(IMPORTANT, YOU WONT GET THE STORY IF YOU DONT READ THIS: Sorry, I forgot to say this in one of the earlier chapters! Gardania takes the place of Sanct Sabil. Yes, Yakov is still the Prince of Sanct Sabil. What does that mean? Yakov is Kye's big brother. Forgive me for the earlier chapter where before the phone call takes place (where Nobel Michel tells Hisato that Kye is Alive). I mentioned that Kye was an only child but I AM CHANGING THAT. Yakov is Kye's older brother! End of discussion! (I mean, they look exactly alike. Turquoise eyes, blonde hair...)
3rd p.o.v
The morning after the princes arrival...
"Your highness...we need to get home" Yu said, ushering Glenn to get moving but he wouldn't budge. "Nope. Kye is more important" Luke was too scared to argue with Keith, who was leaning against the wall, head down. Jan was surprised to see that not even the self confident Prince Joshua, who was obsessed with his duties, refused to return home. Wilfred and Claude just stood there, not saying a word, while Roberto was screaming, Alberto dragging him off. Edward was very composed but still refused to leave. Seth didn't really have any emotion and just kept on mumbling something about "I just got to see her again and now she's gone"
In simpler terms, there was a very crowded hallway consisting of 7 butlers, 6 princes, and 1 King. "NOOOO! AL, LET ME GO!" Roberto screamed. Although Roberto was sitting on the ground, Alberto was still trudging along. "Al! All of them are staying! I know good and well your just as worried about her as we are!" Alberto skid to a stop and let go of Prince Roberto. "Your impossible..." Roberto ran back over to the door. "I'm not leaving this spot until Kye wakes up" Alberto face palmed.
The princes did eventually leave...two weeks later. They knew Kye wasn't waking up anytime soon so they agreed to work until she did.
Five months later...
The princes nearly forgot about Kye, who was still in a coma. She was looking as if she was about to wake up but they didn't dare tell the kingdoms...
Kye p.o.v
"Yaaaawwwnnn" I woke up to be greeted with a bright light. "What happened...?" I muttered to myself. I looked at the clock. "9:15, huh?" I thought back to what happened. "That was a pretty bad memory...I kinda wish I wouldn't have saw it. Now that I think about it, that whole thing was pretty weird." My whole body ached and I was a lot skinnier than usual. "I must've passed out after I saw that..." But why am I so...skinny? "Eh, I've probably been out for a few days. And since I didn't eat, I'm super skinny". The door opened to reveal Seth. Hmmm I have an idea. I pretended to be asleep.
"Hello, princess..." He sat on the bed. "I'm so sorry this has happened to you..." Huh? "Its all my fault..." He hugged me. When he sat up, he was facing the other way, with his back facing me. Now's my chance. I reached up, wrapped my arms around his neck, and pulled him back down. I definitely caught him by surprise because he was struggling with all his might. "Hello, Seth" he must've calmed down at my voice because he stopped struggling.
He reached up and touched my arm. But when he registered it was really me, he jumped off of the bed as quick as he could. "K-KYE?!" He exclaimed. "That's my name, don't wear it out" now that I look at him, I see now that his layered hair is slightly longer. He had shock written all over his face. "Why do you look so surprised?" I asked. He stuttered "b-because y-your...awake" I cocked my head. "Did I scare you that bad?" He shook his head. Good, at least he's settled down a little. "So...how long was I out? A few days?" Again, he shook his head and responded with a more...normal voice. "Kye, you were in a coma" my eyes shot open. "Say what?!" He sat down on the bed again.
I decided to ask the question I really didn't want to know the answer to. "So, if I was in a coma...how long have I been out?" He seemed to be thinking about it. "It's Thursday..." Thursday? Good, that means I've only been out for about a week. He started counting days. "So Saturday, Sunday, Monday, so that makes...five months" no way... "FIVE MONTHS?! I'VE BEEN ASLEEP FOR FIVE MONTHS?!" He rubbed his chin. "Actually, it's more like five months, two weeks..." Oh wow.
