LAUREN'S POINT OF VIEW

"Lauren! You're here!" Travis exclaimed as the bodyguards hold both of my arms, walking towards Travis.

"Travis! We were worried sick about you." I said then the bodyguards pushed me towards Travis.

"I heard that you two were siblings, might as well we would put you two together." The first bodyguard said as the second bodyguard holds the door then immediately closed it and locked it from outside.

"Travis, I miss you!" I said as I started tearing up and we hugged.

"I miss you too! B-But what are you doing here? Oh, and are you here alone?" He asked as he wiped my tears.

"U-Uhh, actually they kidnapped us, Romeo, Juliet and I." I sighed then we released from hugging.

"Romeo and Juliet are here?!" He asked as he smiled.

"Y-Yes, but I don't know if we should see them right now." I replied.

"Why not?" He asked in confusion.

"I-I don't know, but I do have a feeling that something happened to them two days ago." I replied as I looked up at him.

"What do you mean? What happened two days ago?" He worriedly asked then I sighed.

"After Juliet's birthday celebration with Romeo and I, they decided to went back home. Well apparently, I said the same thing but I lied. I followed them to Juliet's house, I know it's a wrong thing to do but it seems like there is something off with Juliet, and Romeo was there to comfort her. I should've been in there, but I had no choice but to eavesdropped them instead." I said to Travis.

"Romeo a-asked if its true that Juliet l-liked him ever since, she replied yes but it was before. She realized her feelings for you, and that's when her feelings for Romeo faded away. She even stated that she started liking him back when they first met in the old library in this city and the next time she finally met him again is seven months ago, but something confusing happened. Romeo just sat there beside her, while thinking something in his mind." I continued with a sigh as Travis looked down.

"He asked her if she still likes her, w-well luckily she said that she is now in love with you. But it seems like he felt heartbroken that he told her that he would leave her alone, like I've or we've known Romeo for years now and we know how he gets heartbroken easily. Then, things happened too fast. The next thing I know is that it started raining and foggy, because I couldn't see anything and at the same time worried sick about them both, I followed them with Juliet's voice. She kept calling Romeo, but it seems like he was too far away. A vehicle suddenly appeared out of nowhere, right behind Juliet and then Romeo saved her. When I arrived, Romeo began fighting the two bad guys, and a man who came out of nowhere arrived, by saving us. The man who saw is you but actually named Matthew Greene, and it seems like there was an illusion because he used this thing called remote control. And after two days of travelling, we arrived here."

"I-It's my fault, I shouldn't have agreed to go to this so-called military school." He said as he started tearing up.

"N-No, it's not. We both know that it is your dream school, but it seems like you have been-" I said as I comforted him then he cutted me off.

"I have been lied to, yes I know that. Y-You see, I'm not supposed to tell you this but I just have to. Juliet, Romeo and I are apart of the Magicias, Juliet's family are the founder of this but it should've been kept only between us users to keep the guardian's identity a secret. Each of us had our own mission, and mine was about the present. It seems like Maria Greene is under control of my mission, and she told me some things I have absolutely no idea about until she told me. She said if I would agree to her deal, she could bring me to my dream school. Little did I know, she kidnapped me in here for the past months I have gone away. I tried so hard to communicate even one of you, but it felt too dangerous and I didn't have a choice. I even noticed a couple months ago that I have become weaker and weaker, I don't know why that's why I look a little rough." He explained.

"Oh no Travy, I should've known, but you know I am here for you, right?" I said as I looked at him.

"I know, I felt so stupid. All these Magicias thing, you, Juliet, ugh. I don't know anymore." He said.

"Don't worry we could do this together, besides I won't tell anyone that about the Magicias. What stays in the room must stay in the room." I said.

"But about what you said, I am glad that Juliet chooses me. No offense to Romeo, but I do think Juliet and I were always meant for each other." He said as he smiled.

"You're right, but speaking of Romeo and Juliet, shouldn't we find them and at least find a plan to escape here?" I asked as I frowned.

"We should, and luckily I did studied this place for over six months now. You see that vent over there?" He said then he pointed at the right corner of the room and I nodded.

"I think we can climb up there, and it will probably take us to the room where Romeo and Juliet are." He continued.

"Why didn't you thought of that idea or done that idea anytime back when you arrived here?" I asked as I frowned.

