A/N:My first foray into Kingdom Keepers (my FAVORITE book series!) fics.

I have always wanted to write a story as compelling and brilliant as Ridley Pearson's Kingdom Keepers. But he owns 'em. Sadly. And The Fray owns How to Save a Life!


How to Save a Life

Amanda Lockhart was what you would call a happy person. Good grades, confidence, not popular, but overall well-liked. Her days flowed like a river placidly rolling down a hill. On the outside.

Amanda knew that she and her sister Jess had what most people don't. Both of them were witches. With extraordinary power. They were also what you would call today princesses. But their realm was not what you would normally consider correct. They had been made years ago, by Walt Disney himself, as sort of superheroes to save Disney World and the characters within it. She had known the first fact, the witch part, for as long as she could remember. The princess part, well, let's just say only you and I know that right now.

A month ago, Finn Whitman entered her life. Albeit in the awkward circumstance of him flipping over while doing sit ups and crashing into her… Finn. Leader of the DHIs against the Overtakers. Finn. Her best friend. Finn and the other DHIs, Philby, Willa, Charlene, and Maybeck, saved Disney World from Maleficent and other Overtakers, including Amanda's own sister, going under the name of Jez or Jezebel. Finn had freed her twin sister from Maleficent just two days ago. Amanda hadn't been allowed to go to school for those two days. Her parents made her stay home because of a dumb virus. Throwing up was not fun at all. But Finn…. She had left him hanging. Surely he wasn't so dense… She needed to tell him everything. He needed to know the full truth of her powers. So, she started to write a note…

Finn read the note he had found in his locker again. And again. Amanda was back! She was asking him to meet him at the monorail in Magic Kingdom that afternoon.

He found her there. She wasn't that hard to miss, considering he had been looking for her for the past three days at school. She smiled as he walked up to her and they casually found an empty compartment in the train. "So…" Finn began awkwardly.

"Finn, look. It's time you knew the full truth. I'm a… witch, and so is Jess. I know I seemed mean and cruel and you probably don't want to talk to me. And… I mean… I don't think it would have really helped anything if I had told you and you must understand, I'm not used to trusting just anyone with this and…"

"It's okay," Finn interjected quickly. "Amanda, I understand. And I was wrong to treat you the way I did. Sorry."

Amanda smiled. "Thanks."

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life


Let me know what you think! And I'm open to song suggestions!