The door bust open to reveal father. "I heard my baby's name! Is something-" he stopped mid sentence. "KYE!" He ran over and hugged me tightly. He was rocking me back and forth, sobbing out something that sounded like "My baby! My baby!" I tried to muster up the strength to push him off of me but he was holding me so tight. "F-Father?" My voice was cracking because he was hugging me so tight. "Yes, honey bunches?" He was beaming. "I have t-three favors to a-ask." He rubbed my head like I was a puppy. "Of course! What are they?" I took a strangled breath. "One. L-Let go of me" he took his arms back. "Sorry! I just couldn't help myself!" I was breathing deeply, trying to get oxygen back into my lungs. "Two. Never call me that again. And three..." I panted. "I would like to go out to the pool or the fountain or something. I don't understand why but I'm just having this sudden urge to get near the water!" He smiled widely. "Okay! I have an idea! Be back in a tic!" he dashed out of the room, leaving Seth and I alone.
We spoke up at the same time. "So-" I shook my head. "You first" he nodded. "What happened?" I cocked my head. "What do you mean? I was in a coma for five months, how would I know what has happened?!" He slapped his forehead. "No, smart ass, I'm talking about when you tried to kill me" I glared. "Your not allowed to talk to me like that! I could get you fired!" He smirked. "But you wouldn't" damn it... I rolled my eyes. "I don't know, I was in a memory" he raised an eyebrow. "In...a memory?" I mocked him. "Yeah, smart ass" he huffed. "You were some psycho who tried to rape me" his eyes shot open. "You got raped?!" I half lidded my eyes. "No, dumb ass, I said 'tried' for a reason" I lowered my voice. "They found me out..."
Before Seth could ask any questions, father burst through the door. "Alright! Your going to spend all of next week on a private beach in southern Gardania! Of course, the princes will be invited as well" Oh wow. When I just want a glimpse of water, I get a whole week full of it. Father never fails to amuse me. "And Seth is coming, right?" I asked. Seth seemed shocked. "No, your highness, it is really unnecessary!" I gave father puppy dog eyes. "Pleeeaaassseeeeeee! I want Seth to come! It will make me really, really happy!" Father beamed. "If it will make you happy, of course he can!" I gave a fist pump while Seth was shaking his head, sighing.
Third p.o.v
In Liberty...
Prince Keith was doing his princely duties when a knock sounded through the room. "Come in" he said, not looking up from his papers. "Good evening, your highness" Luke bowed. "I have an invitation from King Hisato offering a week at a private beach in southern Gardania." Keith didn't hesitate. "No" was his blunt reply. Luke smirked. "Should I also mention that her highness, Princess Kye, will be attending as well?" Keith stopped writing and shot his head up. "You know, I think I could use a little vacation. Count me in" Luke secretly smirked and bowed. "Very well, your highness"
Kye p.o.v
The next week...
Seth and I were in the limo, about ten minutes from the beach. "Man, I can't wait! This is gonna be awesome!" Seth was in black and green swim shorts (picture whatever you want) while I was in a white bikini, the Gardanian symbol (a Phoenix) on my right breast. I was bouncing around, paying no attention to Seth. Honestly, I haven't looked at him the whole trip. Gardanian beaches are breathtaking. I would make a point to visit them a lot when I was little but I don't remember very well. They have white sand and crystal clear waters. They even have wild mustangs that run free.
When I was small, I befriended one of them. It was just a pony at the time but she was my best friend. Well...with the exception of Seth. I named her Rain because the first time we met, it was when she was stranded in the rain. She was a light brown and white. I wonder if she is still alive? I'll know her if I see her. In her white mane, there is a single strand of black. I always thought it was unique. Now, if I see her, I'll know it's her. Maybe she'll even remember me...Hell, we played so much when I was little, she would respond by name. She would even let me ride her. There's always hope she will remember though. Although it's been fifteen years, true friendship never breaks.
I turned towards Seth. "Bout time you turn in my direction" he smiled as he said it. He was leaning back in his seat, arms crossed. Fuck. He was so...hot. While I always thought Seth as skinny, I never noticed...that. He had a six pack and his arms were muscular and strong from many years of doing things for the king. Did he work out? I was practically drooling. "See something you like?" He smirked. I started bouncing around again. "What?! No! I haven't seen a naked man in five months! Not like your naked or anything. Wait. No! I didn't even see a naked man five months ago! Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah" Seth's eyes were drawn to my chest. Hmph. "See something you like?" I mocked. He was about to say something when the driver opened my door. "We have arrived." He helped me out of the limo. "Holy shit! This place is awweeeesssoommmmeee!" I exclaimed. Seth muttered. "Not as awesome as me" I glared. "Shutttt uppppp!"
I spread my arms as wide as they could go.
