The young woman smiled at her young daughter as she gently set her in her bed. "So, what story do you want to hear tonight"? She asked, extending her hand to the small book shelf in the girls room. Her daughter smiled happily as she gave her answer. "Can you tell me the one about the monster kingdom?? Pleaaaasse!" she begged. The mother rose an eyebrow as she questioned her daughter. "That one? Are you sure? You've heard that one so many times! Don't you get sick of it?" Her daughter shook her head as her mother sighed and started the story.

"Ok Jen, before I start, I want you to close your eyes and imagaine every word I say." Jen did as her mother instuceted, causeing her mother to smile as the real story started.

"Once upon a time, there once lived two royal halves, the Monster Hybrids, and the humans. For hundreds of thousands of years, the two halves lived in peace. The was never a argument, every one minded their own.

"That sadly came two an end when the humans accused the Monster Hybrids of stealing the youngest child of the Green Royalties family. Of course, this was not true. As the child had only simply went to visit another family, a family of bakers, on the other side of the kingdom. Now, keep in mind this child was only about nine or ten." Jen braced herself for the next part of the story, the part that she could never help but flinch at. Her mother continued.

"The child sadly almost didn't make it over the river. He had nearly drowned if it hasn't been for a kind Monster Hybrid mother that had seen him struggling in the water. It was a very cold day, so the mother had decided to bring him to her house to warm him. She had planned to bring him back after he was warm.

"But when she did... The humans said this proved that the Monster Hybrids had taken thier child. One Human Royalty said other wise. The Blue Royalties, that's who they were. They said that if the Monster Hybrids had truly taken that child, why would the mother be bringing him back? No one agreed with them though. The main Royalties, the Black Royalties, had decided that they could all ethier die or live in the forest.

"All the Monster Hybrids had decided that living in the forest was better than being killed. Though, the current Monster Hybrid Royalty, The Red Hybrids, had given them one last threat before leaving. Do you know what that was?" Jens mother looked into Her eyes, which had opened during the story. " 'If a single human is seen in that forest after we leave. They will be slaughtered, no matter the age'" Jen repeated, slowly closing her eyes which she had open while hee mother had been telling the story she had heard so many times.

"The child died years later, due to a incurable sickness. The Blue Royalties had said that was the karma for sending the Monster Hybrids away. Though, every other human had blamed the Monster Hybrids for putting a curse on the child. Giving him the sickness. Now, was that at all true?" Jen opened her eyes again. "No. It wasn't true at all"

Her mother smiled softly and kisses Jens forehead. "Correct, dear. Now. Go to sleep. I have to say goodnight to your brother and sister." Jen lowered herself into her blankets and slowly bag and to fall asleep as she heard her mother exit her room and head to her siblings rooms.

Jen stared at herself in the mirror, visibly uncomfortable. "Jeeeennn!!! Come here for a sec! I need your help!" Jens sister, Jessica, called from her own room. Jen muttered something under her breath, before she exited her own room and headed to her sisters.

About 10 minutes later

"*sigh* Thanks Sis!" Jessica told her before spinning around to leave her room. Jen stood still for a second before she left the room as well.

Jen wandered around the almost completely empty halls, in search of her favorite maid. Jen turned another corner to see her. The maids name was Alyssa, she was the youngest of all the maids in the castle. Jen rushed over to Alyssa and grabbed her wrist turning around and began to drag her back to her (Jens) room. 'I can walk, your highness' Alyssa inwardly grumbled.

The moment Jen entered her room, she let go of Alyssa's hand and ducked into her closet. Alyssa on the other had, akwardly stood next to Jen's bed. Jen came out of her closet, now wearing a dark blue and black striped shirt, and dark grey sweat pants. Alyssa sat on the bad while Jen plopped herself down across Alyssa's lap (No shipping intended) "Lyss, I can tell you anything right?" Jen asked looking at the maid hopefully. Alyssa sighed softly and looked into Jen's almost completely black eyes. "Of course you can" Alyssa responded softly, gently stroking Jen soft brown hair. "Okay.... Okay... I'm about to tell you something pretty surprising. But please please don't freak out" Jen begged. Alyssa was confused, but nodded nonetheless.

