A/N: okay so first I want to introduce myself. My name is De Ann and I am fairly young (in my teens) but with an accelerated mind. I could care less what other people think about me. My friend, Bri, and I are writing a story called Joke Gone Rogue and it is an Edward and Bella story for Twilight. Yes I am a huge fan but am totally in love with Jacob Black from Twilight and Gavin Rose from FableHaven. Speaking of Gavin brings me back to the current story. The story is set for the time of the beginning of the grade they are in for book four. So Kendra is in ninth grade at the high school and Seth is in seventh grade at the middle school. Although it is set for around that time, the events do not occur. It is in Kendra's POV (Point of View) but may switch between characters, I'm not sure. **SPOILER ALERT** In this story, Gavin is not Navarog, AKA Demon Prince of Dragons. I'm not sure how I'm going to fit Navarog in but I'll try. Also, yes the Sphinx is still the leader of the SES (Society of the Evening Star) and Captain of KOD (Knights of the Dawn; go Warren!) but the events occurs differently and Gavin is part of the KOD but not with the SES. Anyway I'm not going to do a preface so this is chapter one! Enjoy!

KENDRA POV

I was lying in bed reading the letters Gavin sent me via other guards. After activity from the Society of the Evening Star got suspicious at the beginning of summer this year, my brother, Seth, and I always had a guard on job, watching for something – anything – that looked suspicious. I had told them that we would be fine; ever since the fairies back at FableHaven had kissed me, I had special powers that meant I was fairykind. The powers were that of being able to see in dark and knowing Silvian, the fairy language. I tried to convince them that we would fine but when they mentioned that Gavin, a dragon tamer that went with me and Warren to Lost Mesa, I shut up about it. I could tell they knew why because they gave me knowing glances, especially Tanu and Coulter. What made it worse was the fact that I blush when I lie so when I say that I didn't like him like that, they all knew; I Kendra Sorenson, had a crush on Gavin Rose.

Big time.

I sighed. Gavin hadn't once been our guard and I hadn't once seen him since we were at Lost Mesa in Arizona. I missed the guy. And his stutter.

"Obsessing over him, again?" I heard Seth exasperate from my bedroom doorway. I quickly hid the letters under my mattress, but not before I knew Seth had seen them. I could tell from the huge smirk on his face.

I blushed a deep rose.

"No," I said too quickly. Way to go Kendra, you can't even keep anything from Seth anymore, I chastised myself.

"Whatever. Our ride's here." He flung his backpack over his shoulder but stayed put.

Grrr. School. We're only two weeks into the school year and it's already boring. I mean being a freshman is cool and all but I liked – wait. Did he just say our ride? Surely he didn't mean the bus. It was too early and besides we rode different buses. He's only in the seventh grade – the kid had skipped a grade, surprise there.

"Yeah, check out the sweet ride." He hurried over the window in my room facing the front lawn and low and behold, a sleek, black Aston Martin DB9 was parked in front of the house. The windows were tinted too dark to see the driver but whoever he or she was, they honked the horn and waved out the window from the driver's seat.

"Seth, do you know who it is?" This could be another trick from the Society.

"I don't but mom said it was one of Grandpa S's friends. Young maybe sixteen or seventeen. Tan with a muscular but lean build – " My eyes grew wide as he described the person. I didn't wait for him to continue mom's description through Seth's mouth. I flew off my bed – not literally, I wish – grabbed my backpack and dashed downstairs. Seth was right on my heels, hurrying hastily. "Is it – "

"Gavin!" Leaning against the frame of the hot ride stood Gavin Rose. I embraced him eagerly and he returned the favor. I was tempted to fold my legs behind his waist but decided against it since one; I figured it was pushing this thing we had, if you could call it a thing, too hard too fast, and secondly; my mom and Seth were standing in the doorway.

Seth was smirking. And glaring.

Yeah. Bad idea.

"Kendra," he whispered in my ear, so close I could feel his hot breath, making me shiver, "I've missed you." He kissed my cheek. I blushed beyond description. His voice sounded a little gruff.

"I've missed you, too," I said. I took his hands within my own and took a step back to look at him. I looked him up and down in amazement. "Wow," was all I could say.

He looked taller and even more muscular with shaggier hair that ended near his eyes when it stayed in place. He was even better-looking.

My friends are going to be so jealous. Wait. What's his excuse for showing up here and dropping us off at school?

I heard Seth loudly clear his throat in what seemed like the distance.

"Um, thank you, M-M-Mrs. Sorenson," he called just before I saw my mother about to walk into the house, "for letting me stay at your house for the t-t-time being."

My jaw dropped wide open and my eyes almost popped out of their sockets. I could hear Seth's laughter booming throughout the neighborhood. I heard him manage to choke out, "You're letting… him… stay at… the… house?" He had a hard time talking and laughing and I was pretty sure he would throw up soon enough from lack of oxygen.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Gavin smile and blush a little.

This was going to be torture.

