Chap 1
We were on the Dragomir private jet on our way back to the Academy. I was sitting next to my best friend Vasilisa Dragomir. Next to mine, her family is the smallest Royal family, with only herself, her parents and her brother Andre remaining. My family is the smallest with only my sister Nicole and myself, Princess Rosemarie Santanov remaining. It's depressing to think that just days after my father had been crowned King, the plane he and my mother were on crashed, leaving me with the title resting on my shoulders. Sure I was already Princess before the accident but now I have to take care of Nicole and uphold the family name. For a long time the Royal council depended heavily upon my family. Next year when I turn 18 I'll be able to take my rightful spot on the council with Andre. Andre now has the title of Prince because when my parents died, his father was elected as our new King. Don't get me wrong, Eric Dragomir is a wonderful King, I just wish my parents didn't have to die for him to be elected. I was jolted out of my thoughts by a soft thud. I oppened my eyes to see Andree sprawled on the floor next to my seat.
"What are you doing down there?" I whispered to him.
"I was coming to talk to you because I saw you were the only one awake besides the gaurdians, but they're no fun to talk to. But on the way down the aisle I didn't see that Mason's foot was sticking out, and I tripped over it." He told me. I couldn't help myself, his disgruntled face was just too priceless and I started cracking up.
"Ok so nice of you to laugh at the guy who injured himself on his way to save you from boedom." He joked. I just smiled innocently up at him. Once he had gotten off the floor, we made our way to the front of the plane full of alert guardians. Before we sat down, he went and grabbed two Cokesfrom the fridge. I was about to ask how he knew it was my favorite but I decided that since I lived at their house over the summer, he would know. I saw him squeeze his eyes shut and rub his forehead.
"Did you hit your head when you fell?" I asked him
"I must have, because it really hurts." He told me. I automatically reached my hand to his forehead to heal it. I saw that he was about to protest, but decided against it. That made sense because he knows how the darkness can affect Lissa and I but it doesn't matter as much seeing as we're both bonded with someone.
"Thank you." He told me when I was done. I just nodded my head. Just then my eyelids started to droop from the use of Spirit and the fact that it's so late. Andre was staring at me so I know he didn't miss it.
"Sleep," He whispered.
"I don't want to have nightmares," I said quietly while tears sprung into my eyes. Recently, I've been having nightmares about my parents' deaths.
"I'll wake you, if you do," He told me.
"Promise?" I asked. He nodded his head. With that, he put his arm around me, and as I rested my head on his shoulder I fell asleep.
