A/N Ok, chapter two…This chapter should be a little more interesting…I hope. There's a lot of Elf in here, so I'm gonna put what it means in Human in Italics, but I don't really say it, it's just to help understand it. Also, I would like to thank Warrior-Wolf and BlazingStar912 for ideas and stuff. And I would like to thank my few reviewers…THANKS! .
Chapter two
Later that day, after I fell on the table…
Abbie and I were up in my room deciding what we were going to do if we didn't get grounded when someone knocked on my door. Abbie immediately got up to answer it. I had my back to the door.
I was about to turn around, to see why it was so quite when I felt Abbie's hand on my shoulder. I continued turning and saw the two boys from the round table meeting. Hey! What were they doing in my room? And why was Abbie staring at them like that? It was disgusting! She was practically drooling!
I waved my hand in front of her face and said, "Abbie! Who are these people?"
"Shush, Kyra, we have company." Abbie said softly.
"I know!" I yelled, "Who are they?"
She finally got the hint and replied, "This is Aiden," She pointed at a boy with blonde hair and brown eyes, "and this is Bryce," She add pointing at a younger looking boy that brown hair and sparkling blue eyes. Did I just say a guy had sparkling eyes? I must be going nuts! Any ways, she started rambling on about them.
"So, are you from Thaila?" I asked, bored with whatever Abbie was talking about.
"Um…" Bryce stuttered, unaware of the question, "No. We are from a far away land."
"What land?" I asked, just to be annoying.
"We come from a land called Dara." Aiden said.
"Are you hum…" I was cut off be Abbie's elbow going into my side, "OW! As I was saying, are you human?" Abbie gave me the I-can't-believe-you-just-did-that look.
"Last time I check I was human…" Bryce answered.
I muttered under my breath, "Oh great, another arrogant, stupid, smart-allelic human." But I don't think I said it quiet enough, because Bryce and Aiden both gave me the look Abbie had given me before.
After a long silence, I said, "So…Any reason why you two are here?"
"We are your new guards." Aiden said, as he and Bryce both move towards me.
"ME?" I croaked, "Why not her?" I said and pointed at Abbie.
"Because the king assigned us to you." Bryce said and pointed at me.
I glared at Abbie and she smirked, "I guess you should have been a better child, instead of pulling pranks and listening in on round table meetings." She replied to my glare.
"Wait," Aiden said, "How could you know she was spying in on the round table meeting, unless you were there yourself?"
It was my turn to smirk now. I added, "Yes, that's a very good point. How could you know?" I asked Abbie mockingly.
"Um…Well, I…I must be off to my sewing lesson." She said quickly then left to go to her 'sewing'. I started bursting out laughing.
In between gasps for breath and laughter, I said, "That. Was. So. Funny!"
Aiden and Bryce looked at each other, and even without attempting to read their minds I could tell they were thinking 'Oh my, we are in for a long journey.'
I didn't even realize I was laughing all over again.
Before I knew it, I was speaking Elf, fluently. "I think we should call her Tarien Rashwe! Princess Trouble. Or maybe… Noldo er NOT!" Wise One. I didn't even realize I was speaking in Elf, until I saw the looks on my 'guard's' faces. "What?" I asked.
"You were just speaking Elf!" Aiden said amazed.
"Only elves can speak Elf! It's a rule!" Bryce said. Uh oh, I thought, I blew it. Maybe not…maybe if I call Magic.
"Templa! Magic! Come here girl!" I began calling, "Templa! Amin need lle sii'! Magic! I need you now!" Magic padded in, alert and ready to back me up.
"Rina. Memory." I said, and pointed to my head. Magic tilted her head to the side, "Ron rina wanwa. Their memory gone." Magic nodded and went over to the boys and knocked their feet out from under them with her tail. They both fell to the floor and would forget everything from the past 24 hours.
"Quel Templa. Good Magic." As you can see, it pays being an elf. Most animals understand it. "Vasa? Food?" I asked her. She left for the door, and we headed towards the kitchen. I stopped and told Magic to wait there. I went and used vines to lift the 'guards' onto a sofa, then left.
As I went to meet Magic, I thought, Some guards they are. They can't even protect themselves from a little tail. When I met Magic in the kitchen, I asked the chef for something for her. He gave it to me, and we went back up to my room. After I had put her food in her bowl, I looked over to see if the boys were still there. To my surprise, they weren't! I looked at Magic to see if she had seen them leave, but she had been there with me the whole time. If I had been paying attention, I would have seen Abbie walk in, and I would have seen the look on her face. But I didn't and I was in a trance.
She started waving her hand in my face, "KYRA! What did you do?" I looked up startled.
"What?" I asked innocently.
"What did you do to the guards?" Abbie yelled in my face.
"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" I yelled back at her.
"YEA H YOU DID!" We continued yelling for about ten minutes, when father walked in.
"KYRA ROSE! WHAT DID YOU DO?" He boomed. Is it just me, or was it scream in my face day? Any ways, "HOW COULD YOU DO THAT? THEY ARE HERE TO PROTECT YOU! NOT HERE FOR YOU TO PLAY CHILDISH PRANKS ON! Now, tell me what you did." His tone softened, "I did this to protect you, not to make you uncomfortable. Please, let them help."
"I AM NOT A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS! I DO NOT NEED ANY HUMANS TO PROTECT ME!" I screamed in his face, "AND IF YOU EVER THINK THAT, I WILL FIND THE ELVES BY MYSELF AND LEAVE! I WISH YOU WERE NEVER MY GODPARENTS AND THAT I WAS BACK HOME!" I fell on the floor and started weeping. Abbie came down to comfort me, while Daddy just stood there looking confused.
"I'm sorry Kyra, I didn't know you felt that strongly about having guards. I'll see what I can do about the guards, but I fear they must stay. Something evil has been attacking the elves, and I think they will come after you two next." Abbie and I looked at him in disbelief.
"What do you mean? Who is attacking the elves?" Abbie asked worriedly.
"We are unsure, but you must stay here. That's why we've given you guards, Kyra, we think you might wander off and get kidnapped."
"ME? Why doesn't she need guards?" I asked and pointed at Abbie.
"She doesn't need them, because she isn't the one that goes outside of the castle."
I was about to protest, when I stopped myself. He was right. I could always ditch them any ways.
"OK, I'll say I'm sorry and leave them alone." I said.
"NO! Don't say you're sorry! They can't know what you did." He said, "I'll go get them and tell them that they fell and you saved them. OK?"
"Ok." I stated simply.
Later that day…
Bryce and Aiden were back to following me around. I had told them that they hit their heads, and I called a doctor. I can't believe they bought it. The two guards were following me everywhere! If I didn't ditch them soon, I would go crazy!
As I went into Abbie's room, the two boys followed. Yes, I mean boys.
I turned and looked at them with icy blue eyes, "Why do you have to follow me around so much?" I demanded.
"Well…um…it was The King's order." Bryce answered.
"Is there any way to make you stop? I mean, I am the Princess…" I said.
"Well, let me think…" Bryce said and pretended to think. Yeah right, like that would ever happen. Finally he said, "If you give me a kiss on the cheek, then we will back off a bit." That's what he said, but he was thinking 'I hope she says yes. I would love it, even though I know she'll say no.' I made a gross face. I mean, come on. Can you say stalker?
Any ways, I replied, "Um…Do I have to?" Bryce and Aiden moved towards me and I practically yelled, "Alright!" Bryce smiled. I think I was going to faint.
OK, I'll leave it at that, or else I'm gonna write forever…Any ways, hit the pretty button down there. OK?
Look down.
