A KINGDOM AS GREAT (1/2)

November 21
     Dear Diary,
	Today went as usual.  I wrote on my stories for about an hour, then got 
in a fight with Jonny about it.  I feel sorry for poor Hadji, being 
caught in the middle of the crossfire.  It makes me sad thinking back to 
where the three of us would race to the cave after school every day.  
Those are probably the happiest memories I have with my friends.  	
Lately I have realized something that I haven't felt before.  I find 
myself knowing things that I was never taught.  Ideas and feelings are 
leaving me more confused than I have ever been.  Then when Jonny puts 
pressure on me and bugs me, my temper gets the best of me and I say and 
do things that I regret.  Since the new year is coming up in a little 
over a month, I'm going to try and get things better between me and 
Jonny before we kill each other.  Besides, I like him.  I think.

	Jessie clicked on the save icon on the corner of her computer screen.   
She then went into her fifth story's section to finish the middle of the 
plot, but when she went to reach for her notebook to copy from, it 
wasn't in her desk.  She ran to the hallway and knocked on Hadji's door.
	"Hadji, have you seen my notebook?"
	"What?"  She could barely make out his voice through the thick door.
	"Can I come in?!"
	"Yes."  She came in and leaned in the doorway.
	"Have you seen my notebook?"  He looked from the papers on his desk to 
her and shrugged.
	"Are you talking about that white one with all your stories?"
	"Yes, that one inch three ring binder."
	"The last time I saw it was when you were writing in the van."  That's 
when she remembered that she sat it under her seat when she got stuck on 
a part.
	"Thanks."  She closed the door and headed downstairs.  As she opened 
the front door she saw through the dark, the icy rain that fell all 
around.   She reached to her side at the coat hanger and grabbed her 
jacket, tossing it over her head.  Better hurry before I freeze.  She 
ran to the van that was unusually parked to the side of the mansion and 
slid the side door open.  The interior lit up as she searched around the 
seats.
	Behind the surrounding trees were the dark eyes that  had watched her 
for many years.  "Soon my love."  He said under his breath as Jessie ran 
back to the front door.  "Soon everything that I've been dreaming about 
for so long will be mine, and nothing will stand in our way.  With my 
immortality and your powers, the kingdom will become great once more."  
He fell back into the shadows that he had spent so many centuries in 
alone, but he had plans to change that.
				
					

				


				          A Month Later

	It was early one morning when Race's voice came from downstairs.  
"Hurry up guys.  Doc and I want to make sure ya'll don't skip school 
before we leave."  Hadji was the first one down, quickly followed by 
Jonny.
	"When are you and Dad planning on returning?"
	"We're only going to be gone for two days Jonny.  Don't throw any wild 
parties when we're gone."
	"Oh yes."  Jonny started with a smile.  "I try to save my special 
parties for you Race."
	Race shook his head and rolled his eyes.  "And I was trying to be 
serious for a change."  He stopped and looked around.  "Where's Jess?"
	"I'm here."  She sleepily walked down the stairs, her sunglasses 
shielded her blood shot eyes.
	"Jessie, it's the most beautiful December morning with snow everywhere 
and you're dressed like someone just died."  Race commented as he looked 
at her black jeans and black shirt.
	"I just felt like wearing something different today."  She paused like 
she heard something.  "Did the phone ring?"  Everyone listened carefully 
for a moment.
	"You must be hearing things Jess."  Jonny teased.
	"But I could have sworn I heard it and it was for Hadji."
			*Ring*
            Race walked over to the phone and picked it up.  "Quest 
Compound...Hold on."  Race held it to Hadji.  "It's for you."  He handed 
the phone to Hadji and walked upstairs to finish his packing.  Hadji 
turned to Jessie with a worried look.
	"Don't worry, it's good news from Pasha."  Jonny watched Jessie 
carefully as Hadji talked on the phone and soon hung up.
	"Well?"  Jonny asked Hadji as he walked up to his friends.
	"Pasha wants me to come for a visit tomorrow to see my mother for the 
holidays."  Jonny turned to Jessie and so did Hadji.   
