A/N- Wassup? It be TOBN here with a new chapter of The Royals!

Damn. It has been a while. I have absolutely no reason why this happened, this majorly long writing block that I put up, allowing me update, despite all the free time I have had over the last few days. But hey. I'm back. That is awesome, right? Right.

Anyway! Last chapter! Ross is in a pickle, huh? Jokes! But he is about to reveal a few things that might get you shocked. Yeah. You are gonna be surprised by this, my friends. Well, unless you are one of the people who anticipated this. Then in that case, thumbs up!

I will warn you; I have got a HUGE obsession over Dan and Phil, and just spent two hours watching them. Seriously. They're on YouTube, I am sure you heard of them. Anyway, I just recovered from laughing a bunch, so sorry in advance if this sucks. I've got their British accents in my head. Thanks to Mbavrocks12. Shoutouts to you for pulling me into a vortex of addiction I will never get out of ;)

The Royals: Chapter 14: The Villain Unmasked?

Ross, Rory, Erica, Tobias and Sarah stared at the young girl who stood before them. Rory's mouth hung open slightly as Erica stayed close to the blonde boy quietly. Sarah nearly dropped the papers in her hand as Ross looked more perplexed than surprised.

"J-Jane?" He stammered. The little girl smiled as she approached him slowly, hands on her hips rather sassily.

"So? Anything to confess, dad?" She asked snarkily, making Ross slightly uncomfortable. Tobias, who was slowly fuming, looked at Ross with anger in his eyes. He really wished he could just reveal what he was so he could get Ross once and for all. But he knew he couldn't, or else he'd never figure out where his boyfriend was. He looked at Ross with hatred in his eyes.

"No. First of all, you are gonna tell me where Benny is. Who is Evelyn? Where is my boyfriend?" He demanded. Ross held his arms up in defense. "I honestly don't know. But..." He looked at everyone's faces, the people who were impatiently waiting for answers. Ross started to unfold this story slowly.

"Well, I needed someone to bring...Jane, to life." He started, looking at Jane, who tried her best not to cry or slap him out of fury and frustration. Ross took a breath as he looked at all the teens, frowning deeply.

"I found a girl named Evelyn Weir. She is an Earth Priestess, and she was very powerful. You see, what happened was, she had told me she could create a girl. A baby girl. I automatically agreed, and she had made Jane. I thanked her, and we didn't speak much after that." Sarah frowned.

"Then why did she go for Benny?" She asked curiously, looking at Ross. "You are leaving things out." She added suspiciously, making Erica whimper softly; she didn't want to hear anything about Evelyn. Would Ross spill? Would something happen to her? As much as she loves - or at least, loved - Rory, would he love her if they found out that she was...someone else?

"I would love to tell you now," Ross said with a sigh. "But I would prefer if Ethan were...awake, to hear what I have to say." He said honestly. Rory was getting pissed as he growled at Ross, almost lunging at him and clawing him apart.

"Look, Ross, I would love to just agree with you, but Erica was in the woods alone, and if you must know, my brother's still gone, and who knows where he is. We need answers; with or without Ethan. So I'm gonna ask you one more time; where is Benny, and what does Evelyn have to do with him." Rory gritted out, making Ross gulp nervously.

"I honestly don't have an answer! Evelyn just...snooped up Benjamin after years of no communication, and I don't know why." Ross said defensively, making Sarah frown in confusion.

"Okay, but how about Ethan? What about him, huh? Why was everyone after him? The maid, the chef, the butler, the doctor, why was everyone trying to kill him?" She asked, quite fearful of the answer. Ross looked at Sarah and his head pounded.

"All I know, is that they are most likely on Evelyn's team. Otherwise, I had no knowledge of this." Ross answered.

A moment of silence crept in, and it seemed as if Ross had answered all the questions. But Tobias still had a few going for him, and not even directly at Ross. He frowned at Jane, who stood in front of them.

"Um, not to be rude or anything, but just how did you get out of your cell, Jane? There is no way you could escape without a key or something." Tobias pondered. Jane smiled as she held up a small hair pin.

"Well, little blondie here dropped her hair pin right in my reach. So I just unlocked myself. Thank you, by the way." Jane said with a grin, looking at Erica. Ross snapped his head towards Erica, and his eyes filled with fury.

