15 Plans Begin

Bella and Prompto worked out a plan for when they got inside. They were working backwards to make sure everything would fall into place. They figured that Prompto and Bella could sense which of the guards held the power like Prompto could tell where Bella was. It was hard for Bella to let them helping. She hated putting people in danger.

The backup plan was Bella being a distraction. Prompto was the first one to escape from the castle. If anything happened Bella could send her power to him and it would be safe. Bella knew she wouldn't be killed but the king would steal her power if he wanted to. They would rescue her when they got the chance hopefully.

Their main plan was to sneak their way through the castle. Neither of them would be recognized because technically no one has seen them grown up yet. She would hide in a maids uniform and Prompto in a butler's uniform. No one would suspect them walking together around the castle. She definitely wasn't used to wearing something so unflattering but she didn't mind it for once.

They began to head to the castle. They had rested for a few days but didn't have much time. Once they got to the gates is when the plans begun. Gladio and Ignis would be hidden inside the gate, Notics was to he hidden somewhere away from the gates. His face had never changed much from when he was kid. Bella knew very well that without the makeup she was always putting on, no one would recognize her with the flaws in her face. Prompto was hard not to look at because he was a butler but looked like a guard.

They sneak over the gate pretty easy. They had to wait a two days because they didn't know the guard patterns. It wasn't very good guarding, this king didn't know of all the threats he faced. He thought he was invincible and even more so with Bella's powers.

Once past the gate it was Bella and Prompto to continue on. Gladio and Ignis went to hide in a gardening shed. It was far to cold for anyone to be doing any gardening. No one would walk in there.

No one gave them a second look as they walked around the castle. It wasn't hard to figure out were the throne room was. The king was in there but they snuck around it. Time to find the other royals and their guards. Bella assumed that with how the King worked they would be separated.

They found the guards first. All separated into cells in a cellular, not even a dungeon. "Hey guards. Good to see you all again, " Bella whispers with a smile. Their faces all light up slightly but they aren't in good condition.

"Oh princess Bella you've come. We didn't say anything about you but we've been hoping you would come. You have to get out of here though!" One of the guards, more protective over Bella than the others was talking to her. She was very close with Jake. "It isn't safe here for you. We've overheard guards talking about the King wanting you." She was also whispering but quite loud.

"It's fine Lilith, he doesn't know exactly who I am yet, " Bella smiled and she looks around for the key. There wasn't one down there and that got her mad. "Damn no key. Any chance you know how to pick locks Prompto?"

"Ha I'm a royal guard from court. That's a great joke but I'm power should help, " Prompto smiled at her shocked face. Bella didn't know which of Notics guards had powers but she assumed only Gladio.

"Oh and what power is that?" Bella has somewhat doubt in his power. She doesn't know what but it's just a feeling.

"Well I can use telekinesis. For the most part anyways. I can move the locks to open easily since I have done it before, " Prompto walks up to the door and puts his hand on it. There are clicks of moving parts and it opens. It took seconds so Prompto keeps going.

"Well that's a good power. Quite useful too I guess. Jake has a heightened senses so he can tell when people are coming far away, " Bella shrugged and opened her world. "I need you guys to go into here for now. I will carry you for now but if anything happens you will all go with Prompto no matter what and leave this place."

"What do you mean no matter what?" Lilith asked not moving from her cell. "I am not leaving you here. That king is a terrible and killing his guards!"

"Lilith it's my life or lots of other royals. He won't kill me... " She sighs as she looks down. Bella hated talking about this, "He knows I'm here in this timeline... He wants to marry me which is why he has trapped me in this time forever. His guards are dying from my powers being too strong."

"Well you can't stay here. Your powers are too great," Lilith steps out of her cell finally. She was a stubborn guard and never moved until she got the information she wanted. Bella sighed once again.

"I will take my power back and send it to Prompto. He has some of it to open my late brother's world. Please understand that I have a job to the other royals and the people of my kingdom," Bella steps back and opens up a door to her world and smiles. "Go on in but don't touch anything. You will be moved to the other one with the royals."

"You have a job to your people to stay alive Princess Bella. The other royals would understand more than you know. You rule over the whole kingdom while they just rule over different parts."

"I understand that but it'll be okay. Let's get going so it doesn't end up like that okay?" Finally Lilith listened and all the guard went into the world. Bella closed it quickly and began to sneak back out of the dungeon with Prompto.

"They are right Bella. You are far more valuable alive and free, " Prompto whispered as they moved. "The other royals have siblings who can take the throne."

"I don't care. It's 60 lives for one losing freedom. It's the choice of a leader and I chose my people, " Bella held up a hand before he could answer. That's when Prompto could see the Queen in her.

He knew that he had to get her out of there because her kingdom needed her. She has done well in the years everyone has thought their heir is dead and has grown to be a true Queen. Prompto was proud of her but that wouldn't get her out of here free.

After ten minutes they found the royals and got them into what was now Prompto's world. An alarm went off. "Crap!" Bella jumped and quickly got the guards into his world. She than gave her magic to him. "Please go, keep them safe. This is an order."

"Bella no I refuse to listen to this order, " Prompto stay put but Bella gives him a quick kiss on the cheek before shoving him away and into a closet.

"I am sorry. I know you will come back..." Bella whispered before shutting the door and running to the exit. She was caught but she already knew that. She fought against the guards. "Unhand me! Don't you know I'm Princess Bella!" She yelled as she passed the closet again. Prompto was still in there but she was telling him it was okay.

"We know who you are Princess. We have orders though and not from you, " the guard on her left barked back at her.

"I know your damn orders and none say to manhandle me!" Bella shakes free from their grasp but she falls. She put up a fit making a big scene.

"Princess I am so sorry. Please don't tell my King, " that got the guard to be gentle. Bella sobbed a little and looked at her knee. It had been scraped and begun to bleed. "Oh no... I can't explain that to the King.."

"No you can't. You will unhand me and I will say I got it before being captured, " Bella stood up and her eyes were all puffy. "I'll explain the crying."

"Yes ma'am. Let's go, " the guard held his head down and walked quickly. They made it to the throne room and Bella fainted.

Without her magic, Bella was extremely weak and she's never fully lost her magic. She woke up and was in a big room. Someone had changed her into a very beautiful dress even if she hated to admit it, she loved it.

"Oh good to see you are up my lady. I will be your personal maid and your butler is outside waiting for instructions. Do you want something while I do your makeup and hair?" The maid curtsey and smiled at Bella. She was holding herself well.

"Ugh, " Bella sat up slowly. Her head was hurting a lot and she was shaking. "Some food and water."

"Specific food?" The maid was talking quieter to help with Bella.

"Cake I guess. I don't care for the flavor just something sweet. What's your name?" Bella looked around and than back at the maid.

"It's Susan. I will go tell Jacob and I'll be right back, " Susan curtsey again and quickly went out of the room.

Bella got up and looked around the room more thoroughly. There were lots of books which would be good. Bella knew that should would have at least one guard whenever she left or the butler was a guard and not a butler. Whatever the case was she looked over the books and got a chill. How did he know her favorite books? Those are the only books there...
