I let out a high pitched C scream that I'm pretty sure even my neighbors heard. What the hell was Jean doing in my room! Danny was there immediately with his wand out. His wand was made of blue seashells. I ran and hugged Danny burying my face into his stomach and pointed at the figure now standing in my bedroom.
"Who the fuck are you!" Danny hardly ever screams, let alone swear unless hes really ticked off. "and what are you doing in my Baby Sister's room!?"
Jake came in next.
"Holy shit! He really is stalking you!" Jake said in disbelief while getting his wand out. His wand was composed of flower vines running up a tree branch.
"Wait!" Jean said hurriedly. "I can explain! I'm part of the imperial guard and I'm here to protect the princess! Your highnesses, I am Jean Jacques of the Elfen clan and I swear my life to the Princess of Euden!"
Mom and Dad finally came in. "Sweetie, you okay!" Mom said rushing over to me. Dad saw Jean and his face was a bit surprised.
"Mom, Dad, this guy from my class is stocking me!!!" I said.
Dad cleared his throat. "Um honey..." he began. Oh no, something told me this was not ganna be good. "We really were going to tell you but whenever we tried talking about the clan you and Jake just stop listening so we never got around to telling you three." My body froze and my hands dropped from Danny. Danny and Jake both looked paralyzed. I looked Dad straight in the eye.
"What....what do you mean?" I asked carefully. "You don't mean that I really some mage clan princess even though I can't do magic. And you don't mean that Danny and Jake are princes. And you deffinetely don't mean that you and mom are the king and queen of the clan we are from..."
"Actually, honey, that's...um That's pretty much it..." he said carefully.
Danny was still paralyzed and Jakes mouth looked like it could drop open to the floor. I sat down in my bed staring into space. Ugh! A PRINCESS. I screamed in my mind finally letting it click. Now I'm never going to be a normal girl!!!!!!!!! Especially with that stupid bodyguard guy. Hes the one who started this whole thing. He ruined my life!
"Fine." I said pretending to go along with the whole thing. "As long as this guy leaves NOW."
"Honey..."Mom began "We can't do that either...We need you guarded at all times now that you're older and going to awaken soon probably."
"But Mooom" I whined. Normal girls don't have body guards, is that too hard for her to get? And I'm not ganna awaken. I just know it. I haven't till now so its probably not ganna happen. I can't believe they are still in the denial phase.
"It's a bit complicated but Jean can't return home so easily."
"Uh hum" Jean said clearing his throat. "If you will allow me to explain." Jean requested.
"Of course." Mom said.
"My clan won't take me back. If I fail to protect you then my I get beheaded. Its an honor for me to be protecting you. I can't simply just go back. And I've worked all my life, training hard hours just to get the position of protecting you, dear princess."
"Can't you just tell them I ordered it?" I said.
"I'm afraid that won't work. I serve you till you've acquired the throne." He said like it was obvious.
"UGH." I said, finally letting out my frustration. "I'm not letting you follow me around. No matter what." I said stubbornly. "If your not leaving I will! I'm going to be a normal girl." I said and stormed out of the room.
"Caramell" I heard Danny call but I just kept going.
My parents are so unreasonable. First they never tell me were some royal clan family and I have an annoying body guard who won't leave me alone. At this rate I'll never be a normal girl.
Tears started to build up in my eyes and threatened to pour out. I ran outside of the house. I kept running and running letting my feet carry me. I ended up at the play ground. I sat at a swing and let my tears flow out. I sobbed outloud. Why is the world so against the one thing I want most? Why me? "Stupid parents. Stupid Jean. Stupid Royal family crap. I can't do magic and I don't want to be a princess." I sobbed. "I just, I just want to be a normal girl!" and I sobbed up a storm. Then I sighed. Then there was a rustle in the bushes. "Whats that" I said to myself. Luckily the full moon was out so I could see. I got up into a karate position ready to fight whatever came at me. Then I thought about how Mom and dad probably made me take karate cause I was a princess. Being a princess, you'd have to be able to defend yourself somehow, especially if you can't cast magic. Wait no way, I'm letting this princess stuff get to my head. I closed my eyes and shook my head. Concentrate, Caramell, Concentrate. I opened my eyes and refocused on the bush. Out of the bush came a figure. I didn't risk the wait and immediately threw a kick, but the figure blocked it. Not bad. I quickly threw a few more consecutive punches until my oppenet fell down. I quickly got on top of the figure and pinned them down. Ha! I'm no one you wanna mess with. But just as quickly, before I could make out the features of the person, they flipped me over and pinned me down. I kicked and screamed. How did this happen? The person ended up having to lay down on top of me in order to keep me down. It was a guy, I realized embarrassed.
"PRINCESS!" the person yelled directly into my ear. Owww. I think my ears broken. "PRINCESS!" screamed the voice again. I froze.
"Jean?" I asked weakly.
"Finally." He said and got up off me. "Ive been trying to get you to stop kicking me but you don't ever seem to listen." He said getting up and wipeing himself off. I noticed he wasn't so stoic and he looked annoyed while checking his arm to see if it was bruised. It made me a bit happy for some reason. I half sat up staring at him not knowing how to react. Gawd, I was really pissed, I decided. Then he held out his hand. I smacked it away and got up myself. He huffed.
"Here's your jacket ms. Princess." He seemed completely different from before. More...normal and definitely more annoying. Then I realized I was shaking because it was so cold out.
"Thanks but no thanks." I said stubbornly and started walking home. I need to get away from him I decided. "Wait!" Jean called. I was sooo not stopping. "Wait!" he called and ran towards me catching up. I stopped.
"What do you want! Can't you just leave me alone. I just want to be a goddamn NORMAL GIRL. All this mage stuff makes my head spin and I can't do any of it. Seriously, I can't cast a single spell, so why? Why me! I just, I just want to be a normal girl.." I broke out into sobs again. Ugh! I thought I was out of tears. Crying in front of Jean was so embarrising. Jean sighed. He put the jacket around my shoulders. I wanted to move away but I was too busy sobbing.
"Here, don't want you catching a cold now."
I sniffled." Thanks." I said weakly and reluctantly. He started to walk away.
"Wait!" I said. Why am I stopping him? "Where...where are you going?" I asked confused. He gave me a small smile and continued to walk away saying.
"I can't go against my orders but I promise. I promise to try and help you make your dream come true. A normal girl is it? A normal girl..." I stared at his back until he disappeared. Geez. Really if he weren't so annoying. I'd probably say hes cool.
I walked back home feeling a bit better, although I was still cold and my cheecks were wet with tears. I walked in quietly and went upstairs. Everyone was already asleep knowing I'd come back. I sighed. Sometimes I wished they'd worry a little more but what can you do. I creeped up the stairs to the bathroom and washed my face. I then opened the bathroom closet and got out and wore my spare pajamas: black shorts that said "shake it" on the butt and a white tank that hugged my curves. I yawned clipped my hair up and brushed my teeth lazily. Then I got out of the bathroom and flipped the switch off. I navigated my way to my bedroom in the dark and got to my bed. I took the clip out and put it on my nightstand and got snug under my covers. I replayed the scene with Jean saying he'd help me be a normal girl over and over in my head again until I drifted into half sleep. "Jean Promise?....." I muttered in my sleep. "Promise" came a reply and I fell into deep sleep.
