I walked for what felt like hours towards the mountains. I could see the blue of the ocean on the horizon, so I decided to keep walking in the hope I would find a beach and go swimming.
New Zealand had this peace about it. It was beautiful and had all sorts of weird plants. Such as the Kowhai, which was this yellow flower that from a distance looked like short bananas. I watched the birds fly in and out of them eating the nectar.I always wanted to go into a career that includes nature. Not sure what exactly but there were many interesting options. Imagine me doing something like Bear Grylls."Adventurer Taylen Nova. Your show could be called Novatures." I laughed. Jibin would have found that funny. Wait did I miss him? Nah. I just missed having someone to talk to I guess."You're a weird kid." I told myself then asked, "Wait a minute, why am I talking to myself out loud?" I shrugged my shoulders. I better get used to only having myselfPrince Tay's pov"So I planned to go through fan mail now but we can do something else if you like," I remarked as we walked into my room. Isla dropped her bag on the floor and ran to jump on my bed. "You have always had the most comfortable bed!" She squealed and grabbed a pillow to cuddle. "Fan mail? Ooh, that sounds fun." "Okay." I laughed, "Are you hungry?" "Actually, yeah! Can we get that snack platter we had the last time I was here?" I nodded and dialled the kitchen, "Bring a snack platter up to my room. Russians, cheese grillers, chicken wings, ribs, crackers with muscles..." "Mini pizza!" Isla yelled."...and mini pizza's," I ordered then hung up the phone. "Okay let's get started." She stated and walked over to my table. She took one of the letters and opened it up. "Prince Tay, you are so sexy! You are also kind and funny, please come visit Romania for a fash
News spread quickly as soon as Isla and I revealed we were "dating". My fans were angry at me for not telling them sooner but after a few apology videos, they came around. I actually gained more followers which was a shock. Usually, when a sexy man like myself gets into a relationship they lose followers. Everyone was actually happy for us. I didn't even feel guilty for lying to them. Is it lying actually? I'm going to marry her, we just aren't in love. Isla and I were named the couple of the month in July. I "confessed" my feelings to my father that same month and informed him of my plans to marry Isla.He was ecstatic and threw a week-long celebration. There was a lot of partying, Isla got so wasted one night which caused our first argument. The future Queen could drink yes but not get drunk. Even after 6 months, I didn't find her annoying, which was a good thing. I can survive the for eternity thing. "Babe," Isla called and came to sit on my lap
Mr Nova's povA second later everything came back to me. I was thrown against my team members and fell back. Just another failed test run. "I'm alive!" I laughed while still on the floor. The lab had light shining in from a massive hole in the ceiling. The floor was covered in sand and pieces of rubble. The electricity must have caused a lot of damage. "Alveera are you okay?" I asked and quickly sat up to scan the room. The other people weren't part of my team. These were strangers. There was a teenage boy, a young woman and a man wearing some bold clothes. "What the fuck!" The man shouted and stumbled back."Don't come near me!" The woman hissed in Italian and held up a dagger full of dry blood. Luckily I knew some Italian and could understand what she had said. She was dangerous, I noticed her leg had a stab wound which was the exact width of the dagger. I also saw blood run down her arm from a hole. Perhaps a bull
"Okay, kid don't freak out. We all have the same name." I replied after clearing my throat."Don't worry the dagger is for those two, not you," Cuore stated since the boy kept staring at her. She offered him a weak smile and he seemed to calm down."Are they bad?" He whispered to her."I'm not sure." "You do realize we can hear you right." Prince Tay barked. "Also we don't know where we are or how we got here." "I might be able to answer that. Where were you before everything went dark?" I inquired."At a fashion show. How do you know I saw everything turn black before being locked in here with you 3?" The man questioned."It happened to all of us, you idiot," Cuore explained. "New Zealand, like near Māhia." The boy replied and wrapped his arms around his knees."Yes, that's the place the fashion show was located. On this like flat piece of land by a cliff." Prince Tay nodded.
Cuore's povI saw the boy had slipped my dagger into his pocket. At least he would keep it safe. Mr Nova and the Prince pulled me up. My arm hurt more as the bullet was pressed deeper. I felt like I had no energy to even blink. I closed my eyes and let them carry me out. When Taylen touched my hand I felt a sense of peace. The other two seemed so familiar, that is probably due to the fact that they were me. Just male versions I guess. I liked the kid, he was caring and first turned back to help me up when the door opened. I knew I could trust him.Prince Tay was very attractive, he kept staring at me which made me feel uncomfortable. I knew I was plain but he didn't need to stare. Mr Nova looked at me with concern. I knew he feared me, which he should. One wrong move and I will slit his throat. My body kept uncontrollably shaking and I broke out into a cold sweat. I guess my dagger had been covered in some sort of poison when that woman stabbed it into
I woke up in a hospital bed. The soft mattress and blankets were warm against my skin. This time I was actually in a hospital. I slowly sat up and noticed I had a drip in my wrist once again. I looked at my arm, it had a bandage wrapped over where I was shot. I pulled the blanket off, even my thigh was bandaged. I had on a hospital gown and I was clean. I even felt so much better.Someone cleared their throat next to me and I looked in that direction. Mr Nova sat on a chair against the wall. Prince Tay was on another chair while Taylen sat on the floor with his head against that chair. Both of them were asleep. I noticed they too were clean and Prince Tay had changed clothes."We asked to shower. The Prince got those clothes from lost property, which took a lot of convincing for him to change." Mr Nova explained. "Oh. What did the doctor say?" I asked and pulled up the blanket. I only had the gown on."You were malnourished, lost a lot of
Taylen's povMy mouth flew open when I heard how much the Prince had spent on a ring. A ring. An engagement ring. Not even the actual ring. I smiled at Cuore as she took another bite of the food. It was good she was eating. I felt like she was my older sister. We were all so worried when she went in. It legit felt like there was something missing when she wasn't around. Mr Nova was very smart. He was good at telling us what to do and I respected him a lot. He seemed unsure about Cuore at first but when the doctors told us she had been through horrible circumstances, he softened and showed he also cared about her.Prince Tay was annoying. I don't know but the way he stared at Cuore was creepy! It was as if this was the first time he had seen a woman. He also seemed to look down at Mr Nova and me. Well I understood why he looked down at me, I was only 15 but Mr Nova deserved more respect. The hospital had questioned us
"Thank you, sir. Every day the cash will be available for you to collect over the course of 15 days." The owner marvelled and shook Prince Tay's hand. "Every day either one of us will come to collect the money. Pleasure doing business with you." Mr Nova stated and also shook his hand. He had a black briefcase in the other hand then turned around and signalled for us to get up. I helped Cuore up and Tay held the door open for us to leave. "He agreed to pay us 50K in cash every day for the ring. Since neither of us has identification documents to open a bank account yet." Mr Nova told us as we walked towards the car."I had a friend once who remained unregistered as a child. When she applied for her ID, she first had to get a birth certificate. I guess I could do the same, and claim I don't know who my parents are." I offered."Kid you are only 15, that won't give us access to a lot of things." He replied."I'll appl
