So, this is the next chapter. It's been a while, I know, but my first priority will be my other fic, Three Kings of Legends. I hope you'll like this chapter though, and I already have few future chapters ready after this one, so don't worry. Please be patient with me.

I do not own anything, except this plot and Teagan, Herald, Rean, Vic and Karell. Enjoy!

Lanny carried Yama down the stairs, watching the invited kids having fun at the beach. Now everyone was at the beach, and the castle practically deserted, he could do what he always did when nobody but him was at home – talk to Yamakoshi and wanting this day to never end. Hey, you don't turn fourteen every day, do you?

"Finally, time for ourselves!" Lanny sighed, sitting down on the couch, placing Yamakoshi on the small table. The fish looked at him as if he wanted to tell Lanny he was right.

"Stop staring at me like that! I won't be hurt, not on this day," Lanny said confidently.

"You don't know that for sure. There's something about him that I don't trust," Yama said. His owner nodded.

"I don't trust him as well, but I have to admit, Teagan always keeps his promises. He won't hurt me unless he really wants to." Upon seeing the look on Yamakoshi's face, (if you could call it that) he knew that the fish disagreed with him.

"And do you know when he really wants to hurt you?" Lanny was ready to give an answer, until he heard a familiar voice behind him saying his name. The voice he didn't want to hear until its owner decided to go back home. He turned around and saw Teagan leaning against the throne. He had a wide smirk.

"Are you talking to a fish!?" Teagan laughed. It didn't seem he made fun of the prince, even though it felt like that.

"No, I'm not!" Lanny quickly said in his defense. Teagan walked closer up to him, with those lie-detecting eyes of his, trained to do so with his 'little troll'. He had this smile on his face Lanny didn't like. T was comparable with the calm before a storm. He knew this because he's been in painful situations before, all with Teagan causing them. So, yeah, he was little prepared.

"You say you're not," Teagan simply began, "but I wonder what your fish is going to say. Oh, wait a second," he pretended to check upon Yamakoshi, "sorry that I called him a fish. He seriously is a monster from the Dark Side. Why would you keep one?" Yama started to call Teagan bad names, and Lanny was glad his bully couldn't understand what Yama was saying. They were the kind you would never hear on Kinkow or any of the other islands. Teagan bowed over so his eyes were at the same height as Yama's, and looked at the creature.

"Now I see you from up close, you're actually quite the ugly, aren't you?" Yama didn't stop insulting Teagan. Lanny grew nervous.

"Maybe you should stop doing this…" He carefully said, and Teagan turned around, shaking his head. He looked sure of himself. When Teagan turned to the fish again, Lanny was slowly getting angry. Okay, he might be a bit afraid of Teagan and his little group of bullies (excluding Herald) but nobody, and I mean nobody, insulted or threatened his Yamakoshi, his precious. Teagan didn't notice this. Too bad for him.

"Nah, I don't I should. I mean, who would make me stop insulting this little, ugly, smelling, stupid creature, too ugly to be called a fish, with too big lips. Seriously, he lies in his own shit! How could you call this your pet? And he's also…"

"Yama's perfect as he is, dumb-ass!" Lanny exclaimed, cutting of whatever Teagan would say about Yamakoshi, only then realizing what he had said, and to whom he said it. Uh oh. Now he was in trouble. Teagan turned around, being calm as usual, but Lanny knew that inside, the boy was already planning more than a thousand ways to hurt the prince.

"What did you call me?" It sounded dangerously calm, even for the Elder's grandson. Lanny started to back away, but tripped. Lying on the ground, there was no way he could stand up and run. Not with Teagan standing there.

"What did you call me!?" Teagan screamed, and started beating up Lanny. He did this for one or two minutes. Normally, he was used to the beatings, but since he got that respite for three days, he couldn't take it as much as he hoped. Main targets were stomach, head, knees. Lanny didn't dare to moan, hoping Teagan would stop once he noticed the kid was unconscious. Yet, Teagan carelessly continued. Now, he wished he'd never called Timothy's grandson a dumb-ass.

"Hey, little troll," Teagan began again, kicking him once more. Lanny groaned, and even if he didn't want to, it was more of a reflex to do so. Now he regretted sending everyone to the beach, and the servants would only come if Lanny called out for them. And if he dared to do this in front of Teagan, in his position… he would be dead for sure. Besides, he didn't have much energy left to call out for anyone. And nobody could understand Yamakoshi. At the moment, he felt lonelier than ever.

"You're not going to tell anyone 'bout this, eh?" Teagan had beaten up Lanny already so badly, he had to put much effort in just saying he wouldn't. However, all Teagan heard were random noises, making the Elder's son mad.

"Answer me if I ask you a question," he sneered, and kicked Lanny in the stomach again. If he just was King, in that case he could've wished Teagan would move to another island forever (since the wishes can't make somebody kill another). The prince moaned before letting out a weak 'no'. Even though he said it, Teagan apparently still didn't understand him, and he was once again kicked. This was beginning to get serious. He let out a louder 'no', loud enough for Teagan to hear it.

"And do you know why, little troll," Lanny shook his head, "Because if you don't, I'll come and beat you up so badly that you won't remember who you are." He said with an evil grin. Lanny shot a look at Yamakoshi, who just stared at the two. He didn't know if the fish was worried, or if he wanted some popcorn. He moaned, hoping someone left something in the castle, and found Teagan beating Lanny up.

"Lanny? Teagan? What's happening?" Teagan's eyes widened, looking scared. If Lanny had some power to smile and say something in his defense towards his bully, he would. He even had trouble keeping his eyes open. He believed it was Mason who screamed, but he couldn't be sure – he was hurt so badly he couldn't think clear anymore. He felt how Teagan punched him in the face for the last time (he would always begin with a punch, and end with it) and knelt next to the prince. He turned his head towards the door – Lanny could've sworn he looked worried – and shouted something.

"Mason! Over here!" Teagan Kalooka-Khan shouted. The next moment, Mason came running in, closely followed by the other guards, Roger holding Mikayla. What Mason saw was not a victim to the bully that didn't even tried to flee, but a beaten up prince and an Elder's son trembling next to him.

"Teagan, what happened here?" Mason knelt next to Lanny, only wanting to check if he was alive – he and Lanny didn't really get along well.

"I wondered where Lanny was, and found him here, and a lost Tarantula that beat him up. In a foolish action, I threw myself on top of him. He threw me off, and tried scaring him away, but he fled when he heard you calling out for us. How's Lanny doing?" Teagan added, as if he really cared about the young prince. If Lanny still had the power, he would strangle the kid.

"He's conscious, but I doubt that will last long. We need to take him to the Royal Infirmary," Mason said. Lanny also noticed he was slipping into the unconscious. Though knelt in front of him, the sound of the guard's voice was fading away. Before finally blacking out, he forced his eyes open and saw the worry in Mason's eyes and the evil gaze in Teagan's. That moment, Lanny knew the grandson of Elder Kalooka-Khan was going to make his further life a hell. And whenever he ever tried to tell, he knew Teagan would be there to remind him what he was capable of, and has the power to push him down whenever he wanted. Even though he was pushing the down. The last thought before blacking out completely, was how hard it was to be just a prince who's hated by everybody he knew.

The worst part? Teagan had really been enjoying him being beaten up harder than ever.

So, this is where the initial one-shot ended. Well, it ended with Lanny waking up, but that's the same. I'm planning on continuing to past when he woke up, dig in deeper when it comes to Lanny & Teagan, and maybe Lanny and Herald and, eventually, Rean. So, yeah, this will get longer.

So whaddya think? Hate, like? Please review!
