Failed Once Again (Alexander)

[Repa Raines]

Princess at Heart
Yeah I'm a Princess...but I'm no Damsel in Distress...Far from it.

"Repa?" “Repa…?”

Repa was practically in shock. She cried for help, and someone actually heard her plea. All she could think of was, what would have happened if no one heard her? Where would she be now? Dead? Alive? There were countless possibilities. She was just so thankful right now. As Alex had uncuffed her she felt herself start to sob uncontrollably, but silently. As tough as she tried to be during events, it was always the aftermath that scared her, no one really got to see THIS sensitive of side of Repa. Normally she would’ve tried to blow it off as nothing, but this…was so close to the end for her, she couldn’t hide her emotions.

“A-Alex…” She said between gasps from her silent sobs as she sat there on her knees and then clinged to Alex’s shirt, her hands were trembling as she leaned her forehead against his shoulder trying not to act like a complete baby. He was the hero here, and she sure noticed that. She felt bad about what she said earlier, not that it wasn’t true, but now she just felt bad.

“Thank you.” “I’ll go make sure no one else is around.”

Repa didn’t pay attention to Josh, he was just doing his job now. Being a soldier and what not, but she did hope he didn’t get hurt, that was pretty much it. No need to interfere with his work.

===================

Raines had heard the cry of his daughter and immediately ran out, first thing he saw was Josh running off with more soldiers to check out the woods, his eyes then caught sight of Alex and Repa. Okay, so there HAD to be some sort of spark there now. He could just tell. He stood there in his robe and a pipe In his hand as he figured he best not pester Repa with questions over her safety…she seemed pretty safe to him.

[alex]

“A-Alex…”

“Thank you.” “I’ll go make sure no one else is around.”

Alex nodded and knew what Josh meant....And just held Repa close to him....He let her hug him this close....If it made her feel safe then he couldn't turn away from her.....

"Let's get you inside okay...Hold on to me...."

He said softly as he lifted her up into his arms and started to carry her inside the palace.....Unaware that her father had just witnessed this....

After he carried her inside, he knew now she was freezing just as he was earlier that evening....He rushed her to her bed room and found another blanket that was purple....And wrapped it around her shoulders as he sat her on the bed....

"Let's get these muddy clothes off...." He unlaced her shoes and took them off. "There we go..." He then took off her soaked socks....And continued to take off her clothes...All the while trying not to look at any thing....He didn't think she would like it if he took a peek....He wouldn't even think about taking advantage of her....He had laid out some warm PJ'S for her to put on herself....As he turned his back....He would not leave her though....Scared she might try and leave again....And he didn't want her to leave....

((In case you forgot....I'm leaving Stella out of this one^^))

"Let's get you inside okay...Hold on to me...."

Repa didn’t argue, in fact, she didn’t say anything at all really, she just nodded in response and held onto Alex as he carried her inside. Truthfully speaking, Repa was able to walk, though she was probably sore from her fall earlier it wasn’t impossible, but Alex was being nice here, and Repa was far too...exhausted to even try to use any energy. Once inside, the air conditioner hit Repa as if she were being thrown into a pool of ice. Now she knew how cold Alex felt earlier, it was freezing inside. Maybe it wasn’t such a smart idea to sneak out in the rain, maybe she should’ve waited for the storm to pass, then maybe none of this would’ve happened to begin with.

After being wrapped in a blanket and placed in her room, Repa so desperately wanted to crawl under all her blankets and go to sleep, well a shower first might be in order…or not?

"Let's get these muddy clothes off...." "There we go..."

Wait what? Okay, maybe this was a little too much of the whole being nice thing. But as of now, it wasn’t really a priority, so what? Repa just kept herself covered up most of the time before Alex turned away. Repa took this moment to change into a pair of fuzzy pajama bottoms, and she switched out a top for a tank top, just in case she got too hot, it’s not like it was brutally cold now, although some slippers were necessary for her now. After Repa was changed she looked into a mirror and sighed, horrified at her hair, all wet tangled, she didn’t want to worry about it so she put it up in a messy bun and called it good. “Thank you.” Repa said, her voice a little hoarse and seeming to disappear, she might be getting sick or something. “I’m…sorry for before. I should’ve told you sooner. I’m also sorry for the way I reacted, rushing off, it wasn’t polite of me.” Why bring up the subject? Because Repa still felt bad and wanted to apologize, and now was the best time to do it. “I…want to thank you for saving me. Who knows where I would be right now…if you hadn’t come.”

