Chapter 7: Grian's Past
Grian woke up looking in his room he shared with his siblings Pearl and Jimmy. Of course Martyn and Lizzie are their siblings but they get their own room as they are the oldest. But whatever. The Watcher Prince(Pause: Oooooh~ Watcher huh?) got up from his bed and started to get dressed. He puts on his ruffled white shirt, purple suit, and black pants. He looked at himself in the mirror and sighs. Before putting on his purple cape. He was about to put his crown before-
"Are you really going to wear your crown while your hair is a mess?" Pearl said with a chuckle. Grian blushed in embarrassment and grumbled. "Come here you dummy" Pearl said with a playful tone and he went over to Pearl. She started to brush her brother's messy hair. "Geez, what have you done to your hair?" Pearl asked. "Nothing!" Grian whined and groaned in pain. "If you didn't have knots this wouldn't hurt" Pearl said.
After some time Pearl finished brushing his hair. "Done?" Grian asked and the Watcher Princess nodded. She went to change into her outfit. "Good" Grian said and waited for her to finish changing. He saw Jimmy woke up. "Go change" Grian said and the Listener Prince groaned before he left to go change. The three went downstairs and heard their parents yelling. "Seriously Elizabeth! You are going to get married to him whether you like it or not!" Their father yelled at the Listener Princess. "But father, I can't marry him. He's corrupt!" Lizzie said back not wanting this arranged marriage. "Enough Elizabeth! You will marry Prince Ren! And you won't disagree anymore!" Their mother yelled.
The Listener Prince sees the three and pulls them away. "Pearl take Jimmy and Grian to the dinning room" Martyn said and Pearl nods. "Wait, why?!" Grian protested. "Come guys lets go eat" Pearl said and took the two to the kitchen. He could faintly hear more yelling getting louder. Once the three got to the kitchen, they sat down and started eating. Which is a relief since their parents usually make them go days without eating. Since it's not proper to eat so much as princesses and princes. Sometimes they hit them if they were out of line and were disrespecting them.

It was night time now and the Watcher Prince was still awake. Pearl was too but he didn't know what the hell she was doing. He was reading his book before he thought about stuff. "Sam..." Grian mumbled, Prince Sam his "friend". Ever since Taurtis died, he's been calling him Taurtis. "I'm Grian, right?" Grian mumbled before going over to the long mirror. "I'm Grian...I'm not Taurtis" Grian said to himself. "So why do I keep letting Sam call me Taurtis and not stopping him?" Grian asked himself.
He let out a sigh before he walked over to Pearl's side of her room since the three of them share a room. They have a bit of walls to separate from each other so they have a bit of privacy. "Pearlie?" Grian called for the Watcher Princess. "Yeah Griba?" Pearl asked, her voice sounded shaky. "I just wanted to say goodnight" Grian said quietly. "Yeah goodnight" Pearl said and there was some shuffling of opening drawers. He nodded despite Pearl not being able to see it and went to his side of the room.

It had been a few months and it was the same old yelling, hitting, and making them go without food for a few days. Grian was in the gardens trying to get away from his parents at least until dinner arrived. The Watcher Prince looked at his purple Watcher wings and thought of doing something that his parents would immediately hate. He closes his eyes and his purple wings soon become beautiful and colorful parrot wings.
His eyes sparkled at his newfound wings. "Woah" Grian said to himself and flapped his wings. "That's so cool!" Grian said cheerfully and thought of something else. He made his wings back purple. He went back inside his castle and went to his room. The Watcher prince looked through his clothing and found the perfect outfit to wear. He changed into the clothes that made him look like a normal person from the kingdom. He closed his eyes and his wings were back to the parrot wings.
Grian went to the balcony and took a deep breath. "Okay G, just like Martyn taught you. Flap your wings slowly" Grian mumbled and flapped his wings slowly. He started to get lifted off the ground. The Watcher- No. The parrot avian started to chuckle and looked in the direction of the village. "You got this" Grian said and started to fly to the village. "I'm doing it!" Grian said happily. After some time he landed in the village. The one place he was never allowed at.
The parrot avian smiled and started to look around the village. He started to walk around the village and noticed how happy everyone was. Children were laughing and playing, parents were watching, sellers were at their market stands. Grian smiled and sat down at this bench. He listened to the noises, his parents would absolutely hate this. The heard footsteps behind him but he ignored them thinking he was just imagining it.
The parrot avian felt something over his mouth and he started to wiggling out of the random grip but eventually his eyes closed. The next time he woke up, he was in a cage and saw pirates. 'Oh no...' Grian thought. He could hear the pirates talking and debated how much gold he is worth. 'Come on there's got to be some way to escape!' Grian thought and looked around to find a way to escape. Nothing... Absolutely no way to escape this cage. He sighed and put his head down. He's trapped, with absolutely no way to escape. Sure he could've used his Watcher powers but his hands were gloved up so he couldn't use his powers. Especially since they were also roped together.
