anyway, here is the first official chapter! I hope you like it, even though its the second time i wrote it due to my computer crashing, and the first one was obviously better.
still, its better than nothing! :)
Once upon a time, there was a kingdom called: "Ohio"
The Ohio kingdom was devided into areas, and one of those areas, was the 'carmel area' which was the most prestigious area in the whole kingdom.
And in the Carmel area, in a far away tower, lived a prince.
Jesse St. James, other wise known as Prince Jesse, was the most popular prince in the land, he was the man who all of the citizens wanted to be, and all of the women in the area fell to his feet.
Prince Jesse wasn't just an ordinary prince, who sits around and does nothing.
No, Prince Jesse was the one who led Vocal Adrenaline, (the Carmel area's official Glee guild) to 3 straight victories in a row in the 'national show choir guild competition'. It was said that Jesse was the most talented performer in Carmel, and he certainly would not hesitate to say this. Jesse was not just a great ruler, but he was the snakiest, most cynical prince in all the land.
It was told that prince Jesse cared only for himself, and his only friends were the ones who admired him, but no one had actually cared for him. And for those reasons, Prince Jesse was sort of lonely. But he knew that in order to rule bigger and brighter kingdoms, he would have to be.
Yet Jesse still wished that one day, he would have adoring fans, who would wait for him underneath his tower every morning, screaming at the top of their lungs, And would appreciate him not only for him looks and talent, but because he truly has a heart.
One bright day, Prince Jesse awoke to the sound of the birds singing outside of his window, he got dressed and walked down the stairs and into his kitchen. Expecting to find his mother in the kitchen, he was surprised to find a note on the kitchen counter instead.
'Dear Jesse. Your father and I have sailed off to Bali,, sorry for not informing you earlier, we will return in around 3 months, take care!
Much love, your mother'
He sighed and set the note back on the counter. Of course his parents weren't here, they never were.
He arranged his things and left for Carmel. When he reached Carmel he headed towards his glee guild practice, which was always the first thing he had to do everyday. Vocal Adrenaline practiced everyday in the morning, and then again at night. The rehearsals were tough, and people would get injured and hurt all the time, but that's what it took to be a star, working hard and dedication.
When he arrived at the auditorium, his director Shelby Corcoran, also known as queen of Akron called his name.
"Prince Jesse, I need to have a word with you"
He walked over to her and bowed graciously, as he always had to in front of the queen.
"What can I do for you Queen Corcoran?"
Shelby smiled at her favorite student, whom she knew she could trust with everything she told him.
"I have something I need to ask from you" she said. "It's a rather long story, so maybe you should sit down."
He did as she said, and sat down in the chair in front of hers.
"Look Prince Jesse, I know I can trust you, which is why I am going to give you a task that only you can perform. I trust that you tell no one of the purpose of this task, yes?"
Jesse nodded, trying not to grin. Not many people earn that kind of trust from the queen, and that was valuable for his future career.
"As you know, we have new competition in the Lima area, 'New Directions', apparently they are quite the group, and recently won they're Lima Area Sectionals"
Yes, Jesse has indeed heard of this group.
Not only that, but without Queen Corcoran's knowledge, He went to they're sectionals and watched them perform. He had to admit, they were a very impressive group, and especially they're lead female performer, who had an outstanding voice. Not as good as his own, but outstanding all the same.
"One of they're performers" She continued;
"Is Rachel Barbra Berry"
"Is she they're lead?"
"Yes, she is"
So that's her name, he thought to himself.
"Jesse, Rachel Berry is my daughter"
He let the news sink in. Rachel Berry was her daughter.
"You mean she's adopted?" He asked curiously.
"Not exactly" She sighed. "She has two male fathers, they asked me to be they're surrogate, and I agreed. It was much before I became queen, back when my mother was still alive and she wouldn't give me what I wanted, so I rebelled against her. It was stupid and childish, and I regretted it entirely.
"But than, the most incredible thing happened" She whispered.
"I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. And at that moment, the one thing I regretted more than being a surrogate, was… giving her up" Shelby's eyes now sparkled with sadness, as if she was about to burst into tears. Jesse was baffled; he had never seen the queen so vulnerable. It amazed him. The queen closed her eyes briefly, before opening them and continuing.
"I promised her parents that I wouldn't tell her that I was her mother until she became eighteen years old, but they never said anything about her finding me. That's where you come in, Prince Jesse"
He nodded. "What do you want me to do?"
"I want you to befriend her, make her trust you, and when the time is right, encourage her to find out who I am"
Jesse was confused, to say the least. He has never seen the queen so emotional, and even though he knew he was her favorite student, he knew she had never opened up like that in front of anyone else before. But a tiny part of him worried, that maybe she wasn't telling the whole truth, maybe there was something she wasn't telling him.
But who was he to disobey the queen?
"I'll do it" he finally said. "I'll befriend her, and get her to meet you"
The queen looked him in the eye.
"Thank you" she said. "You may leave. Tell the others practice begins in 10 minutes".
"Yes, Queen Corcoran" When he reached the doorway, the queen called out for him: "Oh, and Prince Jesse?"
He turned around. "Yes Queen Corcoran?"
She gave him the tiniest smile. "If you get this done before Regionals, I'll give you the grand solo. Remember that"
He nodded, and left the room, closing the door behind him. When he left, Shelby was still sitting, wiping away her fake tears, an evil grin on her face. She had absolutely no intention in losing Regionals this year.
And with Jesse's help, she knew she wouldn't.
