WHAT!?!? No reviews for the last chapter? Do you guys hate me? lol, jkjk. ^^

"Hey Ryan." Kristin said as we walked down the street towards the hotel.

"Yes, Onee-chan?" I replied.

"I decided that I'd hide that kid you saved in the hotel room." She stated.

"Your point?" I asked not knowing what she was getting at.

"Well, why the hell was there another kid there?" She asked.

"That was Joseph's little brother. I hid him there so he'd be safe." I stated not caring if she got mad.

Kristin glared at me, but then turned her head forward and dropped the matter.

---------------------------------------Back at the hotel room------------------------------------------------

"We-we're sorry! We didn't know someone was staying in this hotel room!" Joseph apologized.

"Joseph, it's okay, it's me, Sampson." Yuuri said as he tried to assure Joseph and Aaron they weren't in any trouble.

I walked over to the window and kept an eye outside in case anyone decided to search in the hotel. Depending on who they were, I'd either have to tell Yuuri to run, or make up a good lie. All the sudden, there was a knock at the door. Yuuri, Joseph, and Aaron went silent, then looked at me. I motioned for them to hide in the bathroom. They complied and silently shut the door behind them as there was another knock at the door. I put my hand on the hilt of my sword and walked over to the door. "Who is it?" I asked, trying not to sound suspicious.

"This is Wolfram von Bielefeld. I was told a boy around the age of sixteen with blond hair and purple eyes checked into this hotel room with a girl, a littl older than him with red hair and eyes. Please open the door to allow me to investigate." Wolfram replied.

"Isn't it impolite to just barge in to someone else's hotel room?" I asked, trying to stall him. I slowly backed up to the bathroom door and opened it a crack, than whispered to Yuuri, "Give both Aaron and Joseph a green pill."

"Only if you promise not to kill him." Yuuri whispered back.

I let out a slight growl, but said, "Fine." I slowly crept back to the door and said, "What did you say? I didn't quite hear you."

"I said that it doesn't matter if it's polite or not, he's suspected of being the kidnapped king, and if he isn't, he's comitted a crime by helping a criminal escape execution. Now allow me entrance or I will have to use forced entry." Wolfram responded.

"Damn it." I muttered to myself. I was stuck, if it was just me, I could escape with ease, if it was just me and Yuuri, not so easily. But, there were the two little brats to think about too. Then, a thought occured to me. I had completely forgot about something. I quietly walked over to my bag and shifted through it's contents. I found what I was looking for, a small vial of clear liquid. I glance at the door as I made a small red crystal, about the length of a toothpick, come out of my hand. It was hollow inside. I pushed the tip of it into the bottle and turned them both upside down. The liquid started to slowly flow into the crystal. Wolfram pounded on the door and said, "Open this door now!"

I took the crystal out of the bottle once it was full and turned to face the door just as Wolfram knocked it down. I threw the crystal at him and it hit his left arm. He immediatly pulled it out and drew his sword. I drew mine too. Wolfram charged at me and I used my sword to block his. I immediatly caught his sword between my sword's blade and crossguard so he couldn't move it.

"Why didn't you just open the door? He really is the king, isn't he?!" Wolfram asked.

"Onee-chan!" I heard a familiar voice yell from the bathroom door. I turned my head to see Yuuri (disguised as Ryan) standing in the doorway of the bathroom with Joseph and Aaron, both with green hair, standing behind him.

"You idiot! Why didn't you stay in the bathroom?!" I yelled at him.

"You said you wouldn't kill him!" Yuuri yelled.

"I'm not going to!" I yelled at him.

"Like you even could!" Wolfram yelled as he got his sword free from mine and stabbed it through my stomache. Aaron started crying and Yuuri and Joseph stood in the doorway staring at me with shock. I, too, was shocked. I didn't expect Wolfram to take advantage of my distraction like that. I said to Yuuri, "I won't die this easily, get to the top of the building, now!"

"Not likely!" Wolfram said as he had several of his men come in the room and grab Yuuri, Joseph, and a still crying Aaron.

"Bastard." I said as I coughed up some blood.

"If you would've just opened the door none of this would've happened." Wolfram stated. Yeah right, I thought to myself, You would've found Joseph and Aaron and immediatly have known who we were. "By the way," Wolfram said as he held up the crystal I had thrown at him, "Anesthesia doesn't work on me." He jabbed the crystal into my arm and everything started becoming hazy.

"Damn... you..." I said to Wolfram. With the last of my strength, I sent a mental message to Yuuri. Don't tell them who you are... unless they kill me... if they kill me... take the clear pill and drops and explain everything to them... but if you try to even escape while I'm alive... I will kill everyone in the castle.

Then everything went black.

Ah-ha-ha, I just love cliffies. How 'bout you? No? Too bad. ^^