While she was talking, Repa picked up all the wet clothes and the blanket up and tossed them into a hamper, to be washed of course sat on her bed, pulling a blanket around her shoulders lightly. “I hope you aren’t angry with me…”


((leaving josh out this time around as well))

[alex]

“Thank you.”

"No problem...." He said as he never turned around as she was getting dressed.....

“I’m…sorry for before. I should’ve told you sooner. I’m also sorry for the way I reacted, rushing off, it wasn’t polite of me.”

Alex then turned around as he heard her get in to bed.....He didn't say any thing yet....He just looked at her with a soft glare.....

“I…want to thank you for saving me. Who knows where I would be right now…if you hadn’t come.” “I hope you aren’t angry with me…”

He pushed his glasses up...How could she think he was mad at her? Well, he was for only a few seconds.....But he was more mad at himself for not even considering she had a boy friend.....

"No....I'm not mad at you....I'm mad at me....I never asked you....I thought I'd just take wing at it....I was wrong again....As usual...."

He looked down as he thought about that. Waiting for what she would have to say to that....He was telling the truth....He hated himself for making feel those feelings....But deep down inside he still really liked her....And who ever this guy was, Alex was not going to be intimidated by him....He would treat Repa as he always had regardless if the guy was around......

"No problem...." "No....I'm not mad at you....I'm mad at me....I never asked you....I thought I'd just take wing at it....I was wrong again....As usual...."

Repa sat on her bed with the blanket around her shoulders as she figured out Alex was feeling bad. She could understand it, she knew the feeling all too well sometimes. What was she to say? What was she to do to make things right again? She couldn’t just…blow off Yazoo and call it good with Alex, no. She had to figure out something. Someway to cheer Alex up. As a smile curled upon her lips she sat up on her knees and pulled Alex down to sit next to her. “You listen to me Alexander Fleuret. One day you’re going to find yourself a wonderful girl. I promise. And you will live happily ever after.” That sounded pretty cheesy but it was true to her.

Even with the cheesy ending of a happily ever after, Repa had another comment to make. “I may not be able to see the future, but from my own personal experience…you’ll find someone…and soon. I’m sure of it.” She patted his shoulder and tried to cheer him up. If that didn’t work, she’d think of something else. “You know, I owe you a lot for saving me. Even though I’m a princess and all…I really hate being the damsel in distress. It’s too…common.” She shrugged making conversation. “So, how about…I offer a lifetime of servitude to you? I mean, to repay my life.” She was of course joking some, but really Alex needed rewarding, but what?

Finally silence creeped into the room. Repa really didn’t know what else to say, at least anything that was relevant to well, anything. “So…your dad seems nice. I mean I’ve met Stella before, but never anyone else in your family.” Repa said trying to keep conversation rolling, maybe if she was lucky, her and Alex could be the best of friends, though her own mixed emotions were telling her otherwise. That it wasn’t possible for that to work. Then a really random, yet true thought/question came into her mind. Was it possible to be in love with 2 different people at the same time?

[alex]

“You listen to me Alexander Fleuret. One day you’re going to find yourself a wonderful girl. I promise. And you will live happily ever after.” “I may not be able to see the future, but from my own personal experience…you’ll find someone…and soon. I’m sure of it.”

"Thanks Repa...That means a lot....Really it does...." He smiled as he looked up to her.....He was a bit better now....Not so mad about himself now......

Alex couldn't help but smile at that...The thought of having some to love him was more than what he ever wanted....And to live happily ever after....That would be pretty sweet too.....But the way his life was going....It seemed so impossible right now....

“You know, I owe you a lot for saving me. Even though I’m a princess and all…I really hate being the damsel in distress. It’s too…common.” “So, how about…I offer a lifetime of servitude to you? I mean, to repay my life.”

"Repa....You don't owe me any thing....I'm a body guard remember....It's in my nature to protect...."

“So…your dad seems nice. I mean I’ve met Stella before, but never anyone else in your family.”

