"Gregor! How could you get into a fight at school!?" shouted Grace, as he stepped through the door.
"It wasn't my fault, mom. Micheal and his gang started bullying me and I had to defend myself, seriously," replied Gregor, seeing her face.
"I don't care! You didn't have to hurt them so much!" she exclaimed. Gregor couldn't believe it: his mom was actually taking Micheal's side in the argument.
You're grounded for a month, and I don't care about what you have to say!" and as Gregor turned around to go to his room, he could hear her muttering things like, "how could he", "I can't believe it","so violent now".
And as soon as he reached out to pull open the door, it opened and Boots and Lizzie ran up and hugged him.
"We were waiting for you and were wondering what happened," explained Lizzie. She was now twelve years old and, like before, was smarter than anybody her age, except for Jedidiah. Boots was now six years old, but still wanted to be the center of attention.
"We heard mommy yelling. She was too loud," said Boots.
"I'll bet she was," Gregor said, remembering it.
"So what happened?" Lizzie curiously asked.
"Oh, nothing. Just some gang was bullying me and I fought back," said Gregor sarcastically.
"Well, you shouldn't have, 'cause mom's really mad at you, and you could have gotten into a lot of trouble,"
"Fighting is bad," Boots said, as she shook her head.
" I know Liz, but it was the first time, so I'm okay, except for being grounded," he said.
"Let's hope its the last time," said Lizzie seriously.
"It is," he said, "Don't worry, it is the last time," he added as he saw the doubtful look on his sister's face.
"All right. Good night. Come on Boots, Gregor has to sleep," she said to her sister.
"Okay. Gregor close eyes and go sleep," Boots then closed Gregor's eyelids with her tiny, little fingers.
As Gregor heard the door shut,he began to think about what had happened: his rager side kicked in, and that was just because of other people in the Overland that annoyed him. But in the Underland, no one would annoy, tease, or bully him, no one would be afraid of him, and he would finally be with Luxa, the sixteen year old ruler of Regalia, who would have just become queen. Just by thinking of all of this, he was wondering if he should go back to the Underland. That is, if his parents let him. But what did they know about it? They didn't know how he felt and what had happened to him. Especially his mom. His dad might let him go back for a while, but before Gregor would be able to finish asking her she would say no. But how would Gregor feel if he was back? He would be happy, joyful, and he wouldn't be so lonely. That made him decide what he had to do. He was going back to the Underland.
So now I made this longer, and thanks Kizanna for posting the first comment. I'm hopefully going to do about five chapters every week, but I might not be able to.
