LadyMysteri: Actually, less than 8. It's her dad, Jamie and Sarah. Oh yah, sorry if you find this chapter to be boring and like other fanfictions. The next chapter will be better though. Nicole is under the influence of her step dad, Brendon just hates Mace's guts, her mom loves her(as unlikely as that seems, she does). So only 2 people want to kill her.

Lili: :)

Warning: There won't be a ton of chapters after this one...there WILL be a second one("book")...but I don't know if I should post it on Fanfic(here) or Fictionpress. Any suggestions?

*Please excuse any mistakes*


Crap. They were fighting over me? That just sucked.

Knock! Knock!

"Go away."

Then the door opened. Xanthe, Jade, and Mace poured into the room. I shook my head.

"You have got to be freaking kidding me." I looked over the open door…and an idea formed in my head.

"We aren't kidding." Said Xanthe.

I slowly stood up, ran, and jumped out of the plane. I looked down. I was over the ocean, and I didn't see any nearby islands. Good. There was no one to save me from my death.

So you might be wondering why I jumped out of the plane. I didn't want people dying for me. I mean, if it was mainly because of me, then I would save millions of lives. The "war" would end. Then I fell on something really hard. I looked down. It was Xanthe. Damn it! My plan epically failed! No!

I rolled off of Xanthe and fell. I closed my eyes.

"What the hell Ever!"

I looked down and saw scales. I was on Xanthe again. I rolled my eyes.

"Why can't you just let me die?" I asked her, while we were soaring upwards.

"We need you Ever."

"No you don't! If I die then the war will end! I was just about to save millions of lives! And you had to ruin it!" Then I started to sob. "Please kill me."

She looked back at me. "No."

I frowned. "Why not. What's more important, millions of people or just one person that is named Ever, who might have died a few months ago because her evil dad wanted to kill her?"

Xanthe sighed. "Sorry Ever, but Mace, Jade, William, and I aren't going to let you die. Besides, if you died then who would take care of Butterscotch II and the other kittens?"

Damn it, she had a good point. I had to take care of them.

"Fine. You win!"

Then she stared to fly towards the plane. A few minutes later we were back in the jet. When we arrived, Mace gave me a huge hug.

"What was that for?" He whispered in my ear.

"Why should I tell you? What happened between you and Brendon that made you 2 hate each other so much? And Why in the world did you start a fucking war because of me?" I hissed into his ear.

He whispered something into my ear-it was in another language. "Jeg elsker du ."

I looked at him, confused. "What is that supposed to mean?"

He frowned. "You don't know what Jeg elsker du means?"

I shook my head and looked at Xanthe. She was grinning. Then I turned back to Mace. "No, I don't know what it means."

"It means 'I love you' in Danish."

I rose my eyebrows. "Really?"

"Yes."

"Ew."

"What's so gross?"

"You love me! Ewwww!"

Mace shook his head. "Was has gotten into you?"

I cocked my head. "Nothing."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm fine."

"Alright."

"Can I be alone for a little bit?" I asked them.

Xanthe looked at Jade, then she looked back at me. "Jade and I are going to be in the other room, okay?"

Then they left me alone with Mace. Great. I flopped down on to the queen bed. He sat on the edge of the bed.

"Are you really okay?" He asked me quietly.

I shrugged. "I don't know. What do you think?"

"You aren't ok."

I looked over at him and nodded.

"Does that mean that you aren't ok?"

"Suppose so."

"Why?"

"You and Brendon! What else?"

"Right. I'm sorry that we have to do this to you." He looked over at me. "Do you forgive me?"

" I don't know." I rolled over on to my stomach. "It depends. Why can't you just tell me the big deal between you and Brendon? I don't get it!"

Mace put his pointer finger over my mouth. "Don't mention him. It's a long story, alright? Drop the subject." He took his finger off of my mouth.

I sighed. "Fine. I won't push it."

"Good. How are your bruises and cuts?"

I glanced at my body. "They still hurt."

"Do you want me to get some band aids and stuff for your cuts?"

"Sure, why not."

"I'll be right back." Mace got up and left the room so he could get some medical stuff for me. He returned to the bedroom a few minutes later. "Alright. I got some stuff for your injuries."

"That's good." I responded and looked up at his face. "Are you sure that you want to do this? I can put band aids and stuff like that."

"I'm sure-it isn't dissecting organisms or anything like that."

I nodded and he started to clean up my cuts. Mace put some cream on all of the cuts on my legs.

"Does that sting?" He asked me.

I bit my lip. "A little."

"Will you be ok?"

I rolled my eyes. "Yes, I'll live."

Mace smiled at me. "Good."