"Um.....He's a pain in my ass really....We were actually forced to come here.....I'd be with Noctis right now if that was not the case....If we had to choose.....Repa....Can I tell you a secret....I mean....A secret that's not yours to share.....Because if you can't....I'll walk out that door right now....And never bother you again....." He was dead serious right now.....

[Repa Raines]

Yeah I'm a Princess...but I'm no Damsel in Distress...Far from it.

"Thanks Repa...That means a lot....Really it does...." "Repa....You don't owe me any thing....I'm a body guard remember....It's in my nature to protect...." "Um.....He's a pain in my ass really....We were actually forced to come here.....I'd be with Noctis right now if that was not the case....If we had to choose.....Repa....Can I tell you a secret....I mean....A secret that's not yours to share.....Because if you can't....I'll walk out that door right now....And never bother you again....."

Repa was glad to have cheered Alex up a bit, she meant every word she had said before, and it seems it did the trick. He didn’t seem so down as he was a few moments ago. Even though Alex had said that she didn’t owe him anything, she really did. It was only natural for her to repay him somehow, especially when it was her life on the line earlier, though how to repay for that? Was beyond her. “I’ll repay you somehow. Don’t even try to talk me out of it. Once I’ve got my mind set…well, its set for good.” She grinned some sitting there not as cold anymore, or as shaken up. In fact, she felt rather happy right now.

“You were forced? Wow. That’s…well I sure know that feeling.” Repa mumbled as she let her eyes wander around her room, nothing particular drew her attention. Just wondering when and how she was going to leave this place. Obviously she should’ve come up with a plan B for her escape. Maybe now was the time to think of one? Nope probably not, Alex wanted to share a secret, it must be big seeing he said a lot of things to imply it was big. And Repa knew better than to go around blabbing secrets out the window, especially when they weren’t hers. So his secret would be safe with her.

She nodded some. “Don’t worry, I will not say a word. I promise” Repa said almost in a whisper, seeing as they were going into secret mode, she figured it’d be best to talk quietly. “I’ll keep my mouth shut.” She smiled before doing the zip hand movement over her mouth to reassure her previous statements. Now it was time to share secrets, whatever this was, it was either really dangerous to share, or just something that wasn’t anyone else’s business, or it could be both. Repa figured it was both. It was really shocking the way Alex trusted Repa, not that she didn’t like it, but…maybe this wasn’t a good thing. Them getting closer…there was some doubt it all this.

[alex]

“I’ll repay you somehow. Don’t even try to talk me out of it. Once I’ve got my mind set…well, its set for good.” Alex gave a side smile at her....“You were forced? Wow. That’s…well I sure know that feeling.” “Don’t worry, I will not say a word. I promise” “I’ll keep my mouth shut.”

"Good then Repa pay very close attention....Because that man in there.....Is playing his role to a T....Him and Noctis are sworn enemies....My father wants one thing....A crystal....It hold huge amounts of power....That's all I can say about it right now....About the crystal....That is. But...my father is not a good guy....He's probably trying to win your father over some thing right now if he hasn't done it already....What I'm trying to say is....He's been trying to kill Noctis for years....Just so he can get the crystal....That's my job...I'm the protector....Not just me either....Storm is as well....You remember him right? All I ask....Is keep your eye sharp around my Dad....Don't believe any thing he says....It's all a show...."

Alex hoped he said it clear enough she would understand everything now....And why he was friends with Noctis now....Noctis saved him from doing some thing really stupid and in return he protects the young prince from his own father.....Which he would most likely never get a long with....

Alex looked down...Well there was a silent moment....He had tried to tell her the best way he could about what was really going on....He had the brains and science but when it came to girls....He was just dumb founded....Boy, Storm would be trying to give him all kinds of advice if he was here....And Noctis would just be there by his side....And say go for it....

All I ask....Is keep your eye sharp around my Dad....Don't believe any thing he says....It's all a show...."

