Chapter 9 Little Miss Principessa Ilaria blah blah blah blah NovaKean
I slunk through the shadows trying to creep back to my room. I stuck to the walls hoping to get in with no one seeing me.
But what do yea know my luck came a knocking.
"Casey! Guys I found her!" Megan screamed. Well thank you stupid life now everyone, even the dead knows where I am now. Hell I bet that the Queen of England knows I'm standing here now with as loud as Megan is screaming at the team.
Susan and Kat of course are the first responders to the scene of the crime.
Kat leaps at me first "Where in Hades name where you! Do you know how long we've been searching for you! We we're about to call the national guard in! You do not, repeat do not just go MIA on us like that! "
Susan looked at me and shrugged smiling evilly. "so why were you sneaking back in at such an early hour? Hmmm.... "
Sometimes I hate my friends.
"Yea we were wondering that ourselves? So where were you? "
I look up to see, whoopee yay me. The entire freakin Team standing in front of me.
So do I tell them the truth? That I woke up screaming from night terrors about psychos that want me. That those exact lunnies found my number and are probably going to try and get me again. That I'd been tortured by him. The boy with red and gold eyes. Now that I think about it I should tell them.
Said no one ever....
"I went out to watch the sun rise."
Not technically a lie, I mean I did watch it rise.
I watched every one relax except Susan, Kat, and surprisingly Dick, and Wally.
"Okay Megan, you and Connor can go back to cooking breakfast now. " Kaldur told them "I think I'll go for a swim."
I watch those three walk away, I felt all of my energy fade away. I yawned, no way was I going to try to sleep not with the dream not yet. So of course I head to the TV, but not before I heard my name being whispered. I froze.
"She's lying, something's wrong."
Damn you Grayson of course you would notice, I mean you know me so well, come on I only met you like what less than a week ago. Note my sarcasm.
Susan piped up "ya she looks like she didn't sleep at all."
"Maybe..." Wally trailed off
"she didn't look alright, her eyes they looked, I don't know. Just not right." I could hear the frown in Kat's voice.
Wow Kat you could write a book, but do you think you could be a mite more specific
"Something's wrong. She's keeping something from us." Dick said
I peeked around the cornor, they were all huddled up whispering.
"Please she's a spy. She basically the spy of course she has secrets, her secrets have secrets." Susan huffed.
Oh Susan I didn't know you thought so highly of me.
"So I vote we try to find out what's wrong, I'll go first." Wally smirked
"Oh no you don't lover boy we'll all talk to her." Kat rolled her eyes. Heck so did I, and he can't even see me.
"I don't know what your talking about?" Wally replied cheekily.
Robin just laughed at him "Your about as subtle as a train wreak ya know!"
I realized about to late they were coming around the cornor. I looked around frantically, no where to hide, if I ran now I be spotted. I looked up and grinned.
∅Time Skip∅
I sat on the couch watching Brian O'Connor racing backwards shouting at Roman. When they walked in.
I looked up innocently as if I didn't know that they just spent the last 2 minutes talking about me in the hallway.
Now you all might remember I was in the hallway spying on them. Then they turned the cornor, and I was caught. Right.
Wrong. I did not get caught. No at the last second I leaped up and ripped the ventilation shaft's cover off and dove in. Then I slithered forward as a Coach Whip beating them all to the couch, though the vents. Then with seconds to spare I flipped on Fast and Furious 2, and tried to look comfortable, and innocent.
I feel a familiar woosh of air, and suddenly the speedster is sitting with his arm around me. He's lucky I'm too tired to shove him on the floor.
Susan just sighs like she can't put up with this anymore. Kat smirks probably happy Wally stopped flirting with her, and Dick looks really stiff. Like rod up his shirt uncomfortable, wonder what's wrong.
I open my mouth ready to defend myself against their questions when...
Team report to me for mission briefing.
Batman's voice fills the Cave. I shove Wally to the floor ready for some action. See I knew I'd shove him to the ground sooner or later.
We all line up ready for the briefing. All my tiredness had just been replaced by adrenaline. First team mission this is gonna be lit. Is lit still in? Oh well it felt amazing, awesome, a third word that starts with A.
