I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to continue with this. I'm really trying to get better at putting up new chapters faster but I'm not known for it. In fact, I have about 3 other stories that should be updated before this one but I just wanted to work on this one because it's so much fun! I hope you all enjoy this chapter.

Me: I own EVERYTHING. I'm the Queen of the world!!! *twirls fake mustache* *grins maniacally*

Lucius: *growls* You own nothing, peasant!

Jessica: *puts restraining hand on Lucius' chiseled arm*

Me: *gasps* How dare you call me a peasant, leech!

Jessica: *gasps* *releases restraining hand from Lucius' chiseled arm*

Lucius: *attacks*

Me: *...*

After watching the decrepit yellow automobile chugg a small ways down Antanasia's road, Lucius began his hasty treck towards the high school in which his princess attended. He chuckled darkly under his breath. The thought of himself, Lucius Vladescu, stepping his princely feet any where inside the confines of an American high school was more than slightly humorous. He never thought this day would come but he must do what he has to in order to save his people from their demise, and if that meant lowering myself to the lifestyle of teenage Americans, then so be it. He'll do what he must as long as his people are safe, his family name is honored, and he makes his uncles happy. I wonder what Vasile would say if he saw me now...

Lucius' reverie was broken as he came upon the school. Teens milled about on the lawn and in the adjacent parking lot filled with cars, old and new alike. He paused on the edge of the premises, just taking it all in. The enegry coming off the students was almost tangible and it came off in waves. He immediately began scanning the crowd anxiously for Antanasia. He couldn't find her anywhere among the animated adolescents so he took his search inside, following some of the students into the main hallway.

Lucius' anxiety spiked even more when he still couldn't find her in the packed out hall. Students got out of his way as soon as they caught sight of him and, under normal circumstances, he would have greatly enjoyed their distress. He was known for being a very intimidating character when need be. This was one of those instances. If something has happened to Antanasia... Lucius trembled as his thought processes became more befuddled with his rising anger and concern. If anyone had hurt her then God help the person, because they would need all the help they could get.

Just when Lucius was about to implode with the force of his anxiousness, he finally spotted her. She was talking with another girl but Lucius didn't really pay any attention to the other girl. He only had eyes for Antanasia.

"Antanasia..." Her name had slipped from his lips involuntarially, as a sigh of relief. She spun around so fast that lucius was afraid she might fall but her eyes never came in contact with his. He remained hidden in the bulk of the crowd, never once allowing his eyes to stray from Antanasia's form.
