Chapter 9

Jay hurried back to his apartment, followed by Zane and Kai. It turned out that the three had been closer than they thought, because they all lived on the same floor.

"See you guys tomorrow," Jay said.

"Yep," was the response.

Jay pulled his deep blue suitcase out of the closet, and started throwing clothes in at random. He put his nunchuks in last, laying them carefully under a few shirts. He took a quick shower and brushed his teeth before diving under the covers.

Whenever he opened his eyes, he realized that he didn't dream at all. Feeling hyper, Jay scurried out of his blue pajamas with white strips and into a pair of jeans, a white t-shirt, and a blue hoodie. Jay ate a breakfast of toast with raspberry jam, scrambled eggs, and sausage from a few days ago. After breakfast, he brushed his teeth, flossed, used mouthwash, and combed his hair so it looked nice. He figured that if he was going to live with the prince for a couple of days, his teeth and hair had to be nice. Even though he was going to have to redo the entire process later on, but he didn't care at the moment.

Jay threw his toiletries in a bag, and then stuffed that one into his suitcase. He looked at the watch on his left wrist. He had about twenty minutes until noon. He opened his door and walked into the hallway. Zane and Kai must have had the same idea, because they were standing in the hallway.

What are you going to do with your extra stuff? Jay mentally asked himself as the three young men set off, not saying a word to each other. I'm probably going to send it back to Mom and Dad. They'll like the furniture.

"So," Kai broke the silence. "Any of you excited about the future?" Jay shrugged.

"I wonder what Emily is like." Zane said.

"Yeah," Jay agreed, "she might have a vicious temper."

"Or she could turn out to be sweet," Kai countered. So that's what they talked about on their way to GameStop: wondering what Emily is like.

Chapter 10

"About time, you three," Cole greeted Zane, Jay and Kai as they walked through the door. "Now we're going to turn around and walk right back out."

"I still think that Emily's going to have a fierce temper," Jay said as the four men walked up the street. Cole snorted.

"She can be on the fierce side, but only whenever Lloyd doesn't do what he's told," Cole replied.

"Tell us what she's like," Kai urged. Cole sighed.

"Well, she's got long honey blond hair that she has braided, stormy blue-gray eyes, and the attitude of multiple lions," he began, "she's funny, smart, and is probably the only person brave enough to talk back to me. She's also the only maid at Wu's Manor, so we do kind of need her. She's also a brilliant warrior."

"I told you so that she would be smart." Kai said triumphantly. Jay sighed.

"Zane said that, not you," he snapped. Kai opened his mouth to say a retort, but Zane spoke before he could say something.

"Can we not argue, please," Zane politely said. "I do not want to meet Emily in a bad mood." After that, the four of them were quiet.

"That's Wu's Manor?" Jay asked in disbelief as the four walked over a hill.

"Yes," Cole replied proudly. The castle loomed above them. "Just you wait till you see the inside."

As they neared, Cole spotted someone in the upper levels of the castle. The curtains fell back into place as the person left.

Cole pushed on one of the heavy wood doors, and it opened with ease.

"Whoa," Jay, Kai, and Zane said together as they looked around. Cole knew that they were gawking at the silk tapestries, the size of the foyer, and the paintings that had been around for who knows how long.

"Lloyd!" an angry yell echoed through the entire place. Everyone jumped. "What did I tell you about touching Cole's scythe?"

Lloyd jogged into view, lugging Cole's giant scythe that was made out of pure gold. He grinned at the others before continuing to run. Cole felt like face-palming whenever a streak of black and white flew past them.

"What were you thinking?" Emily demanded as Cole, Zane, Jay, and Kai peered around the corner. She had the scythe in her right hand, and she was glaring at Lloyd.

"It was a joke," he began, but she cut him off with a snarl.

"You never joke around with weapons," she said fiercely. "If I catch you with Cole's scythe ever again, you will regret it. Is that understood?"

"Yes, Emily," Lloyd muttered.

"Off you go then," she said brightly. "You need to work harder on those assignments that I've given you." He stomped down the hallway and disappeared whenever he turned left. Emily turned around and blew a piece of hair out of her face.

"You must be the three that Cole mentioned yesterday," she said sweetly as she thrust the scythe towards Cole, who took it.

"Uh-huh," Jay said, "and you're Emily, I presume."

"Yep! My apologies about the thing with Lloyd. He's only eight-years-old, yet has the arrogance of an eleven-year-old. But, we're not here to talk about Lloyd. If you follow me, I'll show you to your rooms." She turned around and started walking down the hallway. Cole shrugged and started following her. Footsteps from behind told him that Kai, Jay, and Zane were following.

So, as you can probably tell, Emily can switch moods as fast as lightning. Um, yeah, that's all I've got to say.

Review, please!

Have a good day/night!