Jen rolled off her bed and sat by the maid. Taking a deep breath she blurted out "I don't feel comfortable being a girl anymore!" Alyssa stared at the 8 year old princess. "Oh... That's all you wanted to tell me?" Alyssa slowly said. Jen stared at her in shock. "You- you mean your not wiered out or anything??" Alyssa rose an eyebrow. "No...? Why should I be? The only thing in weirded out by is that you told me first and not any of your family." Jen relaxed a little, and responded to her. "Yeah, I probably should've told them first. But I really wanted your opinion" Alyssa gave Jen a half smile. "Well, now that you've heard my opinion. Should we tell Queen Helena?" Jen smiled back at her, "One, mom has told you dozens of time to just call her Helena. Two, yeah, lets go tell 'em"

A few minutes later, Jen was awkwardly sitting across from her mother, Alyssa at her side. "Jen, what's this about?" Helena asked Jen, wondering what and if something had been broken. "Umm... Oh God, I don't know how to say this but uh... I... Don't really feel comfortable being a girl anymore mum..." Jen awkwardly explained. The queen was silent for a moment, going over what Jen had said.

"Oh, really? That's what you wanted to say. I thought something had been broken. Here, ill make you a deal. You can wear a binder for a about a year or so, we can cut your hair too, and after that, if this is still what you want. I'll pay for the surgury, deal?" Helena offered.

Jen jerked her head up. "Really?? Your letting me do this?! Thank you thank you thank you!!" Jen ran to her mom and wrapped her arms around her neck. "Of course I am. What kind of mother would I be if I didn't respect the division of my son?" Jen stared at Helena, then to Alyssa (Ngl, I kinda forgot she was standing next to Jen this entire time 😂) Both Alyssa and Jen seemed to be thinking the same thing 'Did she just call Alyssa: You, Jen: Me, Son?? then Jeb looked back to thier mother. "In not sure, but... I have an idea for my trans name" Jen responded. Helena rose an eyebrow "Oh? And that is?" Jen smiled

"Jon. My names gonna be Jon"

6 years ago,

Jon stared into the mirror, quite happy with what he saw. His mom, true to her word, had let him wear a binder for a year. When the year was up. Once Helena had heard his option, she had paid for his surgury.

But he had only had his top surgury, his bottom surgury was scheduled for next week. But, hey! He was a guy now. So its not like he cares!

"Jon! Come down for a second! Mom want to introdue you to some one!" Jons twin, Jacob, shouted from downstairs. Jon left the bathroom, in though of something. Why would his mom want to introduce him to someone the day after his surgury? 'Eh, moms just like that, I guess' Jon thoght, lifting himself onto the stair tailing, sliding down it with ease, something his twin brother couldn't do. 'Hah, sucks to be him' Jon laughed to himself.

He didn't realise he had made it to the end of the stairway until he slipped of the railing, catching himself before he fell to his knees. "HAH! You are such and idiot." Jacob laughed. "Right, Cali?" Jacob nudged the girl standing next to him. The girl- Cali, as Jacob had called her, rolled her eyes and walked up to Jon. Jon straightened himself up, and was met with a girl, not much older than he was. She saw probably about 14 or 15.

Cali held out her hand to Jon. "Hey, I'm Calinie. But just call me Cali. Um... Your Jonathan, right?" Jon shook Cali's hand. "Yeah, I am. But, just call me Jon" Cali smiled slightly. "Sure, Jon. But... Uh... Do you know where your mom, Queen Helena, is? I'm looking for her." Cali asked glancing over his shoulder.

Jon relied to her, "Yeah, I think so. She probably in the kitchen pantry. Go straight down that hall, turn left, keep going straight, turn right, and its the last door on your left" Jon instructed. "If she's not there, then ask the first maid you see"

Cali perked up happily. "Thanks, Jon!" She stepped around him and turned down the hall he had pointed at. Jacob angrily stormed up to his shorter twin. "OH, SO SHE'LL CALL YOUR BY YOUR NOT NAME. BUT SHE WON'T CALL ME BY MY NAME!! He shreaked.

Jon winced as Jacob screamed almost directly in his ear. "Depends on the name you gave her. If your real name, then she'll probably call you by that the next time she sees you. If that dumb name you give to every female who walks in that isnt related to us, then she defently won't call you by it" Jon flatly said, then spun around and walked up the stairs, silently snickering at his twins shocked face.

It was the first time he had spoken like that, other than saying what he had said to people in his head to Alyssa. Huh, wonder why? Ehh, not that big of a deal. Probably cause Jake was bein a jerk... Or does it have to do with becoming a guy...? Jon noted that as a possibility. 'Oooh! Cake'

"Hey freak!"

