November, 2011

  Mr. Xander sat at his desk on his ptop while Collin and his cssmates watched an old Western movie: The Magnificent Seven. He wore bck pid pants, a white short-sleeve church shirt, white Converse sneakers, a anime neckchain, wristbands, and a purple bzer with his school crest . Even though the movie wasn't boring Collin's mind was on something else.

  After a few days his boyfriend agreed and now they were officially in a Polyamorous retionship with Helena. Nothing really changed. But he hasn't told his family yet because he knew how his parents would react. Collin's mom and dad would come up with lots of conspiracies. This wasn't his girlfriend's fault and yeah, he could be walking into a trap. Casper probably knew that Helena liked Collin and saw this happening in the future with a wicked smile. For that blue devil its a win-win. Right now, their families weren't on the best terms and maybe someday his family could forgive Casper for Helena's sake.

  3 hours ter, Collin was at home as Idris ripped apart a sock puppet filled with feathers. That was the third one he made and in his hands was the Tamer's Codex. He was trying to teach Idris how to behave as the Caider ran towards him pyfully with a colr around its neck. There was lots of information in this book about mythical creatures that could be useful. When he was hanging out with his friends that night he saw something odd about the animal they almost crashed into. Collin's TrueSight wasn't strong enough, but Helena could tell it was a mythical bird.

  After reading the Tamer's Codex he spoke. "Bad, don't kill. Only make cocoons outside."

  Idris whined after being scowled. Besides the dead animals Collin had to bury his family noticed thick webs around the house. After vacuuming the feathers which took 10 minutes he went downstairs and into the kitchen with Idris. Collin opened the pantry and yanked out a blue bag of pet food that he got from the Wild Hunt Emporium. It was a bag of minced birds, he also bought a bag of minced rodents. Once he dumped the food into the animal bowl Idris devoured it. A few minutes ter, his dad walked into the kitchen and yawned. Collin felt awkward as he scrolled through his social media, his post of Idris got 105 likes. When should he tell them the truth? He can't hide these secrets forever.

  "Pest control is coming by soon to spray the house," Collin's dad said as he opened the fridge.

  Collin frowned as he petted Idris. "Okay."

  After feeding Idris he took the Caider to his room. If pest control was coming over this wasn't good, since Idris was half spider he might get sick from the fumes. Collin had to take him somewhere safe. 15 minutes ter, he arrived at Helena's mansion. Even thought he texted his girlfriend she wasn't responding. Maybe she was busy? Collin had on jeans, a bck and pink striped shirt with three heart-shaped life points, Nike sneakers, a bucket hat with emblems, fingerless gloves, and a backpack with Idris's stuff.

  In his arms Idris yawned as he walked over to the flowerbed. There were four rocks with a single letter as Collin pressed each one down in a pattern, after that a glowing key popped outta the ground. When he walked inside it was super quiet as he went upstairs and into the portal. Even though Collin visited the castle many times he still felt timid. As he walked down the hallway he was greeted by the maids and guards. Collin wasn't in a hurry as he pulled up his stats.

  After looking at his points he scanned the rest of his stats and came to a decision. "30 points for strength, 30 points for agility & speed, 30 points for endurance, 30 points for intelligence, 30 points for TrueSight, 30 points for Healing, and 20 points for Telekinesis."

  Ding. [ Are you sure? ]

  "Yes," Collin confirmed.

  His body shimmered with energy as his heart and brain evolved. Whenever he levels-up his perception becomes more spiritual. Before it was all about strategy and now its intuition.

  "Do you think the rumors about them are true?" someone whispered.

  Collin gnced at the two maids who were gossiping over a magazine. "Scuse me, do you know where Helena is?"

  They both jumped as one of them spoke. "Oh, Sir Collin! I think the princess is in the alchemy chamber which is upstairs."

  "I can escort you," the other maid said as she shoved the magazine into the other maid's arms.

  He followed the maid through the castle as they stopped at an intricate door with Alchemy Chamber written in white and bck letters.

  "Sir Collin...if you need anything just let us know," the maid bowed before turning away.

  Collin opened the door and went inside. The room looked like a medieval science b as Helena stood infront of a table. She wore shorts and an oversized graphic-t. Also, her wings, horns, and tail were out. It looked like his girlfriend was brewing something as Otto thumped the ground and hopped over to him. Before he could say anything Idris growled and Otto changed from a bunny into an anaconda and hissed back.

  The noise made Helena turn around and when she saw him she smiled.

  "I tried texting and calling you," Collin expined.

  "Sorry," Helena sighed and ran a hand through her ptinum blonde hair. "I was making an herbal potion."

  He walked over and saw test tubes, fancy utensils, weird ingredients, a cauldron under a portable stove, and a tea set. "Isn't that a Rainbow Lotus?"

  "Yup," Collin's girlfriend admitted. "It's a key ingredient used in medicine, some of the guards are sick. Your turn."

  "Can I keep Idris here for the night?" Collin asked. "My house is being sprayed and I don't want him getting sick."

