I have been walking for a while now and I can see my building from here. After drinking what ever the hell was in that bottle I waited a while nothing happened except that the rain stopped falling. I can't believe I actually drank it, who knows what could happen, it might have even been poison and I just trusted a girl who I only met today and disappeared. I must be going crazy. Anyway, I just can't let go of this sinking feeling that someone is following me. I turn around but find no one. I continue walking, I thank God that Avril has already packed out, I don't ever want to see her face ever again.

Since I decided not a take a taxi after I left under the umbrella, I had a long time to think, cry and wallow in my sadness. And through that time, I came to a conclusion I didn't really love Mike, Amy was right but I thought it was love besides he was my very first boyfriend. I decided to cry out all the pain and with that I believe I have severed all ties with them. I wasn't going to waste my time thinking about it, it was his loss.

Lost in my thoughts I suddenly hear footsteps behind me, but when I turn around I don't see anyone.
I start to panic so I pick up my pace, 'almost there' I say to myself. I practically race up the stairs, when I get to the door, I am shaking from fear but when I turn around I don't see anything or anyone. I managed to get the door open, I hurry inside and shut the door. I put on the lights and walk into my room, immediately I walked in, I sensed there was some one else in here. I don't know who or what it is so I calmly walk over to my bed, I am about to bring out my base ball bat from behind the bed when someone grabs me. I start screaming my lungs out as I struggle in the persons hold.

"Calm down, i'm not gonna hurt you" he says, that's what they all say. I don't listen to him, I keep on shouting so he clamps his hand over mouth, I keep on thrashing, struggling and screaming but my screams are muffled by his hand over my mouth

"Be quiet and stop struggling" he commands. It's as though my whole body seemed to disobey me and I go mute and stop struggling.

"Open your eyes" he says. I slowly open them, scared of what I might see but when they are open I am greeted with one of the most handsome men I have ever seen. I try to talk but I can't

"If I release you, promise not to scream" I nod and suddenly I can control my body once again. He lets go of me and takes a tentative step back. Fool!

"Thief! Rapist! Help! He..." He cuts off my screams with his hand again.

"Quiet!" He commands and Just like before I go mute. OhGod! What's happening? I don't want to die yet. I don't even know when I start crying.

He releases me but I can't even shout. He continues to stare at me and I also do the same, waiting for him to speak since I obviously can't, what did he do to me? Will I ever be able to speak again? The tears begin again and his features soften

"I'm sorry if I may have frightened you, I mean you no harm, I am but a messenger from Avalon. I am here to collect you" frightened me? More like scared me half to death, who am I kidding I'm still shaking. Collect me? When did I become an object?

"Why are you not replying?" He asked. If only I could talk, using my hands I pointed to my mouth reminding him that he had pressed the mute button on me

"Oh! forgive me I forgot. Please speak" I opened my mouth to test and it opened. I took in a deep breath of relief, I almost thanked him, can you imagine not being able to speak?

"Why are you here? No more importantly, how did you get into my house?" He was dressed normally, in a pair of dark black jeans with a black shirt. He was very tall, in fact he towered over me and I wasn't short. Since he refused to answer I proceeded to grab my phone

"I'm calling the police" I said to him to see if that would scare him but he merely looked at me like he didn't even understand the word.

"The police!? Do you know who that is?" At my question he shook his head. OK is it possible to live on this earth and not know who the police were? No, he was just pulling my legs by playing dump

Without wasting much time I grabbed my phone and dialed the police. On the third ring they picked.

"Hello, how may we help you?" The person asked

"Please I need.." Before I could finish the sentence, he hit the phone out of my hands with his index finger then quickly bent down to catch it. My hands remained by my ear in shock then he proceeded to raise again. Angry now, I dropped my hands and glared at him. I thought he said he didn't know who the police were?
I watched him as he gazed into the phone weirdly like he didn't understand it. I could still Hear the person on the other side of the line asking if I needed help or where I was?. I watched as He randomly tapped the screen and cut the call. When he saw that the person wasn't talking anymore he handed me back the phone.

"Good, now start packing" he says walking towards the window

"No, Get out of my house! I don't even know who you are."

"Ah! Forgive my manners, I am Chace Hilton" to say I am confused would be the understatement of the year. Who is this guy? OK we have established that he isn't here to hurt me because if he was he would have done so already.

"OK Chace, how the did you get into my house? I was sure I locked the door before leaving" He just shrugs

"That is of no importance, right now I need you to pack your things so we can leave this place" he says walking back to me.

"Leave? I am not going anywhere with you, the only person who will be leaving is you." i say crossing my hands over my chest. He sighs then runs his fingers through his hair. I took a moment to look at him, he was well built with a lean figure. He has dark brown hair styled in a messy manner but it fit him and side beards. Finishing the look with brown or hazel eyes, I can't really tell.

"Where did you say you came from again?" I asked tiredly as I sat down on my bed.

"I am from Avalon. I am here to take you back with me. You drank the elixir which means that you can now the supernatural that is why you can see me now. It also means that you have accepted our terms which is why I'm confused as to why you are reluctant to go with me." I didn't accept sh*t.

"Well sorry if I'm not cooperative but Amy didn't really explain anything to me" And this is why you shouldn't trust random people.

"Amy? Do you mean the Lot?" He asked looking at me expectantly for an answer but I don't know what a Lot is.

"I don't know, my point is I haven't agreed to anything. Please just give me time to get myself together, today has not been the best. first I meet miss crazy pants in the restroom then I find out my boyfriend is cheating on me with my best friend then Amy gives a drink that can possibly change my life then disappears. I get home now ready to rest only to meet you..." I finally breakdown tired of all the stupid drama.

"I'm sorry if we were inconsiderate, but I have been given the task to bring you back to Avalon, you are the lost princess. But for you to become the princess, you have to be crowned but first you must get married. For now I shall take my leave but we will be back." With that he disappears, literally.

Did that just happen?, My Crowning? Marriage? That guy is crazy.

I look at the clock and its almost 12 o'clock, today has been crazy. I don't even have the strength to go take a bath I just fall flat on my bed ready to fall into the world of dreams.

But my minds keeps wondering.

Who are these people? What do they want? If only I hadn't drank that elixir, maybe this wouldn't have happened. I mean who comes to your house in the night, saying he wants to take you to some imaginary kingdom where you are the supposed princess, he even said something about me getting married... They have definitely got the wrong girl, I am no princess, that I'm sure of.

I fall asleep with Chace Hilton's face and the thought of Avalon kingdom as the last thing I think about before I doze off.
