Brightest star

The will to protect

It was like a dream,we are in a new year remembering what the last year had been like is nothing to write home about, but am grateful for everything. As of today I am officially a member of the Star rebels and I promise to bring peace to the country,we were collecting our honorarium rings,it was a sign that we are now members. The leader we t ahead to give his speech most part of his speech was about him send us to go and find the other starholders so that we can retake the peace and tranquility the kingdom of Benner stole from us. The training during the past one year was hectic,no time to rest and it really stressed me a lot,thank Goodness am done. Now the star holders should go pack their thing for the new journey, the path might be dangerous and full of trouble,we are sending you guys into an uncertain land where we don't know what dangerous beast or monsters are awaiting,but one thing we know is that this path to the uncertain is the only path tha can lead to the certain and create a more peaceful nation.Damien will accompany you guys he is one of the most highly train personnel here and with him there you can rest assured.

We began our journey almost immediately, most of Levi friends and family were seeing him off,his mom was even crying she didn't want her son to be in any form of danger. I was immersed in my thought then someone tapped me. Hi I am the maid to the lady here and she has a message for you firstly,you should not dare seduce her son secondly, even if you die her son must live and return alive and lastly if you dare fall in love with her son she will gauge our your eyes and feed it to the dogs. The maid left heww..... what an overprotective mother, she should rest assured I don't believe in love,it only brings endless pain and desire. I have experienced a lot in my life. We entered the wagon and then began our journey.

So lady and gentlemen, Damien said we are now in the outskirt of the Headquarters, based on out current info the fourth star holder will be in the country of green, country of green? Yes it was named the country of green because it was very prosperous full of life and very beautiful until,the distribution of power became a problem and then the started fighting an internal war amongst the leader, some bandits saw that as an opportunity and then took away the throne from the current King,since then the country has become very ugly on the inside but beautiful from the outside, our only job there is to get the starholder and leave or else if our identity is exposed we'll be as good as dead. But....... what did you forget to tell us Damien....Levi asked. Before we reach the country of green,we must pass through the river of rust and the hidden swamp it'll be very dangerous,that why most people in the country are afraid to leave and ask for help outside. The rest of the journey was quiet, Jacob hasn't said a word to me for a month now since the incidentthat occurred, I do not actuallyblame him I feel that something was off. Nowadays, he rarely even

smiles and am worried about him.

********One year ago******

The clouds got darker, the wind was strong. I think a storm is coming. Sir Henry was still teaching us, well typical sir Henry everyone is already used to it. We were learning the use of camouflaged, it was so boring. The class was made up of teenagers about my age or even older, their parents were members of the rebel army, they were all training to be members of the rebel army. Joanne! Joanne!! Joanne!!! Joanne!!!! Yes sir! Can you tell the class what was the last thing I said? No, sir I replied, I was so lost in my thoughts that I did not even notice that the class was over. Sir Henry kept talking over and over and over again, he ended up telling me to rewrite 200 copies of the 'Secret of camouflago' it was a very boring book. He left the class, everyone started leaving the class. You won't go to your Chamber Joan? Mia asked I will but I'll pack my things first, you can go ahead. Okay Joan see you later. The rain began to fall 6 minutes after Mia left. Well just my bad luck I said to myself. There were only 5 people left in the class Helen the sassiest girl in the class, she is so cool everyone likes her and she is beautiful, but I think she hates me for no reason, then there is Amy she is Helen best friend, but they are so different Amy is so kind and generous. Levi is also in the class he always has this cold impression on his face, all the girls think he is hot and cool and there is Jake.Jacob has changed so much since we left the palace, they all say he is dating Amy, but I don't care,only those that know love can love.

This book chapters are much,but am already used to it this will be my 100th time of recopying the book, i virtually know everything in the book so it was not a hard task to recopy it, because of the amount of time i spent recopying the book i already have spares for this kind of situation, just to copy 20 more. Hey stupid girl Joan, it was Amy again whe never get tired of bulling me, hey Amy. You know Joan this class is not meant for stupid incompetent people like you, you are so dumb you don't know anything. Sometimes i even wonder why you are the starholder sometimes I say to myself why does a lowly dog like you get to be the starholder, why not me? You are even a seductress Amy said taking a deep breath, she then whispered to me. Sooner Jake will be mine you know? I wonder why he likes you so much, well maybe because you two came from the same place, but take it from me his done with a s**t like you, if you were not the star holder no one will even know you are even alive, Amy concluded laughing sarcastically. She then went back to meet Jake, how rude can she be? I soliloquized, she always reminds me of how useless I am. Well, there is no point in staying here anymore. I began to pack my books then i left the class better to walk in the rain than stay in this class.