Alex’s father and Noctis were enemies? Over a crystal…? Repa’s mind raced a bit, back to her father, she knew him well, hopefully he wasn’t that stupid to fall for anything. Though nothing was positive with the king of Delatorr, anything was possible. Repa kept quiet through this story, even when mentioning Storm, that bouncy hyper kid from the good old days, yeah she remembered him, so all she did was nod as a response to that. So, all of this was a show…perhaps she should warn her father? No, that would be sharing a secret…wouldn’t it? Of course it wouldn’t be so bad just at least advising her father not to fall for any of Richards crap. When all was said and done Repa just tried to figure out how to respond. Just a simple ‘okay’ probably wasn’t enough, but she wasn’t about to go all ‘monolog’ on Alex here.

After a few moments of silence Repa figured any response was better than none. “Wow. I can honestly say, I know that feeling. I’ve been in a situation much like that myself. Well to an extent.” She said with a shrug, well she hadn’t heard any of this from Noctis before, nothing about some crystal or whatever, but that didn’t bother her. It wasn’t her business, there were things about her that she didn’t wish to share, at least just yet. “But I’ll keep my guard up. I’m not so easily fooled.” Lie. Repa was usually oblivious and could fall for about anything, though with a warning ahead of time, it wouldn’t probably end in her being tricked, unless this guy was REALLY good.

Now it was getting even later than late. Not that Repa was tired or anything, it was just an observation. “So how long are you guys planning on staying?” She just was curious, if just overnight, well then cool. If longer, that’d be fine too, it’d give her some time to keep chatting with Alex, and apologize to Stella for her odd behavior from awhile ago, and possibly to see what lengths Richard Fleuret would go to, to ‘recruit’ the Raines family against Noctis and what not. It would never happen but the attempt might be entertaining.

[alex]

“Wow. I can honestly say, I know that feeling. I’ve been in a situation much like that myself. Well to an extent.” “But I’ll keep my guard up. I’m not so easily fooled.” Alex nodded at that....He was glad and relieved now that she understood everything....Maybe she would not be fooled by his father after all....And if she saw any thing that didn't look exactly safe or to good to be real, then maybe then she would speak up.....Which he knew she probably has no trouble in doing.....

“So how long are you guys planning on staying?”

"I...I don't know.....I kinda wanna get back to Cocoon...I mean I know Noctis is well guarded and everything...But, I just....ya know....I don't like being away from him too long....But who knows what ever my father decides....I pretty much have no choice but to stay....Unless there was a good reason I have to leave...."

He wanted to leave though. He was making that painfully obvious to her now....Not just that because of Noctis......But now that he knew she has some one....What was the point of him staying here? He felt like he only really belonged one place now....And that was at Noctis's palace....His only real home he could actually call home....He stood up at looked out the window...The thought of Repa's brother came back to his mind as he looked out the window at the rain....

"I hope your brother's okay.....Maybe I should've gone with him....."

((I had to make sure I posted this one for you while I have my moms lap top ))

[Repa Raines]

Princess at Heart
Yeah I'm a Princess...but I'm no Damsel in Distress...Far from it.

"I...I don't know.....I kinda wanna get back to Cocoon...I mean I know Noctis is well guarded and everything...But, I just....ya know....I don't like being away from him too long....But who knows what ever my father decides....I pretty much have no choice but to stay....Unless there was a good reason I have to leave...." "I hope your brother's okay.....Maybe I should've gone with him....."

It was understandable. Wanting to get back home, though with Repa she never really sought a good enough reason to come back, but she did none the less. Though she knew part of the reason he wanted to leave was probably because of her. She couldn’t help but take part of the blame for that, of course she had to, it was natural for her to feel bad during any event. It always seemed like it was her fault, no matter what it was. “Well…you could leave on your own accord…I mean, you don’t have to stay as long as your father does. You’re an adult and free to do as you please.” Repa said trying to smile a bit as she practically leaped off her bed and dropped the blanket as Alex got up, but she stayed where she landed as he looked out the window and mentioned Josh.

“Oh. Well he took a few soldiers with him, I’m sure he’ll be fine.” Well that pretty much ended the conversation. The worst thing that could happen now was akward silence. Not that Repa hadn’t made it akward enough already. She really couldn’t say sorry, but she couldn’t just leave it at that could she? She guessed for tonight, this would have to be it. “I’m sure he’ll be back before morning…” She said looking at a clock on her nightstand, wow. It was like late late. Past midnight late and Repa…was worn out. She let out a yawn. “I think it’s time I go to bed…you too. Don’t want to be half dead tomorrow…” She said trying to finish this up quick, the awkwardness was going to kill her, though she hoped to see Alex tomorrow. Hopefully things would be less…weird then.