	"How did you do that?"  She smiled at the look on her friend's faces. 
	"It's a secret."  Only inside, was her worry showing.  Not knowing how 
you do or don't know things is the most terrifying thing that she could 
think of.

	The dark figured from the wooded area of the Quest Compound, entered 
into his cave and walked into the shadows.  As he got to the back wall a 
red light beamed down from the dark corner and circled his ageless body.  
"My Lord and Father, I have come to assure you of the success of my 
mission of decades."
	A deep voice called from the light and echoed around him.  "Binx, you 
do have the chosen one within your grasp?"
	"Yes my Lord.  She is still unaware of her powers and will be of no 
trouble to retrieve."
	"Good.  There is no time to lose, for the new century is to start 
soon."	
	"I will have her here by tomorrow."
	"Today!"  The voice's sudden outburst made Binx flinch, and he lowered 
his gaze to the ground.
	"I will have her in by this afternoon."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	"I am so glad that it's the last day of school before Christmas break."  
Jonny was cheerfully talking from the front passenger seat next to Hadji 
as Jessie sat in the back.
	"I'm just sorry I won't be around for Christmas."
	"Oh it's okay Hadji."  Jessie started.  "I doubt we'll end up doing 
anything half as interesting as you will.  I mean after the large dinner 
you will have with your mother and Pasha, you meet a girl that you might 
end up marrying can be pretty cool."
	Hadji glanced at Jonny who turned to Jessie.  "Hey Jess, why are you 
acting so weird lately."
	"I don't think I'm acting weird Jonny.  What do you think Hadji?"  He 
didn't answer and she glared at both of them.  "This is stupid.  Why are 
you two all of a sudden against me?"  She took off her sunglasses and 
stuffed them in her back pocket.
	"Jessie, it's not that we're against you, it's just that we worry about 
you.  Then when you say and do things that are peculiar, we can't help 
but wonder what is wrong."  Hadji said as he pulled the car into the 
school parking lot.
	"It's only because we love you Jess and we don't want anything bad to 
happen."
	"I can't believe you two. I'm not a small child.  I'm seventeen and 
fully capable of taking care of myself.  I don't need my two best 
friends to try and feel sorry for me."
	"Jessie, we're not feeling sorry for you.  It's just ever since you 
started this writing stuff you..."  Jonny stopped as Hadji parked the 
car next to the school auditorium.
	"Don't you dare start that again Jonathan Quest!  The only reason I 
write is to escape my life that contains you nagging me constantly."   
She opened the door and the snow's cold breeze flew around them in the 
car.  "Just leave me alone.  Both of you!"  She stepped out and slammed 
the door shut behind her.  The two teen boys were left behind stunned 
and speechless.
	"I think I hit a nerve Hadji."  
	"I think you did more than that my friend.  I think you found the 
source of her strange behavior."
	"The writing?"
	"No, you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	Binx walked around the school feeling the deep snow under his feet.  As 
he made his stroll around the buildings, many students looked over at 
him.  His brown hair and brown eyes stood out next to his pale skin and 
light pink lips.  He had figured a regular pair of  blue jeans and a 
green sweater would be best to wear to the school because he didn't want 
to stand out.  He didn't count on his powers to be so affective on the 
young teenagers.
	He followed a crowd of students that were walking into a large building 
to the side.  It was a gym and he found a seat off to the side of the 
front row.  He searched through the crowd of passing students until he 
saw her.  Jessie walked in by herself and seemed like she had been 
crying.  He wanted so much to hold her next to him and tell her 
everything about their people and how special she was.  As she walked 
by, he held his hand out to her, and she glanced down at him.
	"I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but notice that you are a little 
upset."  He held her eyes and she found herself  feeling something 
intimately familiar about him.  "Would you like to have a seat?"  She 
was stunned by his forwardness.
	"Sure.  My name is Jessie."  She held out her hand out to shake, but he 
lifted it and kissed her soft skin.
	"My name is Binx and I have a feeling that we're going to get to know 
each other a lot better."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	"What are you talking about?  How am I the source of her problems?"  
