“Wakey Wakey!!!! Eggs not Baking!!!!. Wake up before i decide to kill you all!!!!!” a female voice screamed.
In a mantra the person kept repeating those words as grimaces and moans of the people in the bus sturred as they Bevan go awaken from their deep slumber.
I slowly opened my eyes, vision a bit obscured, adjusting to the light while I calmly blinked away the blur.
My surroundings becoming more clear, I began to make out the figure of the girl repeating the same.
The view of the bus’s surroundings became clear but the light still blurring out the girl, showing a silhouette of a teenager who looked to be around our age.
She made her way further into the bus, walking nearer and nearer as she kept yelling, trying to wake all those around, my eyes beginning to focus she stopped and leaned her face close to mine.
Finally my eyes focused and saw her emerald green eyes, hair as dark as cole and skin as pale as that of a ghost.
“WAKE THE HELL UP!!!” she screamed right into my face, my ears rung at the loudness of her voice, she backed away and moved on to yell at others in the further back.
My drowsiness began to clear up, a slight headache left behind by the unnecessarily loud morning call by the girl.
Then I started to remember, the past events of us falling and being engulfed by a white light starting to resurface.
I gasped loud as I remembered my best friend, I looked beside me to see her deep in sleep.
I shook her rapidly “Val!, Val!, Val wake up!” I said, while she hushly murmured “5 more minutes mom, I’ll do more chores if you let me sleep”, I continued to shake her till she finally opened her eyes, an annoyed look in her eyes.
Upon realization she looked at me in bewilderment, “what are you doing in my bedroom Avery??” she asked, then looked around and began to remember just as I had.
“Oh are we at Cavernborn yet?” she asked.
“Cavern-what?” questioned the voice of the teenager who was busy waking all of us up as she passed by our row,most people were already awake at this point.
“This is so vexing dealing with delirious commoners” she rolled her eyes and continued, “alright, everyone, I don’t know where this Cavern-crap-“, “Cavernborn!” Mikayla corrected in the distance.
“-whatever loser, If I don’t know a place, it’s not worth knowing! is but all of you are in our territory now. WELCOME TO LULATINA FOREST!!” She yelled.
“Excuse me, who are you calling a loser, Miss loud mouth?!” argued Mikayla.
The girl was wearing a beautiful expensive looking royal pink floral dress, that ended at her ankles, with pink high pencil heels, her curly hair left flowing freely, with bangs parting to her left. New chapters come out on NovelPing first.
With her extremely clear and pale skin, no make up was used aside from the hot pink lipstick on her lips.
She was wearing white gloves and a beautiful pink choker bedazzled with what looked to be pearls.
She looked at Mikayla in annoyance and murderous anger.
“I suggest you not vex me further, I’m the one who came to help you, so you better be grateful!” she said, crossing her arms.
“Listen here you little barbie wanna-be-” Mikayla started as she skulked towards the girl, only for her path to be blocked by Valery after passing over me.
Val looked at the girl and asked “who are you and how did we get to whatever this place is?” her voice confident and unyielding.
The girl smirked, “finally, one with more brain capacity. I’m Emily Dayton and you people just landed in your 2 buses to the forest near the palace. It caused quite the commotion and I was bored so I came to check it out with the royal scouts” she answered.
“Palace?” Mikayla gasped, “Dayton?” Mandy followed, “2 busses?!
Where are the other 2?!” questioned Valery, “no idea what you mean, only 2 buses were found.
NOW EVERYONE GET OUTSIDE!!
Your friends from the other bus are waiting outside” she said and turned sharply on her heel, then proceeded to exit the bus.
Everyone eventually began to file out of the bus, we saw outside that our luggage was already unloaded.
Me and Valery saw Mike and Jason after claiming our bags and quickly went to join them.
Both of them looked tense and uneased, they looked at all the scouts in uniform around us, all were wearing dark purple formal uniforms with what I assumed was a royal crest or emblem on their backs, a unicorn featured on them.
“Hey boys, what’s up?” Valery greeted, trying to erase some of the tension.
“Ladies, I hope both of you are alright and all” Jason said smiling wryly.
“Yea we’re good. So do you guys know what happened to the other busses?” I asked.
“Not a clue, but high chance they didn’t crash with us or have whatever happened to us happened to them.” Mike replied, “Why do you say that?” asked Valery, “was our Leon in the same bus as you guys?” asked Jason, seeming to tense up with a serious expression.
“I don’t know, Val?” I asked, looking at her, “yea, he was in the back, I was seated next to him actually before I did the seat shuffle, why do you ask?” she asked turning from me to the boys.
The two remained quiet and looked at the guards around us, the air of tension thickening at their silence, Jason getting paler by the minute, while Mike formed a permanent scowl.
Me and Val remained quiet, the looks on their faces making it hard to ask anything further. This story is hosted at g.com.
I looked around and the forest was a normal one, wind blowing and the trees a beautiful shade of green, birds could be heard in the distance but not seen.
I then turned to see the girl from ealier talking with half of the teachers who came with us, all 4 of them seeming panicked, Mrs Russo, Mr Hing, Miss Clinton and Mr Fabian
“Everyone!! Everyone!! Attention please!!” she yelled after leaving the conversation and moving front and center, getting the attention of all, our teachers moving behind her.
“I am Princess Emily Dayton of the kingdom Lulatina, welcome one and all. I do not know how you ended up here but as a representative of the royal family I offer you all accommodation at our palace until we figure out a way to get you home or the transport needed, because from what we’ve heard from your teachers, none of you are from this place and it seems we do not know where exactly you all came from. Long story short, we assume you’re all from another world, and being it us who found you, we cannot simply leave all of you alone out here as common courtesy, so please all of you follow us to the palace so we can hear the full story and a proper plan to move forward can be made there. Thank you!” she said.
Mikayla raised her hand,”yes, what is it?” asked the princess, “by chance, do you know Mike, Jason and Leon Dayton?” she asked, a deafening silence ensued amongst those around as they all looked at the girl in pink for answers, “Why are you asking?” she asked Mikayla sceptically.
“Because all of you have the same last name, eyes and hair color!” Mandy responded, the princess huffed and looked at them angrily.
“Are these surname, look-alike copycats here?!” she questioned and everyone moved aside to give the princess clear view of all 3 boys, a grinning Leon further away, the man in black he first showed up with right next to him.
The princess looked at them and scowled, clinking her tongue in discontempt.
The crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at them one by one.
“Wow, just wow” she chimed bitterly.
“I suppose the mystery of why your here may yet be solved, huh, Leonhardt?” she said, looking Leon straight in the eyes, Leon smirked and cackled darkly.
“I knew it!
You were behind this you sick mama’s boy idiot!” yelled Mike while glaring daggers at Leon, “I’m still not getting my answer here!!” chirped Mikayla.
“Simply put, these 3 are my brothers” answered Emily, leaving everyone shocked while Mike ran to Leon and knocked him on the ground where they began wrestling and fighting non-stop.
The body guard watched in silence, he turned his head in my direction, I felt that behind his shades he was in fact staring intently at me.
I looked away from the imposing gaze and looked at the boys, “aren’t you gonna stop them or something?” Mandy asked, noticing the incompetence of the body guard too.
“No, I’m not to get involved in royal fudes, besides they are unlikely to kill each other” he said and continued to look.
The boys spent a good hour swaping face-to-fist, until they both laid on the ground, panting in exhaustion.
With that the princess and scours beckoned us to follow them and so our journey through the forest began as we went to what we were told was the grand palace of Lulatina.
