AN: Hey! It's 10:42 p.m. I'm tired. I've had an extremely long day and I'm about to pass out. But, before I do, I'm going to try to crank out another chapter… Oh well, if it's so-so, I apologize. This chapter is a little more laid back. I don't think food will be flying today. But, you will be seeing something else. Something more… hot? Annoying? Depends on how you see this little surprise/gift. Enjoy! :D

Chapter 02 – The People's Prince

Recap of Chapter 01:

Though I didn't know what she thought of me, I knew I was completely in love with her.

One thing was clear; I Leon Holt had met my soul mate, Chloe Snow.

End of Recap

Leon Pov:

As soon as the sun touched my bare shoulder and the alarm clock began buzzing, I knew instantly that I had stayed too long. Chloe began to rustle under me and I had to escape before she saw me. I grabbed my shirt that had mysteriously come off during my stay, and jumped out the window. I landed lightly on the grass below, but I had to look up. I watched as the irritated and grumpy Chloe had an argument with her clock about waking her up so early. I laughed and quickly jogged off to my apartment before my mind could tell my body to stay and watch Chloe get ready. And… shower. Chloe was right. I was a creeper.

As I reached the doorknob to my room, it sprang open. I watched as my mischievous cousin, Reddox Fang, glared at me. "Where the hell were you?"

"I was with my Snow White. You?" She huffed at me grumpily and sat back down on my bed. "Waiting for you. I'm leaving; leaving Rochester. I hear that California is beautiful. And L.A. is the place to go for celeb stalking. Pack your bags, California awaits!" I shook my head, and whispered into her multi-pierced ear that I had finally found my soul mate. I awaited her response and she squawked out a laugh. She must've thought I was the funniest thing in the world right now. But this was no joke, and I was dead serious about Chloe.

"Believe what you wish, but there are no such things as 'soul mates'. Ash Redfern and Quinn Redfern have got you believing in nonsense. You may want to believe that there is someone special out there for everyone, but news flash. There isn't. Now c'mon. I already paid for your ticket." Again, I shook my head to her and walked into the bathroom.

"Don't get too cocky. I'm older than you. And no way. I've got school to go to." I called back to her. I knew she was staring after me confused. Chloe's only been here for a day and I suddenly want to go to school. What has she turned me into?

Chloe Pov:

My alarm clock went off on its normal buzzing rampage. And as always I got into an argument with it. If Leon saw me talking to inanimate objects, let alone arguing with one, he'd think I was a freak for sure!

I slowly got up feeling the bed. It was warm on both sides and I only slept on one…. I let the thought slip out of my head as I yanked my nightgown over my head. I tossed it into the hamper and streaked to the bathroom. Finally, hot water cascaded down my body. I shampooed, conditioned, lathered, rinsed, and repeated. By the time I got out of the shower, I was super squeaky clean! I ran back to my room and riffled through my drawers and closet searching for something that was respectable for me to wear. I was stuck with a dress. A plaid red dress with ruffles and a flower. I wanted to die! Leon would never take me seriously in a girly dress that screamed SUMMER!

I had nothing else, so I silently put on the summery dress and my favorite pair of Converse. I ran downstairs, my hair flying around me, already curling up. Sliding down the railing, I made it to the kitchen in record time.

Deliciousness to my taste buds! Frosted Flakes Party time!

I finished my breakfast and snagged my trademark Kuroshitsuji messenger bag; I ran straight out the door and into my personal creeper. Leon smiled at me warmly and we began our long journey (about 5 minutes) to the bus stop, where we waited centuries (6 minutes) for the bus to arrive. Our silence did not last long though. As the bus passed by the students of other schools, Leon opened his mouth to speak.