I was outside the corridor, let's do this girl I said to my self. Someone grabbed my hands I turned to see who it was and it was Levi, Levi was always kind to me he always took care of me like a younger sister. I have an umbrella Joanne let's go, he also calls me I felt very comfortable with him. Thanks Levi you are the best.

Amy stop bullying Joan, she's not your toy or anything, but honey!! Don't call me honey Amy. But we are dating right or you are still in love with that worthless girl, you think she'll ever love you. She has Levi and compared to you, you are just a small fish in the pond. Based on the story we heard about you guys you should be glad she even stares at you, after what you've done to her........ Shut up Amy I don't need you to remind me. I am leaving, wait for me Jake honey........

When I came outside, I saw Levi holding hands with Joan, she was smiling happily........ You see that honey she is just a b..... Let's go honey.

Oooh Joan!!! Mia said as I entered the room I can see you have a new boyfriend Joan! And you did not tell your one and only roommate, Mia was my roommate she was just a simple girls with a nice personality and she is just like Adrianna I Haven seen her other side so I don't trust her. Maybe the scar in my heart won't let me allow her in my heart, I was so heartbroken when I lost my only bestfriend, so I don't want to share any secret with Mia, I want to trust her but I can't just bring myself to trust her, I'm afraid to be hurt again. Joan!!!!!!!!? You are lost in your thoughts again, didn't you hear my question. Oooh about Levi he's a friend of mine, he reminds me of a special someone. Oooh I get it Mia said smirking,so he's your lover? I never said that he is not my lover but he is more than that to me. So the ball is coming, who are you going to go with. I'm not going Mia, but Joan it is our last year before graduation and maybe I'll not see you for the next few years please pretty please come with me, but Mia i don't even have a date, please Joan. Mia begged me for 1 week to go to the ball, she was quite a disturbance. I agreed to go with her, the ball was the next month.

I was walking through the garden, it was my safe spot, I normally come here to let out my sorrow and frustration. I was graduating in a month, the fate of the world was in my hands, a bounty was placed on my head it named me a seductress and a witch, they all spread stories that I stole my mistress husband and bewitched him, there was no justice for me, no one has heard my own story.

Joan! I heard a familiar voice tapping me, it was Jake, am sorry Jacob was I too loud I will leave,as I was about to go Jacob grabbed my hands and hugged me tightly, Jake what this I said chuckling we are still friends,let go of me what if people see us. No Joan if I let you go now I don't know what might happen. But Jake if someone sees us they might think am the one harassing you,you know? Whenever am with you bad things happen and I will always get blamed. I don't know if it because am not a royal,I was once a royal if not for your father,they treat me as if am a piece of trash. Immediately I said that he let go of me,but not quickly enough. Amy came running towards me and slapped me how dare you seduce my boyfriend you were hugging him so tight. Amy was shouting,it was do loud that anyone in the surrounding area would hear her,don't you dare slap her Amy oooh she has even bewitched. Am sorry Amy, I will leave you guys.Stop there!!! Amy said screaming.A small crowd began to gather,oh no I can see that Amy is enjoying it. She continued raining abuses on me and Jake did not even talk,something about Jake is off,but I had no time to think about that. All I needed to do was to escape from the piercing eyes of people,even though I was the starholder they all scorned at me their eyes were full of hatred,I couldn't stand it my head felt dissy and I lost consciousness.

Are you sure you want to leave without seeing her Jacob? Yes! Jacob said touching her hands you know Levi I really envy you, she likes you and you are a good man, I was framed by Amy and I know she hates me more than anyone, she has really suffered because of me and everyone addresses her with a bad name. I will protect her from the world I hope she can become strong,I will be her shield when she is in trouble,I will never let anyone hurt her even myself.

Jake!!Jake!!! Why are you turning your back on me. Joan said crying in her sleep,don't run away from me, what have I done? You took her side instead of mine,after all we have gone through. Love is fickle,love is stupid she said whispering the word I hate you!!I hate you for turning your back on me Jake!!!!!!!!!!!!! Joan said jumping from the bed crying. I raised my eyes up and I saw Levi. I held him tight in his arm,Levi.... don't say a word Joan cry out your pain, I understand. I did not go to the ball and I spent the rest of my time with Levi in his house,since his father was the leader he had a full house to himself and I ended up occupying a room,my schedule was simple after school I'll go with Levi to his house,I wanted others to see me as a friendly person and as not the person that was described in the newspaper,but it only made them bully me and look down on me, Joanne you have to be strong enough so that no one will ever bully you.
