"What's tomorrow?" Rex asked, not hiding a little excitement.
"School of course dummy" she laughed.
What a let down that was!! Rex thought to himself, he had let his imagination run wild and had forgotten that tomorrow was still Monday, which meant back to school he went.
Back to another week of torture he sighed, for that was what awaited him each week of school.
Just like at home it seemed that Rex had the same routine at school. Everyday was classes, lunch by himself, classes, home, a little homework and then video games.
So when Monday came around, true enough his routine kicked in, he arrived at school, but instead of Dean waiting for him to give him his morning dish of what Dean called 'lessons in learning your place' no one was there to greet him.
"Well that's odd" Rex said stowing his bicycle in his usual spot away from everyone else. Maybe he is waiting for me inside he pondered.
Walking up the stairs and in through the door, he half expected Dean to jump out and grab him, but once again, he was not there. Something is going on here he thought.
Walking to his locker he noticed everything else was the same, people would see him come and start to whisper amounts themselves as usual, except this time people moved away from him.
Once at his locker, he started stowing his things when he asked the only person he knew would talk to him, Calvin, one of the school geeks who also received daily bullying.
"Calvin, people are weirder than usual today, what's going on?" Rex whispered, still seeing people staring and talking amongst themselves.
"There is a rumour going around that you went completely psycho at Dean and his friends at the river. Something about your grandmother using voodoo or something to help you, that part is mere speculation, seeing as science doesn't support 'magic and voodoo'" said Calvin, pushing his glasses up his nose before getting his books and leaving.
Great, not only because of my parents but now this, at least people were only talking, which he could ignore.
So his week continued quite weirdly to usual, people just stared and whispered, no one tried to say anything or beat him up, so he just went to his classes, sat by himself at the back, ate lunch down by the fence under the same tree, finished his end of day classes and went home.
Thank god it's Friday Rex thought, getting dressed for school on his last day, he was actually quite happy, for a whole week he didn't have to repair broken buttons, torn sleeves or scrub one single stain off from getting pushed into the dirt. "I could get used to this" Rex grinned.
Once again, arrived at the bike racks, stowed his bike, no 'welcome back' greeting again, walked into school, same thing as every other day, whispering.
Everything went as normal through first sets of classes, grabbed his lunch and sat down on his bench under the tree near the fence. This actually wasn't too bad being left alone for once he thought, would make the last few months of school bearable.
"Hello" came a voice from nowhere bringing Rex back from his thoughts. "What in the world was that" he stammered jumping up and whipping his head around expecting someone to jump on him behind.
Well when his eyes saw who had greeted him, his mouth dropped open.
"Would you mind if I sat here? It's my first day and I find big groups of people intimidating"
The voice cane from the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. "Umm...yeah...sure..." he stammered, rubbing his eyes to make sure he hadn't fallen asleep and this was a dream. When he realised it wasn't, he looked around to make sure this wasn't a setup from any of his usual
bullies.
"I'm Vanessa" she said, holding her hand out smiling. No one had ever asked to sit with him, let alone a girl!! And a girl who looked like she had fallen from the heavens!!
"I'm Rex" he said wiping the sweat from his hands before shaking her outstretched hand, Vanessa had made him extremely nervous with this surprise meeting.
"Nice to meet you" she said.
What a smile, Rex thought, she could light up a dark room with that, glancing over at her he also thought she had perfect skin, beautiful brown curly hair the just touched the top of her shoulders and incredible blue eyes.
"Are you going to eat or just stare at it?" Vanessa said chuckling at Rex's reaction.
"Of course, of course" he replied, sitting and starting his sandwich.
Wow has my life taken one hell of a change Rex said to himself, this can't be real.

“How did you….” Nessa trailed off. Rex and Nessa knew what had happened to Pilk and were astonished she was here and in good shape.“Survive after you snapped my neck?” Pilk finished Nessa’s sentence with an evil grin, “Trade secret, may even tell you before I repay the favour back to you.”“Once more, leave us the boy and that girl and you two can leave” said one of the men, talking to Lizz and Charr.“You want him, must go past me” said Charr tapping his axe on his shoulder with a grin.Lizz added in shortly after, “And me too.”Rex looked at his friends and gave them a smile and respectful head nod at their statements, he couldn’t be happier that his friends were willing to fight with him until the end.“W

“Who are you and why would you want to help us?” Lizz asked eyeing her suspiciously.“My name is Nessa. I’ve been asking myself the same question” Nessa said with a smirk. That comment confused Lizz and Charr a little.“Do you know Rex?” Lizz asked.“Yes I do” Nessa replied nodding. When she said that she noticed Lizz frown a little. Was this girl his lover? She thought to herself, she reacted to her intrusion like Nessa would defending him if he was hers, another question that needed answering. She then realised that she was regarding Rex as hers, silly thoughts about him again she thought. “What or who has him unable to fight his way out? I know he is more than capable of taking on those 3 plus us and still probably win.”“How you know how Rex fight?” Charr asked stepping cl

“What the bloody hell does that mean?” Nessa asked. It was way too early in the morning for her riddles.“Typical good-mannered conversation” Al’ik said with a smirk, “I believe it means you are to help someone change, how would I know? Its your fate, not mine. I’m a healer, not a fortune teller.”“Then how did you see my fate?” Nessa asked.“I’m not sure, that’s why I debated as to tell you or not. It seemed quite serious to me, so I decided I would pass it on. It is now for you to decode what it is supposed to mean.” Al’ik replied, “Now eat this and you are good enough to be on your way.”Nessa nodded, sat down and took the food she was given. She hated riddles and was never good at them so she had no idea what, “show an outwards sign of an inwa

“Uurgh” was the only sound Rex could muster as he forced his eyes open. He had an intense headache from being hit on the head and was quite sure that wet feeling behind his head was blood. He could hear creaking noises before his eyes started to focus again, I am moving, he could feel the jolts. Blinking a few times to help clear his vision he sat his head up, he felt his hands and feet were bound tightly so he could not get up by himself. He could see 2 people to his front sitting facing forward and looking to his sides he saw wooden upright boards, he must have been in the back of a wagon.“Morning sunshine” came a voice from his feet area. Turning his head a little too quickly Rex felt his vision blur a little once more, don’t do that again he said to himself. Sitting at his feet was the woman from the vegetable stall. She was watching him with an evil smile on his face. She hopped up grabbed Rex’s shoulders and propped him up

Rex jumped up the moment the memories matched about who the person was. He quickly half dried himself, threw on some of the clothes that were put out for him and went in the direction he saw the woman walking. Not having a clear heading, he wandered aimlessly for a while looking into the faces of the maids he saw. Rounding a corner, he ran into Stug who was giving out orders to a man wearing a cloak, getting the man moving he looked back at Rex, eyed him up and down and saw him still half wet and asked hurriedly, “Is everything ok prince?”“Yes, one of the people you’re looking for is here! I saw her walk past my room” Rex said.“Really! They have the nerve to try and sneak back in, I will sort th

Once the man had burst out of the keep he came to a halt in front of the 3 companions, still ranting about dealing out the death penalty for the murder of his brother.“Who the f**k are you 3?” he yelled in their faces. They could see the vein popping from his neck, Lizz thought they were going to die.“These are the 3 accused of Dreg’s murder” replied a guard who was near them. This made the red-faced man leer at them, if looks could kill they would have all died by now.“I hereby sentence you 3 to death!!” he screamed pointing at them.
