I think I figured out why that comes up twice, but I need you review to let me know if it continues.

Racog Prince

Chapter 4

Ulrich and Odd had been out of the hospital now for two weeks. Only Odd knew of Baisha, for now. Ulrich hadn't been ready to tell the others about him yet, and somehow Odd respected that.

Right now they were sitting at their favorite bench outside. Ulrich was on the top of back rest, Jeremy on his computer on the seat next to he, Odd sitting with a coke in his hand on the other side, Yumi on the other side of Odd, and Aeilita was walking over from a rehearsal with the Sub-digitals.

Ulrich's phone rang, and he answered it, knowing it was his parents calling about the hospital bill. Obviously Ulrich wouldn't mention Baisha to them.

"Hello?"

"Hi son," his mom answered in a happy mood. Why was she happy? Shouldn't she be concerned about her adopted son?

"Hi mom, what's up?"

"Do you know what today is?"

"Um, Tuesday?"

"Well, yes, but do you remember what date it is?"

"Um, May 20, oh, that," Ulrich said, his voice becoming very sad.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" both of his parents yelled into the phone, causing Ulrich to yank the phone away from his ear and leaning back, a little too far by the way. Ulrich lost his balance and fell off the edge of the bench.

"Ulrich!" Yumi cried in alarm.

"Are you okay?" Odd asked. By this time Aeilita had run arrived, just at the point when Ulrich fell. Ulrich still had yet to respond.

"Can you hear us?" Aeilita asked.

"Hey, Ulrich, are you alive right now?" Jeremy asked. He may be a scientist, but he was not a doctor.

"Ow," Ulrich said calmly, sitting up and rubbing the back of his head. He grabbed his phone, still rubbing the back of his head.

"Is everything alright?" his father asked.

"Yeah, I just fell. Can I call you back? I want some ice for my head," Ulrich said.

"Sure thing son."

Ulrich stood up and started walking towards the infirmary.

"Where are you going?" Yumi asked.

"The infirmary, I think I hit my head on a rock or something," Ulrich replied, still rubbing the back of his head. He starts to walk off when Jim calls him.

"Stern, there's someone here for you!"

Ulrich turns around and sees Jim standing about 20 paces away… with Baisha right next to him.

"Baisha!" Ulrich yelled.

"I thank you for bringing me to him, you may leave now," Baisha told Jim. Jim walked away, and as soon as he was around the corner Baisha took out his blood stained dagger.

"He, he, bye!" Ulrich said before turning and running as fast as he could. Baisha took off after him.

"What's going on?" Yumi asked.

"That's Baisha," Odd started to explain, forgetting the others didn't know about him and Ulrich wanted to keep it that way.

"Who's Baisha?" Aeilita asked.

"He's just this guy who has been trying to kill Ulrich for couple of years now. That's how Ulrich got the scar on his face and upper arm," Odd said.

"What?!" Yumi yelled. Only then did it hit Odd.

"Oops, I wasn't supposed to tell you that," Odd said.

Meanwhile with Ulrich . . .

Ulrich was running all over campus with a murderer behind him. The sad thing was that no one even glanced at the guy with a dagger. Ulrich was tired now, and he really needed to stop and rest, but giving Baisha any time to catch up would be his undoing, so he pressed on.

Turning a corner now, Ulrich ran into Sissi and the two toppled over onto the ground.

"Ow, who- Oh, hi Ulrich," Sissi said, starting with an aggressive tone and changing to a flirtatious one. Ulrich stood back up despite his tired legs and kept running. Baisha was much closer to Ulrich than he liked.

10 paces away now…

Ulrich ran to the cover of the trees, hoping for shelter there. He looked behind him to see where Baisha was.

8 paces away . . .

Ulrich tripped on an unseen root and fell. Baisha took the opening and threw the dagger. Ulrich swung his arm in front of him.

3 seconds left of life for Ulrich…

. . . But the impact never came. Ulrich looked around him to see why the dagger never hit him. Trees weren't around him any more. Ulrich was in a grassy meadow.

The teen stood up and looked around him. He could see a mountain rising in the distance and a small village in front of that. He walked towards that.

It only took Ulrich about 15 minutes to reach the village. Some of the houses looked ramshackle, but they got better further in. There was no one on the streets at all. Every road was completely empty. It was as if the village had been abandoned.

Just when Ulrich least expected it, someone came out of a side road. At first Ulrich thought it was someone on horseback, but then he saw the horse had no head, and the rider had no legs. Where the horse's head should have been was where the rider with no legs was. The rider had long black hair and the horse had brown hair. The rider noticed Ulrich staring at him, and walked over- using the horse's legs- to him.

"What are you?" he- for the voice was definitely male- asked. Ulrich was taken aback at this.

"I'm a human boy, now what are you?"

"Don't you know a centaur when you see one?"

"No, no I don't actually," Ulrich replied.

"Did you say you were human before?"

"Yes, why wouldn't I be?"

"Humans do not inhabit this world. The closest things are wizards and witches. The queen shall have to know of this," the Centaur said, and grabbed Ulrich's arm, seating him and the horse half of him. The centaur took off at full speed to the mountain.

"What queen?" Ulrich asked.

"The Queen of Racog of course! Don't you know where you are?"

"No! I'm from Earth!" Ulrich shouted at him. Most of his voice was being carried away by the wind. The centaur almost stopped dead in his tracks at that statement.

"No one from Earth has ever made it here before! In fact only one person from THIS world ever made it there, or so we believe, and no one has seen or heard of him since!"

"Why is that?"

"There is supposed to be a barrier preventing the two worlds from meeting. The Lost Prince somehow found a way there when he was being attacked not too far out of town."

I arrived here not that far…

"What do you mean 'lost prince'?" Ulrich inquired.

"The Prince went missing about 8 years ago. We of Racog believe that his unusual powers brought him past the barrier," the centaur said.

I was found about 8 years ago…

"What was the Prince's name?" Ulrich asked in as quiet a voice he could ask and still be heard.

"Ulrich I believe," the centaur answered him.

Ulrich almost let go of his tight hold he had and gone flying off.

Arriving not to far from where the town which is where the Prince disappeared… the Prince going missing the same time I was found…the Prince I sharing the same name…Me feeling as if I don't belong on Earth…It all fits. But…I can't be a Prince!

"Is something the matter?" the centaur asked. He was getting used to the boy's consistent pestering, and now the boy was silent. It didn't matter though; they were only a few moments away.

"My name is Ulrich!" he replied.

If this boy's name is Ulrich, and he broke the barrier just like Prince Ulrich did 8 years ago, then this must be our Prince returned at last!

"You're Majesty! I am honored to escort you to your palace!" the centaur said.

I'm…I'm a Prince?!

-End of Chapter 4-

And this is where the title fits in. I'm feeling as if this story isn't well liked, so if you don't review and leave me happy (or unhappy as the case may be) I'm not going to continue. I need to know that people are reading this story, otherwise it's just a lost cause.

So Review Please!!
