The Royal Castaway

Chapter 2

Joe's POV

Second period calculus was the worst. First, because I had Weasel for a teacher and second, we had pop quizzes that made my brain actually go pop!

'Shut up and sit down delinquents!'
There goes my favorite teacher in the whole world. Weasel was smiling and by smiling, I mean devilishly smirking! Uh oh, that's not good.

'Time for a quiz, don't you think?'
I knew it! Why did he suck the joy out of life? Maybe no one hugged him as a child, yeah that must be it.

As the paper was placed, well more like slapped onto my desk I noticed Weasel staring at me weird. What was his deal?

'How was your weekend sir? What's with the new hairstyle, did the wig shop have a sale?'
Could you blame me, he seemed to have sprout a bush of black hair on top of his usually bald head. That wasn't the only thing I noticed, he seemed to have grown taller and had lost some of his flabby stomach. Huh, maybe he finally heard of the word fitness, not bad.

'Very funny Ms Santos but I think you should concentrate on your quiz, you never know what you'll get.' he implied.

Oh no he didn't! Nobody threatens Jonelle Santos and gets away with it. I'll rip off that wig from his head if I have to.

I tried focusing on the test, I really did but with every scanning look Weasel gave me I was seriously considering chucking his gibberish paper at him. But something was different about him that's for sure. The Weasel I knew didn't give me anymore attention than a worm underneath his shoe. If it weren't for class attendance, he wouldn't have talked to me even if his life depended on it. We were tight like that.

When the bell finally decided to ring, I jumped up, packed my things into my bag and charged my way to the nearest exit.

'Jonelle Santos, do you have a minute?' the now almost deep voice of the executioner rang behind me.
So close. The others took that as warning and ran out leaving me with the monster,well all except my charming stepsister Carina. Probably trying to witch her way in a good grade cause she had more nose hair than brain cells and that was saying something.

'Mr Wessly , you do know I would do anything for an A right?' she said in a suggestively low tone.
She even leaned closer to him for more effect.

'Anything you say?' replied Weasel in an even more suggestive tone.
Carina nodded fluttering her eyelashes. Oh somebody give me a barf bag.

'Would you ... Study?' he asked.
To say I was shocked was an understatement but nothing beat the priceless look on Carina's face.

'Now out with you before I lose my patience Ms Santos.'

Way to make her speechless. I couldn't help but stare at Carina as she passed by shoving me aside in process. Oh, she total deserved it. I almost forgot that I still had to face his weaselness until a voice scared the hell out of me.
' Finally the damn witch is gone. Man, does she shower in cologne or something? Ugh! '

Turning back slowly I was met a  broad chest were Weasel's face should have been. I my head a bit and regretted it as soon as I saw the unworldly, unbelievably...handsome face in front of me. I was officially breathtaken, I am pretty sure that's not a word but eeh, until I realized that I had forgotten to breathe.

'Am I in heaven?' I asked deliriously.

'You wish,'the mystery guy snorted,' I'm here to take you with me kiddo.'

' Excuse me? Do I look like a kid to you? Dude you must be just two years older no need to brag.'
The nerve of some people, how dare he?

' Seriously out of everything I said that's all you got?' he asked.

' Wait a minute, you are here to take me with you? So this is like a kidnapping? '

'Sure, if you want to call it that but I refer to it as teleporting or jumping but hey they can't all be winners.' he commented

'Did you just say teleporting? How?'

'Easy. Let me introduce myself. The name's Julian, shape-shifting and teleporting vampire extraordinaire' he took a bow just to add to the drama.

'Vampire? Right, then I'm a mermaid.' I scoffed. Kidnapping was really getting odd this days.

'Your sarcasm is not appreciated young lady.'

'Lets just get on with it man, this is getting pathetic,' I retorted 'and by the way if you are expecting a ransom then you're lost Julian.'

There was no way Eugenia and Xavier were going to pay it. I had a feeling that they would have sent a thank you card instead.

'Kid I already got paid or else I wouldn't be here. I know it's not my place to ask but why are you not run away like all humans do when they are in a hundred feet of me?' his beautiful face gave nothing away.

'Well judging by the way you look I wouldn't get away even if I tried. You'd have me down in seconds so why bother and also I'm pretty lazy.' I said.

'You are no fun kiddo but pretty smart. Hope you don't take this personally cause I've been paid to do this so no hard feelings, okay kid?' he had a small smirk on his face as he said this.

Being that cute should be made illegal, seriously. I know what you're all thinking,
Jonelle have you gone mad, this Julian guy wants to kidnap you and all you can think about is how cute he is?
I know this risky but it's my only chance to get away from Eugenia so I'll take it.

'You ready for the craziest ride of your life?' the smirk Julian had on his face scared me a little...okay a lot.

'Um I'm not really...'

I didn't even get to finish my sentence when he suddenly appeared next to me with a strong grip on my hand.

'Wrong answer kid.' he snickered.

Suddenly my focus got all blurry and the room started spinning. That's when I started falling into a pitch black abyss of nothingness. Well death here I come.