Jon cringed slightly as he heard the voice behind him. And that voice belonged to the second biggest jerk in the school, and possibly the entire kingdom, and Jons main bully, Jaryd. Jon sighed and turned around to be met with Jaryds bright green eyes.

(Side note: I come up with some of these carchters name and designs on the spot. Like Alyssa, Jaryd, and Jess and Jacob)

"What do you want, Jaryd?" Jon asked, slightly irritated. "Oh, look! The Trans freak is talking back! How cute!" Jaryd laughed. Jon rolled his eyes, turned to his right, and started walking away. He barely got three feet away from his locker when someone grabbed his shirt collar, choking him slightly. Whoever had grabbed him turned Jon around to face them. And he was met with none other than Jaryd best friend, Caleb. "Hey, freak. Saw ya tryin' tah escape Jaryd here" Jaryd was suddenly standing by Caleb. "Thought we should reach ya a lesson" Jaryd stepped in front of Jon as Caleb let go of his shirt. Jaryd rose his hand to punch him.

Jon braced himself for the punch, but when nothing happened, he opened his eyes. A girl was standing behind Jaryd, twisting his arm behind his back. Of to the girls left, two other people stood. On a boy, the other another girl

(The black haired one is twisting Jaryd's arm behind him. I can guess you know where the other two are standing, and uh... Ignore Katy and Victoria's wings
Also, just for this book, Victoria has green eyes, Katy has brown eyes and Alex has blue eyes)

The one who was twisting Jaryds arm back let him go once she was Jon had opened his eyes. She shoved Jaryd to his (Jaryd's) right. "Beat it, Jaryd." and with that both Jaryd and Caleb ran off. The black haird girl approached Jon.

"Hey, uh, sorry bout those two. They think they own the school. And they've only been here a few months" She said. Jon rubbed the back of his head "Its fine, I'm use to them. I'm Jon, by the way" Jon held out his hand to the black haired girl. She smiled and shook his hand. "I'm Victoria, these two are Katy and Alex" The two others walked up to Victoria and Jon, standing so Alex was in the middle and Katy and Victoria was in ethier side of him. (Like the pic above) "Do you want to hang out with us after the clubs end?" It was Alex who spoke this time. 'Clubs...? OH-' "SHOOT! I FORGOT I HAD A CLUB TO GET TO!" Jon shouted running down the hall, leaving the three friends alone and confused in the hallway.

Jon burst into the Newspaper room, where the other members turned to him. "Wow, the club president, late for his own club" One of the members laughed. "Oh, be quiet Nina. It wasn't intentional. I had a run in with Jayrd and Caleb." Jon grumbled. Nina snickered slightly. Jon sighed and pulled a few papers out of his backpack. "Okay, so, here what we're all working on. Nina, Lily, you two have the weather. Max, you have the teacher interviews. Alexis you have the lunch menus..."

Time skip after clubs end

Jon sighed and grabbed his bag. The Newspaper Club had ran like usual. He walked out of the club room and started to make his way down the hallways to get out of the maze if a school. Halfway there, Alex stopped him. "Alex? Why are you here?" Jon asked, not knowing what club he could be interested in. (Even though he just started talking to him today) Alexs response was simple "I'm in the Lititure Club, and you didn't answer my question from earlier." Jon thought back for a moment. 'What had Alex's question been again? OH!' Jon thought before realising. "Um... Sorry but I can't today. I have something to do at home." Jon explained quickly. Alex frowned a little

"Oh, okay. Here, take this. So you can text Me, Katy, and Vick" Alex handed Jon a peaice of paper with three numbers on it. "Thanks, i'll add your guy's numbers as a contact later. Cya Alex!" as soon as Jon said that, he stepped around Alex and started back to walking home. Behind him he heard Alex call to him "Bye, Jon!" and heard him walk the other derection.

2 Years Ago

Jon rolled onto his side, quickly cheaking his phone. Nethier Alex, Katy or Victoria had responded or read his good morning texts yet. Not that he expected them to. After all, it they were on break from school for a few days. The reason was unknown to the students. But hey, not that any of them were complaining. They all were quite happy about it. And Jon know that the step sisters (Yes, Victoria and Katy are step sisters, sue me) and Alex like to sleep in when they were out of school.

Usually Jon did to, but he had woken up for some strange reason, and couldn't fall back asleep. He stood up, slipping on a pair of fuzzy socks considering how cold the castle could be in the morning. He quickly and quietly opened his bedroom door to get to the kitchen.

