Chapter 3: Rescue Mission

Kiara's POV

WE QUICKLY pulled into his driveway. We had come up with a plan, that wasn't the best, but it'll do.

So pretty much we knew Julie would come here after the party if she didn't find us since I had told her that Ryan would be there. So anyway, the plan was to say me and Ryan were watching movies the whole time. While his mother was asleep. His parents had divorced before me and Julie had moved here, and didn't really want to push for details.

We quickly set up the the TV and placed the first movie we could find inside Ryan's Xbox 360. As the movie started playing, Ryan fixed himself some popcorn --without sharing-- and settled down for the movie. It turns out that Ryan's little brother had been playing around with all the movies and switching the discs cases, so when we thought we were going to watch Captain America, with the ultimate hotty Chris Evans, but we got the Lion King instead. But neither one of us complained.

When didn't get that far in the movie till someone was knocking loudly at Ryan's door. Figuring it was Julie I got up and got ready to leave.

When I opened the door I was dead wrong. There wasn't a woman standing in the door frame, but a man. He looked down at me with black eyes .... Where else had I seen this odd colour before?

"Kiara?" He asked gently. It didn't fit his features.

"Mmhmm. Who are you?" My suspicion and curiosity was flying.

"Good good, " he curled his lips in manor that probably didn't happen a lot on his hard, cold face. "And my names Andrew. My son, Cecil, said he thought there was something wrong when you left the party."

Taken by surprise and now somewhat weirded out, like why would a young man send his father after me?

"Um no I'm fine, thanks. I'm with my friend. " I shifted uncomfortable. I didn't like this man. "Plus my mum is on her way over." I added to reassure him and me.

"Is she? Well my son said you left the party about an hour ago, you'd think your mum would be here?"

What a prick!

"Um well I'm fine waiting for her."I said as I tried to shut the door, but he stuck out his foot at the last second.

"Remember, I'm not one of the people you want to piss off." He said it so casually, but I could still hear the power behind it. I felt a shiver run down my spine, this man was beyond weird, he was creepy. Closing the door I watched him enter his car, but before he entered he stopped and stared at me through the blurry door window. My eyes grew and I rushed back to where Ryan sat.

"Who was that?" He confused that I had not left.

" Oh it was no one. I think it might've just been the wind." I shrugged. I was afraid to tell Ryan.

"You couldn't pause it?" I asked pointing at the Lion King. He was at the part where Simba was talking to Scar after he caught a mouse.

"Ha ha nope!" He replied popping the "p". I was glad we had changed the subject. I made a mental note to lock all windows and doors.

The more we watched the Lion King, the more Scar reminded me of Andrew and Cecil. It was like they were undercover and I was helpless Simba who couldn't do anything about it since he was just a link cub.

Great. I just related my life to the Lion King along with a cub.

Later there was a doorbell ring, and I made Ryan get it. I didn't want to anymore black eyes.

"Kiara, Julie's here." He shouted. He didn't even care that his family was asleep.

"Coming."

I made my way over to the furious Julie. She probably would've looked prettier if her eyebrows weren't pulled together and her dirty blonde wasn't in a messy bun.

"Hi. " I said once I stepped close enough.

"Hmm." She smiled sarcastically.

"Well seeya Kay." Ryan said as both me and Julie had an awkward silence.

AS I ENTERED MY HOUSE,
Julie pretty much snapped as if she weren't allowed to say anything but in this house.

"Really?" Was all she said as she had me pinned in the corner of the kitchen. I stayed quiet, but she took it as a sign to continue.

"How many times have I told you not go out for parties, drinks, drugs or guys?!" Her face wrinkled in disappointment and disgust. Ouch.

"Well I feel like I'm being trapped in this house! My birthdays coming up, I want to do things! Go places!" I yelled back. I was sick of not being able to do anything like normal teenagers at seventeen.

"Your trapped here for your safety! People are coming for you, especially during your eighteenth birthday!" As soon as the words left her mouth, mine fell open. Realizing what she had just said she covered up her mouth in shock.

"What?" All my anger and insults I was building up crumble down. He simple words saying "People were coming for me" excited and scared me.

Signing, she continued knowing it was to late to take back what she had said. "I'm here to guard you. Protect you till the rightful king comes for you. You have royal blood flowing through your veins. Your like a power to them. "

"Protect me ..." I said, not meaning to out loud. I was still putting the puzzle pieces together.

"Yes. And these months and weeks are dangerous." She continued.

"Why?" I tried to search her eyes to see if this was a sick joke, or if it was a messed up dream that I had passed out at the party.

"Because the King isn't the only one searching for you. "
