Chapter Six: Those Left In Rule

"Enrique's a Prince?" Tyson and Max looked to each other in silent recognition then burst out laughing in unison. "That's the funniest thing I've heard in ages!"

Enrique rolled his eyes. He had expected this reaction, as it had been the same when Johnny and Oliver had found out. Yet after actually taking them to the kingdom and showing them around they had come to the realisation that faeries did exist.

"Wait!" The Majestics turned their view to where Tala stood, arms crossed. "You mean you came from the other world? That means you know where the portal is."

As Enrique nodded his head Rei laughed, "You know Tala, if you wanted to go to the other world you should have asked us Neko-jins. We did come from there, remember? But what I want to know is if you did come from there, why do you need help in finding where the portal is?"

Tala sighed, "This means I have to explain everything, don't I?"

Quite a various amount of responses were heard, all indicating the same thing; they wanted to know his stories.

Kevin sniggered and leant back into his chair, "Yeah, don't think that you're gonna get outta it that easy."

Tala glared at him and leant forward, "What's to tell... I got brought here when I was young. I didn't see where the portal was and I've been stuck here since then. I was about nine years old and that was eight years ago."

Kevin frowned, "You said ten years before."

Frustrated, Tala threw his arms in the air and stood, "Haven't you ever heard of rounding up? I could just as easily not tell you the story. I don't see what it'll accomplish if you know anyway."

"No, tell us. Kevin's just trying to be annoying." Tala looked to Rei and then glared at Kevin who shrunk back at the intensity of it.

"I've already told you all there is to it anyway. I was brought here when I was young and was never shown where the portal was."

Mariah stood and placed her hands on her hips. "You haven't explained the part where you did some sort of crime, got caught, did something again, and got caught. Again. You know, the tattoo on your wrist!"

"All I did was steal something. And it was only one bloody offence!"

"You need to offend at least three times to get all of that!"

"Not if certain people have certain vendettas!"

"Looking at your attitude I wouldn't be surprised!"

"Yeah, well your attitude aint that pleasant either Pinkie."

"Pinkie!"

"Can you both please try not to shout. My parents are around here somewhere." Mariah and Tala looked to Rei and glared.

Hearing a smirking laugh (is that possible. Lol) from Brian both of them looked over. Tala sighed in frustration at the look on Brian's face. The look of superiority-which Tala hated the most.

"Don't you start Brian. I've been sick of hearing your jibes from the first day I knew you."

Mariah looked to Brian and raised an eyebrow. "You knew?"

Brian didn't get to answer because Tala laughed and said, "Of course he knew. He bloody knew from the first day because he bloody had to watch me and make sure I bloody didn't..." Tala trailed off, not liking having to remember the mistrust of the Queen at having him around.

"Make sure you didn't what? Kill anyone?"

"You know. You-Are-Really-Annoying...Pinkie." Mariah looked about ready to punch Tala into another dimension so Rei grabbed her hand and gently lead her back over to the couch. Sitting her down he started calming her down.

Lee looked to Tala curiously. "You said he had to watch you. Who told him to watch you? And if they knew you were Avarian why would they put a human on guard to watch you?"

Tala smirked at Brian and Brian knew that he was about to get found out. Tala wasn't in a good mood and was deciding to be a jerk to him for payback.

"Oh, you don't know?" Tala's voice was dripping with fake surprise. "Brian's an Avarian too. Except much to the shock and amusement of it all he's actually a noble." Everyone was surprised to hear that. "But I guess if you didn't know that you wouldn't know that it was the Queen who told him to watch me. Or that it was his grandfather who agreed and counselled the Queen in making it happen." Brian stood up and looked ready to help Mariah in sending Tala to that other dimension. Tala ignored Brian and continued on though. "Oh. Wait. You don't know who his grandfather is either. Do you?" The sarcasm in his voice was hard to miss. "You know the head of the BBA? Mr Dickinson. Do you want to know who Brian's relative is? Mr Dickinson. Wow."

Brian growled and said through clenched teeth, "One of these days you'll go too far thief." The last word was filled with loathing.

Tala didn't even flinch as he spoke back. "You think you can stop me? Just try."

Kai had been sitting back enjoying the trouble that Tala was causing but thought he'd better cool the two down before they started fighting...again. No matter how much he tried both just seemed to like getting on the others nerves. Brian hated the thought of the Prince being friends with a thief and Tala disliked Brian's thoughts of him betraying the Prince. Time with Boris-the ultimate thief and crook-had helped him become more tolerant of Tala, but his thought were still the same. Once a thief, always a thief.

Kai coughed loud enough to get the attention of the two. They looked over, still glaring, but stopped when they saw Kai looking at them. His face was one they had seen many times...shut up and calm down.

Seeing the two had calmed down slightly Rei thought it might be all right to ask another question. "Mr Dickinson? How can he be related to you? That would make him..."

"Yes, he's an Avarian." Brian's straight forward answer cut him off. "He and the Queen told me to watch the thief so that he wouldn't harm the Prince. When the Prince was kidnapped me and the crook were brought here-kidnapped too. I didn't even realise my grandfather was here until I saw him at the tournament. Guess Boris tried to hide it from me."

"You were kidnapped with the Prince? Does that mean you know where the Prince is?"

Brian was about to answer but it was Tala's turn to cut him off. "He's back in the other world. That's why we want to get back there; to find him again."

Another story was coming back to Rei's mind. He stared off as he thought about it and then realised that it must be true. "You mean that story about a thief befriending the Prince, it's true?"

Tala rolled his eyes and nodded. He was starting to get sick of all the explaining that he had to do. "Yeah it's true. I stole his purse- He followed me- I couldn't get rid of him- His dad found out- I got the blame...yadda yadda yadda."

"And you had to make a vow to watch him?"

"Yes. Is that all the interrogation? Or am I free to leave?"

He heard a muttering from Mariah, "Leave."

Ray scowled at Mariah and whispered to her quietly, "Calm down. Even if you don't like him at least don't scare him off." He didn't wait for a reply as he turned back to Brian. "So what's your story?"

Brian was more lenient in talking, surprisingly. "I already said most of it. I was told to watch the thief after he was made to make the vow to watch the Prince. I was already friends with the Prince and so nothing really changed. Then one day Boris -the Prince's assistant- decided to kidnap the Prince with the help of Voltaire. Voltaire was the King and Queen's adviser."

"What?" The exclamation was heard by all five Neko-jins and the two Faeries.

It was Brian's turn to raise an eyebrow.

Rei explained. "The Prince's assistant and the King and Queen's adviser took it upon themselves to take over the running of the kingdom due to the absence of the King and Queen."

Mariah looked shocked. "Boris and Voltaire are ruling the Avarian kingdom?"

Dun dun daaaaaaaaah... OH NO! The plot begins to unfold...