He took careful steps as he walked, having memorized each squeaky floor board the castle had. Considering the fact almost every night when he was younger, and still known as Jen, he and Jess would sneak into the kitchen to grab some of any left over dessert they had.

Jon made it to the stairs with out stepping on any squeaky floor boards. Jon smiled, and parents say staying up late was a bad thing! Jon quietly made his way down the stairs, clutching the railing in case he trips on something. Like their large husky, Miki.

Jon hesitated to go down the last few steps. Now anxious that one of the cooks, butlers or maids might be awake. He wouldn't be surprised by that. It was common they would be awake at this time, to get the day started.

He was relieved that he had made it to the kitchen with out running into anybody. Jon straightened himself up, and walked to the freezer. To him, it was easier to eat something while everyone else was asleep, considering there was no one to ask for some of his food. And Miki wouldn't beg him for any considering she was also probably asleep, so added bonus!

Jon closed the freezer after grabbing a box of Eggos. Only then he saw a cat sitting on the window cile. It was hard to see exactly what color it was, but Jon was certain it was black, with some sort of color of patches. Jon shut turned in the dim lights, and opened the window. The cat climbed inside and sat on the counter. Jon saw it was in fact black, with ginger patches and a white ear and paw *mrrow* the cat let out a small noise, Jon could only guess it was a purr, when he started to stroke its ears. He closed the window again.

"Uhh... Hey bud. Where did you come from? Do you have an owner?" Jon whispered to the cat. Quickly feeling stupid, its a cat! How's it going to answer him? As if the cat had understood him, it seemes to shake its head once it heard Jon's question. Jon was a little confused as to why the cat would come here, it wasn't raining out, so it count have come here for any shelter.

"Ooohhh! Your probably hungry, aren't you?" Jon realised. He set the cat on the counter and opened the refridgorater. 'Okay, what's something this cat would eat... We have chicken, nutella, milk- Oh, the cat would probably want some of that. Now back to food. More chicken, even more chicken... Why do we have so Much chicken?? Ooh! Here something she would like!'

Jon smiled and pulled out a small can of tuna. He opened it and held it out to the cat. The cat sniffed it a little and began to eat it. (Dunno if this is how cats are supposed to eat tuna, but its how my cousins cat does it so just roll wit it) Jon set the tuna onto the counter and open a cuburt and grabbed a small bowl. He poured some milk into the bowl and set that in front of the cat as well. Jon noticed that the cat was already finished with the tuna.

"Jon...? Why is there a cat on owr counter top....?" someone questioned from behind him. Jon spun around and saw Jess standing in the door way, looking like she was still half asleep. "Oh, er... It was at the window and it looked hungry so I thought I should give it some food..." Jon quickly explained.

Jess cracked open her eyes a little more than they were. "Its pretty..." She mumbled and walked to the cat, slowly holding out her hand to it. The cat responded by gently rubbing its head against her fingers. Jon grabbed the now empty bowl and tuna can, placing the bowl in the sink and the tuna can in the trash.

When he turned back to his sister, Jess had the cat curled up in her arms. "So, what can we do with the cat now?" Jess asked looking away from the cat to Jon. "Well, I don't really want to keep referring to it as 'The Cat' so, why don't we give it a name?" Jon suggested.

Jess ran her hand over the cats fur. "Okay.... I have and idea of what we could name it! The ginger patches look like flames to me, expessily with the black. So, why not Flame? And, AND, the name can be used for both a girl and boy, since we don't know what gender they are yet" Jess offered.

Jon studyed the cat for a few seconds. "Well, now that you mention it, the patches do kinds look like flames. I like it!" Jess perked up happily. "So, it settled! Flames their new name!" Flame purred in agreement at their new name. Jon opened the window that Flame had entered through. "Okay, Flame. You can come back any night you want to. But you kinda have to leave now. We have a husky, Miki, and I don't think she'll like you very much." Jon said to Flame while Jess set them on the window ceil.

Flame purred again and jumped from the window to the grass. And just in time, as one of the cooks entered the kitchen to see Jess and Jon standing with the closed box of why is still on the counter. "I'm assuming nither of you two have eaten any of those? Here I'll make them for you two, so you can change into something other than your pajamas" he laughed slightly, giving the two siblings a smile as they left the kitchen.

They parted ways once they reach the second floor. Jess paused for a second to turn to Jon, stopping him to. "So... I guess Flames now like our own wild pet?" She asked. Jon shrugged "I guess they are..?"

