Chapter 92 - Friends Or More?

"You okay Cosmo?" Ash asked and she smiled as she kept holding onto the princess. 

'I am fine she responded and he sat on the bed near her. 

"Place her to lay down Cosmo," he said and so she did. 

"She will be fine, don't worry too much. just try and calm down" Ash said as he held onto Cosmo's trembling hand. 

"I am fine," she said. 

"You are not fine..., going head-on like that with them was very stupid you could have gotten seriously injured Cosmo" Vivian replied. 

"Vivian is right, I get you are angry, we all are but you need to be careful," Marlene said. 

"Cosmo we know you are right but you are not like them, powerful, you can get really hurt" Jasmine replied and the girl sighed. 

'I know, I am sorry" Cosmo said and Ahs patted her on the head. 

"You can stay here with her and relax if you want, I have things to do," Ash said and Cosmo looked at Lilith as she slept then sighed. 

"It won't make any sense if I stay either," Cosmo said as she got off of the bed and Vivian hugged her then she smiled. 

"Come on let's go, we can go take some rest by the lake if you guys want," Vivian said. 

'Should we leave her here alone though?" Jasmine asked. 

'She won't be alone, I am here, she will be fine, you guys should get some fresh air" the queen responded. 

'Are you staying? maybe we should just bring the queen and Lilith along, we don't know what will happen when we leave" Marlene said. 

"Actually we can take you guys.. you can use some air too your highness," Cosmo said and the queen smiled then patted Cosmo on the shoulder. 

'You girls have fun.. don't worry about me... I will take care of her" she replied and Cosmo sighed. 

"Alright be careful, we won't be long," Cosmo said and the queen smiled as all of them walked out of the room and she sat down near her daughter. 

'Lilith how do I tell you that the guy love that you want and consider to be your father even though he is cruel to you is not your real father?" the queen asked herself as she stared at the girl with tears in her eyes. 

"Is she okay?" her father asked as he appeared in the room and the queen got up then hugged him tightly and he patted her on the head. 

"Sh will be fine.. after all, she is our child," he said as the queen cried and he placed her to sit on the bed as he sat beside her. 

'What's wrong?" the guy asked and the queen frowned. 

"I want to be able to do something for her, help her" she responded and he sighed. 

"You will be helping her by staying safe... if anything happens to you she will break, you and I both know that eventually she will find out the truth until then we need to keep it together" he said. 

"I know and you are right but I really cannot help feeling that way" she replied and he frowned. 

"That's understandable, she is my daughter and I am unable to help her for all these years at least you are still by her side, she doesn't even know I exist" he said and the queen sighed. 

"When she goes back to normal and if I am alive we will tell her together, explain everything so that she will understand and won't feel like you abandoned her" the queen replied and he smiled. 

"I would love for her to know everything but I am afraid of the hatred that might build up inside of her, the storm that will create," he said as he placed his head on the queen's lap and she placed her hand on his head as he looked at his daughter. 

"We will be going back soon right?" Cosmo asked as they went to the lake not far from the castle and between the hill to the right from the fairies forest. 

"We won't be" Vivian replied as they arrived at the lake and there was even a long waterfall on the white mountain, the water there is usually freezing cold but very relaxing. 

Cosmo along with everyone came out of the carriage and the girls spread a blanket in the sift grass as they sat by the tree and Cosmo grabbed an apple from the basket the maids prepared for them. 

While eating the apple Cosmo could not help but feel Lilith's presence, she has never gone out without the princes and was feeling a bit lonely even though everyone was very friendly even Vivian the one that was expected to hate Cosmo for the rest of her life for taking her best friend away. 

"You okay?" Vivian asked as she sat beside Cosmo. 

"Yeah I am fine thanks, how are you holding up?" Cosmo asked and the princess smiled. 

'I am doing fine... Lilith is really strong and I believe that she can fight this but as for you... you have gotten quite attached to her for the time you have been here, which is a while... your connection with her is even stronger than mine and the others" Vivian responded. 

'Don't mind me asking but what do you see Lilith as?" she asked and Cosmo's eyes widened as she looked at Vivian when the girl asked her that. 

'What do you mean by that?" Cosmo asked and Vivian smiled. 

'Sometimes it looks like you consider her as a really good friend it no best friend and others it looks like you want an actual relationship with her one that is not just friends" Vivian said and Cosmo coughed. 

'Which is it exactly?" Vivian asked and Cosmo smiled 

"I want her to be by my side as my best friend not only now but forever" she responded and Vivian smiled then looked at the girl.
