BEATRIX
Beatrix’s eyes narrowed when Loren smiled and sort of brushed aside what she had said. Why was he smiling like that? Why was it even a question? They were a military family, of course she had been taught how to survive things! But he pulled out food that was much fresher than anything they had, and she begrudgingly took an apple and some bread. Jace was quite interested in the food himself, grabbing a big chunk of cheese with both hands and toddling back into the little hovel he had been living in with his sister.
As the young girl plopped on a few dirty blankets on the ground, she took a bite of the apple, returning her brother’s shocked look with one of confusion. ”We didn’t run away, we’ve been livin’ here since Edy died. Isn’t that right Jacey?” Bea said. Jace nodded, clearly much more interested in the cheese than what she was saying. ”Mom was queen and then she disappeared and Edy became queen. Then she died and we were the only heirs left. And there was the new queen lady and king and mom told me once how the best way to stop someone from taking your authority is to take out the other person’s heirs.” Beatrix said, pointing between her and Jace. ”So I took Jace and we’ve been here since so whenever mom comes back or Neron shows up, we will be here.”

I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life they way I want
To say and do whatever I please
