Author's Note: Hey, people. This is NOT my first fanfic, but it IS my first fanfic on the Fan Fiction website. Please review! I need feedback to work!

Welcome to My Side of the River

Sonya

Alexa's POV

I walked down the hallway, carrying the Prince's breakfast. I had to be careful not to spill it, because if I did, I would get in MAJOR trouble with Their Majesties.

My name is Alexa. I am fourteen years old, and am about five foot four. I have long blond hair, green eyes, and pale skin. Some say I have a fragile beauty, though I am far from delicate.

I am Prince Iggy's personal servant. Their Majesties, King Jeb and Queen Valencia, had taken pity on me when I was six. I had just lost my parents, and was homeless. They had allowed me to live in the palace.

Prince Iggy, like most of his siblings, was adopted by the King and Queen. He is fourteen, like me, with red hair, icy blue eyes, and pale skin. He is two inches taller than me, and his favorite pastime is building bombs.

Crown Princess Max is fifteen. She is the King's biological daughter, and is dating Crown Prince Fang. She's tall, tan, blond, and has brown eyes. She is the leader of the Royal Siblings.

Crown Prince Fang was also adopted. He's dating Princess Max, and really loves her. He is literally Mr. Tall, Dark, and Silent. Prince Fang is fifteen, like Princess Max.

Princess Ella is thirteen. She is also the King's biological daughter, and is Princess Max's sister. She has tan skin, dark brown eyes, and brown hair. She is the peacekeeper.

Princess Nudge is twelve. She loves fashion, and is almost always talking. Princess Nudge was adopted also. She is five foot even, with mocha skin. Her long brown hair had a white streak near the front.

Prince Gazzy (Don't ask) is eight. He is Princess Angel's biological brother, with blond hair, blue eyes, and a very mischievous nature. He almost loves building bombs as much as Prince Iggy does.

Princess Angel is six. She is Prince Gazzy's sister, and has very similar features. She loves fashion, like Princess Nudge.

The Royal Siblings have an unusual ability. With the exception of Princess Ella, they all have wings. A group of witches and wizards called Itex had experimented on them, making them part bird. Princess Max had super speed, a Voice in her head that helped her out in difficult situations, and could breathe underwater. Prince Fang could turn invisible, and also breathe underwater. Prince Iggy had Telekinesis, and could control water. Princess Nudge could draw metal to her, and sense things about people from inanimate objects. Prince Gazzy had his, ah, ability to knock out anyone when he passes gas. Princess Angel could read minds, talk to fish, turn into a bird about her size, AND breathe underwater. The kingdom DID know about this, and was totally fine with it.

I reached Prince Iggy's room. Carefully, I juggled the breakfast tray on my left hand, and knocked on the door with my right.

"Who is it?" Prince Iggy called.

"It's me, Your Highness. May I enter?"

"Alexa? Sure, come in. Do you have my breakfast?"

I cautiously opened the door. The Prince was sitting at his desk, reading a newspaper. As usual, my heart skipped a beat when I saw him. I couldn't let anyone know about my forbidden crush, because if anyone found out, I'd be fired.

"I do." I set the tray down next to him.

"Alexa, do you know anything about this?" He pushed the paper towards me.

Nyx Strikes Again, the headline blared. Nyx was a superhero of sorts. She also had wings, and goes around saving people in trouble. Their Majesties had been trying to track her down for a while, to recruit her for their army, to no avail.

What they didn't know was that Nyx had been living under their roof since she was six.
