Codex: LOL!
Thx for the other reviews! :) And have a nice spring break if you have one! We actually just have March break, but I guess it's the same.
*Plaza*
MIKAYLA POV:
I woke up early in the morning. I finished getting ready and went downstairs to the plaza. Shockingly, I saw Boomer and Boz awake. Boomer seemed to be holding a rope tightly while Boz was drawing something at the centre of the plaza.
"Hey, why are you guys awake this early?" I asked.
"Boz and I had an idea. Since the dude yesterday took Boz's ring, he might be after my ring. So, we made a trap!" Boomer exclaimed. "You see this rope I'm holding? Once I let go, that big rock at the top will come crashing down at the centre of the plaza."
I opened my mouth to say something, but Boz went towards Boomer.
"Boomer, I finished drawing the X."
"Great. Now, place my ring there." Boomer said, pointing at the X. Boomer took out his ring and gave it to Boz.
Instead of telling Boomer this was the worst idea in the history of ideas, I instead apologized to him about yesterday. "I'm sorry for bringing Brady up yesterday; I really thought it was him."
"You know, Mikayla. I miss Brady too, but I was just tired of you mentioning him all the time, since I'm trying to forget him. Why can't we just move on?"
"I'm really sorry about that…"
Boomer sighed and faced me. "It's okay, I shouldn't have yelled at you that time."
"So, you're not mad at me anymore?"
"Nah… Hug?" Boomer spread his arms, forgetting about the rope.
"Boomer! The rope!" I yelled.
LANNY POV:
I saw a big rock falling towards Boz, so I pulled his forearm before it crashed down him. Small bits of rocks broke down and dust were everywhere.
"Whoa! That was close…" Boz said looking at the rock.
Boomer and Mikayla quickly ran towards Boz. "Bro! Are you okay?"
"You know…I'm starting to think this was a bad idea." Boz said.
I shook my head and decided to go back inside. I turned around and saw Makinzie in front of me crossing her arms. She raised an eyebrow. "What did you do back there?"
"What do you mean?"
"You saved Boz's life…that doesn't seem right." Makinzie smiled. "Wait, did you actually turn nice?"
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"Okay, so if you don't really have an evil plan to kill the kings… you're keeping something, aren't you? Possibly a secret from the past?"
FLASHBACK (NO POV)
"Hey, Lanny. I sort of change my mind…" Brady said.
"What!?"
"Yeah, I mean I couldn't just leave my brothers and if I leave, it feels like I'm giving up on Mikayla."
Brady paused as he noticed something dark in Lanny's hand. "Uh… Lanny, what are you doing with that sharp object?"
"Sorry, cousin, but I'm tired of you always foiling my plans. It's time for you to disappear."
FLASHBACK OVER
"Lanny!" I snapped out of my memory as Makinzie called me.
"What?"
"Is something bothering you?"
My eyes widen as I tried to get away from the conversation. "YOU'RE BOTHERING ME!"I yelled and walked away nervously as fast as I could.
BOZ POV:
"Look, I have a way better idea. Why don't I just wear the ring?" I said as I equipped the ring. "That way, when that dude tries to get you, he wouldn't get the ring."
"Hold on, I don't think it would be acceptable to use me as bait."
"No, of course not! This is how it's gonna work. We both walk around the jungle, with no guards. That way, he would think we're alone. Once he appears, I'm going to run and call the guards to capture him."
"And leave me-…" Boomer was about to protest, but Mikayla interrupted him.
"Actually, that's not such a bad idea… Don't worry, I'll walk somewhere close, so if anything happens to you, Boz will know where I am."
"F-Fine! I'll go with that idea, then." Boomer said, unsure. "But you're gonna have to wear gloves so he won't see the ring, and a ski mask so he wouldn't recognize you're the King.
*Jungle*
MIKAYLA POV:
Boz wore black gloves and a ski mask, since some know, only a person of royal blood can remove it. He didn't wanna be recognized.
"Okay, so I'll be walking around the jungle, and Boz will be swinging around the tress." Boomer said. Boomer walked farther to the forest, and then Boz started climbing a tree, leaving me to walk alone in the jungle.
About ten minutes later I saw a person with a ski mask and black gloves, the same Boz was wearing.
"BOZ! Aren't you supposed to be with Boomer!? Did the thief come?"