I looked out of the small window. "Why do you always save me and why me? Why don't you chase other girls?"

"You're different and special."

I laughed. How was I different and special? I mean, really?

He frowned. "Don't laugh at me Ever. I mean it." Mace grabbed my left arm and wrapped a bandage around my cut. "There you go." Then he pushed my bangs to the side and I gulped.

"What the hell are you doing Mace?," I asked nervously.

Then he kissed my forehead and pulled away. "That."

I rolled my eyes. "Idiot."

"Hey. I saved your life more than once. You could at least be nice to me."

I closed my eyes and fell back on to the bed. "I'm tired!" I whined.

"Do you want me to tuck you in?"

I gave him a disgusted look. "Ew, no!"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

Mace snickered. "Too bad, I'm going to do it whether you like it or not. Get up before I pull you up myself."

I opened up my eyes and stuck my tongue out at him. "Fine, I'll get up." That's what I did-I actually got up and let him tuck me in because he FORCED me to!

I pulled the ruby red blanket over me. God, the pillows were so comfy! They were also ruby red. I layed down on my side and closed my eyes.

"Jeg vil se dig senere, min kærlighed."

"What does that mean?"

"I will see you later, my love."

"Oh."

"Søde drømme Ever." Then he closed the door before I could ask him what it meant. I went to sleep about 4 minutes after he left.

Later:

I woke up to feel something around me and it wasn't the blanket. I glanced over my shoulder…and saw Mace.

I shook my head and tried to get out of the bed so I could push him on to the floor. It didn't work. Then I heard some laughter. Jade was peeking through the window in the door.

'Help me!' I mouthed to her.

Jade smiled and walked away.

I sighed in defeat.

"Hey, you are awake.," Stated Mace.

"Why in the world are you hugging me and in the same bed as me?"

"Number one, I love you. Number 2, I didn't want you to jump out the plane again and kill yourself."

"Right. Now can you get up?"

He sighed. "I'll get up." Mace let go of me and I immediately got off of the bed.

Someone knocked on the door. It was Xanthe and Jade. They were smiling at each other.

"What is it?" I asked them.

Jade giggled. "You too are so cute together, that's all."

I crossed my arms over my chest. "No we aren't!" I protested.

Mace was smiling too. "I agree with them."

I stomped my foot. It was 3 to 1. So unfair! "You guys are weird!"

Mace wrapped an arm around my shoulder and I pushed him away.

"Stop harassing me!" I whined while looking up at the 3 of them. All of them were at least 3 inches taller than me. I felt so small!

Jade frowned. "We aren't harassing you."

"Yah, sure you weren't."

"Hey, who is hungry?" Jade randomly asked.

"I am!" I exclaimed.

"Good!"

The 4 of us walked to the table in the room between the cockpit and the bedroom that we were just in.

I sat down next to Jade. A young man with orange hair and hazel eyes walked over to us.

"Hello everyone, my name is Henry. I am this jets cook and waiter. What do you want for dinner?"

"Do you have waffles ?" I asked Henry.

He gave me a weird look and nodded. "Yes, I can make that. What is your name?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"I just do?"

I shrugged. What the harm in telling him my name? "My name is Ever."

Henry rose an eyebrow and glanced over to Mace. "Ah. So you are the one that Mace has talked about repeatedly." He turned to Mace. "I'll chat with you later-after dinner."

Mace nodded. "I'll have some chicken."

Xanthe and Jade told Henry what they wanted. Xanthe wanted some soup and Jade also wanted waffles.

"So what did you say about me?" I asked Mace.

"Stuff. I'll tell you later."

I sighed. "Fine."

"Opps! I forgot drink orders! What do you want?"

"I'll have lemonade."

"Ok."

"Coke."

"Pepsi."

"Apple juice."

Henry wrote our orders down on to a small notepad.

"Anything else?" He asked us.

I shook my head. "Nothing."

"Alright." Then he walked away.

About 10 minutes later, he arrived with our food and placed it on to the table.

"Here is your food.," announced Henry.

"Thank you.," said Jade. Then she took a bit of her waffles. "This is really good!"

Henry smiled. "Oh, your welcome darling."

Now it was my turn to give Henry a weird look. He just called Jade darling.

"Hey, I have a random question…," I asked him.

He looked at me with raised eyebrows.

"What is it?"

"How old are you?"

"I am 16 years old. How are all of you-except for my cousin."

I quickly looked at Jade, Xanthe, and Mace. Which one of them was Henry's cousin? I knew that it wasn't Jade-I know, it sounds weird. I know all of her cousins though and she didn't have one named Henry.

"They are all 15.," answered Mace.

