled him over to the lake.

Damien's P.O.V

She pulled me over to the lake. As we stepped onto the ice she created ice skates on both of our shoes.

I never knew how amazing her abilities could be. I just figured it would involve moving around some water. The things she has shown me so far today have been amazing.

She pulled me out onto the ice slowly pulling me towards the center.

"Don't worry you can trust me."

She smiled and she made it seem as if I could trust her. I relaxed and began to move around the ice. She let go of my hand and I stood there as I watched her gracefully skate around.

"Come on, its not that hard."

I smiled then slowly attempted to move. I gradually moved closer to her. Just as I believed I was doing good I fell backwards.

She laughed and I couldn't resist the smile that her laugh brought to me. I have never met a girl as amazing as Isabel.

"Don't worry you will get use to it. Here, let me help you."

We both smiled as she stretched her hand out for me. When I grab her hand I quickly look up at her in shock. She looks back at me confused.

"Is something wrong?"

"Your hand. It feels really warm."

I stood up and she quickly glanced at her hand.

"I guess you have been spending too much time in Kaf̱tó."

She slightly smiled then looked away.

"Yeah, I guess I have."

As we ate I looked towards a few of the people glaring. When I looked at them, they turned and looked away.

"Don't pay any attention to them. They need some time to realize we aren't enemies anymore."

"But we aren't exactly friends either."

She reaches across the table and grabs my hand.

"Maybe not right now but in time we will."

As people pass by they would bow and greet Isabel, their princess. I enjoyed seeing how much her people seemed to love her. They make it seem as if they have never seen her. She looks over at me and smiles.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"They really love you. They make it seem as if they have not seen you in years."

Her smile slightly fell and so did her gaze.

"Well maybe because they haven't."

"What?" She looks up and smiles at my confusion.

"Well... ever since the day I touched the sacred tree, I had been locked away in the castle. My father did not allow me outside the castle for any reason."

"Why?"

"In fear I would get harmed."

"But that would mean you were stuck in there for about eleven years."

"Yeah, it got boring at times. But I did have boys to entertain me."

"So they stayed by your side at all times?"

"No they took turns. Two went off to fight while the other two stayed with me."

"So I'm guessing your pretty close with them."

She obviously likes Logan. Especially if they spent that much time with each other.

"Yeah, I've always seen them as my four older brothers."

"That must be amazing. Even though you didn't have blood brothers, at least you have someone who is so close you consider them that."

"It is. May I ask you something?"

"You just did."

She rolled her eyes and smiled.

"Of course you can."

"When you thought Logan was the prince."

"Which by the way was very embarrassing."

"Who did you think I was?"

I looked at her then looked away embarrassed. What am I suppose to tell her.

'Well besides thinking that you were the girl of my dreams I thought you were Logan's girlfriend.'

That is more embarrassing than the fact that I thought Logan was the prince of Krýo.

"Damien?"

I immediately looked at her.

"Yes?"

"You haven't answered my question. Who did you think I was?"

Then I noticed Logan and Mason had come to her side and were standing looking away from us.

"Well, actually I thought you were Logan's girlfriend."

Instantly I could tell she was surprised by my answer. I think I even saw Logan react to my answer.

"You... You thought I was his girlfriend?"

"Yeah. I'm sorry about that. I shouldn't have gone to conclusions like that."

She then began to laugh. I looked at her confused. Was she laughing at the fact that I thought she was Logan's girlfriend? She stopped laughing and looked at me while smiling.

"I'm sorry, I just find it funny how don't even bother in asking anyone when you have a question."

"I guess I should start asking when I don't know."
