so im writing a book, right?
well i've decided to post my story on Gaia!


so i'll release it in entrys (chapters)

here's the 1st:

“Jaim!”
Suddenly the whole world seemed to shift. That one voice Jaim had grown to love, to want. But, had to stay away from at all cost. He couldn’t be near her, she wasn’t good for him, what she was and what she represented, none of it could be shared with him. Dangerous.
That’s right, she was too dangerous…

Jaim heard footsteps echoing on the pure glass floor. She grasped the wall pulling her hiding form even more into the shadows. She looked at her feet, not recognizing the terrified face reflected in the glass tiles. “This is it,” she thought, “I can give myself up or be killed…” but somehow she couldn’t make herself move. If she left now, captured and perhaps never released, what would happen to him? Would he be hunted down too? Or would she cause him even more pain than before?
There’s no turning back. She knew that. Whichever choice she made would affect her future greatly. But oddly it wasn’t her she was worried about. She was worried for the boy she knew must be idly in bed right now, and for the other boy she risked herself for, everyday of her life, hiding in the closed door behind her.
If she gave herself up, would the one she is protecting be saved? Would the boy be able to sleep safely ever again? The cloaked figure coming closer wouldn’t stop until all of them, and even those associated, were dead. Would she stand and fight or back down?

“Class we have a transfer student…” I smiled the cutest smile I could dish up. I had been expelled from my previous school. Of course, that never showed on my permanent records. Undercover P.A.I agents could be found even among the school board.
Can you please take a seat next to Dani, um, Jaim, is it?” “Yes it is thank-you”. I had said the same thing at so many new schools too many times to count. It had become involuntary. I went ahead and walked towards the empty desk.

I then sat down and adjusted my bright highlighter-green shirt that seemed to flow perfectly with my pitch-black jeans. My shoulder-length dark hair swished as I turned to see just who Dani was. It seemed the boy had the same idea. As soon as I turned so did he. I made a quick evaluation of him, which was a habit I picked up from being a guard. Good to know the small details of your enemies and even your friends. Lots of things could be to your advantage, whether it was a combat with the enemy or a brutal betrayal.

Dani had light brown hair, with bangs that clung to his face and rested all in his eyes. The rest was long too, just past the ears. His eyes had a green sparkle to them, and his smile seemed to glow. He kept on smiling to himself as he opened his text book to the given page.
I kept an eye on him the whole rest of class. As the bell rang to end first period, the only class that I didn’t have with my master, Dani decided to come up to me. What is up with him? I’ve only been next to him for like 45 minutes. Not even in school for a week, and he thinks he could be all friendly? I didn’t have time for making new friends, and if I did, my first choice wouldn’t be him.

At first I ignored him. Aggravated and pretending not to notice, I rounded a corner drawing nearer to my second period class. “Um, you’re Jaim? Right?”
I stopped short right outside of the door. “Yes?” “Well, I wondering, well, if, um…” what is he doing? Jabbering on doesn’t save your life in a duel! “I was wondering if you needed any help finding your classes, since you haven’t been here before and all…”
“No, I’m perfectly fine, see? Map.” I turned and walked into my next class without a second glace back. Out of the corner of her eye, I could see Dani’s shoulders slouch, as he exhaled a sigh. All that was left was his echoing footsteps on the tiled floor as he turned and ran towards his next class.
I walked calmly through the door (another habit) and sat down at the one empty desk. The small black haired boy with tanned skin, turned to smile at me. Every time I saw his swoosh of hair, his smile, and felt his warm aura my heart skipped a beat. His Majesty could make anyone’s day a thousand times better!
I got up, walking towards him to find that three girls had already approached him. Typical, the girls always drooled over him every time my king and I were granted yet another new school. So instead, I made a slight U-turn back to my seat.
Class soon started and by some magical luck Darren happened to have a desk right next to mine. He slipped a piece of paper in front of me.
Good morning
It simply read. I replied.
Good morning, you’re majesty
I effortlessly tossed the note back, as the teacher turned.
He opened it, and rolled his eyes at me.

Rule, remember? You have to call me Darren in places like this…

I never did like doing that. In my less than perfect calligraphy, very much unlike his perfect writing, I replied once more.
What ever, Darren…

Now we were passing back and forth consecutively.

