Hey there! Right now I'm in a big mood to just write, haha. I'm having a little trouble figuring out what song to start this chapter with. Usually it takes me at least a half hour to find one.

The song has to go with the chapter completely. So let's see what I pick!

ENJOY AND LOVE IT!

Tori Elaine.

P.S. Every 2 chapters I will do a Kingdom update, so next chapter will be one of the kingdom.

Today is a winding road that's taking me to places that I didn't want to go
Whoa (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Today in the blink of an eye I'm holding on to something and I do not know why
I tried

I fell asleep on the couch waiting for my Uncle to call me back, the pillow was wet with tears and my mother's book was sitting on the table in front of me.

I was still asleep when I felt a pair of arms slid underneath me and start to carry me up the stairs.

"Uncle Luc?"

"No…shhh…Aya just got back to sleep."

"Okay."

I let my eyes shut and rested my head of the shoulder of who ever was carrying. Maybe if I were actually awake and listened more closely to the voice talking I would have demanded him to put me down and start explaining himself to me.

He laid me gently in my bed and pulled the covers up to my chin. He kissed me softly on the forehead and sat down for a couple of seconds.

"I'll back later today to see if you're okay." He sounded far, not that I cared at the moment I just wanted sleep. I had wasted the whole night waiting for my stupid Uncle to give me one simple call.

He got up off the bed and left, I was asleep before I could actually hear the door shut or his car start.

2 HOURS LATER

"OH GOD! OH GOD! WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME?" I woke up screaming with my head pounding so hard I couldn't see straight. I tried to get out of bed, but my legs went numb and I slammed to the ground.

I kicked and screamed praying for my head to stop pounding. Images were flashing in front of my eyes, flashes of war, movies, books, singers, and world events.

I screamed louder as I started hitting my head on the ground just make the pain go away. I heard someone running up the steps and stop in my doorway.

"Aya…" I couldn't see him, but I knew who it was. My eyes couldn't focus, everything was blurry and out of shape.

"HELP ME!" I screamed hitting my head once more on the floor trying to knock everything out, trying to get the pain that was making my head feel like it was going to explode.

I felt his arms go around and me lift me up to carry me downstairs. I was thrashing in his arms, but the pain wouldn't leave. I was still seeing images and pictures like you would see on the News. News? What the hell is the News?

I didn't know how I knew what the news was or how I knew what happened in this world all the years I've been alive. It seemed like everything was cramming itself in my head, like I knew everything, like I've lived here my whole life.

The pain slowly faded 30 minutes later, Ryan still holding me. I could smell my blood mixed in my hair, I could also tell Ryan wasn't breathing.

When it was all over, I was breathing like I just got done running a marathon. Marathon? What the fuck?

"Aya are you okay?"

"I want to take a shower, a nice long shower."

"Do you know what a shower is?"

"Yes it's wear you stand up and wash instead of a tub."

I didn't know how I knew that, the kingdom all we had were tubs. But I knew and I knew that instead of rose petals to make my hair smell good I used shampoo.

"What happened? I came here to check on you again and heard you screaming and thuds, I ran up to see what was wrong and you on the floor kicking and screaming."

"I don't know I was sleeping when my head just started to hurt so much I screamed out in pain. Then images and pictures just started flashing through my mind. Now it's like I know everything, what happened, how to work things."

"What do you mean? I'm confused…"

"So am I. But I know I need to sign up for High School and that I need to be the 10th grade."

I slowly stood up out of his arms and started walking up the stairs. With each step my head pounded from where I hit it on the floor. When I turned into the bathroom, I forgot that we had throw away everything since everything was out of date and no good.

I walked back downstairs to see Ryan sitting there, looking very confused.

"I need to go to Wal-Mart."

"Aya you need to wash your hair, the blood stands out more since you're a blonde."

"Alright help me because my head hurts."

"Okay."

I went into the kitchen and put my head in the sink. Ryan warmed up the water and gently sprayed it through my hair. I saw the water go red and closed my eyes. I had a weak stomach.

"You bashed your head pretty good Aya. Nothing serious, small cut."

I nodded and told him to just finish up. He ran upstairs to me get me a towel. The cut wasn't bleeding anymore, but when I looked at Ryan's shirt I saw the blood on it. I ran up the stairs again and got him one of Luc's old shirts. He pulled off his old one and pulled on the new one. He had really nice abs…

I put on some flip-flops from the hall closet. This is so weird. How do I know what these are? I've never seen something like this all my life!

I walked to Ryan's car and jumped in the passenger seat, he slowly followed looking very confused. He handed me my purse, which I had left sitting on the table next to the front door.

"Thank you, I forgot to grab it on my way out. I'm kind of in a daze."

"I don't get it, yesterday you didn't know anything, now you know what Wal-Mart is, showers, and I don't know what else."

"Well yesterday when I got here after my Uncle left I went upstairs and I just looked at an my m…at an old laptop sitting on a desk upstairs and I knew everything about it. How it worked, the password to get on, and how to work the Internet."

"Then you woke up this morning, screaming in pain?"

"Yah."

"I'll have to ask my father…"

"Do you think he'll know?"

"Sure…" He voice sounded far away, his eyes look distant. I didn't bother to ask any more questions, I had a feeling that he wouldn't hear me.

