Chapter 1

Gregor stared at her. Dead. Lizzie was dead. Then Boots and his dad came in on bats.

"AHHH!!!!! LIZZIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!"Boots screamed. She ran over to her sister and cried. Her dad came running over and picked Lizzie up.

"I might feel a pulse! DOCTOR!!!!"An underlander doctor came and took her to the hospital.

"Um.. Gregor what was going on? Where's Julie?"His dad asked as Boots reunited with Temp. Gregor told him everything. "But when I asked who killed Lizzie, she said Julie."

Luxa came running over. She hugged Gregor. Grace came over. "Um.. Dad?"

"Yes, Grace?"

"Didn't you tell me the princess was Lizzie when she broke the code?"

"Mhm...And?"

"Well she might've been the princess who dies. Not me," It made sense. It had to.

I'm very busy so this is all of chapter one. I will write more soon.

Okay here is the rest. Sorry I've been busy between talking to my boyfriend. School finishing and family.

"Guards, thank you for your service but we have no more use for you," Queen Luxa said. The guards went somewhere. Gregor zoned out for a moment.

"Grace is right."

"Umm... Dad?"

"Yes?"

"Lizzie said Julie killed her. Julie musn't have died then,"Grace said looking worried.

"Protect the outer edge of the city!"Gregor yelled. "Don't let anyone in or out!"

"How could have Julie gotten out?" Luxa asked.

"I have no idea, but we know one thing,"Gregor said.

"What?"

"Grace was not suppsoe to die."

it was decided by the council that it was not Grace who was suppose to die. Lizzie was the princess that was suppose t die.

Okay i"M REAL sorry that it's been solong. It's summer right? Don't blame me, but I have to start my regular schedule so hopefully I'll be on.

It was decided by the council that it was not Grace who was suppose to die. Lizzie was the princess that was suppose to die.

Two hours later Gregor was in the hospital sitting in a chair next to Lizzie's bed with his hands in his hair, distressed. The doctor's said Lizzie had twelve hours before dieing. They were all hoping she would wake up, but she was in bed just breathing. Gregor was counting her rhythm in her breaths, seeing if she breathing normal, but it was more small breaths. Desperate breaths. Breaths trying to get enough air to live. She wasn't going to live. Gregor heard the breathing stop and looked over. Lizzie's eyes were opened.

Gregor smiled. "How're you feeling?"

"Weak,"She managed. "Like I'm on my deathbed."

"You are on your deathbed."

"Why are your eyes puffy? I'm alive."

"The doctor's said you're going to die in less then twelve hours."

Lizzie would not believe it. Thirteen doctor's needed to tell her. Ten hours later Luxa, Grace, Gregor, Boots, and their dad was around her bed. Lizzie was coughing and said she loved them. She died without another word. Distress went around the castle. Gregor just sat next to her sister. If he'd known all of this would happen he would have spent more time with her and not mopping feeling like his life was over. If only. At late eveing lxa came in and kissed him. "It's time to dine. Come." Gregor followed her feeling like he was the worst person in the world.