[alex]

“Well…you could leave on your own accord…I mean, you don’t have to stay as long as your father does. You’re an adult and free to do as you please.”

“I’m sure he’ll be back before morning…”

“I think it’s time I go to bed…you too. Don’t want to be half dead tomorrow…”

"Yeah....You need your beauty sleep....Where as I just took my meds...So I better get back to my room before I fall asleep on the edge of your bed....Sleep tight princess...." He kissed her fore head gently as a good night gesture....And left her room then....

As he walked out of the room he eased the door shut and sighed as he looked down. He hated himself right now. He was in love with some one else's girl.....He might ask Storm for a little bit of advice when he got back home. Storm was like that. He was what did he call himself once? A chick magnet? Some thing like that. So he would know some thing about girls....No use in asking Noctis.....Cause the man was just as oblivious out girls as Alex was....But Noctis even had a girl....His sister...So why couldn't Alex land the right girl? Well, he thought he did....But alas.....He hasn't....

Alex walked all the way back to his room then....And walked into it....He thought about what Repa said. That he didn't have to stay if he didn't want to. But he wanted to. He knew Noctis was safe....And honestly, Alex had to know where his father was at all times...And that meant that as long as his father was away from Noctis....Then Noctis was safe....And the crystal was safe....Besides Storm was with him.....

It was not like Noctis was un-protected...Alex sat in the chair next to the blazing fire place...As he just placed his fingers on his fore head after he took off his glasses and rubbed his fingers on his fore head....He had a lot on his plate....He had too much on his plate....That cold wet night came back to him....When he met Stella on that street....Right before she was to fight Noctis....And he found her instead and held one of his guns to her fore head....

There was a reason he couldn't pull the trigger right there.....Simply because if he had done that, then a civil war would break out between the two families... Oh and there was another reason. She had told him right there on the spot that they were brother and sister and what his fate was....Which he still had not told Noctis....It bothered him a lot....He has night mares about it. He was siding with the enemy....

And now so was Stella....They were both on Noctis's side....The storm out side was still going on....He heard the thunder and lightning out side....He looked at the crackling fire in the fire place.....He knew he couldn't call out side this world to Noctis or Storm right now....Not with this weather....So he decided to get a book out of his bag he's been reading and started to read it....Before he knew it he fell asleep right there in the chair by the fire place....

Morning.....

The sun rose high in the sky.....Alex woke up from another night mare....That made him scream out! But he soon realized where he was....And sighed as he realized he was....Thank goodness no one heard him....He got up and decided to take a shower and changed clothes after that....Didn't want any one to think he fell asleep in his clothes he wore last night....And he cleaned his glasses after he got through with that....And decided to venture out and see the palace and try and find the kitchen again....Maybe he would find it better in day light.....

[Repa Raines]

Princess at Heart
Yeah I'm a Princess...but I'm no Damsel in Distress...Far from it.

"Yeah....You need your beauty sleep....Where as I just took my meds...So I better get back to my room before I fall asleep on the edge of your bed....Sleep tight princess...."

Sleep tight princess? Wow. Weren’t they past all this princess stuff? Repa much preferred her name over…Princess, especially coming from a friend. Or, at least she thought was a friend, though she knew she probably messed this friendship up completely. But maybe not, tomorrow was in fact a new day, perhaps things would be better then? Hopefully. Repa just felt awful about all of tonight’s events and just wanted to sleep, she wouldn’t even bother washing her hair tonight she was so tired. Today had been rather adventurous. Crossing the forest into Delatorr’s kingdom, that stupid show party, and then the failed attempt at an escape, what a fun filled day. Not. Just to show how tired Repa was…she wasn’t even going to think about making her escape now, a good night’s sleep was just what she needed.

Once Alex left Repa sat quietly on her bed and just thought of a few moments, staring at the carpet and yawning a bit. All this heavy thinking…was just gonna have to wait till morning…or afternoon…or whenever Repa decided to crawl out of her bed. And with that, she laid back, curled a few blankets around her and drifted off to sleep. Not a dream came to her, not a nightmare either. Just one of those blank nights where nothing happened…just…darkness and sleep. It was great. The perfect night’s sleep.

