A Royal Love: Royals of Solniana

Chapter three

I open my eyes again to see that I'm not in the garden anymore. I stand up –I was lying down for some reason- and look around me. What is this place? I'm on a road, but there's nowhere any buildings. I don't see any trees or bushes. I start walking and smile when I see a big tree in the distance. I walk towards it and smile even more when I see a group off animals. I go over the fence and walk towards them.

My smile disappears when I see a man hurting one of the animals. I walk towards him. "What are you doing? You're hurting him!" He let's go of the animal and looks at me. "What are you doing here!? This is private property!" "That doesn't matter! Why are you hurting him!?" "That's none of your business, leave!" "I'm not leaving! How can you treat that poor animal like that!?" "Enough, I'm calling the police!" He says walking away.

"No, you're not!" I say while I put my arm up. "What's happening!? Why can't I move!?" The man asks panicking. I walk to him and stop in front of him. He panics even more when he sees my now golden hair and my golden eyes. "Who are you!? What are you!?" "That doesn't matter right now. I want to know why you hurt that animal." I say calmly. "Why do you care so much, it's your food." "Do not call him 'it'! I know that he's food! Every living creature is food for another, that's the circle of live! I care because you have no right to hurt him, he's a living creature just like you!"

I look at the animal and then back at the man. "With what did you hurt him?" "A knife." "Give it to me." He sighs deeply and hands the knife to me. "Thank you." I say smiling. He calms down and looks at me. I stop smiling and walk to the animal. I kneel down and look at the animal. "Are you alright?" The animal looks at me. "I'll be back." I say to the animal and walk back the man.

"He asked me to hurt you." "What? It's an animal it can't talk!" I look angry at him. "I thought I told you not to call him an 'it' and he can talk." I look at the knife that the man gave me, it's bloody. "Y-You're not going to stab me, are you?" He asks afraid. I look at the animal and then back at him. "You deserve it." "No!"

I drop the knife and look at my dress. "Amazing, my dress is covered in blood!" I put my hands above my head and concentrate. I slowly move my hands down and look at my clean dress when I'm finished. I look at the man, who's now lying on the ground. "Even when you're dead, you're a pain."

I walk to the animal and kneel down. "I'm sorry you had to see that." The animal lies down and looks at me. "So, you're a sheep? Interesting." I caress his head while I look at his wounds. "Stay still." He looks at me and doesn't move. I put my hands on his wound and close my eyes. I feel him tense under my hands and after a while he relaxes again. I open my eyes and smile when I look at the now healed wound. "I did it! I healed you!"

-Jack's POV-

I was watching television, when Laure ran to me and sits down next to me. She takes the remote out of my hands and zaps to another channel. "Hey! I was watching that!" "You have to see this!" "Laure, give me the remote." "Jack, look." I sigh and look at the television.

"Everybody is still shocked after what happened here on this peaceful piece of land. As you all know, the farmer that owned the place, was murdered today." The news reporter says to the camera. I look back at Laure. "Someone was killed? Why? What happened?" "Some woman walked to him this morning and told him he had to stop hurting his sheep. He told her that he would call the police and she froze him. After freezing him, she killed him." "She froze him? How?" "I don't know, nobody knows. All we know is that her hair and eyes changed colour. They both turned golden."

"I see that you already heard about the murder." Laure's father says when he enters the room. "Yes, I do. What are you going to do about it?" Laure answers. "We're going to search this woman of course!" He walks to her. "Do you want to look how I lead a search party?" She smiles very big. "Really?" He smiles. "Of course, now come on." She looks at me. "I'll see you later, Jack." She stands up and walks away. He looks at me. "Your friend is looking for you, Jackson." "Okay, I'll go find him then." I say standing up. "Yeah, do that, friendship is precious." He says walking away.

That was the king, king William. He's the father of Laure and my uncle. I don't really know him that well and his wife, Luna, either. My parents are prince Matthew and princess May; I really love them. They're good parents.

My name is Jackson but my parents and friends call me 'Jack'. I don't have any siblings, just like Laure. Maybe that's why we're so close. Laure is the oldest of us. My mother always tells me that we loved each other from the very start. She told me that when I wasn't born yet, Laure wanted to be close to her so she would be close to me. When I was a baby, my aunt had to take her away from my crib all the time.

'Laure' is how I call her, he real name is 'Lauretta' and she's the crown princess. One day, she'll be the queen and I know that she'll be a good queen.

I've one friend outside the castle, Ryan. I've known him for a long time too, actually. He doesn't have any siblings either. And no parents. He never knew his parents, I find that really sad and I'm grateful that I know my both parents. His mother died shortly after giving birth to him and his father... Well, we don't know what happened to him. We don't know if he's dead or still alive. The only thing that we know is that he was the man who killed the previous king, my grandfather.