"Well if you didn't notice, I am in handcuffed right now so of course I would have a hard time, doing things. Besides, the vent is sealed which makes it twice as hard for me to get out of here by myself." He replied as he glared at me.

"Since I'm here, I would do that for you then." I said as I stood up then walked towards the vent.

"Be careful, you might trip over the-" He shouted then he cutted of his sentence as I tripped over the wires and fell down to the floor.

"Great, now what do we do when my ankles are tied with wires?" I asked as I looked at him.

"And are you even sure that the vent is the only solution for our problem right now?" I asked as I frowned.

"Calm down Missy, I'm sure we could find another way." He said as he rolled his eyes.

"Since your ankles aren't tied, can you please at least find a book in one of those shelves while I will crawl to the other side of the room?" I asked.

"Yes Laury." He replied as he groaned then he stood up and walked to the shelves.

Travis grabbed each book and checked if there is even one of them that could help us get out in here, while I looked around and crawled.

"Travis, did you know what was inside that huge chest over there?" I asked.

"Well it is locked, so I have no idea what is in there." He said as he turned at me then a paper fell off from the book to the floor.

"Is there anything written in that paper?" I asked as he kneel down and picked up the paper.

"It is just a bunch of random numbers, but there is one group of numbers called as safe." He replied.

"A safe! There's gotta be a safe somewhere, maybe it could lead us to the other room." I said.

"Well luckily, there is one safe in this room, but the problem is it is on the ceiling." He said then I looked up and groaned.

After 20 minutes, Travis and I were able to press in the numbers of the safe. Once it is opened, we saw a tiny golden key with a tag saying, "chest". Travis and I got down, then we opened the chest using the key. The moment we opened the chest, a huge bright light appeared.

"Greetings Mr. and Mrs. Greene, which room you want to teleport to?" The chest spoke as Travis and I gasped.

"U-Uhh, what is teleport?" I asked as I looked at Travis.

"It is where we want to automatically go to, in other words, its called travelling but with magic." Travis replied then I nodded.

"Room 914, please." I said to the chest.

"Gladly, please stand inside the chest as we lead you to the room 914." The chest said.

"I must say this is one of the most incredible but unusual things I've ever seen!" I exclaimed then I slowly placed my feet into the chest as Travis did the same with his and  he chuckled.

Things happened too fast, the next thing I know is Travis and I arrived in the room 620, on where Romeo and Juliet are.

"Well, that was fast." I said then I chuckled.

"Take your time in thinking Juliet, when the right decision of yours come, I will be there for you." Romeo said from a distance.

"D-Did you heard that? It must be them!" Travis whispered as he slowly walked towards them and I followed Travis by crawling.

"But always remember that once upon a time, your heart was mine." Romeo continued.

The next thing Travis and I heard is that Romeo and Juliet kissed, I started to panicked because I may be one of the reasons why Romeo said that to Juliet and why they kissed. I was literally just teasing at Romeo, I didn't knew he would actually do a thing I just said. As I looked up at Travis, I knew he felt heartbroken, very heartbroken.

"That's it." Travis whispered in anger.

"I-I am sorry, w-we shouldn't be doing that. Please forgive me, and never tell anyone." Juliet nervously said as Travis and I followed them through their voices.

"N-No, I should be the one who should said sorry, you have a boyfriend and the guy is Travis." Romeo nervously replied.

"I knew you two are hiding something from me, from us." Travis said from behind them then Romeo and Juliet turned around.

"Tr-Travis?! Lauren?!" Romeo and Juliet panickedly shouted as Travis glared at them and I worriedly looked at them.

"You betrayed me!" Travis scolded as he pulled Romeo up and he brings his fist up.

"Travis! Stop on what you are planning to do!" Juliet shouted.

"And let you and 'Mr. Steal my girl' here be together after your romantic kiss?" Travis shouted as Juliet flinched and I comforted Juliet.

"Travis, I swear we didn't meant to kiss. Please have mercy!" Romeo said as he protected himself.

"Oh yeah, you kissed Juliet. My Juliet!" Travis shouted back at him then he punched Romeo in his jaw.

"Romeo!" Juliet shouted as she let go from our hug then I fell down to the floor.

"Oh my gosh Lauren, I'm so sorry!" Juliet panickedly apologized.
