I am absolutely running out of ideas for this story... so if you'd like, send in ideas!

Kim

I awoke to chaos. Brianna was sobbing in the middle of the camp, Alexa and Rhiamon comforting her. Lianna was staring blankly into a fire, the spit of meat close to burning. Rescuing it, I glanced around, taking a quick head count.

"Jack is gone..." I realized with a gasp. I wanted to keep him safe, but I couldn't stop thinking of the prophecy.

It still plays in my head...

To the prince with a youthful soul,

Who takes marriage as a goal,

Will lose the love of his life through a stupid mistake,

The bride and his heirs will be what Fate will take.

"An invisible power took him last night!" Brianna sobbed, interrupting my thoughts. Rhiamon frowned.

"Relive the memory for me, Brianna," she asked. Nodding, Brianna concentrated, tears still flowing down her cheeks. Both she, Rhiamon, and Alexa closed their eyes.

Suddenly, Rhiamon's eyes opened. "Micheil and Girangi," she gasped.

Simultaneously, she and Alexa continued, "they must want to destroy Birari and Teril."

What?

Just then, I felt the urge to gather up camp and go somewhere. Turning to my companions, I could see the same feeling echoing in their eyes. The horses became restless, like they wanted to dash away.

"Saddle up," Rhiamon ordered.

Kelsey

It's been a disaster. Jack ran away, and we've got no clue on how to find him or Kim.

"That spineless twit!" Grace raged, slamming the firewood onto the ground with so much force, many of them snapped.

"He is not that spineless," Eddie defended weakly. My heart started pounding, and I desperately wanted to stick up with Jack, but I pushed the trembling feeling down. Why would a girl like me deserve a happy ending when my best friend is lost in the world, and the other is cursed.

Lisette isn't strapped down anymore, and as time wore on, she became more and more herself. However, the curse wasn't altogether lifted, and any Firezi Assasin could control her and take over her life, and murder us in our sleep.

I'd have never thought that two weeks in the forest does homicidal wonders to one's perspective.

"Where do we go now?" William asked, staring intently at Lisette. Lately, he had shown interest in Lisette. I hoped that soon, Lisette could be cured, and she lived a happy life with William.

"I honestly do not know," I sighed.

Grace turned to snap at me, "Sister you shouldn't become discouraged! We HAVE to find Kim!"

I jumped to my feet to scream, "ARE YOU SAYING I DON'T WANT KIM BACK!"

Jack/George

I heard it: The sound of a girl screaming. I shuddered from inside the barn. She seemed to be in pain.

"Emotional or physical?" I heard Stacy ask from beside me. She always knew what was going on in my mind.

"Emotional," I decided, still lugging the pail of milk in my hands. Hey, working on a farm has its jobs.

"Do... you want to go look for her?" Stacy paused, turning around to see if Mother and Father were there.

"Why are you so cautious?" I laughed lightheartedly, but my face was serious.

"I just want to decide on a great surprise for Mother and Father. Maybe..." and then, Stacy began to hastily whisper in my ear. "George, you don't belong here. This isn't your family. Mother and Father want to kill you, or use you to break a princess's heart, and then destroy Birari and Teril. You have to escape here. I don't belong here too." She leaned away, looking expectant.

"Hm..." I put on a look of deep concentration, but in reality, my mind was whirling. I wasn't a part of the Wiseman family?

Just then, I heard a voice sneer, "Good try, daughter. I wouldn't ever have expected a dumb girl like you to pick up on that."

I looked up to see the matronly figure I'd loved for a few days now transform into a wild woman with evil glimmering in her eyes. The paternal figure behind her also transform

She took out a shiny, brand-new wand. "After your fiancee stole my wand, I'd had to create a new wand. Let's see how it works killing you."

I froze, staring in horror at the brilliant purple light forming from the tip of her wand.

Just as the spell shot out towards me, I felt myself being pushed back as another figure took the blow.

I scrambled back as a blonde girl hit the ground.

Another blast.

A girl who looked about four years younger than me collided with the back barn wall, unresponsive.

Another blast.

An seven-year-old-ish girl dropped.

Another blast.

Stacy collapsed, eyes wide.

Another blast

An extremely young brunette slunk to the ground, the breath leaving her.

All dead.

I turned to face the woman, rage and murder in my eyes. I may not know who I am, but I just lost my sister, whether she really was my sister or not.

She was staring at the last girl, who had brilliant chestnut hair. She was as radiant and as young as the last girl.

"Rhiamon!" the woman exclaimed.

"Mother," Rhiamon snarled.

"I see you've become human," Rhiamon's mother sneered.

