Thanks for the reviews! I will try to work on my grammar from now on.
Leonora:
I was in a bed. A very, very comfy bed. I was tempted to go back to my deep sleep, but then the recent events rushed to my mind. We were hit by a semi, and I was positive we were going to die. I wondered, almost idly, if Destiny was okay.

"I don't know where she came from, my queen. She appeared with an adolescent and eight dogs just outside of the castle's grounds, unconscious."

"That's really weird. Where's the younger one?"

"Right here, your majesty."

"She's so.....frail. How badly is she injured?"

"A broken rib, and a broken arm."

"Dear lord! And the woman?"

"A broken collarbone and possibly twisted shoulder, majesty."

".....and eight dogs, you said?"

"Yes."

"Hmmmmm. I'm going to talk with my husband. If either of them wake up, send someone for us.

"Yes, ma'am."

I finally cracked my eye open, after sensing if my patch was on. The light was bright, but after blinking several times I adjusted.

I was in an infirmary of sorts, I guessed. In a....castle? What the hell was with the 'queen' shit?

"Oh, you're awake!" A woman with long black hair and warm brown eyes, wearing a nurse's outfit, smiled at me gently.

"Where am I?" I demanded, my voice raspy. "Where's Destiny?"

"Destiny?" she repeated. "Is that the girl you were with?" I nodded. She pointed

"She's in the bed next to you, but don't move your neck. It might injure you further." I slowly, cautiously bent forward, until I was sitting up straight. I still felt no pain.

"I've been through worse," I assured her. She shook her head.

"You remind me of King Crono. They say he sacrificed his life for his friends and wife once, and was revived."

"Right," I said, skeptical. The nurse blinked, as if remembering something.

"Oh!" She turned. "Ellie, get the queen. She requested to be here once they awoke." I heard a heavy door opening, and soft footsteps going out.

The nurse gently pushed me back against the pillows, then put a cup of water to my lips, which I drank from.

"So, a broken collarbone and twisted shoulder, huh?" I asked. She nodded.

"You were listening," she stated. It wasn't a question.

"Yeah. But I feel fine," I insisted, stretching out my limbs. "Well, actually, my shoulder and back hurt a little, but I feel great!" She stared at me. "What?"

"I swear on my life you had a broken bone! I know it!"

The doors burst open, and a woman with reddish-blonde hair wearing a small crown with a heart shaped diamond and a fancy gown, and a man with impossibly spiky, flame red hair with a slightly larger, plain gold crown wearing a tunic with slacks and a billowing red crown walked in.

"Hello," the woman said, smiling kindly. "I'm Nadia, but you can call me Marle, and this is Crono. Who are you?"

"Leonora Brightbolt....but everyone call me Leo," I said. "I presume you're the king and queen of....wherever the hell I am." The man nodded.

"We are. We rule Guardia. What happened to you?"

"Guardia?" I repeated. "Never heard of it. Anyway, what do you mean, 'what happened to you'? A lot has happened to me, so can you please be more specific?" "Well, how did you get here?" he decided on.

"I haven't any clue. Destiny and I were taking my dogs for a checkup, and we got in a car accident, and fell off the side of what felt like Mount Everest."

The nurse, king, and queen stared at my blankly.

"Carr accident? What's a carr, and why did it get in an accident? And what's Mount Everest?" Marle ventured. I raised both eyebrows, which I knew looked strange because my right eyebrow was mostly hidden under my eye patch.

"Don't tell me you haven't heard of a car? OR Mount Everest?"

They shook their heads. I sighed.

"Never mind. Next question."

"What is that girl to you? And why did you have so many dogs?"

"Des? She's my niece. And all my dogs are pets. I live on a farm."

"Where do you come from?"

"California, in the USA," I said proudly. Crono pulled out a map from a nearby bookshelf (a/n how convenient!) and only glanced at it momentarily before asking his next question.

"What continent?"

"North America," I said, surprised by the question.

"What world?" I glanced at him, my left eyebrow raised.

"Do I have to answer that?" I asked, rather rudely. But as far as I was concerned, it was a stupid question. He nodded. "Earth, in the Milky Way galaxy. Happy?" Crono shook his head slowly.

"I have never heard of any of these places," he said slowly. "The only conclusion I can come up with is that you're lying, or you are from a different planet." He paused. "But you aren't lying. I can see when someone tells a lie."

I fought a strong urge to tell him I had deceived the best at lie- detecting on almost a weekly basis once. Now would not be a good time.

"Do you have any other proof?"

"Ummm.. our clothes, I suppose," I said weakly. "Are they unusual compared to yours?" I pointed to my shirt with the design of a Chinese dragon, my whiskerwash flares, and my 'combat boots', all of which were neatly under my nightstand. I felt my hair, and was relieved to find my bandana still in it.

"They are unusual," the queen remarked. "But still...."

"Hey!" I said, finally coming up with an answer. "I bet you guys don't have anything like this!" I felt around my neck, and found one of two necklaces, which I took off.

"Look at all those gorgeous stones!" Marle breathed. "It's so pretty! What are the stones?"

"Amethyst, carnelian, coral, emerald, iolite, aqua aura quartz, opal, ruby, tanzanite, and zircon," I said, relieved that I found something. "It was my great grandmother's." I loved that necklace. It had so many gems, each nearly the size of a marble. I knew it was one of a kind the first time I saw it. I wore it always.

"I've only heard of a few of those stones," the nurse piped up. "She paused. "If I may, Miss Leonora, I'd like to try something." I nodded, and she scurried off. She returned soon with a small knife. Holding my arm carefully, she made a small gash. It stung about as much as a papercut. She smiled and stared at my arm. And stared. And stared. And stared some more.

Then, to my amazement, the small wound scabbed over, and became lighter and lighter, until it disappeared completely. The whole procedure had taken ten minutes.

"Holy $#%@!" I said loudly. They winced at my words, and I blushed. Oops.
Hee hee hee. Not exactly a cliffhanger, is it? Oh well. This was all in Leo's POV, but I think the next one will be all in Destiny's. Please, review and tell me your opinion.