"Seth, leave them alone for a little." I let out a sigh of relief. Thank. You. Mom.

Seth grunted a little but went inside with mom and shut the door behind him. I knew from his personality he would be looking out the window. But I didn't care. I flung myself at Gavin again and squealed when he caught me with my legs behind his back. He swayed us side to side and then put me back on ground but I clung to him, unable to let go. I didn't care what he thought.

I reluctantly pulled back and smiled. "Oh my gosh!! When did you get here? You're our guard? Wow, you look different. Oh my gosh!!"

"I got h-h-here two days ago; I stayed at a hotel. Yes I am your guard. And y-y-yeah I guess I do look a little different."

"Why couldn't I see you? I saw all of the other guards," I noted. Gavin said he got here two days ago. I had seen Warren three days ago and he didn't know who would be our next guard. He must have left when Gavin had gotten here. But why would he stay hidden?

He suddenly pulled me into a hug and I believe me, I complied fully. But I don't think he really wanted to hug because he whispered in my ear. "The Society has been in the area and Stan figured that s-s-since they didn't figure out I was with you guys at Lost Mesa and I know you guys and I'm around your age that I would be your g-g-guard."

This was shocking. I mean no one knew this happen. One minute you're fine, the next the Society is on your trail. "So what's your cover story?" I whispered.

"G-G-Go get your brother. I'll tell you guys as I'm driving you to school."

"K."

I ran through the door, leaving it open and found heard Seth upstairs in his room. "Seth!" I called, "Get your butt down here!"

"Kendra," my mom scolded.

"Yeah, yeah," I said, shrugging it off.

I walked back through the door to see Gavin hunched over with his hands on his knees to support his laughing frame. "What's so funny?"

"Seth… get… your butt… down here!" He said, mimicking my voice exactly. I chuckled under my breath and Seth walked up behind me.

He slapped me upside the head. "What'd ya yell at me for?"

I tackled him to the ground. He wasn't ready for it, me being a girl and everything, so I had the advantage. I heard Gavin's laughing stop in an instant as me and Seth were rolling and tackling each other in the front yard's grass. I had managed to get Seth pinned to the ground from up above and his arms over his head. Gavin hurried over to where we ended up and grabbed me from around the waist. I was still struggling when he pulled me up off him. He was really strong.

He was trying to calm me by softly whispering in my ear. I finally calmed down and was breathing heavily. All was silent.

Then Seth and I started bursting out laughing. This was something we do once in a while. Get rid of some steam. Then Gavin caught on – finally – and starting laughing uncontrollably. Then he stopped and said, "Th-That's not funny." His tone was really serious and it froze me and Seth in our places. Gavin suddenly started laughing, not fake this time either. He was kidding! That jerk. Meh, I forgive him. He's too cute not to forgive.

So Seth and I start laughing, too. After a good five minutes of laughing, we all climbed into the car. Gavin opened the driver side door and ushered Seth into the backseat. I got in after Gavin held my door open and then Gavin climbed in the driver seat. He was still chuckling under his breath.

"Okay," said Seth, "what's your story? And why are you staying at our house?" He said the last sentence coldly so I wheeled around to face him and glared at him.

"Don't talk to our guest like that," I said sternly.

"Nah, it's cool," Gavin said, "I really shouldn't be intruding. B-B-But in order to stay out of the radar and keep you guys' safe, this was all Stan and I could think of. I made him promise not to tell you guys because I wanted to tell you myself why I am staying at your house."

"So why are you staying our house? Not to be rude or anything."

"It's okay. Seth, I am going to say this now and I want you to take it as good as you can. You are welcome to beat me up later. Though I d-d-doubt you'll succeed," he mumbled under his breath. Seth shot him a cold glance and Gavin smirked at him through the mirror. He pulled away from the sidewalk slowly then stepped on the gas a little. "As I said, I'll say this in advanced… I'm sorry. I know you love your sister but this is what is needed in this case." He looked into the mirror at Seth in the rear. "While I'm staying at your house I'm enrolling at K-K-Kendra's high school as a freshman, in all of Kendra's classes and," he took my hand and looked into my eyes, "for the time being, I am posing as Kendra's boyfriend."

I looked at him in his disbelief. He wanted to be my boyfriend? I knew it was just acting for potential spies for the SES but still! We would be acting as though we were together. We would be holding hands… we were in all of each other's classes… what if he kisses me? I better savor the upcoming memories; this could be as close as I'll get to being his girlfriend.

"So whose idea was it?" asked Seth from the back seat. We were about two blocks from his school and then it's about ten minutes to the high school; plenty of time to go over the details of the situation.

"It was my idea actually," Gavin said. "But we'll go over that stuff later. My story is this: Kendra, you m-m-met me over the summer while out of the house somewhere, the park maybe, and Seth, you were with her. We were talking and I gave you my number." He asked for my LG Dare and he entered his name as "Gavin :)" with his number: 928-555-2304. "We got along really well and ended up evidently g-g-going out."