"I see you've become idiotic, Girangi," Rhiamon retorted.

"Why did you decide to become a pathetic human?" Girangi asked viciously.

"Because you're the jerk no one needs or wants," Rhiamon smirked as she stretched out her hand.

A brilliant whitish-yellow ball formed in her hands.

"I've learned the beauty and faults of being human, Mother. Aren't you glad I have the power to defeat you and Father?" Rhiamon stated sweetly.

Girangi's eyes widened.

"You wouldn't dare," the man I'd thought was my father behind Girangi.

"I would," was all Rhiamon replied with as the rapidly expanding sphere shot at the pair at a painfully fast speed.

The explosion destroyed the barn and sent all of us flying away.

It must've been a wreck. A large black mark where the farm was, bodies littering the ground nearby.

I couldn't move a muscle as I blacked out.

Five girls dead.

All at the hands of the one I'd trusted most.

I awoke to the sound of Rhiamon mopping my face with a wet cloth.

"You're awake," she commented flatly.

"Where am I?" I asked briefly, before a wave of pain racked my throat. I coughed into Rhiamon's face, but she didn't seem to care.

"Here," she murmured, pouring a minty liquid down my throat. "It's medicine." Suddenly feeling better, I sat up.

Around me were the girls who'd fallen at Girangi's hands.

"Who... are they?" I breathed finally.

"You don't know?" Rhiamon asked me.

"Other than Stacy, no. They must've wiped my memory," I explained.

Nodding, Rhiamon began to identify them.

"That is Princess Brianna of Birari. She is your sister, and was the one who tried to save you from Micheil and Girangi when they kidnapped you from our camp," Rhiamon described.

"Brianna?" Slowly, the memories began to flow back into my consciousness. "She's twelve... she's sarcastic and can be polite, and takes care of her-um, our, little sister?" I looked to her for confirmation, and Rhiamon nodded, looking a little shocked. She moved on to the next girl, the seven-year-old one.

"Princess Lianna of Birari. She loves horses, she learned Latin, and is extremely smart," this time, Rhiamon paused and stared at me hopefully, hoping that I would remember anything about her.

"She's seven, I sometimes call her Li, her horse is named Bella, and I gave her Bella?" Rhiamon nodded happily.

"You remember!" Rhiamon jumped up and clapped. I only smiled in response. It was nice to see such a young girl like her, who'd dealt with such a burden, act like the young one she was. "Okay, moving on... Princess Alexa of Birari. She's acquired telepathy when you weren't with her, and is gentle and wise. She is my best friend."

"Alexa... she plays with girls from Eaglemure in our courtyard, is four, and Brianna takes care of her," I recited confidently.

Rhiamon gave me a bright smile, and continued, "You already know Stacey... but now..." Rhiamon bit her lip as she stared at the blonde girl who'd saved my life. Tears swarmed her eyes, and I knelt down beside her.

"Rhiamon... I think I know her," I whispered. Rhiamon's head snapped up. "Of course I remember her. She is the one I loved, the one I proposed to, the princess I was waiting for, the princess who hates being a princess, the princess who wears the ring I gave her. The emerald standing for my wishes for her to be in good health and to heal quickly when I'm not around, and the diamond representing my love for her. Her name is Princess Kimberly of Teril."

Rhiamon smiled as she wiped furtively at her tears. She quickly scuttled away to hide her still-flowing tears

I sat down beside her, stroking her hair. "Kim... my Kim. I love you to death, and if it takes death to be with you, then death I will take." I leaned down to give her a quick kiss, pulled out my sword, and prepared to kill myself.

Right when I was about to plunge the sword in my heart, a hand grabbed my wrist.

I looked down. Kim's eyes were open, and she was stopping my from killing myself.

"Jack," Kim whispered. "I'm sorry, but I couldn't have died when I'd known you'd be in pain."

I smiled, and gave her a quick kiss on her cheek.

"I... didn't want to marry you when we were first engaged," my eyes widened at her statement, but Kim continued, "but seeing you dead was too much. So... I guess you're stuck with me," and with that, Kim gave me a quick smile.

I leaned down again to give her a more passionate kiss.

I gave you guys an especially long chapter, so I hope you like it! Originally, I'd planned for Brianna to take the hit, and seeing her would jolt Jack's memories, but Kim saving him was just too romantic for me to pass up.

Unfortunately, this story will end soon, and I know... many of you will be sad. Also, there WILL BE NO SEQUEL. I want to explore other places, instead of continuing this story. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this story... but I have a Kick one-shot that will be coming up soon, and a Lab Rats one I hope to do afterwards.