Jonny seemed annoyed by Hadji's comment.
	"I'm sorry Jonny, but you and Jessie do nothing anymore but fight.  I 
think I know why too."  He leaned forward to his friend.  "You love 
her."
	"What?"  Jonny was shocked by what Hadji said.  "We can't even spend 
two minutes together without fighting."
	"Yes, but it's only because you or her will try to care too much.  Like 
this morning when you said you were worried about her you ended up in a 
fight, but it was only because you were concerned about her."
	"So what am I suppose to do about it?  I seriously doubt she wants 
anything to do with me at this point."  Jonny sighed and leaned back in 
his seat.  "I don't seem to know anything anymore."
	Hadji shook his head.  "It has nothing to do with knowing anything, 
it's about feeling something.  If you don't tell her you're only going 
to be eaten away inside until you finally drive her away.  You could 
lose her because of your own fear."
	"I'm not afraid of anything."
	"Then what are you waiting for?"
	Jonny opened his mouth, but he couldn't find the right words.  "I don't 
know."  He sat up and looked out the window.  "I'll talk to her."
	"When?"
	After a moment of silence he turned to Hadji.  "Now."
	He opened the door and stepped out into the snow and ice.  Hadji sat 
back and smiled, proud of the good deed he was doing.  He pretty much 
had the same talk with Jessie two weeks ago, but she was too afraid that 
Jonny was only going to laugh at her.  
	"He probably thinks of me as a sister anyway."  Jessie had said.
	"That's not true.  He has never referred to you as being nothing but a 
close friend."  Jessie had asked for his opinion and he was sure Jonny 
liked her as much as she did him.
	"I'll believe that when I hear it." 
	Hadji looked down at his watch and gasped.  "I'm suppose to be in the 
gym for the morning announcements."  He locked the car and followed the 
crowd of students into the gym.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	Jonny searched around the large gym trying to find Jessie.  He couldn't 
believe what he was about to do.  He never imagined himself confessing 
his love for her.  The thought of how happy he would be to see her made 
him happier than he ever felt possible.  The crowd of kids around made 
it almost impossible to know where he was going.  He was practically 
pushed into a seat in the middle of the benches.
	"Hey Jonny."  He turned to a familiar voice from the side.  Patty 
smiled back at him.  Her blonde hair circled around her brown eyes.
	"Hello Patty."  He looked around the gym trying to see where Jessie had 
disappeared to.
	She sat down next to him, crossing her long legs in her short skirt.  
"You look real good this morning."
	He looked down at his cloths.  He had decided to wear something 
different so he wore a thick blue sweater and Calvin Cline jeans because 
he thought it would impress Jessie.  Suddenly he was feeling it was 
working; only on the wrong person.  "Thanks Patty.  That's a nice 
skirt."
	She rubbed her thigh and smiled.  "Oh it's just an old thing that I had 
laying around."   She scooted closer and leaned next to him.  "I was 
wondering if you have been seeing anyone?"
	"No.  Why do you ask?"  He was beginning to fear he knew where this 
conversation was leading to.
	"No reason.  I am just surprised a girl hasn't got her hooks into you 
yet."  She tried to sound shocked.   Jonny tried not to show that he was 
rolling his eyes.  Patty's popularity was only due to her looks and 
flirting.
	"Look Patty, you're a really nice girl, but.."
	"Oh Jonny that's so sweet.  I like you too."  He looked at her and she 
put her arm around his waist.  "What did you want to say?"
	"Listen, can I get back to you later?  I've got to go talk with Jessie 
about something."  He was desperate to get away.
	"Sure.  I'll see you during first class then."  He could tell by her 
tone of voice that he wasn't getting away that easy.
	As he made his way past the crowd he finally spotted Jessie.  She sat 
in the front row next to a boy he had never seen before.  He watched 
them talk and Jessie's smile as she listened carefully to every word the 
stranger had to say.  A hand touched Jonny's shoulder and he jerked 
around to see who it was.
	"What's wrong Jonny?"
