Chapter 4:

"You're coming with us. You're an heir with weird powers."

I awaken to a room that isn't mine. I get up in bed to find a mint colored bedroom with coral bed sheets and white furniture. Wow. Okay, so maybe it wasn't a dream. Hey, I'm not complaining, I like this room. I stand up and walk to the dresser with the mirror and find that new clothes and shoes have been placed there. A gray shirt and blue jeans have been left for me, along with gray vans at the corner of the dresser. I guess I'm expected to change. "What time is it?" I wonder aloud. I really hope it's not too late for breakfast.

I take off the dress nightie that was left for me yesterday in exchange for the jeans and shirt. I'm in the process of putting on my shoes when I hear a knock at the door.

"Come in!" I yell. A hispanic girl with brown hair and green eyes shyly comes in awkwardly.

"Hi, milady." She curtsies, "I'm Mary. I, um, the queen told me to introduce myself. I am your maid. As of today I am to assist you and only you." Mary manages a small smile, still not meeting my eye.

"Hey, look at me," I say softly. The poor thing looks miserable as she meets my eye. I pat the bed next to me and motion her to sit. "First off, you can call me Sky," she shakes her head but I lift my hand to stop her. "Yes, call me Sky, I don't like this whole princess thing. And secondly, be confident. You don't have to look at your feet every time you talk to me, okay?" She nods her head.

"Sky, the Queen also told me to take you shopping," Mary says, actually meeting my gaze. I smile at her, "Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

"Oh my gosh this would be so adorable on you!" Mary shouts at me, holding up a loose shirt with monkey on it. Apparently, she isn't so shy after all, she just needed time to get close to me.

"C'mon, let's go try these on. I tell her handing her a pile of clothes I'd seen her eyeing. Her already huge doe eyes got impossibly wider, "What no," she looks down, " I have no money."

"Oh please, I have money to spare according to this black card!" I tell her, flashing the card out with a smile. Ha, guess being a princess does have it's perks. "C'mon." I pull her with me to the dressing rooms.

After paying, we're starving. So we head out to the food court. I'm rummaging through my bag when I accidentally bump into someone. I look up into the most startling golden eyes I've ever seen. A black shirt that exposes his well defined chest. Damn, hellooo sexy. "I'm s-sorry." I stutter out.

He doesn't even acknowledge my apology, he just walks away. That went well.

"OH MY GOSH!" Mary shouts, making me turn towards her. "Do you have any idea who that was!" I shake my head causing her to shriek, "That was Jacob Night! He's like the most popular guy in school because he's so mysterious. No one knows much about him except that we works in the castle. No one knows what he does, though people suspect he's the Queens consort."

"Consort?" I ask her, confused.

She gets bright red, "Um, well you know, sleeps with the Queen."

"Ewwwwwww! Why would you tell me that! Ew, ew, ew. My innocent mind!" I shriek. Mary hits me on the shoulder and rolls her eyes, pulling me towards the line again. "C'mon, let's go eat."

***

We get home and Mary helps me put all my things away in the walk-in peach closet. When we're done it's about 11 p.m. and she leaves me alone to rest. My last coherent thought being; who exactly was the guy with the golden eyes?

***

So apparently this school has uniforms. In the morning, Mary got me up and showed me the hideous plaid shirt and red polo I was expected to wear. It's hideous and way too tight. Anyways, I'm sitting here in third period, the one before lunch, and obviously the high school sluts have managed to make the hideous outfit incredibly short and even more tight, if that's even possible. I swear, I could almost see her nipples peeking through, gross.

The bell rings and the entire class starts heading towards the cafeteria while I start towards my locker. Turning the corner of the hallway, I hear a grunt and at the end of the hallway I see Mary on the floor being kicked by the blonde chick I'd seen yesterday in the guest bedroom along with her posse. They're kicking her, insulting her, and knocking her down as she tries to get up, holding her arms over her face to lessen the blows. Oh hell no. No one messes with my friends.

As I get closer, I overhear the blonde hag yell at Mary, "You worthless piece of shit."

"Hey bitches, how the fuck is three against one any fair?" I yell making them look up at me, I'm right next to them now. The blonde hag looks up at me smirking. "Do you want some of this too?"

"Bring it on, hag." I say in the coldest voice possible. She takes a swing at me landing me hard in the jaw and smirks, turning around, she high fives her friends. I tap her lightly on the shoulder and smile at her as she turns around. I punch her hard on the nose as she falls to the ground, her hags from hell under her. Ouch, that hurt. I shake out the pain in my hand and give Mary a lift up. She opens her doe eyes wide, and points a finger behind me.

I turn and see the guy from the castle stalking toward us, red-faced. "What the fuck did you do?!" He yells at me, pushing me to the wall of lockers.

"Oh hell no, don't fucking touch me you little asshole, YOUR girlfriend was beating MY bestfriend, so if you would move to the fucking side before I give you the same fucking broken nose I gave her." I say, shoving him off of me. I give a quick look back to see him staring at me, I chuckle, "Sorry if you won't get to use her mouth for a while."

I pull Mary with me, and stalk towards the car grandma bought me for school. She starts to protest skipping school early until I glare at her.

"What is it about him that he feels that he can walk over everyone?" I ask aloud.

"Well his name is Elijah Reynolds, is the prince of France, and he's dating Serena, the blonde chick, second in line for the throne of England." Mary pipes up.

My eyes grow huge, "What?"

Mary rolls her eyes, "I said, he's the prin-" I interrupt her. "No I got that, but Serena is a royal?"

Mary nods. "Only because she got adopted by the Queen's advisor." she says begrudgingly.

"Well shit, I just attacked a royal, and gave her a broken nose. C'mon let's get home and have my grandma scream at me." I say tiredly.

A/N: So I might write in different POV. Either Elijah, or Erick (guy she bumped into at the mall) for the next chapter, any opinions?