I asked for his phone and he gave me his LG Dare. "Nice taste in phones," I teased. I entered my name as "Kendra :)" and my number: 928-555-1172. "Shoot, my parents. Why do they think you're here?"

"You parents t-t-think I'm at your house for an unexpected family emergency and my parents left the state and a note telling me to go to your house for somewhere t-t-to crash while they were gone. My parents knew Stan and Ruth so they asked and got your address from them and here I am. I am staying in the guest bedroom next to Kendra's."

Man, am I glad I cleaned my room.

"Alright S-S-Seth here we are." We have just pulled up in front of his school.

"How'd you know where… never mind! I don't want to know!" And with that he stormed out of the car but not before whispering, "Don't get too close to him," in my ear. He shot Gavin a cold stare and said, "I'll talk to you later," and caught up with some friends.

"So boyfriend," we chuckled, "how did you know where his school was?"

"I have a built in n-n-navigation system," he said as if it were the most obvious thing in the – oh, it's right in front of me in the dashboard. Duh.

"So it was your idea apparently. One; how did… that come up, and two… how are we doing this?"

"Well first off sorry that you didn't have much notice, we wanted this plan to go into action ASAP. And for your number o-o-one… Stan and Ruth got word that the Society was in the area and we wanted someone familiar for you guys to have a guard as. And don't worry someone is there for Seth, I think its T-T-Tanu. From my understanding he got a j-j-job as the teacher's assistant; don't ask me how he got that job, I have no clue. Since I would have to be familiar and people were wondering, I came up with the idea that I should be your boyfriend for protection. And who knows… As for the second, we'll act as though we have been together for the whole summer pretty much. Please don't hesitate to tell me if I go too f-f-far okay?"

"No problem, I'll let you know." I have no doubt in my mind that I won't stop him if it "goes too far".

"We're g-g-going to be a little early to school what do you w-w-want to do?"

"Wait wait wait… how did you get into all of my classes? I thought you were seventeen you should be a junior not freshman."

"I have my ways," he said with a smirk. "In this town I'm f-f-fifteen. Same as you so it's all good."

"So I have a seventeen-year-old boyfriend who is pretending to be fifteen to protect me and my brother." It was kind of confusing but I'll get the story straight. He looked at me with questioning eyes. "This is so cool!"

He sighed in relief and took my hand again. "So, w-w-what do you want to do?"

"Can you play football?"

"Yeah, I was quarterback at my old high school b-b-before inducted into being a knight. I finished high school early so I could finish my life as a d-d-dragon tamer," he said with a smile.

"Well a whole bunch of guys that didn't make it on the team last year play every morning on the little field; the real team takes the big one," I said. If he can impress me with football… I'll have the best quarterback as a boyfriend. This life just keeps getting better and better.

"I'll check it out… you want to come watch?"

"I don't know… I don't you getting in trouble with all the want-to-bees."

"Come on." He flexed his muscles. "I can t-t-take them."

I lost my breath there for a second before I recovered and by the time I did, we were already parked in a spot at school, 15 minutes early, and Gavin was opening my door for me. Although we were early, I could hear the major whispers already going around, probably about the car. Trisha, my best friend turned one of Tina the Head Cheerleader's cronies, whispered in Tina's ear while looking towards me and Gavin. Tins turned to glare at me and then looked down at our hands that were intertwined. I looked at Gavin, smiled at kissed his cheek and he leaned against the car and took me with him, so he was against the car and I was standing in front of him. He took both of my hands and leaned in. He whispered in my ear, "Would you mind if I k-k-k-kissed you?" I was way beyond words, so I shook my head and smiled, giving him permission.

He leaned in then kissed me lightly and softly at first, then snaked one of his hands around my back, the other cupping the back of my neck. He deepened the kiss and ran his tongue along my bottom lip, asking for permission to enter. I granted him access.

I could faintly hear the crowd behind us cat calling and egging us on. "Kendra! Kendra! Kendra!" but I didn't care. Gavin Rose had his tongue in my mouth and he tasted really good. He ran his tongue on the roof of my mouth and moaned, vibrating my mouth a little. I thought, even though it was the best first kiss ever, that it was going a little too far. So I pulled back and took his hands again. I leaned in and kissed him brief and sweet. I let go of one his hands and he grabbed my backpack for me and gave it to me so I slung my side backpack over one shoulder and held it with my free hand at my side. He took his own backpack and put it on his back. I still held his other hand and led him to the smaller field he pushed past all the people that had gathered around the car and shot menacing glances at all the guys. I laughed a little and he looked at me questioning and cocked his head to the side.

"I'll tell you later," I said between my laughter. He chuckled and let go of my right hand from his left and snaked his hand around my waist and I put my hand on his left one, holding it in place.

A/N: okay so that's the first chapter and if I get at least five reviews ill update. But I was thinking of finishing the story first and then updating by reviews or schedule. What do you guys think? Let me know!