"You purposely did that!" He growled, snapping at her. Rory pulled her back defensively, protecting her from his father's rage. Erica yelped, trying to squirm away as she broke fear of Rory's grasp, looking at Ross with fire in her eyes.

"I did not!" She protested with slight annoyance. Ross growled as he slapped her, making her fall to the ground. Rory gasped as Sarah covered her mouth in horror. Ross looked at Erica, the fire growing hotter.

"You do not deny anything, Jones! After everything you've ever done to me, to US, I want you to leave! I fired you once, and you came back. I CAN FIRE YOU AGAIN! AND I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH NOTHING!" He yelled. Rory was seriously about to land a punch on Ross when Tobias intervened.

"Ross! Rory! Erica! Calm down, okay?" He cried out. "We are in shock and despair, and things are just going more downhill from here the more you scream at people. Just go up to your room, and we discuss this tomorrow. Okay?" He snapped.

Ross looked at his son with shocked eyes, then to Erica with hatred in his eyes. Tobias gave him a look, and he was about to but stormed out anyway.

Rory, Erica, Tobias and Sarah were left alone in the halls of the hospital, standing there in shock and anger on what had happened this day. Erica had tears in her eyes as she ran out of the room, leaving Rory to follow.

Tobias went his ways silently, his head hung low as he ushered Jane to a guest bedroom, leaving Sarah alone in the hospital wing.

She stood there for a few minutes, frowning to herself as she looked around, hugging herself; what was she gonna do at this hour? It was nearly nine, and she was all alone. No way anyone was coming back until morning, and Sarah had to start packing to go back home in a week or so. Despite how she wanted to stay with Ethan until he was up and running again, she had to go back to Serenia for some "royal duties". She had missed a lot since Ethan had gotten stabbed, and she basically made herself at home at the Vania kingdom.

That was when she had a grand idea; she would go to Ethan for the night. Hopefully he would have recovered from the drugs by now, and be all well.

She rushed to Ethan's room, throwing the door open to see the body of Ethan, sleeping soundly, snoring just a little. Sarah winced at how pale he was as she slowly walked up to him, hr shoes making the littlest noise.

"Ethan?" She whispered. "Are you awake?" She added, a bit more loudly now.

The sound of Sarah's voice must've woken Ethan up, because he stirred a bit before his eyes fluttered open. They were slightly bloodshot, as if they were struggling to stay awake. Ethan's lips parted a bit, dazed by the drugs he had been giving.

"Hiiiii." Ethan slurred a bit. Sarah smiled softly; the drugs must've made him a bit wonky.

"Hey Ethan. You awake?" She asked quietly. Ethan nodded, a ditzy smile on his face. "Uh huh." He said with a dopey grin. This attitude from the usually uptight prince made Sarah laugh a bit, pulling up a chair to sit beside her lover. She strokes his hair, making his grin widen.

Sarah's smile faltered; Ethan had been on a whole rollercoaster of pain and drama; he had been stabbed, hospitalized, drugged, and now was high on it all. It made Sarah want to vomit, or punch a guy.

But she ignored the bubbling feeling of fury, she looked at Ethan with softened expressions.

"How you feeling?" She asked. Ethan shrugged loosely. "Eh. Could be better, could be worse!" He sang a bit, sending him into another session of brainless laughing. Sarah smiled weakly along with her drunken boyfriend; she kind of hated seeing him like this. Clueless, but okay.

"There's been a lot happening here. A lot. I don't even know if Rory is part of the Morgan family tree." She said with a sad sigh. Ethan's dopey smile faltered, but it slowly crept back to his pale face. He smiled at Sarah softly.

"Even if he's not, which I am SURE he is," He said, wearily pointing at Sarah, who smiled. "He'll...he'll always be my bro." He said, giggling a bit as his eyes fluttered. He was getting tired, and Sarah hated it. But she just kissed his cheek and smiled.

"You are the best brother, and boyfriend, Ethie." She said with a smile. Ethan grinned. "Th...Thank you." He said with a slow wink, then drifting off to a deep slumber.

Sarah sighed sadly as she watched her boyfriend sleep, crawling up beside him and sleeping with him, all curled up, holding him close.

A/N- Yeah. Short and sweet filler chapter. But it is an update, nevertheless. Yay!

Anyway, drop a review and thanks for reading!