Jess smiled at his response and went to her own room. While Jon went to his as well. Once there he saw both Alex and Victoria had responded to his good morning text. Alex responding Good morning as well and Victoria complaining that he was texting her at four in the morning.

Jon smiled at their responses. Glad he had met them the year before.

1 year ago

Jon grumbled slightly as he messed with the collar of his dark blue shirt. His mom was hoasting a ball like party today, and wanted Him, Jacob, and Jess to be with her.

Not that he didn't like the party's his mom threw. In fact, he loved them. But he didn't like that he had to dress up for them. Jon push the thought aside and focused on his clothes. He had decided that just a simple dark blue button up shirt, black jeans, black gloves, white and blue shoes, and his crown would be good enough.

Not even his mom dressed to fancy, usually just a nice dress, some gloves, wedge heels, and her crown. So why should he? Jon sighed and put on his crown, wondering if Katy would be there. He already knew Alex couldn't, having caught the flu. And Victoria had a play to go to, having being a part of the theater clubs stage crew. Only Katy said she might go. It was unclear for her.

"JON!" Queen Helena shouted from downstairs. Jon groaned and grabbed his phone, checking for any new texts. Only one, it was from Victoria.

Vic- Imma text u guys how the Play goes while its running along

"Of course you are Vic" Jon said to himself, before he turned and went to see his mom. Jess stepped out of her own room, harshly fiddling with her crown. "I fuckin hate this thing... Oh hey Jon." Jess hissed before she saw her younger brother walking past, and sprinted a little to catch up to him.

"Hey Jess, your crown frustrating you again?" Jon asked, teasing his sister a little. "Oh Ha Ha. Your so mature, Jonathan" Jess shot back "But, yes, it is. I really, really fuckin hate it" Jess finished her mini rant and looked at Jon. "So, any of your friends coming?" Jon shrugged. "Ehh... Alex and Vic can't, Kat isnt sure though" Jess nodded, looking away from her brother.

"One more question..." Jon looked at her, Jess had focused her gaze on the floor. "Shoot" Jon replied. Jess took in a deep breath. "Why did you decide to become a guy? I'm just wondering.." Jess broke her gaze from,the floor to look at him, crossing her arms tightly in front of her chest. "Well... I guess I didn't really like being a girl anymore... I started to feel like I was born in the wrong body... Like I was ment to be a guy..." Jon slowly explained. Jess didn't respond, and just nodded again.

They were at the stairs by then, Jess quickly went down them, Jon soon followed more slowly. Jacob was waiting next to their mother, wedding a simmiler outfit to Jon's, just a few more extra things, such as a few gems on the sleeves of his shirt, and his shirt being a darker blue.

"Fuckin finally. You two are so slow! Learn to-" Jacob atemted to further with his little 'speech', but Helena slapped him in the back of his head. Then smiled at Jess and Jon. "You two look amazing! And I'm glad to see you two didn't go to fancy" Helenas gaze at him went unoticed by Jacob. Jess smiled "Yeah, so are we going to start or what? We have a lot of people waiting!" She declared, causing her mom to smile. "We do! Onward my royal little knights!" Helena said with the same entusisum as her daughter. Jon laughed the followed the two girls, Jacob groaning and following him soon after.

The four of them arrived at the door of the ball room. Alyssa and Cali were stand in there aswell, Cali freaking out over something, Alyssa trying to calm her down. "Cali- Cali! Calm- Calm down" "CALM DOWN!? LYSS, THIS IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF CALM!!" Alyssa sighed, deciding to give up.

"Um.. What going on..?" Helena asked. "Cali's freaking out if her dads gonna be there. I'm trying to a sure her he's not. And we're just going back and forth on that topic" Alyssa explained. Jess rolled her eyes, stepped up to Cali, and slapped her. "Get yourself together, woman!" She snapped. Cali shook her head. "Okay, okay! I'll stop if it means you won't hit me again!"

Alyssa gave Jess a thankful look, before she pulled open the ballroom doors. They all entered, and took their rightful places. Helena, Jess, Jon, and Jacob in their thrones, Alyssa and other miads and butlers on the left of them, and Cali and the other guards on the right.

  The queen nodded to the guards, saying 'Open the doors now'. Two guards each pulled open one of the ballroom doors, opening it to the public. As soon as they were open, people began to spill inside, crowding around the thrones, murmuring among themselves.