"Ahhhh. I feel like I could fly!"
"Pfft. When did you get so deep?"
"I don't know, when did you get so deep?!"
"That doesn't even make sense!"
"Oh, sure is does!"
The driver sighed, watching us bicker.
"How is it that you just wake up from a coma but yet your so full of energy? You were almost dead!"
"Well, you try sleeping for five months while doing nothing and see how much energy you use"
"Being in a coma and sleeping are two different things!"
"Not in my dictionary!"
Seth pinched the bridge of his nose while shaking his head. "What am I going to do with you?" "Your not supposed to do anything with me, pervert!" he groaned. "You know what I meant" "hmmm, did I?" I jumped on his back and kicked his side. "Ow! What was that for, Kye?" "Onward, Mustang!" He rolled his eyes and started walking. I started dancing, happy I was getting a piggyback ride.
"Hey, Seth?" He responded with a short 'hm?' "Remember Rain? You know, the horse with the black in its hair?" He nodded. "Is she dead?" He stood up, throwing me off his back all while ignoring my cries of protest. "Well, horses live 15 to 20 years or so, so just seeing how she was a pony when you left and it's been 13 years, probably not" I beamed while jumping around in circles. "Yaaaayyyyyy!" He pushed my shoulders down to get me to stop jumping. "Your quite the...energetic young princess aren't you?" I smirked.
"Your making yourself sound old"
"I'm only two years older than you"
"So your 20?"
He rolled his eyes. "19"
If your two years older than me, how are you 19, dumb ass?
"When's your birthday, Seth?"
"Tomorrow"
"What?! Tomorrow?! How come you didn't tell me?!"
"You didn't ask"
Ugggghhhhhh.
"Hey Seth?"
"What?"
"What's my last name?"
"How the hell could you not know your own last name?"
"I've gone through a lot of last names, Seth. I've been Kye Terran, Kye Michel..."
"Chernenkov"
"What?"
"Your last name, idiot. Your name is Kye Chernenkov"
I smirked. "Sounds Nobel"
"I wonder why?"
Our usual arguing was interrupted by the screeching breaks of a black limousine. The princes were all riding together. Seth and I rode separately because we were obviously closer.
"They're heeerrrreeee!" I exclaimed. One by one, the six figures of royalty stepped out of the car, all in their swimsuits. Each of their swim shorts had their kingdom's crest on their right pants leg.
I started staring at their toned bodies. "Ow!" Seth had flicked the back of my head. "What was that for?!" He had a devastated look on his face. "I thought you only looked at me" he couldn't keep that face long. He burst out in laughter. "Horny teenager" my face flushed red and I punched his arm. "Shut your trap!" He doubled over, laughing harder.
Roberto was the first to notice us. "Kye!" He ran over and gave me a bear hug. "Your awake! Man, am I glad to see that!" The rest of the princes surrounded us. "Sapphire! What the hell was that for?! You had me worried sick!" Joshua exclaimed, squeezing me tightly. Wilfred pried him off of me and kissed my cheek. "Don't do that to us again!" Keith was next. "I couldn't get any work done with you being in a coma!" Thankfully, Edward was more composed. "I am very thankful that you...oh what the heck" he squeezed me tightly. Scratch the 'more composed' thing. "Don't ever do that again, Princess!" I smiled. "I won't!"
Roberto started bouncing in his shoes. "So, Kye? What's it like being in a coma?" I knew somebody was going to ask that. "It's just like sleeping. I honestly thought I was only out for a couple of days until Seth told me differently" Roberto was about to unleash a fury of questions when Edward spoke up.
"Where's Prince Glenn?" Everybody looked around but their eyes stopped on me. Wilfred sighed. "That guy..." Keith smirked. "You know he's not going to be happy unless it's Kye who finds him" the others nodded in agreement. "Finnneeee" I ran off to find the remaining Prince.
I walked up on a hill. About time I find him...Glenn was sitting on the top, looking over at something. "Hey" he turned to look who called out to him. "Hey..." I sat down beside him. "What are you looking at?" He pointed at a herd of horses below. "Oh, cool"
We sat in silence. Too. Quiet. "Why did you run off?" He shrugged. "Because I didn't want to hang out with you guys, I guess" I put my hand on his shoulder. "Just because I'm older, it doesn't mean I've changed. I'm still Kye" We stood up. "Come on, let's go back. We can go swimming together. Just like the good old days"
Without warning, he embraced me.
