A/N- Wassup? It be TOBN here with the final chapters of the Royals!

Yup! This story is ending in a mere 4 chapters (I decided to end it off at Chapter 20), and I really hope I can finish it before summer ends. Obviously, that'll be pretty hard, but I think it will be worth it, considering I also need to finish up The Search For Happily Ever After, and Starring MBAV 2, along with a few one shots, and what not. So yeah! I am squeezing in the last bits of summer :P

As for this story! Let's do a quick recap, shall we? Last chapter, we move over to what Benny has been up to for the last few chapters, and we figure out a lot of things, like how he is not even a Morgan, and is Evelyn's grandson. We also find out Erica's intentions, that are slowly shifting. And Evelyn has some beef with Ross, making things a bit harder for everyone. Well, not like it wasn't even hard to begin with. Jokes! But yeah; a few more secrets leak out in this chapter :)

The Royals: Chapter 16: Creature Of The Night

At the Morgan Kingdom, Sarah is continuing to pack her bags from her room; she was to leave the Morgan Kingdom next week, after begging to stay a little longer. She had asked her parents multiple times if she could stay in the kingdom a while longer, and her last extension was this one.

She was leaving the Morgan Kingdom next week, and by all honesty, she was having mixed feelings about it.

Don't take me wrong, Sarah was actually very happy in the Morgan Kingdom. But at the same time, she was happy to leave; all the chaos has been enough for her. She wanted to return to her normal and calm life in the palace she grew up in, and have that reassuring relaxation of being at home.

But at the same time, Sarah didn't want to go. She wanted answers. And she wanted them quickly too. Who told the doctors to drug Ethan? Why on earth would Rory say she kissed him? What was the secret about Jane? Where was Benny? What was the deal with Rory?

Will Ethan make it?

All the questions ate her alive, and she was desperate to figure out the answers for each and every one.

To Sarah, she never had a mystery like this in her home, so it was kind of refreshing in a way. She thrived an adventure for so long, wishing and hoping for it to happen to her someday, like the books she used to read when she was a little girl. She wanted a mystery so bad, wanting to become her own version of famous detectives.

As they say: Be careful what you wish for.

Two knocks came from the door. Sarah turned around slightly to see a waft of dusty blonde hair. She smiled a bit as she nodded for the boy to come in, dropping the clothes on the bed as she walked up towards the middle aged prince.

"Good evening, Prince Rory." Sarah whispered, a hand on her right arm, swaying awkwardly. Rory scratched the back of his neck nervously as well; it was quite obvious they needed to break some ice between them.

"As with you, Princess Sarah," Rory responded, bowing a bit. Sarah giggled and topped it off with a geeky snort as she covered her mouth embarrassedly. The ice melted quite fast as Rory laughed a bit, making Sarah awkwardly laugh as well.

"What brings you here, Rory?" Sarah asked, laughter gone and curiosity lingering. Rory ducked his head.

"I..." He paused nervously. Sarah rose an eyebrow as Rory sighed.

"I wish to talk about the...kiss we shared." He said quietly, making Sarah close her eyes, nodding as she sat down on the small, duvet couch in her room. She placed her elbows on her legs as she rubbed her forehead.

"I honestly don't remember this, Rory." She said sadly. "I don't know when I kissed you, or where. All I know is you just got really mad, and I kinda had a fuzzy moment, but I don't remember any kiss." She explained, shaking her head. Rory sat beside her, avoiding eye contact.

"Well, try to remember," He said quickly. "I really..." He trailed off, staring out into a nothingness. Sarah looked at Rory.

"Really what?" She asked. No response. Rory scrunched up his face in thought as Sarah looked at him sternly. "Really what?!" She asked, a bit more louder, and a lot more curious as well. Once again, Sarah got no response from a still Rory. She frowned.

"You're scaring me Rory-"

She was cut off by a swift kiss from Rory, who cupped his hand on her cheek and pulled her close. Sarah squeaked, but ended up wrapping her arm around Rory, and kissing him as well. Rory's eyelids covered his sterling blue eyes as Sarah moved into the kiss.

That was when Sarah was hit with reality.

She screamed, pulling back and toppling off the couch, her dress getting tangled around the arm of the couch. She nearly twisted her ankle as her bun fell apart. Sarah fixed herself up, standing tall as she redid her bun. Rory looked up as Sarah angrily twisted her hair into a tight bun.

"What the hell was...that?!" She yelled angrily at the blonde, who shook his head, standing up as he looked her in the eye. He sighed.

"I..." He frowned, trying to put the words into a gentle sentence. "I wanted to...make sure." Sarah rose an eyebrow.

"Make sure of what, exactly?" She questioned. Rory blushed.