When we pulled into the Wal-Mart parking lot I got out and ran to the doors. I got the little rolling cart thing and started to the shampoo area. I picked out a shampoo that smelled like Green Apples and then got some conditioner. I then got some soaps and bubble bath. I think got something that said it would take all my make-up off leaving no dirt behind. Ryan followed closely behind putting things back he didn't think I really needed. I went to the make-up area next, I hadn't unpacked yet, but I didn't think they packed much of my make-up.

I loaded the cart with eyeliner, eye shadow, lip stick, nail polish, and mascara, and then some blush to add color to my to of white of skin. I then pushed the cart to the food area and bought different foods that I thought would be good. Ryan put some things in and then took some things out.

I got a journal and pens so that some way I could write to Quil, magazines, books, and posters. I then led a very tired Ryan to the music section and piled up on CDs of bands and singers that I saw in my images from this morning.

"The Rocket Summer? Do you even know he is?"

"Yes. He sings Teenage Rock Love, So Much Love, Brat Pack, and Do You Feel."

"How do you know that?"

"I don't know."

I walked over to the camera section and picked out a green digital camera; if I could I would send Quil and the others pictures of everything. Ryan told me that I would need a memory card and batteries as well.

After another hour Ryan told me that I had enough to last me forever and that I probably didn't have enough money for everything. He looked at me strangely when I told him about my Uncle's credit card and that he had nothing to worry about.

He went into one of his strange moods whenever I mentioned my family. When we were in the check out I remembered about Nick Andrews/Lord Marcus. My palms started to sweat and my heart sped up.

At the sound my heart Ryan turned and looked at me strangely. I didn't look at him, but prayed for the check out lady to go faster. When she was done the price came out to be $230.66. I swiped my Uncle's credit card and signed it. I took the first cart and Ryan took the second one. We shoved everything into the car, I wanted to find out what was going on with him and his might be double life.

We got back to the house and he helped me bring everything into the house. It only took 2 trips, since we could carry almost everything with our strength. When we got inside he put everything away as I went upstairs to take a shower.

I took a long, slow shower. I was thinking about everything. What if he is Marcus? Do I tell my Uncle? Do I ask him for his side of the story? Do I just pretend I don't know so that I can just go on and live life with him? Does he even have the same feelings as me?

I scrubbed my hair with the green apple scented apple and let the thoughts get washed down the drain with the shampoo. At Wal-Mart I had also bought razors because somehow I knew that it wasn't like girls to have hairy legs or under arms.

When I was done with my shower, I wrapped myself in a thick red towel and walked into my bedroom. The bathroom was connected, so it made it easier to make sure Ryan didn't see me half naked. I slipped on some underwear that was in the dresser, not really worrying that they used to be my mothers. Now when it came to the bras I was worried, I was much bigger than my mother, I had got some at Wal-Mart (Ryan wouldn't stand with me as I bought them), but I didn't want to wear them before washing them first.

I slipped on some sweat pants of my mothers, the said Victoria Secrets on the label, then boyfriend style on tag. I opened up my mother's closet and pulled out a plain white shirt. I slipped it over my head and looked down. It was a little small, my stomach showing a good two inches again.

I crossed my arms over my chest and started taking deep breaths. I knew I needed to face him, I knew that I needed to find out who he was and if his father was even real.

I slowly went down the stairs and walked into the kitchen. He was leaning against the counter putting the batteries and memory card into my new camera. He turned it on and then lifted it up. I smiled when he pointed it at me and took the picture. I would send it to Quil to show him that I was doing fine. He put the camera down and picked up the thing next to him.

It was my mother's book.

"Why are you reading this?" he asked quietly. "If you wanted to know about the Queen you could have asked me. I know enough about her."

"How do you know anything about her?"

"I just do and I can tell you I don't like her."

"I finished it last night…"

"Yah what did you think of the full of shit story?"

"I think you sound a lot like Lord Marcus…I think you know him or you could be him." He laughed at me; it wasn't a nice laugh either.

"You think I'm Lord Marcus?"

"Yes."

"Have you ever been to the Kingdom?"

"It's where I grew up."

He threw down the book onto the counter and moved over to me so fast and slammed me up against the wall I didn't have time to do anything. He had my arms pinned to my sides so that I couldn't move. His body was pressed flat against mine so that there was no air between us. His eyes were on mine, his lips only a couple of inches away.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't think I had too."

"I am who you think I am."

He stared at me some more before pressing his lips hard on to mine. I knew I should have pushed him away, ran upstairs, and called my uncle. But instead I wrapped my legs around his waist and kissed him back. He released my arms and wrapped his around my waist as we started to French kiss.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, knowing that right now I shouldn't be doing this. He killed my Aunt and scared my mother half to death. But all I could really think about was how he made me feel things I have never felt before.

He began to walk upstairs to my room before I could say anything. He shut my door and laid me on my bed, never stopping the kiss. He was on top of me now, I could still push away I thought. But instead I removed his shirt and started on his belt.

Things were going so fast so quickly and I knew that I should stop them. Turn him in, but I didn't want too. I didn't want to stop anything.

Even when I heard my cell phone ringing, even when I knew if I didn't answer my cell phone that my Uncle would come. Then when I heard someone downstairs I still didn't stop, either did he.

Even when Marcus or Ryan, became one with me.

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain

Yes I know she hasn't known Ryan that long, but Binky didn't know Sam that long either. Hehe. I think I'll have the new chapter posted tonight as well. But you'll have to wait to hear what happens with Marcus and Aya next time.

The song is Thunder by Boys Like Girls.
