I stood just behind one of the giant doors, silently fidgeting. I went over my plan for the millionth time. Attack Gaia like I did Octavian, who's still failed to wake up mostly because I always run over and kick his head if he starts moving, and run like hell. But I still don't trust it.

Then I heard it. The sound of movement outside the door. I froze, my plan suddenly flying away at the thought of Gaia really coming. What if I can't take her out? What would she do if she managed to overpower me? She probably can, I haven't been trained to fight a day in my life. What happened with Octavian was truly just heat in the moment adrenaline. That can't be just switched on at will..

"Woah, these doors are huge!" A voice gasped. It was.. Male. Not Gaia..

"Leo, hush!" Another voice hissed. Wait a second..

Then the doors opened. I was so distracted, I didn't seem to expect that. I gasped, sinking further behind it. Then a figure stepped up. I lunged, not even thinking. But things went bad quickly. I was gripped, flipped over and thrown to the ground.

"Ow.." I groaned, rubbing the back of my head that had hit the ground when I fell.

"William?" "Prince William!"

I blinked, sitting up as I looked at the two voices that just called out to me. And grinned.

"Nico! And.. Hello." I waved awkwardly to the other guy who was standing next to the Dark Prince, but he was busy looking around. Nico stared at me for a second with.. Relief. Then.. Uh oh.

"aaaAHHH!" I cried out, barely rolling out of the way as Nico thrusted a dagger at me. It wasn't his, the twisted one he normally carried around, but a normal straightened one. "COME ON NICO, DON'T KILL ME PLEASE?!"

"P-Princes?" The stranger bit his lip, lifting his hand as if that would stop the raging Night Prince.

Nico continued to chase me, waving his dagger as I ran. Why the hell was he trying to kill me so bad?! "I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU!" The younger prince shouted, lunging and trying to grab me. "YOU NEVER FUCKING LEARN!"