"I wanted to make sure that I didn't actually...like you." He said. Sarah crossed her arms.

"No offense," He added quickly, eyes blown wide. Sarah smiled softly.

"Well...thanks, I guess." Rory frowned.

"But you did kiss me." Rory said. "In the halls of the hospital." Sarah sighed.

"For the last time, Rory, I never kissed you. If I did, then I should've remembered it by now." She pointed out, making Rory snap his fingers. He finally got it. He looked at Sarah with wide eyes as he smiled a bit.

"Exactly!" He exclaimed. "You don't remember, which means you must've been...spelled, or something." He said with a confident voice. Sarah frowned. "How is that your first conclusion?" Rory frowned as he paced the room.

"Well, you don't remember anything whatsoever. How else would you not remember kissing me?" Sarah crossed her arms incredulously.

"How do I know you aren't making this up?" She asked.

"You don't." Rory replied as quick as she asked, walking out before Sarah could say anything, and ready to find out more of what happened. Sarah threw her hands up in the air in frustration as she followed Rory down the halls, the walls speeding past them.

"Someone's messing with us." Rory murmured walking all the way to his father's study. Sarah trailed behind him as she and him stopped at the door. Rory's eyes squinted forward as he took a breath and walked in, Sarah behind him.

"And I wanna know who."

Tobias walked through the halls of the castle, his brain speeding up. He growled as he enclosed himself in the washroom. His stomach rumbled as he crouched over the toilet and threw up violently.

Tears of effort rolled down his cheeks as he sat on the floor of the lighted room, flushing the toilet quickly as he slumped down against the wall and looked down, his stomach churning and rolling around like waves. They ached, and Tobias moaned, wrapping his arms around his chest

He had been hungry for days now. And he couldn't take it anymore. He was starving, and he wanted food so bad now. And not their food. The food they served held no justice for someone like...him. He wanted his food. He was so thirsty.

When would he tell...anyone, for that matter? Even better question; when would he tell Benny?

And this was an even better question; would he tell Benny? Would he tell...anyone?

He looked at himself in the mirror, tears streaming down his face as he looked at it sadly, looking away with teary eyes. He had blurry vision as he pulled his head up a bit higher, the sound of a creaking door echoing in his ear.

Wait...

Tobias' eyes widened as he turned around to see Erica, who covered her mouth in shock. Tobias looked down; his pants were on, no vomit on his shirt; what was Erica so stunned about? Her eyes were bewildered as she shakily pointed to the mirror.

And that was when Tobias knew the answers to all his questions.

Yes.

"Y-You..." She stammered, still pointing to the mirror with no reflection. Tobias tried to manipulate her or something like that, but Erica shook her head, closing her eyes tightly. She was trained for moments like this.

"No!" She screamed, pushing Tobias back, sending him crashing on the floor. She growled as she pulled out a small dagger from her pocket, grabbed his wrist, and cut him. Tobias winced as he saw a single drop of blood fall. He closed his eyes.

The cut healed.

"You...you're a vampire." She stammered. Tobias tried to relax her, his eyes flashing yellow.

"Erica...you have...you have to relax..." He said slowly, staring harshly into Erica's eyes. She shook her head as she pushed him against the wall, grounding him roughly against the wall. Tobias stared at the mirror that both of them were in and smirked at her.

"You're one too." He murmured. Erica's eyes widened as she pulled back, and stared into the mirror.

Her, nor Tobias', reflection were there.

"You can't tell anyone. I won't tell them about you, so please, please keep quiet." She begged in a hushed voice, becoming more passive and lowering her eyes softly. Tobias crossed his arms.

"I won't," Erica looked at him with hopeful and innocent eyes that almost made Tobias cave in.

"But you are going to have to answer some things first." Tobias finally said, making Erica shudder.

Looks like she has been caught.

"What is the meaning of this, Tobias?" Ross asked, tapping his foot impatiently. Everyone remaining in the castle stood in the living room, watching as the boy with honey brown hair paced the floor in front of them. Erica stood behind him, not making any eye contact.

"Probably has something to do with you," Jane, who stood in between Rory and Sarah, said with a smirk, making Ross stare at her with hard eyes. Rory made eye contact with Erica from across the room, but she didn't meet his eyes. He frowned, then looked at Sarah, who was quiet as well.

He silently sighed as he watched Tobias face everyone.

"I know where Benny is." Everyone's eyes widened as Tobias crossed his arms.

"And we are going there tonight." He said determinedly.

A/N- Surprised about the two vampires? Will they ever tell...anyone? Well; you'll have to find out in the next chapter ;)

So drop a review, and thanks for reading! I bid you farewell *curtseys*
