It seemed as if William had a knack for bombing people.

As if his all knowing nature wasn't enough, we were princes and princess who had to save an entire Kingdom.

Haha, I think I will grow insane. Never saved a small fly from being swatted and he expects us to save a Kingdom.

" And how exactly do you expect us to do that? I mean you do realise that we are mere college students and - "

William cut me off by saying that, " -Ya I know that we are mere college students but we are blessed with intelligent brains and also some extraordinary powers to control the forces of nature. Also this kingdom which we are supposed to save has its entire. ...you know. ..kinda balance supported on our shoulders. We sort of maintain the balance of the environment of verulia.

This whole thing sounds so ridiculous. ..

I mean, is this person for real? !Powers. ..ok I admit we have the powers to play pranks on people and also to win a pie throwing competition. ..But powers to save a Kingdom. ... to bring balance. ..you have got to be kidding me.

Hell, even chemistry made far more sense...

Seeing the apparent gravity of the situation and also the seriousness with which William spoke was enough to set me off...

Into fits of hysterical laughter.

Generally I was aware of the fact that my laugh was a mix of a wheezing donkey and a dying whale, therefore I kept my laugh to a minimum...

Well I had lost my marbles at this point. ..

When I revived, I came face to face with the hard slapping reality.

The whole cafeteria now was staring at me as if they saw the most amusing clown playing his part where he has to imitate dying during a fit of wheezing cough.

How much blood did you pump to my face, dear heart? I am sure it must be enough to start pouring out of my face.
The silence was killing me...

And then finally, the thing that I had been dreading the most...

The cacophony of laughs that I was now about to face. ..

I looked. ..correction. ..glared at people who were laughing their heads off because of me.

God, earth please swallow me up...I wish I could just maybe freeze the queen bitch. ...yeah she came back after throwing a tantrum outside at a random student. ..

Yeah kid, my condolences are with you.

Anyways, the bitch in question was laughing, ok more like cackling at my laugh, displaying the row of completely straight white perfect teeth. ..

How I want to knock them all out and gift it to her on her birthday. ...yeah, sadist pleasure.

Suddenly something strange happened. ..

There was a cracking sound and Madeline was covered in a thin sheet of ice! Holy shit! !

She started shrieking madly and then after a few moments the ice sheet fell apart. Everyone was too stunned to move a muscle. William whispered in my ear so that only I could hear, " See sweetheart, I know you want to deep freeze her, but keep your thoughts in check. This can have unwanted conclusions as well. Your powers are controlled by your mind. If you think of using these powers on ordinary humans, they will suffer the aftereffects of your powers, which I think you do realise now. "

I thought it would be better if I just got up and went away. It was time for my classes anyways.

I got up and started moving away, but William caught my arm and inched closer towards me. Uhhhh-ohhh. ..

Sudden temperature rise? Man, how are we supposed to fight global warming when such people are around?

My mind was wrecking havoc with its imagination. Instead of doing what I was thinking he would do, he simply whispered, " Babe, you are coming to my house at 7 today. We have loads to catch up with. Alex and Daniel are also coming. From there we will set out towards the kingdom of verulia. Adios, Princess Rosalind. "

Completely ignoring his way of addressing me, I asked bewildered, " Y- You mean. .we are going today? !"

" Yes ", he said, " We don't want our beloved verulia to wait for too long. So don't forget. Get all the stuff you want and reach my house at 7 p.m sharp."

*************

I went back home after my classes, trying to process whatever I had learned today. So according to what William said, I could do whatever I wanted to do by simply thinking about that happening to a particular something. I could do whatever I wanted to do.

Gosh, my brain would blast if I over thought this.

Maybe everything would be clear tonight at William's place. With this hope, I drifted off to sleep.

************

" You are coming to pick me up, remember? My parents aren't at home. I don't have my baby today ."

" For heaven's sake, Eliza, it's just a Ferrari. Stop calling it your baby ", Alex whined on the phone.

" Nope, she's my baby and not just a Ferrari. And yes we are going so get yourself here now. "

We all were getting ready for going to William's home. God knows what more secrets were to unravel. I packed stuff like toiletries and some of my best clothes and other casual clothes.

What? Don't judge me. A princess needs to look like one....

Five minutes later, I was aware of the fact that the two idiots aka Alex and Daniel had arrived by their incessant honking. Honestly I feel bad for their Lamborghini.

I grabbed my knapsack and headed out. I left a note for my parents :

Hey mom and dad,
Just know that your daughter is somewhere safe. I am sorry I couldn't tell you before about this. I have to fulfil my duties. But also if this is a hoax, I will be back after I beat the shit out of the person who fooled me. I am with Alex and Daniel,  so there won't be much problem.

          Your lizard,
           Eliza.

With that, I went out and hopped into their car and we started to make our way to William's home.

*************

So, what more is going to happen? What are the secrets to be unravelled?

Stay tuned for more.

But for now,

That's for all folks!
