Catastrophic Kai Avalon

13 | First Days

ASHTONS POV

"Wait so why are you in my mind again cuppa?" I asked.

"To haunt you" I heard a smug voice say.

"No seriously"

"Um.. So the readers really really want your POV so please write this chapter" is this person for real?

"No"

"Oh but you have too, I control you remember" yea I forgot that little detail.

"Its scary that someone like you controls my whole life"

"My mom also controls my whole life you don't see me complaining bout that" *she rolled her eyes*

"What'd ya say cuppa, you little- *distant creaming of cuppa's mum*

"I better get going"

"How annoying" I mumbled.

****

I lazily opened my eyes to the sunlight dancing on the floor as I stretched my arm with a groan and yawn.

"You up ash?" A cheerful voice said.

"Yea I'm fine"

"I asked if you were up, but never mind" I rubbed my eyes for a clearer vision of this person.

Chestnut hair, olive skin.

Kyle.

"What do you want?"

"No, I was just wondering... It's already 7:10 and you still aren't awake yet," he said "usually you have this mental alarm that wakes you up at exactly 6:30, not even a second late. But today is unusual..."

"Oh," I mumbled the flashes of last night coming back.

That awful dream.

That cold yet shrill voice.

Fire.

Darkness.

Deep green eyes and an idiotic grin.

...

Wait, an idiotic grin?

That chocolate cookie. The inner voice said again

Chocolate cookie?

...

Oh yeah, Kai.

That idiot bumped into me last night. She said she was roaming around for snacks but I felt there was more to that. No one suddenly wakes up in the middle of the night for snacks. But then again she's kai, she would probably go to the moon in her sleep if somebody was willing to give her chocolate for doing that.

I bounced off the bed trying to remember more about last night.

Conner and Kyle had already taken their trips to the bathroom which made me the last to use it. And I hate that.

What makes it even worse is that I am going after Kyle, and he just leaves the bathroom in a condition no human could use. Another one of my reasons for waking up early.

You might be thinking that there must be some special treatment for me like an extra washroom or a bigger luxurious dorm since I am the prince and all. But honestly, there aren't any. My father, the king, has always believed in equality so much so that he'd often go out and live in the village or the poor part of the country for a couple of days or at times weeks.

But that was not the same for me. I had been homeschooled for as long as I could remember. The only interaction I had with kids my age was Kyle, who was the son of my trainer and Conner, who was the son of one of the nobles in father's court. At times I'd meet the princes or princesses of other countries at official parties but I never took a liking to them, they were either too snobby or spoiled. They were always too childish for me.