"Oh my gosh! I can't believe I'm inside the Blue Royalties castle!"

"I heard that one of her children is transgender! I really want to meet them!"

"Ooh! She's soo cute! Will she talk to me? What would I even say?!"

Things like that were heard among the murmurs. Helena stood,and called her hands together, at once the murmurs stopped, everyone looking at her. The queen smiled at everyone
"Good evening eveyone! As you know, I am Queen Helena of the Blue Royalties. And these are my children, Princess Jessica" Jess stood and curtsied, before sitting back down "Prince Jonathon," Jon, like Jess, stood bowed, and sat back down, "And Prince Jacob!" Jacob mirrored Jon's actions.

Helena sat with her three children, and continued her 'speech'. "I am so glad to have you all here. Now, I'm sure you're all getting tired of my rambling. So let the ball begin!" As soon as she said that, everyone started to interact. Music started to play, and so did dancing. Jon scanned the crowd. Walking off the platform of the thrones, continuing to scan the crowd for Katy. He pulled his phone out of his pocket, seeing three new text messages from Victoria.

Vic- Play just started, light manager turned the lights in to bright. Nearly blinded entire audience, LOL

Jon put his phone back in his pocket, easily slipping out of the ball room. Knowing his mom wouldn't mind. He walked around the halls, eventually finding himself in front of the back door, which led to a large garden, full of flowers and plants on one side, on the other was bear grass.

Jon put his hands in his pockets and headed to the side of the garden that just had grass. His phone went off twice, Jon guessed it was ethier Katy and Alex replying to Victoria's text, or it was Victoria double texting them. Etheir way, he could still read it later.

Jon kicked a medium sized rock over to the fence, not to far from,its original resting place. He stepped onto the rock, crossing his arms over the top of the fence. Jon lazily stared at the forest behind the castle, his mind wandering to different things. Jon's mide suddenly went to the story he had been told by his mom years ago.

'Wasn't there a forest of some sort in that story..? Oh yeah, the one the Monster Hybrids got banished to... Why do I feel like there's more to that story now than I did when I was a kid?' Jon shook his head as he unfolded his arms from fence stepping off the rock before he lay on his back, folding his arms on his chest, letting himself drift into his thoughts and eventually sleep.

*Thirty minutes later*

Jon groaned, waking up by someone jabbing a sharp object into his ribs. He cracked open his eyes, temporally blinded by the sun. "Ey bro, ya good?" Jon sat up, groaning again when he did. His back was sore and stiff from falling asleep on the grass. "Okay, imma ask again. Did you. Get your ass. Beaten up. By a. Wild clump of grass or something? You look half dead" Jon glanced to his side, Jess was squatting on the ground, in one of her hands she was holding a stick.

"No, I'm fine. Just fell asleep out here, I guess" Jon answered rubbing his eyes. Jess nodded and stood up. Jon silently being glad she had decided to wear some leggings under her skirt. (Get your mind out of the gudders, she's his sister, ya nastys) Jess yawned slightly. "Welp, glad to see you aren't dead, mom wanted me to see where you were" Jess held,out a hand for Jon. Jon grabbed her wrist, allowing Jess to pull him to his feet.

Jess threw the stick she was holding to her side. She yawned as,she pooped her back. "How did you manage to fall asleep out here? I can't even sleep with a nightlight on!" Jess asked, looking from her brother to the fence.

Jon shrugged. "I have no idea, guess I was just really tired." He followed her look to the fence. ".... What are you looking at...?" He asked, not seeing anything. Jes shook her head, as if trying to clear her head of something. "Just thought I saw something, guess I didn't. Come on, moms probably wondering where we are" Jess said, she cast another weary look to the forest.

Jon slowly nodded. Jess turned away from him, walking back to their castle. Jon looked back at the forest. For a split second, he thought he saw something move behind the trees.

He shook his head as Jess had done, he turned away from the forest. He ran to catch up with Jess.

He had just imagined what he had seen.

That forest has been empty for years.....

........... Right......?

5,386 words

Whoo, finally done after working on this for about three months. Not including the writers block I got at the end of this chapter. And I know that the beginning was really bad, I was still un-used/ hadn't written a real book in a while then.

Jess, Jacob, Cali, Helena, and Alyssa don't have designs yet, but they'll most likely have them soon. And you'll see how Flare will affect the plot. I know Ringo could've took her place, but I felt that would've been to obvious

Updates will be slow, as writing this chapter was