	He sighed with relief  and shook his head.  "Nothing Mr.Miller."  The 
high school principal smiled at him.
	"How is your father?  I haven't seen him since the school had him put 
in a whole system of cameras and computers."
	"Great, dad had fun working with you and the assistant principal."
	"That was a lot of fun.  Thanks to your father our school is the most 
high-tech in the state."  He looked around at the many students.  "Well 
why don't you have a seat and we'll get this over with as soon as 
possible."  Jonny did as told and found a seat as far away from Patty as 
he could get.  After the announcements, everyone made their way to the 
classrooms.  Jonny lost sight of Jessie and Hadji, so he decided it 
would be best to wait right after school to talk to her.  

	"Binx, what class do you have first?"  Jessie walked next to him in the 
snow up to the class building.
	He smiled brightly.  "What do you have first?"
	"Pre Cal."
	"What a coincidence, that's the same class I have.  Do you think that 
maybe you can show me around some time?  Since we have classes together 
and all."
	"I would love to show you the school."
	"How about now?"  She looked down at her watch.
	"Well, I don't know."
	"Please Jessica."  He held her hands and looked deeply into her eyes.  
"I would be most grateful."
	He seemed to have a power over her that she couldn't help but give 
into. "Sure, why not."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	The tardy bell rung and Jonny sat down in his usual seat, but this time 
Patty took the seat next to him.  *I hate this class.*  He thought.  
*Why do I need Chemistry?*  "Hello again Jonny.  Did you ever find 
Jessie?"
	"No."  The teacher walked in and scanned the class.  
	"Everyone is here and there is only twelve of you, so we'll get in 
groups of two.  Pick someone next to you to work with."  Patty almost 
jumped out of her seat when she heard what their teacher said.
	"Jonny, would you like to work with me?"  He looked around and found 
that everyone already had a partner.
	"Sure, why not."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	Jessie walked with Binx in the hallway, still holding his hand.  "And 
this is our trophy case right here."  She pointed to a large oak box on 
the wall.
	"Do you have any here?"  She blushed.
	"No I don't get any worth keeping around here."  They continued walking 
down the hall until they entered a dark room.
	"What is this room used for?"
	"It's the health class.  They don't use it very often though."  They 
took seats next to each other, never bothering to turn on the light.  
The sun's rays came in through the window causing a soft glow to spread 
throughout the room.
	Binx leaned forward and laid a hand on Jessie's knee.  "I have 
something very important to tell you."  He knew he had to have her to 
his father before long, so he thought he would go ahead and get to the 
point.
	"What is it?" 
	"Do you seem to know things but don't know why?"
	"Yes.  How did you know?"  
	"You have a gift that is very special, and I'm here to help you so you 
can help me.  You are part of a growing breed of beings."  Jessie had to 
force her smile as she began to think if he was totally sane or not.
	"So I'm part of some kind of supernatural species of people?"
	"Yes and I'm the prince of these people."  She stood up and glanced at 
the door hoping she could leave soon.  He was beginning to make her 
uncomfortable.
	"I think we better get to class.  Mrs. Cuddle will be worried."  Before 
she could make it to the door Binx suddenly appeared in front of her.  
She screamed, but he threw his hand over her mouth.
	"Shhh."  He held her tightly against him and whispered in her ear.  Her 
eyes were wide with fright.  *Oh God, what is he going to do to me?*  
Her mind was running wildly.  "If you will listen to me, I know that you 
will be happy to find out everything you can about our kind."  He slowly 
lifted his hand from her mouth, but wouldn't release her, afraid she 
might try to run.
	"What does this have to do with me?"
	"We are immortal, but we have bad rumors spread about us that make the 
humans fear our kind.  We have been labeled vampires, night stalkers, or 
blood suckers.  They are only half true.  We do live forever, but just 
the sight of blood makes me sick to my stomach.  Through  years though, 
people have killed us and made our full blood breed slowly thin out.  