"Please...never do that to me again"
"do what?"
"Scare me"
"I won't..."
He let go of me and I grabbed his hand. "Now, let's have some fun!"
"Hey, she brought Glenn back!" Roberto exclaimed. "Whoo! Go Kye!" Seth cheered. All of the sudden, everybody's faces turned red. Their eyes were drawn to the same place Seth's were earlier.
I elbowed Seth. "What's up with them?" He was laughing too hard to talk. "They- They- HAHAHAHA" He fell on the ground he started rolling around, still laughing. I don't like this...I need to find something to do! I spotted a soccer ball nearby. Hmmmm. "Heads up!" I shouted as I kicked the ball as hard as I could. I watched it fly and fly and fly...then slam right into Prince Joshua's face. Seth started laughing harder and the other princes joined him. That's when I saw it. Wilfred was standing on the edge of the pier. I smirked. Show time.
"GAHHHH!" I started sprinting as fast as I could. Prince Wilfred's eyes shot open. "Uh oh..." Was all he could say before I slammed into him, tackling him into the water. Wilfred came up, I didn't. They were all laughing at Wilfred when they realized that. Edward and Glenn came to the edge to investigate. I grabbed their ankles and pulled them in, each Prince pulling another one down with them. Edward pulled Joshua, Glenn pulled Keith. Now...the only one remaining was Roberto. He beamed. "CANNON BALL!" He jumped in with the rest of us. Seth had jumped in after him.
Seth pulled me under. It was unexpected so I swallowed some water on my way down. I was choking. When he realized that, he brought me back up. Edward was rubbing my back. I coughed up the water and spit it on Seth. "I don't know what your game is, but I don't like it" Keith said to Seth. "Yeah, what's your deal? You can't treat the princess like that!" Joshua scolded. "Your just a butler. You have no power in doing that kind of thing to the princess!" Keith added.
My eyes shot open which didn't go unnoticed. "Kye, calm down. It's okay" Wilfred rubbed my back along with Edward. I shoved them off and got up in Keith's face. "You do NOT talk to Seth like that." I pointed a finger at his chest. "If you think you can just come over here and act like a snobby rich kid, I suggest you go home right now. Seth is my best friend. He's not stuck up, he's not mean. He treats me like I want to be treated. I don't give a shit if he's a prince or not!" I glared at him and he hung his head. I swam over to Seth, leaving Keith dumbstruck. Seth was in awe. "Duuudddeeee. That was badass! You just told off Prince Keith!" I smirked. "I know, right?"
That night...
We were all hanging out in the villa. I was laying on the couch, feet in Seth's lap. Keith and Roberto were on the couch opposite to us. Joshua was sitting in a chair and Glenn was sitting on the floor. Edward was standing. We were just chatting away at random things.
"So, Kye..." Keith started. "Yeah?" He was searching his memory. "About 6 years ago, I spotted a blonde girl on the streets. She was homeless. She looked kind and sweet and couldn't have been any older than 12." I nodded to show I was listening. "Even through my disguise, she recognized me instantly. She gave up a huge wad of cash to another homeless man after she was about to buy food with it" again, I nodded. "And?" He gave me an annoyed look. "And? That was you, wasn't it?" I nodded. "Yup" they stared in awe. Wilfred asked. "How much was it? 20 bucks?" I shook my head. "Seventy five" Roberto whistled. "Danggggg. You have a good heart. To think you worked so hard to get it then you give it away..." I smirked. "Oh, not really. I just stole it from somebody" the room erupted in laughter.
Suddenly, the front door opened to reveal a guy I didn't know. Everybody was shocked speechless. The guy had very familiar blue eyes and long blonde hair. When I say long, I mean long enough to be braided to the side and be resting on his shoulder.
The man cleared his throat. "Sorry I'm late". He spotted me. "Who are you?" "I'm-" he cut me off. "I don't care who you are" I stood up and glared. "Then why did you ask, asshole?!" He returned my glare. "How dare you call me that!" Wilfred spoke up. "Uh, K-" "Not now, Wilfred! I have a prick to deal with" he snapped his mouth shut and I cracked my knuckles. You could practically see steam coming out of the man's ears. You could hear the anger in my voice "Now...tell me who the HELL you are so I can put it on your grave". He pulled out a sword and pointed it at me. "Yakov Chernenkov. Prince Yakov Chernenkov"
