In the kingdom of Cerevian, the king has just passed away, leaving the princes to return from their journey. While passing through a small town, a low-class commoner girl happens to speak up, insulting the eldest with her opinionated views. If not for the youngest prince, her life would have most likely taken on a turn for the worst, but now that he's taken an interested in the opinionated girl, it may just be worse than it could have been. But while she deals with that, the three princes are forced to act to perfection, being closely monitored, all starting with a ridiculously prejudiced party. But it's never fun when all they have to do is act good, especially when the youngest already acts almost to perfection. So when he throws in an unexpected variable, nothing good can come of it. Note: This story is written in a different style. It's written from four different POV in first person, so I'll definitely try and make the voices distinct. Also, I know I have lots of errors; please bear with me.

What's the worst that could happen if you hit your head: a scar? humiliation? Hah, you guys have it easy. You see, a while ago, I made the mistake of taking a midnight excursion in the town cemetery, which, sadly, is my hangout of choice. I ended up on the run from a couple of psychos who thought they were demon hunters. Trying to save my ass, I knocked myself out when my skull collided with a tree limb. When I came to, I was surrounded by ghosts. Not the cool, horror-movie types. No, I got stuck with the lame, flirty, obnoxious ones. Being the trouble-magnet that I am, I'd somehow fulfilled an age-old prophecy, and the title of 'Keeper' was thrust upon me. So now, I have to deal with ghosts, killer migraines, other creatures of the night AND school!! Great! The question remains: Will I ever get to live a normal-ish life again? Will the undead stop being so annoying? Why was I chosen in the first place? And why am I making my life sound like a cheesy sit-com? Well, I, Riverbrook Simons, Keeper of the Somerville Cemetery, invite you to the town of Somerville, where all the weird stuff happens. Welcome to my not-so-ordinary teenage life. Happy haunting!