Morning….

So, Repa didn’t get to sleep as long as she thought she would, but she did feel so much better having a good few hours of sleep in. The sun was already up and the air was breezy outside her doors, the sky clear and free of any storms today. That was good. Although the atmosphere was great, her look…not so much. Her previously wet muddy hair was a total haystack, time for a shower.

After Repa got her hair washed she felt even better! Today was going to be a fantastic day, at least she had this positive attitude right now, that was a good thing. As she got changed and had her hair wrapped in a towel she thought about all the things that happened the night before. As of now, it didn’t really bother her, hopefully she could make amends with Stella and maybe try to hang out with her, and then there was Alex. Repa wanted to make things okay between them as well. That one, she wasn’t so optimistic about. But there was hope.

Walking out, hair all fluffy and straightened, makeup done to perfection and a cute little ensemble of a simple yellow top and denim shorts with some tennis shoes. Repa felt pretty great today, so she wandered off down a few hallways before hearing a grumbling sound from her stomach. She hadn’t eaten a whole lot lately, been too much going on to stop and really eat, so today, a big breakfast was in order. It seemed rather early for what time Repa thought it was. The sun was still a golden orange color, almost like sunrise, so it was probably around 7:30 right about now. Wandering the halls Repa turned a corner and stopped, she saw Alex wandering about the area and cocked her head to the side a bit before she smiled slightly and walked quickly up to him, slowing her pace as she got a good 3 feet away from him. “Beautiful morning isn’t it? Care for some breakfast? You gotta be hungry…”

[alex]

“Beautiful morning isn’t it? Care for some breakfast? You gotta be hungry…”

"Very beautiful day...Yes....I'm starving...Lead the way...I got lost last night."

Repa would see that Alex's whole attitude has changed since last night...He was not mad at her for what she tried....Actually he was happy that she was alright...In fact he saw Josh not too long ago heading down to breakfast. Alex was worried about him. But Repa was right about to not worry about Josh....

"I saw Josh earlier this morning...Don't know why I was so worried about him....You feeling better?"

He asked as he walked with her to the kitchen for breakfast....But there was one thing that Repa was not going to find out about, his night mares....They were so demonic....Too severe for ears....Alex was just glad that now he had some one to relate to. He was happier now than he was last night. He could tell even Repa got a good night sleep...At least she did...She would probably notice his tired eyes and all behind his glasses....But at this point he didn't even care about that....If he had to tell her he was still having night mares then he would....

[Repa Raines]

Princess at Heart
Yeah I'm a Princess...but I'm no Damsel in Distress...Far from it.

"Very beautiful day...Yes....I'm starving...Lead the way...I got lost last night." "I saw Josh earlier this morning...Don't know why I was so worried about him....You feeling better?"

Repa smiled. Things sure did seem to be better today. Maybe everyone was just tired last night and that sparked a few…mishaps? But yes, today was better. That was good. And another thing, Josh had come home unharmed and seemed perfectly fine, it was good news to hear. “Oh really? I haven’t seen Josh yet this morning…hmm…must’ve run off to the gym or something.” Repa shrugged taking a few steps and starting a stride towards the kitchen. The sun was blazing through the windows, a bright orange-yellow that was practically blinding until you actually got into the kitchen…away from windows, but that didn’t bother Repa. Twas a beautiful day…or the start to one.

She looked back and noticed the tiredness that Alex was showing. Must’ve had a rough night, she wasn’t going to bother him about it except maybe saying something to let him know it was noticeable. “You might want to take a nap or something later…you look awfully tired.” Repa said turning back forward and walking into a big kitchen.

None of the kitchen staff was up and cooking yet, but that was okay. Oh the royal life, Repa missed some of these days where lifting a finger wasn’t allowed. Its what servants were for and stuff, but some days it was hard to stand being waited on left and right. “What’cha want for breakfast? we make practically anything here…” She said walking over to one of the cooking stations and pulling out an apron and tied it around her waist. Whoever said a princess couldn’t cook? Repa was ready to start something…she was hungry as well.
