Chapter 7
Last time on "The Special One"...
"Yeah, I was named 'The Queen' for a reason actually." Rose said
"What would that be?" Simon asked
She looked like someone just died in front of her,
"I'm the, umm…"
Derek's POV
I looked intently at Rose, was she really going to tell them?
Rose took a deep breath and tried again,
"I'm the princess of Pandioria. I will be crowned queen on my twentieth birthday, meaning I have another 5 years to go until I can meet my parents for the first time." I guess that answers my question.
Tori gasped with realization,
" Since when does Simon ask smart questions?"
"That's what you're surprised to hear? And I can ask smart questions when I feel like! Not all of us can be Sherlock's twin brother." Simon snorted, looking at me. Rose and Chloe giggled.
"What is Pandioria?" Lauren asked
"Don't you know? What with you already knowing her..."
"I'm just a doctor, they don't tell me all the facts about the subjects. Just things that involve them medically. " Lauren replied.
" Pandioria is like another dimension consisting of all types of supernaturals. There is a portal in the royal family's house." Rose explained.
"How do you now all of this, when you've never met your parents?" Tori questioned.
" I don't know, I guess the royals to be are just born with the knowledge. Also, .Cloud did let me in on a little background with some old books."
"Okay..."
" Why do you have to wait 5 years?" Chloe wondered
"Okay, why don't I start this from the beginning. The royal family of Pandioria starts with daughters. Once a daughter is born to the king and queen, for instance my parents, she has to live on her own until the age of twenty, when she turns immortal, to be crowned the new queen. Men become King by marriage, unlike human royals, where men inherit the position of King."
"Oh yeah, Simon. Suck it! Women rule!" Cheered Tori.
Simon snorted, " No you don't. Men rule. Supernaturals are just messed up." I raised my eyebrow at Simon.
"My dear brother, you do realize you just said that you're messed up, right?"
Simon thought about that, "Fu..."
"LANGUAGE!" Dad yelled
Rose laughed as Simon mumbled, "Sorry..."
Chloe spoke up, "Anyway, Rose, continue?"
"Yeah, right, sorry. Umm... I have to wait until I'm twenty, and now I'm fifteen. Twenty is about when you reach the certain level of maturity, but you're not too old. So I'm not suppose to meet my parents until then. I was thinking I'd only had to stay in the lab for two more years, then I could go on my own and off to university, then meet my patents. That was my original plan."
"How do you live like that?" Chloe asked
"I don't know. I guess I feel like I have something to look forward to in the future. I wish I could've met my parents before, but it's the royal law. I can't do anything about it. Maybe when I'm Queen, I could. But for now, I just have to wait."
Dad put an arm around her shoulders and hugged her as tears filled her eyes. We can tell it hurt that she couldn't have a real family, and we all looked at her with worry. It seemed to break everyone's heart seeing her this way, mine the most. I was surprised even Tori showed a little concern.
"Don't worry sweetheart, you have a family with us for now. We will be with you until you do meet your parents." Dad said
"Thank you. All of you."
"Alright kids, why don't you guys go wash up? Me and Lauren will go find a grocery store, I know you guys are a little tired of pizza and junk food." We all agreed and everyone left for the showers. But when I looked around, I saw Simon go out to the backyard, I followed him.
"Yes Derek, how can I help you?" He asked
"I wanted to know what's up."
"Nothing. "
"Don't tell me nothing. I know when something's up."
I pestered.
"Nothing, it's just Rose, she's... I can't seem to..."
He stuttered. He never stutters about a girl. I realized what's going on.
"You like her."
He looked at me with helplessness. "I-I..."
"Dude, it's ok to admit that. But all I'm going to tell you is, do not hurt her or else. Don't play her. But if you really, really like her, then go for it." I said, while walking back inside, leaving him with his thoughts. What goes around, comes around.