Shouldn’t you be paying attention?
Don’t worry, I am. Skills, remember? Multi-tasking.
Very funny, Jaim, although I suppose you are right. I forget just how trained my swordsmen are... =)
Thank-you
You are much too sophisticated.
Is that a good thing?
Perhaps. What are you doing after school?
I’m taking you to the P.A.I Building. They said they needed to talk with you, it’s important supposedly
Since when? They never tell me anything…
That’s not exactly correct. They didn’t want you to be distracted today. They’ll explain everything when we get there. Besides, it’s probably just the same old meeting…
Right.

I quickly dropped the note in my messenger bag as the teacher glanced our way. She gave me an odd look but said nothing. The bell for our third period class rang. King Darren and I walked together silently to our next class. As soon as we walked through the door I knew something was up. I tensed in the doorway, resting my fingers warningly on His Majesty. He looked at me like I was crazy, but he had learned to keep his mouth shut and trust my judgment. After all, I was trained for this sort of thing.

A Boy of equal size and looks to that of Darren was staring at me. His Black hair was cut a bit shorter and his tanned skin a shade lighter. We held the gaze for a moment before he broke it to go back to his paper and pin.
King Darren noticed the boy as well and his eyes narrowed. I didn’t like the way he looked at us, as if he could see right through to what we really were. But, I couldn’t stand here in the doorway for much longer; someone was going to think we became statues. I grabbed Darren’s hand and pulled him to a set of empty desk. I was suddenly in a bad mood. He sensed it too, and made a point of knowing so by not asking any questions. Yet. He was bound to start getting impatient later.
The late bell rang just as a larger boy entered the room. I guessed that it had started to rain by the dark colored splotches all over his Dark blue shirt and jeans. He shook out his long blonde hair and quickly took a seat in front of me which also put him next to the boy from before. He seemed to know him well, for they exchanged a whispered greeting and the blonde boy nodded deeply. I decided I was going to keep an eye on those two.

As the class progressed, I noticed they were passing notes. They must’ve been doing it for years on end, they didn’t even have to glace twice before they flicked their wrist and sent the folded square landing neatly on each other’s desk. I was getting very suspicious of the pair. And on second thought, it was weird how they had the same routine as King Darren and I. I Saw my opportunity as if it came knocking. The Blondie’s throw was a bit off this time, and I was able to snatch the piece of paper right out of the air without the second boy noticing.
Blondie whipped his head around to give me a death glare. IF you dare open that… he mouthed, I won’t forgive you! I contemplated my options. I was now getting very worried about these two, and in the position I was in, as well as with the training I’ve had all my life, I knew that this was the perfect opportunity to find out what was so important in that note that our sides could be made sudden enemies. But on the other hand, that could be a dangerous move. I had no idea who these two were. I felt His Majesty’s eyes on me and I slowly turned. What the heck are you doing? He mouthed. It’s funny how nations could be making enemies or allies right in the middle of a classroom.

I held up 4 fingers, two from each hand, and pushed them together to make a square. Darren saw this and nodded. We had a system by shapes, signs, and number of fingers. It always came in handy. The square meant that I was engaging in matter that he didn’t need to mess with. Some things like this should be left to the strategist, fighters, and guards, which all applied to me. Darren sighed and turned back to look at the front board on which the teacher was writing notes we were supposed to be copying down. I would get them from His Majesty later.
I turned back to Blondie (he had a name, I’m sure, but this wasn’t the time to ask) and he once again mouthed something quickly which I translated into His Lordship has great power. I don’t think you want to be doing this… I stuck my tongue out at him. He looked at me funny. Ha! That should’ve been videotaped!

I realized I was running out of time. This note had to have important information in it, only to be shared with the two of them. I would give him back the note for now. I couldn’t take the risk of endangering King Darren or anyone at the P.A.I. I would just have to find out more about these two. I tossed the note back to his friend, who had witnessed the whole scene, and whispered you win!
Blondie smirked and exchanged a glance with his friend as the bell rang. “Cody, Carron? I would like both of you to stay after class.” The dark haired boy nodded at the teacher as Blondie’s eyes followed me out the door. So Blondie has a name, huh? Cody is it? And Carron is his friend… I didn’t like this one bit.