Only once every hundred years one of us are born.  If two full bloods 
are to breed then they make only a half blood.  Then only chosen ones 
are born to be a full.  Jessie."  He pulled her away from him to look 
her in the eye.  "You are a chosen full blood.  You and I are the last 
of only a few hundred.  As the prince, I am responsible of keeping our 
kingdom going.  You are to be my bride and our children will breed with 
the royal family in Asia."
	"You're crazy.  Vampires?  Binx have you lost your mind?  This is the 
21st century.  You can't go around talking about all of this and think 
that I'm going to believe any of it.  I don't know where you're from, 
but around in Maine, we don't believe in fairy tales like this."
	"Actually it's almost the 22nd century.  That's why it is vital that we 
waist no time.  The humans will soon die out within the next century or 
two, and then we will have the planet to ourselves."  He pulled her back 
up to him, feeling her heart beating quickly against him. "I know this 
is a lot for you to take in at once, but I just want you to know that I 
love you and that nothing bad will ever happen as long as I'm here."
	*He's crazy.*  Binx could hear her worried thoughts and knew that he 
was going to run out of time.  He used his powers to manipulate her 
mind.  Soon Jessie found herself  falling in love with him against her 
will.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	Jonny sat in his lab apron next to Patty and sighed.  They were having 
to add vinegar to baking soda and write down exactly what was occurring  
in scientific terms.  Patty moved her seat closer for the third time in 
the past twenty minutes.  Jonny poured some more vinegar on a small 
amount of baking soda.
	"I think we have about everything written on the reaction of the two."  
He looked over at Patty and realized she hadn't stopped staring at him 
since they started the assignment.  "What do you think Patty?"
	"Whatever you say Jonny.  Did you know that your eyes sparkle when you 
work hard?"  He turned back to the tubes in front of him trying to 
change the subject.
	"No I didn't.  Now, do we have to add the vinegar to salt or sugar?  I 
can't remember."
	"Why are you so worried about the stupid experiment?  You have a 
perfect score in all of your classes.  So what's one B?"
	"I don't want you to get a bad grade."
	"I don't want a good grade.  I want to be with you."  She sat her hand 
on his knee and he jumped with surprise.
	"Well you're here with me now.  What else do you want?"  He realized 
his voice was shaking.
	"No, I want you."  Her hand moved from his knee and up his thigh.  He 
put his hand over hers and turned to her.
	"I don't think you know what you want.  I'm not very good with girls."  
She took back her hand and smiled.  He nervously took off his coat and 
sat it on his lap.
	"I know how you feel about me.  Ever since you first came to this 
school and your blue eyes caught mine, I knew we were meant to be."  She 
sat her hand back down but landed much farther up his thigh.  His hand 
flew up in desperation, and his voice cracked as he called out to the 
teacher.
	"Mrs. Lilly, can I use the restroom?!"  The room fell silent by his 
sudden outburst.
	"Do you really have to go?"  Patty's hand reached its goal and Jonny's 
voice went high in pitch.
	"Yes!"  The teacher pointed to the counter.
	"There's the pass."  He shot up and Patty pulled her hand away quickly 
before anyone noticed.  He closed the door behind him and leaned back on 
it.  *Now, that was scary.*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	Jessie laughed loudly as she and Binx walked down the empty hallways.  
She never felt more alive in her entire life.  "Now,"  Binx tried to 
catch his breath from laughing so hard.  "Try to move something with 
your mind."
	"I can do that?"
	"Sure."  He pointed next to a locker at an old pen on the floor.  "Make 
it come to you."
	"How?  I can't even make Bandit come to me."  They both started 
laughing and Binx cleared his throat.
	"Come on, let's be serious."  He held back his laughter and continued.  
"Just close your eyes and concentrate."  She closed her eyes and took a 
deep breath, but Binx laughed as he thought of something to say.  "Feel 
the force Luke."  Jessie was almost in tears, and she teasingly slapped 
his shoulder.	
	"Will you leave me alone so I can do this?"
	"I'm sorry Honey."  She smiled as she closed her eyes again and gave it 
another try.  The pen slowly lifted off the ground and flew over, 
landing in her hand.  She turned around to him and smiled.  