He quickly shook his head. "No. He told me to come here to help you just in case. Don't worry, there's another guard with him." He sounded like he had a cold with his voice. That's weird… Why would Boomer tell Boz to help me? I can take care of myself. I just nodded and we kept walking, but there was something different about how he walked; Boz's walked seemed to be a bit more different, considering his part ape.
"It's a good thing Boomer is still wearing his ring. Who knows what that thief could do?" I said.
He nodded. "Yeah... Brady might possibly capture it any minute now."
Wait…Okay, now I know something's up! This guy is NOT BOZ.
NO POV:
Mikayla swiftly took off his mask only to discover Brady was wearing it. Both of them quickly backed away from each other. Mikayla wasn't sure how to act,since she certainly couldn't kill Brady. She wasn't even sure if it was legal to injure him.
"Well, nice to see you again!" He said.
"Trust me, it wasn't very nice to see the kidnapper again, who tied me up to a tree." Mikayla said as she crossed her arm.
"Yeah…I apologize for that." Brady said sarcastically.
She grew a bit angry, not knowing how to act; she looked at the mask and quickly threw it at him.
Brady watched as the ski mask hit his chest and fell to the ground. He raised an eyebrow and his face was full of confusion.
"Uh… Was that supposed to hurt?" He asked while looking at Mikayla.
"No… I just… I just wanted to see if this was another dream."
There was an awkward silence. Brady scratched the back of his neck; he kind of thought the girl was a little strange. He just shook his head and picked up his mask.
"So… isn't this the part where you call for help again and your so called 'kingly' friends come and 'save' you?" He teased.
Mikayla crossed her arms. "I rather have the honour of punching you in the face myself." She smirked.
Brady chuckled light-heartedly. He stopped with half a smile. He then looked directly at Mikayla with his dark brown eyes. "Cute." He said, giving Mikayla a small flirty smile. He slowly walked towards her and leaned his head towards Mikayla. "Go ahead." He said still gazing at Mikayla.
"What?" Mikayla said.
"Punch me in the face." Brady said with a big grin. Mikayla glared at him, as her hand slowly turned into a fist. It was obvious he thought Mikayla was very weak, but she was just trying to control her temper. He saw the anger in Mikayla's eyes and walked closer to her. Mikayla quickly reacted and tried to back away, but swore under her breath when she realized there was a huge tree behind her. "I dare you…" He said, still grinning.
Brady looked at her angry eyes that slowly turned into frustration. His grin slowly turned into a gentle smile as he placed both his hands to the tree, almost trapping Mikayla.
"I really am starting to hate you right now." Mikayla said, causing Brady to unexpectedly frown. She really didn't mean it, but his I-am-better-than-you attitude was really annoying. If only he knew how strong she really was, and the fact that she couldn't hurt a king. Brady felt his heart sting, he didn't know why, but when she said she hated him, he thought something. Why does that hurt so much? It shouldn't, right? I mean, I just met her…at least, that's what I think.
It was getting uncomfortable that Brady was this close to her. Mikayla wanted to shove him away. She quickly placed her hands on his chest but instead of pushing him away, as her hands lay on his chest, she felt something. It was the beat of his heart. It was slowly getting quicker. The beat was so strong that it was almost loud enough to hear.
"Why do you look so..." Brady said while he leaned so close their noses were touching. "Familiar..." His gazed slowly fell on Mikayla's lips and he was somehow tempted to kiss her.
"STAY AWAY FROM HER!" Someone screamed. A guy with gloves and a ski mask kicked Brady while swinging from a vine. Mikayla looked around, but they were out of sight.
Boomer then came running along with other guards. "They're over there!" Boomer yelled as he pointed at the right side. He then went towards me. "Mikayla are you okay?"
"Don't worry, Boomer. I'm fine."
A guard then came over to Boomer. "My king, the guards are about to bring the thief to the castle."
"Okay. You guys can go ahead, I'll make sure Boz is alright." Boomer then walked towards where Boz has been while Mikayla went to the castle.
*PLAZA*
"I'm sorry, daddy, but at least we finally captured him. Mikayla looked behind his father and saw the masked man struggling to get up, because about eight guards forced him to sit down and tied his hands and feet.
Mikayla then walked towards the masked man without saying a word. She then slowly pulled the ski mask off. Everyone gasped when they saw who it was.
