This is my first fanfic ad I hope you enjoy. I am certain I can get better. I am 13 years old now so I am a boring teenager with nothing to do except stare at a computer screen all day. Hopefully there will be a chapter every 3 or 4 days. With that aside, here is the story...
Her life after...
As Luxa lay in bed she thought of how she was the past four years... not good. She had trained to keep her mind away from her thoughts but she just could not figure how to get her thoughts just to go away. She was in the middle in serious thought about Gregor when there was a commotion outside. She turned to see Vikus slowly get up. "Luxa! Get Hazard! You two are going to Virginia. Mrs Cormaci contacted Gregor's parents. She will 'drive' you there," said Vikus.
"Why?" she asked giving Vikus a confused look.
"The cutters are upon us. We are evacuating Regalia to a hidden place in the uncharted lands. It is very fertile though it is a very long trip. We will leave a small colony to take you to the place when we are able to stay there. Now get Hazard!"
Her heart started beating so fast it could pop out of her chest. The cutters are here? This is not good. Regalia could fall at the hands of the cutters and all could be lost. "Hazard! We need to go! The cutters are here! Wake up!" she exclaimed.
"Where are we going?" asked a sleepy Hazard.
"To Virginia," she said.
It took Luxa a little while to get ready because she wanted to get some of the 'photos' she had from The War of Time. As she walked the corridors she thought of Gregor. He probably moved on to another girl and had forgotten about Luxa. She hoped it wasn't the case and he would still hope to see her again. She has been getting pressure from the council to pick someone to marry. She refused all the men that the council presented her. It was too hard to pick a suitor because she couldn't let Gregor go.
"Luxa! Hazard! Hurry! called Vikus.
"We're here," said Hazard and Luxa at the same time.
Luxa and Hazard flew up on Aurora and Vikus flew on Euripedes. The flight was uneventful save the cutters at the north wall... There were so many! There had to be ten thousand, maybe more! When she reached the laundry grate her heart started racing. She had never been in the Overland before and she didn't know how to react to the different dangers.
Aurora broke the silence and said, "this is our farewell. I hope we can see each other again when Regalia is a safer place."
"I hope to see you again, too, Aurora. Be safe," and this may be the very last time she spoke to her friend ever again.
"I hope to see you again, too, Luxa. I think Gregor would be more than willing to let you and Hazard into his family," a weary Vikus said.
And with that she stepped into the 'laundry room'.
At first all she noticed was the blinding light and second she saw a lady that looked around 65 looking at her. She jumped back slightly startled. She noticed that Hazard did too. Both were slightly spooked. The woman smiled and said, "I see you did not quite expect me. Come on now. We must make haste to Virginia."
"Are you Mrs Cormaci?" she asked.
"Yes, I am. Now come on," she said.
The ride to Virginia was uneventful and boring. Her thoughts drifted to Gregor. Would he be happy to see her? Of course he would. But the big question was if Gregor had finally moved on found another girl to... What was it called? A date? Yes, date is the word he used. She smiled slightly at the memory where she blushed when Gregor used the term 'date' to get past Howard.
Except for bathroom breaks and to go and get snacks they never got out of the machine called a 'car'. They were coming up on a small farm and house when Mrs Cormaci said,"Welcome to your temporary home. Until the Underland is safe for you again this is your home." It was beautiful. There were animals enclosed by fences everywhere. There were pigs, cows, chickens, and a brown animal that looked a little bigger than a cow with a shaggy mane.
"It is beautiful," she said with definite awe in her voice.
"Yes, it is," said Mrs Cormaci.
When they reached the gate she noticed signs on the fences for the animals. The brown animal with a shaggy mane's fence had a sign on it. It said, "Gregor's horse. Her name is Luxa. She doesn't bite and loves food along with kids. I also like to refer to her as Her Majesty." Wait... Gregor named his horse after her. Her feelings for Gregor seem to strengthen. It means that he might still love her.. or just friends with her. Hazard seemed to have caught Luxa drooling. He just started laughing. Laughing and laughing. "It's Gregor isn't it. It was obvious you had a crush on him. He probably has a crush on you, too," said Hazard. She blushed madly. Mrs Cormaci saw the blush and started laughing also.
"Maybe it is Gregor. Also, how did you know I loved him. Was it that obvious?" asked Luxa, blushing even more than she was as saying the sentences.
"Yes, it was. I would almost bet that Gregor will drool at the sight of you," Hazard said.