Batman spoke breaking my train of thought.
"This is Principessa Ilaria Eleanora ludovica Benedetta NovaKean of Montenegro."
A picture of a girl around my age poped up on screen she had shoulder length brown hair, freckles, and big hazel eyes.
"In a days time she will be betrothed to the prince of Cyprus. Their union will help unite the counties, however the country of Macedonia will do anything for that not to happen. That includes hiring members of the league of assassins to kidnap, or kill the Principessa. Your job is to protect her until the ceremony. You will be briefed more on the bio ship. "
Kaldur turned around to us serious now. "suit up team we leave in 5."
I got dressed and strapped on my weapons. Miss Martion was the only other one ready in the bio ship. But soon everyone else started to flood in until finally Kid Flash ran in making everyone present.
"aww man I knew I'd be last!" he complained.
Aqualad started to explain the plan as we began our flight across the pond.
∅3 hours later∅
We landed. I am officially in Montenegro. It is so quaint. Like right out of a story book. We landed right in the court yard walking straight towards a huse castle, with turrets, and flags, gardens, paintings, really fancy rich people. I mean it was so stereotypical for a sec I thought I was on a hidden camera show.
We were met by captain of the royal guard said his name was Ricardo, or Riccio. Something like that.
He led us to a door flanked by 6 guards. He said that the rulers of Montenegro would meet with is shortly, but for us to meet with the esteemed Principessa first.
We walked in the room to be met with a huge blue puff ball.
"oh who are you! You must be my protecters, thank you so much for coming." she turned to Ricardo or Ricco, "thank you Captain you may go tell Mother and Father they are here." she spoke with a faint accent.
As soon as he was gone she slumped down in a chair.
"Ok now that he's gone I don't have to be so princessy. Let me introduce myself. Hi you can call me Ellie. I'm a Hufflepuff, I was born in March, I'm 14, and I'm still working on my English. My favorite color is yellow, and I love wildcats! So yea that's the short version of me." I looked at this girl, this blue whirlwind, at least she's not snobby, I though. It got quiet after that.
I took the silence to look around the room it had rosebushes indoors, and marbel and granite steps, and balcony over looking the bay, and gardens. Plus comfy looking furniture, a bed, a closet and bathroom. It was gorgeous.
Megan had started to talk to Ellie, and they had seemed to hit it off the others were scouting the room. With nothing to do I got lost in my thoughts, my mind kept seeing those amber eyes. Amber with red swirling specs.
Someone touched my shoulder startling me from my thoughts I looked up into a mask, and messy black hair.
"You okay?" Robin asked worried.
I swallowed and lied, "Yes just thinking about the assassins next move." I told him.
He didn't believe me entirely I could tell. But the doors opened again so I didn't have time to sorry.
Two people walked in a man and a woman flanked by the captain. They had on jewels, and ballroom attire.
"Ilaria come the court is waiting for you, now that the protecters are here we can go and meet the Family of Cyprus." the man said.
"Okay Father I'm ready."
And that was all suddenly we were all walking down a brightly lit hallway with paintings, and flowers. This place really is a castle.
The doors in front of us swung open, revealing. The entire royal court of Montenegro, and Cyprus.
"Zdravo kako si?" a man looking at us asked. Now everyone was looking us. And the team had no clue what he had said.
"Dobro hvahla, ah vee."I told him politely. Everyone was surprised, except well Crossbow, and Kitty.
"Zao mi je, umijem da pricam Crnogorski." I pointed to my teammates.
And then like magic the entire court switched to English. The team huddled close to me.
"how do you know their language?" Aqualad asked me.
"its part of my powers."
"Wait really that's so cool!" Miss M squealed.
"yea there pretty-" I stopped trailing off.
Whipping around to the Principessa. I dreamed at her. "get down theres a bomb!"
Right as the wall behind her exploded in to rubble. Slinging me to the ground.
I looked up to see two faces, I knew them. This was not good they could have sent thousands of different assassins, and they chose the ones I know, the ones I've been trying to avoid!
I look up into a pair of red and gold eyes. Except this time its not a dream.
