Princess?

Two days have passed since the indecent with Amber. Kirby hardly speaks to me anymore, and whenever I try to hang out with him, he's with Sam. My heart breaks every time I see him. He looks so lost. I walk into Army, and sit at the other end of the table from him. Amber wasn't in class, so I didn't speak or do anything during class. As I walk to lunch, tears slide down my face, my fifth day here and already there was so much drama and crap happening. I sit down at the lunch table I normally sit at with Drew, but he doesn't even glance at me. Everyone thinks I'm a whiny little whore. Maybe they are. Suddenly, several men in riot gear appear and search. Someone screams and a panic ensues. I'm knocked to the floor, and in all the commotion I'm unable to get up. The crowd thins, then disappears altogether, except for the men in riot gear. One spots me.
"I found her!" He calls. They advance on me just as Kirby races into the cafeteria.
"Hailea!" He shouts. As the nearest guy reaches me, I scream and squeeze my eyes shut. Nothing happens. I hesitantly open my eyes, and see the same wall of darkness as before, with Amber. I look over at Kirby. He was just as confused as I was. Taking a deep breath, I stand up, and raise my hands. Tendrils of darkness wrap around the men, and the headmaster appears moments later.
"Hailea! Kirby what is going on?" The headmaster asks.
"I don't know. I knew Hailea had lunch this hour and came running when I heard something going on. One attacked her and the wall from before went up. Then she stood up, and now this." Kirby explains hastily. The headmaster nods and goes over to the men.
"Who are you?" He asks.
"We are the Shadow Organization. We have come to retrieve the next heir to the throne." One spits.
"What makes you so sure it's this girl here?" The headmaster questions.
"She is the only girl Darkness Wielder in the world, and she's the subject of the prophesy. And, she's our current leader's daughter." Another guy laughs, and my concentration wavers. Then, my tendrils disappear. The headmaster holds up his hands but the men were already gone. I felt arms wrap around my waist and see one of the men. A rag is shoved into my face and I attempt to scream. The last thing I see is Kirby's face, full of despair, before everything goes black.

~Kirby's POV~

"Hailea!!" I shout as they all disappear. The only girl I've ever loved, gone. I collapse to my knees and tears slide down my face.
"We have to save her!" I shout at the headmaster as he walks over.
"I know Kirby. But all we can do now is wait for their next move. We don't know where they are, or what they plan to do." The headmaster says. Shakily I stand up, and race to find her friends. Melody and Serena were sitting in the garden, oblivious to what just happened. I walk over to them.
"Serena, Melody. Come with me." I tell them, then turn to find Eddie, Drew and Philip already there.
"What's this about Kirby?" Philip asks.
"Hailea was taken, and we have to rescue her." I explain.
"But how?" Drew asks.
"The prophesy says she needs to bond with the other five. I believe that means the other five elements. All of you guys are a part of the prophesy too now. We can let the Shadow Organization take over and destroy everyone." I look at them, and Amber appears.
"Whatever. It's all obviously an act so Hailea can get more attention. She's a stupid ugly attention whore." She sneers. I shoot a blast if Darkness at her. She screams.
"When I'm Chancellor, you Darkness Wielders will cease to exist." Amber hisses and storms off. I look at Philip.
"She wasn't always this bad....but that's not the point. How can we save Hailea?" He asks with genuine concern in his eyes. I know he's Hailea's soulmate, and that he could make her happy, but I still didn't like him.
"Kirby, we found the Shadow Organization's hideout." The headmaster says as he walks up.
"Perfect." I reply, then our group walks to the war planning room. We're gonna save you Hailea, no matter what.

~Hailea's POV~

I sit in the lavish bedroom and look out the window. They didn't put me in a cell, they put me in a gorgeous room, with barred windows and guards at the door 24/7. A maid walks in a moment later.
"You need to get ready to meet with our leader." She states. I shrug. I'm not gonna do anything these bastards tell me to. They kidnap me, and restrict me from doing anything, just so I can be their leader. I can't even control my own damn powers! The maid goes to my wardrobe and brings out a long, flowing black dress with purple accents. She lays it beside me.
"Put it on. You will not meet Him in the garbage you are wearing." She glares at my school uniform. I cross my arms over my chest.
"No." I simply reply. Her face reddens like a cherry, and I could tell I was making her angry.
"Well then you will have no food for a week." She hisses. My face pales. But....food. My second love. I sigh inwardly and change into the dress. Then I remembered why I hate skirts and dresses. Glancing sorrowfully at my skinny jeans, the maid grabs my arm and drags me to a throne room. I had to admit it was astounding.
Chandeliers that had candles with purple flames, and amethysts and onyx everywhere. The swords of the guards were black, and in between two guards, was a beautiful elvish looking tiara, with a green gemstone. The maid and I reach the other end of the room, where there was a man sitting on an onyx throne.
"Sir, I present to you, Hailea Fairfield." The maid announces, then bows and leaves. The man stands up and walks over to me.
"Ah, Hailea. The only girl Darkness Wielder in the world. And my daughter." He breathes, then he must notice the look on my face, because he chuckles.
"I forget. You do not know me. I am your biological father. When you were born, your....mother," he says the word with disdain, "realized you would be a Darkness Wielder, so she took you away, to live among the human peasants. But it would only be a matter of time before I found you dear. And I did, with the help of a recruit." He smiles and snaps his fingers. A figure appear at the edge of my vision, and it turn to look.
"Jeremiah?" I gasp. My father chuckles and waves the guards with the tiara over.
"Accept your place here as princess, and you can be happy. No bullies, all the food you want. We can even bring your friends here." He says to me. Would it really be so bad? I can work up my powers until I can kill them, then go be happy in my own life. I nod, and the tiara is placed on my head. Trumpets blare, and my father uses his powers to make his voice louder with more power.
"Members of the Shadow Organization. May I announce and present your new princess, Princess Hailea!" He calls, and there are cheers from all over the castle.
