Max pov.
I sat down on my bed then stood up. And back again. I kept repeating the process until Nudge barged in my room squealing. Nudge is my best friend along side Angel. We all have our own personality. I' m the eldest in the three. Then it's Nudge. Then Angel. Nudge is 16 yrs-old. angel is 15 and I'm 17. Angel is a 5,2 nudge is 5,3 and I'm 5,8. Nudge and Angel are more of sweet and caring people, I don't know what I would call my self. Nudge has mocha colored skin, orangish brown eyes, and dark curls that reach her shoulders. Angel has straight platinum colored hair ,waist long, icy blue eyes. And I had blond hair too but slightly darker and different hair do. It was in layers, messy, and fluffed. My bangs were straight, they went all the way below my right eye.
Right after Nudge barged in my room Angel followed shortly but way more calmly than Nudge, who was now dancing in small circles. Ella poked her head into my dark bedroom. It was a baby blue color that matched my comforter and curtains , which were drawn. After seeing my friends she shook her head almost in a sympathetic way. With a warm smile, she was off.
Ella raised me since I could remember. I've asked before were I came from. She responded by saying she doesn't know. That I just appeared at her door one night 17 years ago. I know she's hiding it from me I don't blame her for not telling me. I'm curious but I stopped asking ages ago because even though I know she knows where I came from she doesn't have an explanation. Who knows maybe my parents couldn't or didn't want to care for me. In that case im not sure if I want to know. as I got older it felt wierd calling "mom" when she was really young. she's only 15 years older than me. so instead of calling her "mom" I called her Ella or aunty. I used to call her aunty. Now I just use that name as a tease.
" So? What did she say?" Nudge says. I'd been dreading this meeting all morning. Nudge was practically glowing when she asked. Boy was she excited about this. Today she was wearing an orange sun dress with golden designs. Which complemented her eyes nicely. Angel was also were a sun dress but thus one was white with a black belt buckle. We had heard that prince Nick ( I had to laugh at his name when I first heard it) Walker was coming from the kingdom Cascade to Moonlit kingdom to try to find the lost princess. His future wife to be, once she's found. Ella ,being close to the people who kept Moonlit in order since the royal family's disappearance, heard ,while at work, that They were going to stay at the palace while the search parties look for the princess. The guardian left a clue for them to follow. " Shes somewhere were they didn't think to look."
They were pretty flustered by this. Some saying that she purposely made the clue hard to crack. I thought that wasn't she suppose to make it hard if it got into the wrong hands? And now almost 18 years later they still haven't found her. Ella came home uneasy after finding out that more search parties were to be released. I dismissed it . It's probably all the people. She hates when it's crowded with officers. She also hates leaving me alone even though I'm of age to be alone.
" Yes Nudge, she told me all about it" I say answering her question. You can't hide the truth from Angel, who's giving me the look.
" Your not kidding right, please tell me your not being sarcastic right now..." Nudge says. My friends learned how to read me long ago. We've been friends for a really long time. And it doesn't help that Nudge really wants to know when our soon to be ruler are getting here. I put my hands up signaling surrender.
"Okay, okay they're arriving here tomorrow morning at 10:00 A.M" I say. Nudge goes back to squealing. This time Angel joins her. They are going to bust my ear drums if they don't shut up.
" I can't believe Mr. Dark and mysterious is coming to our kingdom, 'cause like that so cool and..." she trails off when she looks at us. She really wants to make us deaf with her high-pitched squeals.
" Nevermind" she says, guilty.
" Well ,Nudge, you better believe it 'cause when they find the princess he's marring her and he's going to be our new king" I say. Once im finished say that sentence I notice Angel has been really quiet. I turn towards her.
" Whats wrong?" I ask her. She mumbles her reply so I ask her again. This time she says it clearly.
" I said that I have a feeling they're going to find her soon.'"
" Me too," Nudge says. I have to agree with them something is different this time but I don't know what. This conversation has went the wrong way so I decide to change the subject.
" Are we going to see Maya today," I ask them. They look at me nervously.
" Actually we were... uh.. gonna help Gazzy and Dylan set up for Jessica's... party" Angel studder. Okay, not a big deal.
" that's okay if I ask Ella im pretty sure I can go" I say.
" The thing is Max, Jessica's mom is still upset about the last time you tried and helped" Nudge says softly as if I were a time bomb about to explode which I probably. "That was Not my fault" I try to defend myself. Beside it was not my fault that Gazzy put his new stink bomb in the air vents and they exploded when Jess' mom came in.
" We I know Max but she doesn't want to see you there till the party starts and she expects an apology." They say and look at each other. This is outrageous.
" Then I won't go!" I say stubbornly. They sigh in union. " We got to go Max we'll come back later okay." I stand and follow them to the door. We say our goodbyes and I watch them leave.
I had been studying for the literature test we were going to have on monday when Ella came in my room. I shifted so I was laying on my back, then I sat up and acknowledged her. " What's up Ells,"
" Hey Max, I was wondering if you could do me a favor," she says. "Sure what do ya' need" I ask. I'm always eager to help Ella it the least I can do after she raised me.
" Can you go and buy more fruit were running low." she says, though she seems uneasy asking me to go out by myself. I know that's not true because she came home with some last night when she came home from work. I still go out because I feel caged in when I stay in my room to long ,Ella knows that. I appreciate it.
I grab my shoes, put them on and I leave. I'm to preoccupied trying to tie my shoe lace which has come undone to notice the dark figure running my way. We bump into each other so hard we fall back together. Unfortunately I fall in the strangers arms. I'm glade I'm not wearing a dress now. I stand up and extend my hand to help the stranger. He ignores me.
I look at him expectantly. The cloak's ,I didn't notice he was wearing, hood falls back exposing a young man. He's handsome, jet black hair, eyes the color of coal, and olive skin color. Pretty tall too he towers over me 6,2 maybe?
" Aren't you going to apologize?" I ask. I start to leave after it seems like forever has passed, when he talks. " I'm sorry."
" Whatever... Just watch where your going next time" I say. He seems surprised by my snide remark." You weren't watching were you were going," he says.
I decide to mess with him. " Who do you think you are," I say in an angry tone. Now he seems genuinely confused I almost laugh at his expression he seems the kind of boy who doesn't show emotion.
Then he answers " I think I'm Fang."
