Edrik and I make it back through the portal and this time I actually land on my feet. I still have to keep my eyes closed until the nausea passes but it has gotten a little easier. There is no one waiting on us this trip but I remember I still have my phone in my bag. I bring it out and try to call Shelby first. It goes straight to voicemail. I try Colton next. He answers on the first ring.

“Franchesca?”

“Colton! Please tell me you have heard from Shelby.”

“I’ve been trying to call her since I got back in town three days ago. I have stopped by your dorm room twice and she didn’t answer the door.”

I knew something was wrong.

“Colton, I’m at the park thirty miles east of town. Do you think you can come get me?”

“Of course I can. I’m leaving right now.”

I began to walk back and forth, up and down the road. Edrik tries to talk to me but I just can’t stand still. My only focus right now is getting back to the university and finding my best friend.

Twenty minutes later, Colton pulls up in his older model, blue Ford pick up and Edrik and I climb in. Colton gives me a hug and a strange look.

“Franchesca, what happened to your eyes? Did they change colors?”

My eyes? I turn to look at Edrik and notice for the first time his eyes are back to lavender.

“Edrik, the amulet does not work here.”

“Amulet? What are you talking about Franchesca and who is he?” Colton is starting to sound annoyed now.

“I’m sorry, Colton. Edrik, this is Colton my other best friend. Colton, this is Edrik my...”

“Boyfriend”, Edrik cuts in.

Boyfriend?

“The eye color is a long story but I will try to explain as much as I can on the way there. Just please, start driving.”

On our way back to the university I attempt to explain everything to Colton. “My name is Franchesca but I am not from the Netherlands. I am the Fey Princess from the Light Fey Kingdom. My parents are the King and Queen and Edrik is actually a Knight.”

“Also the boyfriend,” Edrik mutters. I look at him and sigh.

“Anyways, our Kingdoms are under attack from the Renegade Resistance. I am worried that they went after Shelby to get to me.”

“Why were you here? If you are a Princess in another realm, why come here at all?”

“This is where my life becomes a Jerry Springer episode. I am betrothed to Winston, the Dark Fey Prince. It is an arranged marriage. My ex-best friend, Bianca, got a little too close to him at my eighteenth birthday, plus he spent years disrespecting me and flaunting every bimbo he could find in my face. I had enough. I wanted to live a life of my choosing, not one that had been chosen for me. So, my nanny Gretchen helped me get here and put me in touch with her brother Gerald Jones.”

“Professor Jones is a Fey?”

“Yes, Professor Jones is a Fey, but you must keep that to yourself.
