1. Surprise & Encounter

This book is a Grojband fanfic. None of the characters are mine, most will be either from the show or real people. But, I will put a small twist in it. As you saw by the cover, I will have Selena Gomez play Laney and Liam Payne play Corey. I will put edits in some chapters. Hope you like it. ENJOY!

As I sit on my bed watching the village outside the castle, I wonder how it's like being normal. How lucky the village folk were to not attend meetings, discuss balls, or even having to marry by nineteen. I'm pretty sure they think being a royal is all fun cause of the riches, ball, and outfits, but it's not. You have a guard by you every second, you're not allowed to go outside the palace unless it's necessary, and everything is done for you. For the first time in forever, I want to do work like they do. No one in my family wants to do things on their own, but I desperately want to.

Smiling at the thought of me working, I head to my book shelf and pick out my favorite book. The words Romeo & Juliet are in gold, standing out from the purple cover. I feel all of my previous thoughts disappear and start to think about the book. I wonder how it feels like to be in love. Is it painful, or is it the best feeling in the world? Is there truly someone special for everyone in the world? I snap out of my thoughts when I heard my father calling me from the throne room downstairs.

"Coming father! I'll be there in a minute." I respond as I put the book back in the shelf. My door was closed, but I can hear anything through it. So I pick my dress up, open my door, and make my way to the throne room.

Once I arrive, I see both my father and mother sitting smiling. That's strange, they don't usually smile.

"Darling, your father and I have come up with something. If you aren't married by your nineteenth birthday, we decided that you would marry Prince Louis of the Tomlinson kingdom. I know this isn't easy to take in, but think about it. You haven't found a single gentleman to marry from the kingdom" my mother tells me. Are my ears hearing her correctly? There is no way I will agree to this. I want to marry for love, not an arranged marriage.

"Mother, don't you think this is a little of out the way? After all, I am only seventeen, close to eighteen. There's still time."

"Nonsense child. Your father thought it through and he agrees. Either you get married soon, or you'll be married to Prince Louis." Lord of Irene, this can't be happening. There has to be a way to rule the kingdom without a husband by my side.

There more I thought about it, the more upset I became. I felt tears starting to prickle at the corner of my eyes. I simply just nod at my parents, and make my way back to my room.

Once I make it, I close my door, as I slide down it with my knees to my chest. I need to escape from here; I need to get away for now. I need to go to my secret place near the woods. But first I need to make sure that they think I'm here.

So I put one of my big pillows under my blanket and open my window. It's not a far drop, but it's not going to be easy. Yet, after many close falls, I finally made it to the ground. I make my way around the back of the castle, where I'm less likely to be seen. Once I finally made it to the woods, let out a big sigh. Never in my life have I've been this glad to get out of the castle. You might be wondering what my secret lace is anyway. It's a small hole that I found underneath a big willow tree. The hole is more like small cave actually. I found it when I was around seven years old, and my family was having a picnic. But then the fight began our kingdom and the Riffen kingdom. I never why it started, but I never asked my parents. They basically became our mortal enemy and our kingdoms hated each other since then. Did I forget to mention that their kingdom is almost next to ours? The only thing separating us are these woods.

I slowly make my way inside, since there has been a couple of times that animals live here. Luckily, I found nothing, so I have a better chance to relax. Then, a scent hit me. It didn't smell like a perfume I would wear, but it smelled as if a boy had been here. I start to wonder who else comes here, but I heard footsteps outside and a voice. It sounds kind of high pitched, but could pass as a male voice. Not wanting to encounter whoever is there, I hide behind a thick root of the tree.

The person makes his/her way inside my cave. I then see who it is....

COREY

"My parents are so oblivious! I don't want to be the next king of our kingdom. I just want to be able to make music, perform songs, and hopefully meet my love one day." I say to myself as I enter my hideout. This small 'cave' has been my place to go to when I need to clear my head. But for the last few years, I've been wondering if someone else would come here. Sometimes I would catch a feminine scent, but I never saw anyone come. Well, at least when I come.

A few steps inside, and I hear a rustling noise. That's weird, usually it's very silent. Aside from a few animal noises here and there that is.

I start to look around to see if an animal was here, but nothing. But soon I see small movement behind a thick root. That's odd.

"Who's there?" I ask. I receiver no answer, but I heard a low mumble. "Who are you? Why are you here?" I keep asking. After a few seconds the silence was broken.

"I want to know the same thing. This is my place" I hear a girl say. Wait, WHAT?!

"Come out of the shadows. I can at least know how you look like." I tell her. She starts moving and into the dim light that comes from the opening. Once she is fully appeared, I instantly recognize her. Princess Laney of the Penn kingdom.

"So you're the reason why there's a feminine scent here sometimes."

" And you're the reason why there is sometimes a masculine scent too." She says. It can't be a coincidence that both of us come here, right?

"Well now it turns out that both of us come here to clear our thoughts. Never thought that a princess like you would." What the heck did I just say?

"So? What's wrong with that? From what I've been told, I never would have even GUESSED that you come here too. Idiot." I hear her whisper the last part. Dang, attitude much?

"I would love to keep our conversation going, but I'll be on my way now" I say. As I leave, I turn around and send a wink her direction. Well that was a fun encounter with the enemy.
