The Golden Door

Jo-Ann Paris Doyle

By the time Alienor woke up her alarm clock was blaring in her ears. She groggily sat up and rubbed her eyes and reached over to the clock turning it off and holding her head

"I'm glad you turned that off I wasn't sure how to"

Alienor jumped back a little hitting her head on the wall

"Great now not only do I have a headache but now I'm probably going to have a bump on my head!"

She sighed wishing that meeting The Prince was a dream but it wasn't and there was nothing she could do about it

"Look I know you don't want me here but I seriously need your help"

Christian waited for a answer but after a few seconds he realised he wasn't going to get one

" Hey so why did you have that alarm thingy"

"I have School today so I need you to leave my room so I can change..."

Christian jumped up, or so Alienor guessed she hadn't looked at him yet

"I can help with that I can use just a bit of 'magic'. just tell me your preferred style and I can quickly just put some clothes on you, but Hygiene and your hair is up to you"

Alienor got up and turned a knob on a white monitor, getting annoyed when it kept clicking

"Look I don't need your help with anything I barely know who you are I only have your name I'm surprised that I'm not freaking out right now"

She opened the door leading into a hallway and walking to the bathroom, not hearing Christian following her and smiled a little to herself hoping he would leave her alone

"Alienor is that you?"

"Yes mum Im getting in the shower, why?"

"Nothing it's just your father left last night and didn't come back I thought you were him"

Alienor hummed in response not really knowing what to say and locked the door quickly getting in the shower

Christian was looking around Alienor's room wondering if she wanted him to look a specific way or should go with a random look

"At times like this I wish Lucinda was here with me... Maybe I would've have already gotten Alienor into our world by now"

Christian looked in the mirror admiring his pale skin accompanied by his brown hair and blue eyes and a tiny scar on his left cheek

"Alienor talked about school so I should enroll myself in and get in the same classes as her that way we can 'bond' "

After a few minutes Alienor walked in with her hair wet and dressed in a vest top and some shorts

"Why are you still here?"

"Like I said I need your help so until you agree I will be hanging around here with you and Im now enrolling in your school!"

"What do you even need my help with why is this so important?"

Alienor Finally looked up and looked at Christians appearance

"And why do you have a scar on your cheek.."

He sighed and thought about the best way to tell her this without scaring her off

"Well it's when I got attacked when I left home not long ago trying to get here there was beast of some sorts Im not sure on how to tell you the details but I killed it-"

"Hold on, you killed something!"

"Well, yes I had to or else I would've died, something has happened in our world the creatures used to be peaceful and worked with us but something had happened and they all want to kill us and we're not sure on what's causing it"

"And how am I supposed to help?"

"Well we think Jo-Ann Paris Doyle is responsible and apparently she is apart of your blood-line"

"My parents or anyone else of my family have spoken about them before... How is she related to me if everyone in my family is here?"

"I'll tell you everything if you promise to help us, deal?"

"Deal."

Christian smiled and went on to tell Alienor about her bloodline and about his world while Alienor got dressed to school and asked a few questions every now and then