"Alright kiddos! Time to get out! Make sure you get under the porch as fast as possible. You might burn your skin! called Mrs Cormaci. As she got out she could feel the 'sun' on her skin. At first, she felt a burning sensation. Then, a warm feeling. As if she was a few feet away from a fire in Regalia. Hazard seemed to be registering the feeling as closely related the feeling to the kiss she had with Gregor. Luxa knew Gregor was not the romantic type. But how could she know. People can change based on experience in their lives. She might have opened him up to a romantic world. He certainly did. But he stole her heart and he wouldn't give it back.
She stepped onto the porch silently. There was a glass table with three wooden chairs around it. It looked nice. Then again, she thought everything in the Overland looked nice. There was a window that showed the kitchen. She noticed some family 'photos' inside on the window sill. She noticed a picture of Gregor and his family. Gregor looked almost 11 years old. They looked like they were in a park. Gregor was smiling and looked very happy. She noticed that she even would have thought of him cute then. Mrs Cormaci then started rapping on the door. The person who opened it was not someone she knew. He had blonde hair and blue eyes. He looked around sixteen.
"Hello, may we please see Gregor," Mrs Cormaci said. to the person who opened the door.
"Sure, of course," he said, heading back into the home.
She was filled with joy and longing to be with person she loved. But she knew she needed to take it casually. He probably had a girlfriend and didn't love her anymore. Heck, he probably stopped loving her as soon as he had been in the Overland for a day! She felt a twinge of sadness and despair and knew she was on the verge of crying. She had just shed one tear when she was wrapped in a pair of familiar arms. She looked up to see Gregor looking down on her eyes and smiling. She returned the smile and wrapped her arms around him.
"It has been a long time, Gregor," she said.
"It has been, my love," he said. In response, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. He started kissing back immediately. This was not just a kiss. This was a kiss that had 4 years of passion and love poured into it. When they broke apart from the kiss she noticed that he was very good at this.
"Have you been practicing these kisses?" she asked him.
"I have had my fare share of dates but no real relationships. If it got to the point where the girl I was dating wanted to kiss me I kissed back but I never dated the same girl twice," he said, looking slightly embarrassed.
"The council has presented me many men. All of which I turned down immediately. I will not have to wed until I am 18. So, I get to be with you," she said.
"hmmm, I think you should introduce your love to your best friend and brother," said the boy with the blonde hair.
"Oh yes, sorry. Luxa, this is Alex, my adopted brother. Alex, this is Luxa. You know I have told you about her. Also, this is Luxa's cousin or little brother, Hazard. This is Mrs Cormaci. My next door neighbor in New York," said Gregor.
"You did not give me a title, Gregor. You could at least said most stubborn Queen ever," she said innocently.
"I would never insult you, my love," he said.
"But you did throw me in a dungeon to prevent me from fighting so that I could not be stubborn," she said. He smiled at her.
"Fine. You win. Now lets go upstairs," he said. I followed him up the stairs and to a hallway. He lead me into the door on the left.
The room had two beds around 3 feet apart from each other. Both had blue sheets and a thick mattress. The coloring on the wall almost looked like a stone room in Regalia. Then, she noticed the blades. There were five of them. Each about 3 inches apart from each other. They seemed to be in order from thinnest to thickest. The thinnest seemed to have been made just for me. Before I knew it I was stepping close to them almost drooling in admiration. She went to the thinnest. She could barely hear Gregor's slight chuckle. I picked up the blade and examined it. It was light and very thin. It seemed to be more for cutting a single point. It was even better than her rapier back home.
"How do you like it?" Gregor asked. He studied my face trying to read the answer off of it.
"This blade is amazing! It seems as if it were made just for me!" she exclaimed, giving the rapier a few swings. Then, she practiced the move she had been working on. She jumped on one of the beds and jumped off. She did a double back flip while swinging the rapier with very swift movements. It was a move designed for killing multiple beings at once. when she landed she was looking straight at the door with the rapier in a ready position.
"Woah!" Gregor exclaimed,"when did you learn that move! I can hardly do a back flip normally! I can't even do it with a weapon!"
"Idiot. You are too tall and muscular to be able to do something like that. Anyways, you have never been able to do something like that," she said.
"Damn, Gregor! Your 'love' just insulted you. And she's right. You've been practicing sword moves and working out too much to be able to do something like she just did," Alex said. He walked over and grabbed the blade in the middle of all the others.
"Shut up Alex! We both know the girls at school drool over us and I have a reason for not playing the girl card. But you don't even have a reason. I'm sure you're just waiting for the farm to fall into your own hands and live lonely," Gregor said to Alex. I started smiling at there banter.
"Gregor, you have yet to tell me why you have an adopted brother. You have two sisters already," she said.
He said,"Alright I'll tell you. So...
So... How do you guys like it. I hope to release chapters as soon as possible but it took me a week to get motivated for this one
