“I want chocolate milk,” I whispered.
He laughed, the vibrant, new sound made my heart soar as my ears yearned to hear the sound again.
“Coming right up Princess.”

I fell back asleep for another hour before waking up, thanks to drinking a glass of my new addiction.
Why hadn’t I discovered chocolate milk earlier? I would have broken out of my cell back at the facility every night, just to enjoy the chocolate sensation.
Kai sat next to me on the sofa as we talked about little things. He informed me that he had arrived in Minato just after our battle on Latelia.
“What is Heila like? Does it look like Minato?” I questioned.
“Nothing like Minato. Heila is far more grand and pure. Even the way the air smells and the flowers blossom through the seasons demonstrates how well the realm is taken care of. Your parent’s love nature and such likes influenced their kingdom. The shifters of Heila work together to keep the realm clean and growing. That’s one of the reasons why Heila’s so popular,” Kai explained.
I nodded, trying to imagine his description in my mind. If Minato was nothing compared to Heila, I was in for a sight. I frowned, the mention of my parents made me nervous.
“What’s wrong Mako?” Kai questioned.
“I’m afraid my family won’t like me. It’s been cycles…” I confessed.
“Mako, they’ll love you. Trust me. You’re an exact copy of your mom so the Kingdom will embrace you. Once they get to experience your feisty personality, they’ll all fight to get a chance to meet you.” Kai laughed.
I poked him in the side. “I’m not feisty. I’m unique.”
“Yes, yes. Whatever you say princess.” He chuckled, bracing himself for another poke. I relaxed, wanting to discuss other things.
I questioned him as to why I had only met him now instead of earlier, like in the medical centre.
“I didn’t want to stress you out. You just woke up and had to deal with a lot during the exam and being checked on non-stop. Adding a fifth person into the wave of shifters would have been too much,” he summarized.
“That makes sense.” I yawned. My head began to fall forward before jerking up.
His arm wrapped around my shoulder, pulling me into a side embrace.
I relaxed, enjoying his scent.
“Get some rest. We have a surprise for you,” he encouraged.
I lifted my head up to stare at him with wide eyes.
“A surprise! What is it! Tell me,” I begged, thrilled to be getting some type of surprise from them.
“If I tell you, it won’t be a surprise, Princess,” he reminded me.
“But I want to know,” I argued, frowning.
“Go to sleep. When you wake up, then you can see,” he reassured.
“Fine...as long as there’s chocolate milk.”
“I’ll make sure Ryder gets some,” he promised.
He began to hum lightly, the tune as calm as his voice. It didn’t take long before I fell asleep, not waking up till the next day.
I must have felt better, because I’d apparently went from Marcus’ room to Elias’. Too bad he wasn’t in bed. I took the pills Karen instructed me to take before heading to the bathroom.
