Duty Calls (Justin Bieber)

The next day was hectic. I was woken up at the brink of dawn to pack. I could only pack a small backpack of clothes. It didn't matter if It was a backpack or a whole suitcase, because most of my clothes were far to formal for the human world.

There was a jet waiting outside the palace for me, on the grass field.

My mother, Nicholas and Joseph were waiting there for me. I stopped and turned to Pedro,

"Are you coming?" I asked. "I mean, will you be around? In the USA?"

Pedro nodded his head, "I'll be around. I won't be with you, but I will be close by, at all times"

I was confused, "Why not? I mean it would be safer for me if you were with me"

He didn't answer me, when he nodded his head and said 'okay' I figured he had been listening to somebody speaking in his earpiece.

"We need to leave now, Princess."

I nodded once and turned back to the jet.

Joseph was standing behind mother and Nicholas now.

"You have to leave now" Mother said as we approached.

"Okay" I said simply.

"Stay safe" Mother hugged me tightly, and whispered I love you into my ear. Mother is never one to show public affection, but I mean she couldn't NOT do it.

I noted what she said and told her I would be safe. Especially with Pedro around, even if he wasnt going to be right behind me the whole time.

The plane ride to the USA was longer than I initially thought it would be. Both Nicholas and Joseph had come with us. Joseph because he could tell me what to do when I got there, as I would be alone. Technically. Nicholas came to tell me how I was going to use my powers to my advantage.

"What if that doesn't work" I asked. "What if the humans have some sort of immunity over our powers?"

Nicholas sighed exasperatedly whereas Joseph and Pedro both laughed.

"Princess I've already told you, at least 10 times. The humans don't have power over us"

I wasn't convinced.

"He's right Princess. Humans are helpless against our charm" Joseph smirked and I found myself smiling dumbly at him.

"Well you better be going now" Nicholas intervined. "There's a car waiting outside the plane for you and Pedro. It will take you to New York and you both will part ways there."

I was terrified of Pedro leaving me all alone in a city - and country - I knew absolutely nothing about.

"Don't worry, Princess. I'll be around" Pedro comforted. Pedro had this thing, he was a Charlaton. He could see people's aura's. Without even being told, he could sense how you were feeling. Every Princess or Prince was assigned one. It was so that if people were to be hanging around the Princess or Prince, the Charlaton could see their every mood, and would be able to sense any danger. Kings and Queens were assigned with the mindreaders and phsycics. Mindreaders and phsycics offered a more direct, quick protection that Charlaton's did not offer.

Nicholas made some sort of attempt to hug me, but it was miserably awkward. When he moved away from me, Joseph engulfed me in a big bear hug. "Stay safe Matylda." He whispered into my ear.

"I will" I murmered.

"I'll make sure I'm here to pick you up in a few months"

I nodded my head and rested it against his shoulder, I felt safe.