	"How was that?"
	"That was great.  You will become more powerful than me if I don't 
watch it."  They leaned forward to kiss again but a voice made them turn 
around.
	"Okay kids, what are you two doing out of class?"  Mr. Miller walked up 
to them glaring.
	"Oh, I was just showing the new student around."
	"We don't have any new students enrolled."  Binx walked up to Mr. 
Miller and looked him straight in the eyes.
	"Of course there is.  Remember I'm Binx and you personally know me.  
I'm a great kid that gets good grades."  Mr. Miller's eyes went blank 
and he nodded.
	"Great kid."  He turned around and headed for the office smiling.  
Jessie turned to Binx and laughed.
	"Wow.  Can you teach me that one?"
	"Piece of cake.  Wouldn't you rather do something more fun?"
	"What did you have in mind?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	Jonny looked from the second floor window into the front parking lot.  
The snow clouds were  hanging thickly over the sun and everything looked 
suddenly darker.  The cars and roads were covered with white, and Jonny 
began to think about Jessie.  He would tell her everything right after 
school ended.  He started to remember her laugh, and how she seemed to 
know what he was thinking.  She always knew how to act and what to say 
when he was upset.  No one understood him like she did.  They would 
somehow end up holding hands during a movie or stilling a sweet kiss 
every once  in a while.  He couldn't imagine a long plane ride without 
hearing her complain about Bandit chewing up something of hers.
	*I don't want to, but I guess I better get to class before Patty comes 
up with some excuse to come and look for me.  Then we'd be alone.*  He 
shuddered at the thought of her touching him.  He turned to head back to 
class when the fire alarm went off.  All the doors on both sides opened 
and students and teachers came out by the dozens.  During all of the 
confusion Jonny got pushed around down the hall and tripped into a 
janitor's closet.  He stood up in the dark and turned the knob, but it 
was jammed.
	"Hello!  Somebody open the door!"  He knocked furiously but everyone 
was too worried about getting out, than they were of the closet.  He 
sighed after a moment and sat back.  *They should return in a minute.  
It's probably just a test.*  He tried to reassure himself, but the 
thought of having a fire test in the middle of a snow storm suddenly 
didn't sound as good as he wanted it to.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	Patty searched through the crowd and fought around until she made her 
way into the empty halls.  After looking around for a minute she 
followed her friends outside, passing by the closet that Jonny sat in 
quietly.  As she made it outside, everyone was talking and hugging 
themselves in the cold snow.  Hadji ran up to Patty knowing that she had 
her first class with Jonny.
	"Patty, where's Jonny?"
	She made a disappointing sigh and shrugged.  "Wish I knew."
	"How about Jessie?  Have you seen her?"
	"No, but I heard she was hanging around some new guy."
	"Who was he?"
	"I don't know.  I didn't  see him."  She swung her long pink jacket 
around herself as she talked.  "But I still think Jonny's the cutest of 
them all."  Hadji shook his head and decided that it was worthless to 
talk to Patty about anything serious.  
	He ran over to Mr. Miller who was directing people to stand in lines.  
"Mr. Miller!"  He turned around and squinted to avoid getting snow in 
his eyes.
	"Where's Jonny at Hadji?"  Mr.  Miller spoke loudly over the crowd's 
noise.
	"That's what I was hoping you could tell me."
	"I wish I could, but there are a lot of other students that I have to 
make sure are safe."
	"Well have you at least seen Jessie?"
	"Yes, she was walking around the halls with that nice boy Binx."  Hadji 
turned around and looked around at all the faces around him, but found 
nothing that interested him.  *I work with the office all the time, but 
I don't recall there ever being a Binx that had enrolled lately.*  
Suddenly he got a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	"Jessie, everyone has left the building."  Binx's voice was filled with 
laughter.  "Do you want to do the finishing touches?"
	"This is going to be a little difficult."  He picked up one of her 
hands and laid it against the wall under his.
	"Let's do it together."  They closed their eyes, and a red light 
circled their hands, then spread along the walls of the school building.