Oh. So Henry was Mace's cousin. That made a lot of sense.

Henry smiled at Jade, who was gazing out the window.

"All right, here are your drinks." He placed Jade's drink down in front of her before he gave Mace, Xanthe, and I our drinks.

Jade looked up at him and he blushed. Aw. Henry had a crush on Jade I didn't really mind. Henry was…handsome with his forest-like eyes and short-ish, loose pumpkin colored curls.

"Thank you again.," Stated Jade.

He smiled at her again. "You're welcome…what is your name?"

"Jade."

"Ah, what a lovely name."

Now it was Jade's turn to blush. "It isn't THAT lovely, like Ever or Ella."

Gah.

"Hey, Jade is a better name then Ever and Ella. WAY better.," I protested.

Mace frowned at me. "Can I tell you something in private-right now please?"

I scratched my chin. If I went with Mace, he might harass me with his "love", but I wanted to leave Jade and Henry alone to chat.

I sighed. "Sure, why not."

We both got up and walked to the bedroom. Mace closed the door behind us.

"What do you want to tell me?"

"Don't say that your name sucks."

I crossed my arms. "Yes it does. Jade is a cool name, unlike Ella and Ever."

Mace held my chin up with one of his fingers and whispered something into my ear.

"Never say that your name is bad-your name is beautiful, Ever."

I snorted. "Yeah right."

He frowned. "Stop being so damn sarcastic and love yourself. What do I have to do convince you that aren't a worthless piece of shit?"

I didn't say anything to that. It was true. I was worthless little piece of crap.

All of a sudden, Mace kissed me on lips. I was once again frozen in a blanket of shock.

"You aren't worthless and trash Ever."

"Yes I am." I whispered back.

"Don't say that."

"I'm a worthless piece of crap."

"You will never be a worthless piece of shit."

"I'm a piece of crap. Do you know how many people don't care about me? The whole world does! Except for 6 people!"

Mace rose his eyebrows.

"I'm worthless! I don't have a lot of friends because at my old schools, everyone was like, that's girls ugly and that popular girl is hot…fuck the ugly girl, I'm going to interact with the chic. The most amount of friends that I had at my old schools was 1, and of course it was Jade. But she had a lot more friends than I did…people ignored me a lot. I was a nobody…"

"You aren't a nobody, never was, and never will."

"Whatever."

"Ever…"

"It's true! I'm a nobody. I know that I shouldn't give a damn, but still!"

"Ever, you aren't a nobody and you know that."

I sighed. "Can we drop the subject?"

He wrapped his arms around me. "Sure."

I tried to break free of his clutches, but of course it didn't work.

" Let me go!"

"No."

"Why not? Come on Mace! LET ME GO!"

The door burst open. Xanthe was there.

"Is everything alright?," She asked us. We met eyes. "Oh…should I leave you 2 lovebirds alone?" Xanthe's arms were crossed.

"No! Stay here! He won't let go of me!"

Xanthe shook her head. "Come on Mace, let the girl go."

He kissed the top of my head and looked up at and stuck my tongue out at him.

"Fine." Mace let go of me and I sprinted out of the room-to come face to with something I didn't really want to see.

Jade and What's-his-name were sitting on the couch and kissing.

"Oh god, get a room."

They pulled away from each other. Jade smiled at me and Henry glared at me.

"Do you mind?" He almost shouted at me. "Have you no respect?"

"Uh…"

"Henry, let it drop. Don't insult her or I swear that I will break up with you!" said Jade.

Henry looked down. "I'm sorry… what is your name again?"

I rolled my eyes. "My name is Ever."

"Oh yeah. Now I remember!"

Jade and Mace glared at Henry.

"What?"

They didn't say anything. I sat down and finished eating my pancakes.

"ATTENTION EVERYONE, WE ARE GETTING READY TO LAND!"

Mace sat down next to me and I closed my eyes.

"Are you ready to help us beat Brendon?," He asked me.

I shook my head. "I can't help you."

"Why not?"

"Mace, I'm the freakin' prize. It's between you and Brendon-not Me and you versus Brendon! I have to be neutral- but I will help you free Saturn and Xanthe's sister."

He smiled. "Great!"

A few minutes later, the jet landed somewhere and we got off.

"Where in the world are we?," I asked.

Mace scanned the area with his eyes. "We are somewhere near Blackwater Academy. We can't just storm through the front door because there are guards and everyone has left Blackwater Academy. The four of us have to go through a secret entrance though. Luckily I know where one is."

"Where is that?"

"The tower." Mace slung his backpack over his shoulder. "Let's go."

And with that we started walking towards Blackwater Academy…


Yay for Jade!