"Chloe, did you know that our school used to be a boarding school? Actually, the school board is thinking about returning it to that state. It was an Academy built to protect the identities of its students." He chuckled as if he had told a joke. "The identities of the mysterious and evil students. You know when Emilia said she was apart of Circle Midnight? Circle Midnight is a secret witch organization hidden from the eyes of mortals, mortals being you humans. There's this thing called the soul mate principle. Brianna Lewis has a soul mate. She hasn't seen him in years though. They were split up by the Elders. I'm going in circles aren't I? Oh, well. Elders are those who wish to keep humans and 'us' away from one another. We are hidden from you because if you knew who we are, what we are, you'd be killed with the rest of the filthy human-"

I quickly cut him off, "Are you trying to insult me? Tease me? I'm not stupid. There are no such things as witches. Night World is some fantasy you believe in. No, I thought you were nicer than that!" For next few minutes, Leon stared at me shocked.

"Chloe! We are soul mates!" I slapped him as hard as I could. Why was he doing this? Did he know I loved him? What was to be accomplished by such a declaration? Why the hell am I even thinking about this? He's a jerk. He's not the Leon I know.

We got off the bus in the nick of time. The bell chimed for first period. Leon wouldn't leave me alone and I got detention from Mrs. Hanley, and to make matters worse Leon followed me. He even got detention to talk to me. I had finally had it with Leon and his trying to talk to me, so the first chance I got, I ran. And hid. And was found.

By… Emilia Moore.

"Hey, what's up with you? Why are you hiding in a bush Little Snow White?" I explained everything Leon said to me and my feelings for him. When I had finished, she was shocked and I could have sworn for a split second she wasn't breathing. Then, her voice came out in a whisper. "He told you about the Night World? How could he! It goes against Night World law!"

I let out an exasperated sigh. Was everyone trying to piss me off? Emilia stared off, probably thinking up more lies to tell me. She finally looked back with a goofy smile on her face. Emilia grabbed me by the arm and dragged me off to another room. The K building came into site and for second I thought she was going to drag me to Leon. But, instead she took me into K-07.

The classroom looked like any other, except it was filled with a bunch of kids who looked like supermodels. Tiara, Brianna, Molly, and a whole bunch of kids I didn't even know lined the walls. In the middle of the room stood a gorgeous guy who was strumming his guitar. He had amazing brunette hair that looked like a coppery red in the light, and he had nice tanned skin and his muscles were… well, amazing! There was a bruise in his neck, but other than that, he was utter perfection.

"This is Ezekiel Tibalt. Tibalt is Greek for 'the people's prince'. Honestly, he's more like the people's king." Emilia's voice had taken me by surprise. Oddly enough no one else realized that I was in the room, so when I yelped their gaze was suddenly directed on me. Three girls glared at me, Curly from D-06, Blast from E-03, and Femme from G-12. I knew them and they knew me, and well… I was scared of them because they looked like they wanted me dead.

'What is she doing here?' 'How the hell did she get in here?' 'Did Emilia bring her?' 'Is Ezekiel thinking of her?' 'Why the hell is he staring at her like that?'

All if the girls suddenly glared at me, except for Tiara, Brianna, Molly, and Emilia. Instead, they looked confused. Emilia had some sort of happy and confused look that-

"Ah!" The noise came from me. Ezekiel had gotten extremely close to me in a matter of seconds. And that had caught me off guard. While the other girls glared at me, Ezekiel smiled kindly taking my hand.

"Well, aren't you a lost one? What do they call you?" I gulped. His hands began to creep up my arms. His guitar sat in the middle of the circle of jealous and angry girls. I was screwed.

Leon Pov:

I had to get to her and fast. My mind was telling me to give her some space, but the moment I caught sight of Emilia dragging her off to K-07 I raced to her, ignoring the pestering thoughts that filled my head.

As expected, the door was locked when I got there. I peeked through the small window in the door. Chloe was with Zeke. She looked too happy and giddy from my view. I was going to murder Zeke for getting close to her. He didn't know it yet, but I was going to drive a stake right through his heart if he touched her.

