Ella: They wanted to keep the crown inside the Royal family, and they did that in England, too, I think. Romulus was kidnapped by Teraphrae (next in line to the throne…go figure!) And, yeah…he got away.

Black Aliss: Good idea! Maybe I should put the faeries in…Thanks for the idea!

Author's Note: Sorry for the long wait, but this year I'm in seventh grade, and I had to put my studies before my stories.

The Accident That Somehow Became My Luck

Monday morning became a day of chaos. People became confused with their schedules, and went to different classes by mistake. Other people, including Romulus, took that as an advantage to make more trouble and chaos.

I almost didn't have much trouble. I caught a glimpse of Romulus' roommate. She was blond, tall, flirty, and a complete airhead. She also came from the States. Her name, Erica Perry, completed and matched her look. When she was in the same classes as my dear brother, she always sat beside him, and just wouldn't shut up. It's a miracle no one told her that yet.

Romulus usually gave me a look that said, 'You have to do something,' every time we pass by in the halls. Of course, I also had to keep an eye out for suspicious people most likely to attack Artemis. I finally had a class with my brother in physical education. We got to play soccer outside, so I wasn't complaining. Romulus and I were on the same team, so I was content.

Then, it happened. Romulus was running toward the opposing goal with the ball in his possession, when he tripped on something green. His eyes widened as he flew three feet in the air. When he landed, I heard a loud crack. I screamed and ran towards him, picking up the thin, cylinder object. He was breathing hard, his eyes wide with pain.

"Call an ambulance!" I heard the gym teacher yell at a nearby sophomore. A circle gathered around my injured twin.

"Don't touch it!" Romulus yelled at a freshman who about to poke his leg. I understood his pain. We, unfortunately, didn't have any healing powers. The ambulance arrived. I begged the medical examiner if I could come too. He looked at me strangely, but agreed when Romulus said it was okay. The doctor, Doctor Richard Thorne, inspected his leg, and said it was broken. I held in another scream as Romulus squeezed my hand gently.

At the hospital, I waited in the waiting room as Dr. Thorne fixed Romulus' leg in an operation room. I still wonder why he was put in an operation room if he wasn't going to have an operation. Dr. Thorne beckoned me inside, and the first thing I heard from Romulus was, "What the hell did I trip on?" I gave him the green cylinder, and he frowned. "What the hell was this thing doing at the school?" He asked. I couldn't help it.

"I don't have the answers to everything!" I yelled at him. He blinked a few times. "I'm so sorry," I apologized, lowering my tone, "it's just that you said 'hell' and I just snapped."

"I'm the one who should apologize." He said, closing his eyes, "I didn't see where I was going. Sorry for yelling." I nodded and turned to Dr. Thorne, whom I looked at closely for the first time. He was about six feet and a strong build, like Romulus. Although, his light blond hair and sky-blue eyes made him look like a college graduate. He had a dimple on each cheek. So basically, he was a girl's dream come true. If I saw him at a grocery store, I wouldn't have suspected he was a doctor.

"I'm Victoria Chanlese." I said, shaking his hand.

"I see you have no relation to Nicholas Canton." He smiled, "You're his friend?"

"His one and only." I laughed.

"You're not my only friend." Romulus muttered, opening his eyes.

"He'll be fine." Dr. Thorne explained, "But since he has that cast, he'll have to wear crutches."

"NO!" Romulus groaned, sitting up in an abrupt motion. "How will I get away from my over-obsessive roommate?"

"Deal with it?" I inquired, "Or lock yourself in the bathroom?"

"He can stay here if he wants," Dr. Thorne said, "until we can get his cast off."

"Thanks, Dr. Thorne." Romulus said gratefully.

"You guys can call me Richard." He laughed.

"I'll bring your homewo- oh snap- I can't drive." I groaned.

"I'll be happy to drive you to and from your school." Richard said. I nodded. Romulus' jaw twitched. I had the urge to roll my eyes. Once again, Romulus was being the over-protective brother.

"Thanks again." I smiled. "Do you mind if you can drive me now?"

"No, it's my break anyway. I'll get my keys." And with that, he left the room. Romulus handed me the cylinder.

"Be careful." He warned.

"I'm on the lookout." I whispered, hugging him. Richard dropped me off at school, and I became the girl who was dropped off by prince charming. Erica walked through the crowd of girls watching Richard leave, towards me.

"Stay away from him." She said to me, narrowing her eyes. "I saw him first."

"Dr. Thorne?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"No, stupid. Nicholas."

"Merde." I mumbled, shaking my head, "He's only my friend. He's your roommate."

"Where is Nicholas anyway?"

"He has to stay in the hospital. He broke his leg."

"Just remember my warning."

"Look, kid." I explained without emotion, "I don't want anything to do with him. He's just my friend. And if you threaten me once more, I'll personally bring him to you as a Christmas present. Now, get out of my way. I'm hungry." She crossed her arms and walked away.

"Don't mind her." Said a female voice behind me. I turned around to look who spoke. The girl was a little over five foot four with black hair and red highlights. Her facial expression was stone cold, but she was quite pretty. "She thinks she saw everyone first."

"She'll see her maker first if she threatens me again." The girl laughed. I instantly liked her.

I know this chapter is pretty short, but my time on the comp. Is almost finished.