  Helena smirked. "Sure, but we'll have to keep them separated. We don't want a bloodbath."

  "Thanks," he frowned and kissed Helena on the cheek. "I've been trying to teach him how to be nice."

  After giving the hot crimson tea to the four sick guards they took the carriage into town. Helena had on baggy cargo pants, a magical girl crop-top, Nike sneakers, a bomber jacket, X and O earrings, a birthstone neckce, chrome ring, and a bucket hat. While in the carriage Helena straddled Collin's p and roughly kissed him. This escated quickly and he was just minding his business. His girlfriend grinded on him as their tongues meshed together, both arms were wrapped around her waist. All of a sudden the carriage stopped and their kiss was broken as Helena rolled off Collin. His girlfriend whispered something in his ear and he blushed.

  The carriage door opened as the guard announced. "We're here your highness."

  Collin and Helena sat inside a cottage as his girlfriend poured crimson tea in a cup. Sitting across from them was Captain Irving and his wife, Suran. Idris was with the guards and he was still pretty dazed as the Captain took the tea. He remember Captain Irving talking about his family whenever they had a break.

  "This should help with your sickness," his girlfriend expined. "For a week drink this every night before you rest."

  Suran nodded. "Thank you for always being so kind, Princess Helena."

  "I hope you're still practicing," Captain Irving told Collin as he coughed.

  Collin smiled. "I am, just not today because I have a football game."

  Just then something bounced down the stairs as they heard footsteps. It was a 7 year-old boy and a 7 year-old girl as a quaker ball rolled across the floor.

  "You troublemakers," Mrs. Suran stood up with her hands on her hips. "What did I say? No pying ball in the house."

  "Sorry," they both said with their heads down.

  "Good," the Captain grinned at his kids. "Axel and Amari, come meet our guests. Princess Helena and Collin the Maverick."

  5 minutes ter, Collin and the kids were kicking the ball outside with Idris. This area of the kingdom wasn't shabby as he kicked the ball to Amari and than Axel. He got to know most of the guards situations like Sparky being an orphan. The elf was found and trained by Captain Irving, no wonder he acts smug all the time. But recently Sparky got humbled by Helena. After beating a few of them in a fight Collin earned some street cred and trust.

  "Dad said you fought a bunch of ghouls!" Axel grinned.

  Collin kicked the ball from foot to foot as he spoke. "Yeah, that was my first mission as Captain."

  "So cool! Dad says being in the royal guard is dangerous," Amari pouted.

  "Your dad is right," he admitted as he kicked the quaker ball to Amari. "What do you guys wanna do when you grow up?"

  "Join the circus!" they cheered as Idris tackled the ball.

  "Awesome," Collin said.

  "Hey, are the rumors true?" Amari asked.

  "What rumors?" he crouched down and petted Idris.

  Amari kicked the quaker ball to Axel. "That your dating Princess Helena."

  Collin was shocked as he spoke. "Where ya hear that?"

  "It's all over town," Amari shrugged. "So, is it true?"

  Axel suddenly asked. "Can we see your cool powers?"

  When they finally left Captain Irving's house he expined the situation to his girlfriend. "I think the kingdom knows we're dating."

  Helena showed her fangs. "Impossible, I never told anyone."

  "Me neither," Collin crossed his arms.

  She looked out the window and told the driver to stop the carriage. They both hopped out and walked towards the water fountain where this paperboy was, he had antlers, fangs, and cws. After giving the boy 10 gold coins Helena was given a magazine with them on the cover. This photo was taken a few days ago when they went to that cafe. Scandalous was written in blue and red letters on top with negative and positive captions all around. Collin gnced at his girlfriend and saw her smiling as she held his arm. All of a sudden, several pop-up windows appeared.

  Later that night, Collin ran across the field and dove for the end zone. After he rolled he sprung back up and smmed the football on the ground. The crowd cheered as Collin did his signature dance. When he heard the whistle he jogged back to his team and gave Wyatt a high-five. They were up against Sydney Rufus Highschool and this team is known to be brutal.

  "Wishbone is next," Collin expined as they got into formation. "Blue 82, blue 82, hut, hut, hike!"

  Everybody scrambled as he faked it to Wyatt and sprinted down the field with the ball, these jerks were targeting him all night. He felt something dangerous as two pyers rushed at him. Did they know he had the ball or did they just want him ? Collin gazed around and threw the football as both pyers tackled him. With his healing ability this shouldn't bother him, but getting hit repeatedly is the problem. Maybe his endurance needed to be higher? Collin id on the ground with a numb arm and a throbbing leg.

  There was a whistle. "Another touchdown for Topher Gibbs Academy but it looks like their QB is out of commission!"

  Hero came over and helped him up. "You okay, man?"

  "I just need a breather," Collin spat out his mouth piece. "Focus on defense." He sat on the bench and took off his helmet with a grunt. Someone handed him a sports drink as he chugged it, they were leading by 10 points now.

  "Nice hustle, Rex!" Coach Graham shouted.
