A/N: Hey guys! I am excited to be the person to begin the 21st story about Star-Crossed on . The three episodes that are out so far are just so unbelievably good! I've watched them all three times already and I can just feel the ultimate fan-girl obsession building up inside of me. I am physically in pain waiting for the next episode! So I turned to fanfiction only to find there are only 20 stories here…and I've already read all the ROMERY ones (Cause I'm shipping that SO HARD) and they are all so amazing, but even though my writing is just par, I want to help all the other fans get through the troubling period between episodes as well! So without further ado here is my story.

Please enjoy!

CHAPTER ONE

"Roman! Hey, wait up!"

The blonde haired Atrian boy turned to witness Emery's friend Julia clumsily pushing through the swarm of students towards him.

"Sorry! Excuse me! I just need to- UFF! Hey! Watch where you're going! Sorry! Pardon me! Ow! That was my foot! Yup…no that's okay! Don't apologize! Hey," she finally said once she was close enough, hobbling slightly as she moved towards him; passing through the battlefield of students obviously leaving her worse for wear. "Roman! Ro, my Ro-man" she laughed anxiously give him a light punch in the arm.

"Hey Julia," he greeted, smiling suspiciously at her. His eyes darting over her head in search for Emery hiding behind a bin or just around the corner, thinking this was some kind of distraction to get him to talk to her. Finally seeing nothing out of the ordinary, his blue-eyed gaze warmly turned down to meet Julia's. "Have you come to probe me for more of my alien secrets?"

"Ha ha" she mumbled sarcastically "very funny. No, I actually, well-" she nervously glanced away, causing Roman to immediately tense up. "This is about…Emery" From the look on her face, he thought something was wrong, like there had been more side effects from the Atrian herbs he had given her. But turns out this was just about Emery. He rolled his eyes at her, but the tension in his shoulders didn't leave him.

"How many times do I have to tell her and you I don't want her anywhere near me, or my people"

"She just wants to be there for you, you know" Julia said sadly, causing him to pause. Didn't both of them know how hard this was for him! He didn't want to have to keep his distance, but it was for the best! Emery already had a target on her head because of the incident between his father and hers. He refused to be the reason for more hurt where she was concerned. As if reading his mind Julia added "I think you saying things like that hurts her more than any Trag ever could".

He narrowed his eyes at Julia. She was a sweet girl, but she didn't understand what he was going through and having her say things like that to him, he didn't appreciate. "Don't bring this up again" he growled, slamming his locker door shut.

He was about to move off to class when Julia added "I guess that means you haven't seen Emery around…we were supposed to meet up this morning but she never showed and now I- well I guess you don't really care. Don't worry it's probably nothing"

With each word that stumbled thoughtlessly from her mouth Roman felt his muscles grow more and more tense. He spun to face her, looking quickly over his shoulder before grabbing her by the arm and dragging her out of sight. "Tell me what happened."

A light twinkled knowingly in Julia's dark eyes. I knew it! He's totally still into her! oh god- seriously Jules! Not important right now! Your friend is missing!

"Well…we were meant to meet up outside of school, but she never showed. I tried calling her like eight times but every time it went to voicemail. She loves school! She's never late! And I know she's technologically inept but she always picks up for me. Roman, something's wrong. I just know it"

The distress Roman was feeling was clearly etched on his face. Julia didn't have any time to offer solace or work out a battle plan before Roman had taken off. He was a man on a mission. She gave a semi-annoyed huff. She would rather have been kept in the loop and gone with him, but Julia felt content that if anyone could help Emery, it was Roman.

Wake up…

Hmmm

Wake up…

But mum…I'm still tired…

"I SAID WAKE UP!"

Emery cried out in surprise as a bucket of icy cold water was thrown over her head; completely drenching her.

"Wha-What's going on?" she cried, struggling to twist her face away from the blinding spotlight aimed at her. She yelped slightly as she wriggled against her bounds, her wrists burning as she thrashed against the rope. The pain emanating from her wrists quickly sobered her up, though she still couldn't make heads or tails of where she was.

"Finally." A male voice echoed from the dark corners of the room "You are awake".

"If this is some kind of initiation thing for the new girl, it's been a great laugh, but you can let me go now"

"This is no initiation girl" another person added, this time a woman.

"Please" Emery pleaded, her heart was hammering so fast against her ribs it caused a ripple of pain through her chest "just let me go! I'm sure I've done you no harm!"

"You are right" The woman agreed and Emery breathed a small sigh of relief. Her reprieve did not last long though for the woman than added "but your father on the other hand…he has angered the Atriaknights"

The Atria-what?! These people are Atrians?

"No, we are not Atrians ourselves" The man said, reading her mind. "They, due to government restrictions are not allowed to defend the rights they so clearly deserve. That is why we, the Atriaknights, must fight for them and achieve true Atrian justice in their stead."

"What has that got to do with me?" Emery asked, though, she was pretty sure she already knew what they were going to say before it even left their mouths.

"The Atriaknights want nothing more than for Atrians and Humans to live harmoniously, and we are willing to do anything to achieve that goal. The humans are fools to believe that the Atrians are just going to accept the death of their beloved leader, whom was viciously murdered at the hand of your father, who incidentally walked away unpunished and unfazed." Emery jumped as a myriad of voices echoed around the room. "That is not justice." There was a lot more people than she had originally thought.

"You don't know my father!" Emery declared ardently, her cheeks burning red with anger. "That whole thing with Nox, it was an accident! My dad is not a murderer!" She tried to explain but it was obvious they weren't listening. They cared only for their own agenda.

"For the Atrians and Humans to move forward from this debacle," the man, who she assumed was the leader, continued as if she hadn't said a word "your father needs to be punished – and eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth; if you will"

"You're all crazy! Sure, my father made a mistake. But we all make mistakes – it's what being human is all about. Please! Whatever your planning he doesn't deserve it"

"Your father callously took from every single Atrian on earth, their beloved leader" the woman elucidated, moving close enough to Emery that she could make out a waterfall of glossy blonde hair and the harsh gleam of what she feared was a pistol. "Killing him would not make things better. To serve Atrian justice we need to take away someone that he loves. That 'someone' Emery, is you".