I jinxed myself. I really did. I felt pathetic for feeling lost, but I knew all too well, girls fell for him with one glance. A touch? That could ruin me! Hopefully, my soul mate was smarter than those others.

Tiara Pov:

Emilia let this little twerp in here? N was going to be uber-pissed. Zeke and Leon were off limits, and she put Snow White with the Prince. Dear Lord! From the corner of my eye, I noticed Leon running past mobs of students to get here.

I thought fast and quickly casted a spell to create a false image. Leon would see his little friend enjoying the presence of the prince, but in reality she looked a little green. If she throws up on Ezekiel, I'm going to kill Emilia for letting her in!

"Chloe… why don't you go and run along now. Ezekiel has more important things to do." Curly (who the hell names there kid Curly? Is she a freaking Lost Boy? WTF?) said with a fake smile. Chloe was actually thankful someone had saved her from Zeke. Femme and Blast (again, WTF? Do their mothers hate them?) walked right up to Chloe and yanked her away from Zeke. And what did Chloe do? She thanked them.

Zeke, obviously not liking the girls grabbing Chloe, quickly slid between them. "Hey, not everything is important. Chloe and I can hang now. Chloe, right?"

She shook her head and tore off. The door slammed behind her, leaving the angriest Zeke I have ever seen. And to make matters worse, Natalia walked in with her pack of viscous clones.

"Zeke-y poo, c'mon. My daddy wants to have lunch at the Royal Night restaurant. You know the underground one? Super fantastico!" Zeke brushed her off. He turned to everyone else.

"Okay, who let the delicious human in? Girls, I'm getting hungry and that wasn't very fair," slowly but surely, Zeke was getting irritated, "Okay. Whoever tells me, who let her in, gets to keep their head."

"I let her in." Emilia was begging for a death sentence.

"There we are! An answer! Congrats on keeping your head. Now, who is she and is she taken?"

"Chloe Shara Snow. And, yes. She is taken. Leon Holt made his claim on her last night, when he slept with her."

Brianna abruptly got up, followed by Molly, and the two left without another word. I knew they were angry with Leon for going against Night World Law, as were many of the other girls who looked upset. Nobody wanted Leon to die, not even his enemies. He was easily liked by everyone, and his enemies were no exception.

Zeke grabbed Emilia by the chin and tilted her head up so that she looked at him. "Little Emilia, you are my new favorite. Please, help me, because I need you to distract Leon Holt for a few hours. His claim means nothing unless she agrees. And I can tell she hasn't agreed and she definitely doesn't know."

X…X

I was carefully moving throughout the room. Leon was sleeping by her side, and neither of them knew of her presence. Until her foot stepped on a squeaky duck.

Leon sat up immediately staring at me. I glared, my light green eyes narrowing into slits. "Why the hell are you in bed with her? Leon, it isn't smart for you to associate with her kind! Didn't Reddox give you your plane ticket?"

Something dawned on him, and he realized what I had tried to do. "Yes, I noticed your love for her the moment I saw you two. Leon, the Elders kill for this kind of betrayal. Brianna and Molly left when they heard what you did. You're going to be on everyone's list. That's why I paid Reddox to come back. I needed her to take you away; not that you'd go, I knew you wouldn't. That's why I had other precautions set in place. There is no way you can go on without having someone knowing where you are and what you're doing at all times. In short, you're screwed. Good luck."

As I had predicted, Leon was going to give up. He picked up the unconscious Chloe and held her tight against his chest. "Hell no. Tiara, you can't split us up."

"And as far as I could tell in K-07, she didn't want you. She wants Ezekiel. Have fun with that bit of information."

AN: It got a little nutty. And yes, Femme Curly and Blast were NOT a part of the original plan. I needed someone! Sorry. It was supposed to be different. I might post alternate chapters at the end of the entire story. Maybe… yeah. Okay… So, what sucked and what made you want to hurl? :D Review?

PS: Curly is a Lost Boy name, hence the reference.
