"We have a sub for math." Liz said as she walked passed Alex and Maria.

"Sweet." Alex and Maria said together.

"Who is it?" Maria asked.

Liz shrugged.

"Probably that mean one." Alex said.

"You mean the one with the comb over." Maria said. "No one should have to learn from that."

Alex nodded.

The bell rang and they all walked to class.

None of them knew the sub but he still looked familiar none the less.

"Well look who decided to grace us with his presence." Maria said as Michael walked into the classroom.

"Well hello to you too." Michael said.

Everyone else walked in soon after Michael and the bell rang.

"My name is Mr. Bogle, now your teacher left this whole stack of work." He held a stack of packetts in his hand and the class groaned. "But I'm not going to make you do it. And if anyone ask I 'lost' it." He threw the stack of papers in the trash. The whole class cheered. "I won't make you work but you have to listen to my story." The class grew quiet. But no one objected. "Ok good. Now I'm going to tell you a story my grandfather used to tell me."

Liz was reading a book, Maria was playing with her cell phone, Michael and Kyle were getting ready to sleep, Tess was doodling, Isabel was getting ready to stare off into space, and Max and Alex were playing poker under the table.

"You've all heard of the 1947 crash. Well my grandfather used to tell me that the Royal Four from another planet were brought down in the crash."

Liz snapped her book shut, Maria stuffed her cell phone into her bag, Michael and Kyle sat up straight, Tess's pen went across the page she was doodling on, Isabel snapped out of her day dream, and Max and Alex dropped their cards.

"See a Royal Four usually consist of the King, Queen, Princess or Prince, and the General. The Royal Four that fell from the sky were from the planet Antar, and their names were Zan, Ava, Rath, and Vilandra. They were sepearted but finally reunited and knew about their destiny. But what they didn't know was that their were others among them. Others exactly like them and they were closer than they ever could imagine. Their names were Illyria, Caleal, Mira, and Addak. Back on Antar they were what you would call significant others to the Royal Four. But when their destiny came out it in turn came out that the other four were also another Royal Four and were destined to be with other people. And-"

Before he could get another word out the bell rang and the whole class (including Max, Liz, Michael, Maria, Isabel, Alex, Tess, and Kyle) ran out within seconds.

"How could we know that he was telling the truth?" Isabel asked.

"What was he even saying?" Liz asked.

"I hate to be the one to suggest this," Alex said. "But maybe we've been discovered by the FBI and they're trying to wear us down."

"Even if that was true," Tess said. "They couldn't have known enough about us to know our names and the name of our planet."

"What if," Maria said. "He's just a nut case who happen to got lucky a few times and just tells everyone that story. What if he's like Kyle's grandfather."

"Hey!" Kyle said.

"Sorry but it's a real option." Maria said.

"Yeah maybe Maria's right." Michael said.

"Max you've been quiet." Liz said.

"I'm just thinking about this dream I had last night. It really seems to be connected to this." Max said.

"What kind of dream?" Maria asked.

"I'm not really sure I have no idea were I was and you were all in it and we all died. Then I got burned at the stake." Max said.

"I had a dream like that," Maria said. "Only I got sliced in half."

"Ew. Me too, but I was stabbed," Kyle said.

Everyone agreed that they had had the same dream that ended in their deaths.

"Ok I think we need to find out what is going on here." Max said.

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

"One of us has to ask the sub about it." Alex said.

"I'll do it." Maria said standing up.

"What?!" Michael yelled going up to her. "No way."

"Look now is not the time to fight about this," Maria said calmly. "I'm doing it and that's it."

"Fine!" Michael snapped. "But I will be watching."

Maria walked in and saw Mr. Bogle.

"Hi." She said in a peppy voice.

"Hello." He said.

"I just wanted to ask you about your story today." Maria said. "I'm sure I've heard it before but I don't know from where."

"Well I'm sure you have." He said. His face began to morph. "You lived it." Maria froze as she stared into the face of Nicholas.

She didn't even know she was screaming till it came out of her mouth.

"Ah, Mira always one for the screaming." He said pushing her into the wall. "I wonder if it's just when your afraid" he whispered the last part in her ear 'ew' she thought.

"Mich-!" Was all she got out before he covered her mouth.

The second the door opened and Nicholas was on the floor.

Michael ran over and made sure Maria was ok.

"Oh Rath always caring more about that girl than the fight." Nicholas said as he got up. "It's what made you weak."

"Wrong." Michael (or was it Rath) said with a voice dripping with hatred. "It's what made me stronger." He lifted his hand and sent Nicholas flying into the wall.

"Oh I seem to remember you let a whole planet down because you were too weak." Nicholas said.

Maria walked over to Michael and stood next to him.

"And don't even get me started on you." Nicholas said motioning to Mira.

The door flew open and two women walked in.

"I was wondering when you two would get here. What kind of guardians are you?" Nicholas said laughing.

The first women raised her arm and sent Nicholas flying into the wall. He got up and ran. "I'll be back."

Maria clutched Michael's arm as she began to sway. "Whoa." She gasped as Michael put his arm under her to support her weight.

"What's wrong with her?" Michael asked.

"Don't fight it just let it come." The second women said.

Maria's eyes closed as she collapsed in Michael's arms and was sent to another time, and planet.

Mira walked outside after what had happened between her and Rath. She couldn't believe they had broken up. She just needed some time to herself before she had to face everyone and tell them what had happened. She heard something snap behind her and she turned around to see Nykot.

"What do you want?" Mira said

"What's with the attitude?" Nykot asked. "Did you and my dear old friend Rath have a fight?" Fake concern dripped from his words.

"Go away." Mira snapped then began to walk away.

"You know," Nykot said running up in front of her, and Mira reluctantly stopped. "I'm still trying to figure out what Rath sees in you."

"Too bad you'll never know." Mira said then tried to walk away. Nykot grabbed her shoulders and slammed her into the wall. He forcibly kissed her and Mira tried her best to push him away.

He pushed her on the ground, got on top of her and covered her mouth so she couldn't scream. As hard as she tried to she only got a squeal. He started moving his hands all over her, and she resisted as much as she could.

The next second Nykot was pushed off of Mira and Rath was punching him.

"I'm going to kill you." He growled.

He didn't notice Mira hug her knees to her chest.

"No one hurts her and get's away with it." Rath said as he broke Nykot's nose.

He securely held Nykot to the ground and punched him in the face. There was blood flowing everywhere.

Mira began to whimper. Rath heard her and turned around. Nykot took his chance and pushed Rath off and ran away.

Instead of following him Rath went over to Mira. Before touching her he waved his hands over each other, and the blood on his hands disappeared.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Fine I guess." She said as he wiped away her tears. He took both her hands and pulled her up.

"He didn't…did he?" Rath asked.

Mira shook her head and Rath pulled him to her. He held her tight as if he would never let go.

"He won't ever get near you again. I promise." Rath said then kissed the top of her head. Mira nodded and lay her head against his chest, and let him wrap his arms around her.
