Chase's POV.

"I know, Selena. I wanna go back home too. But until Mr. Davenport fixes the ray, we can't get back." I sighed as I hugged her while her hot tears streamed down her face and onto my shoulder.

"What if he can't fix it? What if we are stuck here forever?"

"Selena. Mr. Davenport is a genius, well, not as much as I am, but he's smart enough to help us out of here. Besides. We have a bigger problem. How are we gonna pull off hating each other?"

"Pretend that we like each other now?"

"They won't believe us."

"I guess we'll just have to act." She sighed as Bree opened the door.

"Chase, Selena, come on. We're gonna be late." She explained before leaving.

"Well, let's go." I smiled at her as we walked out and into the banquet hall.

This place was bigger then any room I had ever been in! Plus, all the food on the table didn't help my growling stomach as I sat down in between Bree and Leo.

"Attention everyone!" Douglas announced as he stood up, making everyone look at him. "As you may all know, today is Prince Chase's seventeenth birthday, which means next year, he'll marry Princess Selena of Esplade, and take over the kingdom. But for now, let's feast!"

Everyone cheered as the servants brought the food out, making my mouth water more and more before a large plate was set down in front of me, and as soon as everyone else was about to eat, I was about to, till I saw Selena slump out of her chair, making me forget our whole act as I went over to her, yelling her name and checking for a pulse.

"What's wrong with her?"

"No one eat the food! It may not be safe!"

Just then the doors burst open and someone I never wanted to see in this world or the next burst in. Victor Krane.

"The food is fine. However, I had my witch cast a spell on the princess. A sleeping spell for that matter. And it will only be broken if you can defeat me! If you accept my challenge, I expect to you see on the battlefield." He laughed before disappearing in a puff of smoke.

Tears started streaming down my face as I stroked her hair before I felt someone stick their hand on my back.

"I'm sorry, son." I heard, only to see Douglas beside me as he commanded "Put the princess in the large room beside the prince's."

I was supposed to keep Selena and I safe, so we could get home safe and sound. I've failed.

Review responses!

Aliqueen16: Well, Selena is now under a sleeping curse, so they can't even speak to each other.

Rulers Of The Games: Oh ok. They don't read our PMs, right? I've never read/seen Eragon, sorry. Ok! Could you design it?

Maddie (guest): Thanks! Not yet, but I'm gonna try and finish it, along with The Strange Happenings Of Mission Creek High very soon!

LabRatFlutieKat: Yep! It didn't go well for the three minutes they had to pretend XD. Well, you were right about that. Thanks! Here it is!
