Gregor and the prophecy of love

Chapter 1

"Gregor! Come quick! Please!" Lizzy yells from the kitchen. I immediately run in, ever since I followed Boots down the grate in the laundry room I never ignore it when my sisters yell for help. "What is it!?" I ask frantically my rager side ready to kick in at any moment.

Then I see my friend Angelina with a happy yet nervous smile on her face. "H-hi Gregor I know its kinda late and all, but" she says stumbling on the words " but I was wondering nif you would come with me to the dance on Friday?" Oh I totally forgot about the dance, its the type where the girl asks the guy, what am I going to tell her? I can't say no, because then she would want to know why, and for obvious reasons I can tell her that im still in love with this Luxa a queen of a city miles beneath the surface of new york city. "Uhm sure I guess" I say. Her face lights up. "Oh Good! I was soooo nervous!! I am going to wear a light blue dress, so can you get a tie to match it? Preferably a plain one, no wild patterns, can you do that?" She asks excitedly. "Okay"i respond still wishing I could have said no. Angelina is great and all, but shes definitely not Luxa.

After she leaves boots comes in shes 10 now, and boy does she act like it! "Oh my gosh! Gregor! What happened to your arms?" She asked. I forgot I only had a t-shirt on, crap. Everyone in the family had seen my scars, but we never got the nerve to tell boots where they came from, even though she was there for most of it, she was only 2 so she doesn't remember any of it, not even Tick. The thought makes me sad. I remember that day, by the water, Boots almost died also but she didn't.... obviously.

"Uhm well... I guess its time we told you about what happened 8 years ago, when you were 2." I say sitting down on the couch in the living room. I have been  dreading this conversation ever since she started forgetting things. "It started in the laundry room, I was putting the clothes in the dryer when you decided to climb into a laundry grate." "Why would I do that?" Boots interupts. "Well you were not scared of anything back then, but back to the story, I followed you down, we fell for what seemed like hours, when we got to the bottom, there were giant cockroaches." "Giant what!? Ewe!!!" She interupts again. I laugh "Yeah I thought so too, but you loved them immediately, you didn't judge them for being cockroaches, you even rode on the leaders back! They took us to an underground city called Regalia, where we met the Queen, Blah blah blah turns out theres a bunch of prophecies about me, but they call me the warrior, and we fought Giant rats, ants, scorpions, spiders, and a variety of other animals. Any questions? " I ask. "Uhm yeah like why arent you in a mental hospital?" She says with a huge smile "Boots I'm telling the truth. "
