Later that same day, I was seated in the dungeon with my back resting on the wall when a guard came and opened the door.
Without saying anything, she grabbed my hands and jam the golden cuff against my hands.Against my better judgement, the girl was surprisingly gentle with me so I decided to push my luck."Where are you taking me?" She snapped her head sharply turning to look at me, I feared that I might have annoyed her with my stupid questions."I am taking you to the queen...""Why?" I asked panic risings in the pit of my stomach. Are they going to kill me? Or Maybe use me for one of their stupid sacrifices? I shivered in fear at the thought quickly rebuking myself."That is where you will be sold to the highest bidder." She said looking as sympathetic as a vampire could look.I cocked my head to the side trying to communicate with my wolf but that seemed to be the most impossible thing still. She hadn't spoken to mI turned to run but stopped when I caught a glimpse of the short pistol levelled at my head.Delilah's pistol was levelled at me while smirking, "where do you think you are going?"I stood transfixed while staring helplessly at the point of the gun pointing at my temple."Let her go Delilah," the unknown man said as he delivered a killing blow at the guard. The ambitious guard who identified himself as Tommy collapse on the floor out cold."Who is she?" Delilah asked, I sighed in relief figuring out that she did not recognize me." My Business, so out of the way," the man said and removed Delilah's pistol from my face.I started following the man out of the house. We stepped out of the palace and rushed over to the parking lot, a black SUV was parked at the far end of the parking lot, with the black SUV being the only car at the lot I rushed over to it and opened the door to step in but when I noticed that the man who saved me wa
A few weeks later.Theodora (Ashley) POVI was standing in the front of a giant mirror while glaring at myself, I had not yet gotten over the truth that my wolf is dead.Save for the gift of the egg that Lord and lady Percival gave me, I would have been companion-less, though the Cub has not spoken to me yet but I was still hopeful that the it will one day grow up and be the same with me.I had been training all weeks and then Cub was really growing up faster than a normal animal. Though the little Cub would not let me be apart from him.It happened one time when I left the little animal to sleep on my bed and went out of the room get coffee, the distance created between me and the little beast woke it up. And it started searching for me immediately.Out of curiosity, I had asked the question that was on my mind since Lord Percival gave me the Phoenix's essence."Are you... You are not vampires?" I had asked staring deep
Without wasting much of your time we will start by hearing what the juries think." My heart was beating faster than I can say, this is the ticket to my freedom, I hope I don't screw up."Let's welcome the judges and juries of tonight's competition, give a round of applause to them. " He gestured towards the judges and juries table at the outer part of the stage."Dr Ian Jade is one of the juries let's start with him," a dark man in a dark brown tux, adjusted the collar of his tux before speaking softly, from the way he moves I could tell that he was a very powerful man."I will just go straight to the point, I think the fourth castle has all that it takes," he said."Can you please elaborate?" The announcer said."What I mean is that the fourth castle is magnificent, it is spaciously huge, beautiful, and more modern than all the other four." I looked at the screen and noticed that I was number two."He is totally sold off that th
"I will do everything in my power to make sure my mother become the queen of Storm-cloud," he said "anything at all,"He pressed my back against the pole and started suffocating me until everything began to get blurry, tears were already spilling down my left cheek."No I don't want the throne, I just want to make my son proud, I am Emery by the way"Those words echoes in my mind as I slowly began to loose consciousnessJust as I was about to totally pass out, I saw another hooded figure at the back of the man that attacked me.But instead of standing as a guard over the door, the golden masked figure grabbed the silver masked figure and yank him away from me.I gasped as air began to flow back into my lungs, my life flashed before me, collapsing on the bare floor gasping in the desperate need of chilled water.I looked up to face the two hooded figure who were now fighting it off with their magic. I wondered if the gold
"So how did you found this pub?" I couldn't help but asked the question that was on my mind ever since Gilda told me that she own the bar with Serena."Funny I was hoping you wouldn't ask that question," she laughed softly while playing with Serena's brown hairing."Why?" I was now more curious."Well let's just say, you know what never mind, I will just tell you how the ol lady pub came into the world." She took a huge swig of the wine and cough after chocking on the wine. "How about I tell you that story next time? Huh?" She said and rest her head on Serena's.Being the third wheel on this particular date and also being the only one who's is still wide awake and partly drunk, I stood up from my seat and went to the dance stage, obviously not interested in the fighting going on down below.Dancing with different stranger at will clearly not in charge of my body anymore, the drinks have taken charge."Can I have t
Staring at the beautiful face that has always made my mind go into frenzy, even though she betrayed me at one point, even though she kidnapped me, I couldn't help it I couldn't help but wonder how someone so beautiful could be my enemy."Charlotte??" I asked to be sure it's been a month since she betrayed me but the memory was no longer there."Sorry about that... I mean that wasn't my name I am sorry I lied to you," she said softly."What do you mean... No don't answer that please..." I was rambling before I knew it."Hey, hey take a deep breath in," she demonstrates, "just like this."I complied, taking in a deep breath and holding it in, waiting for her to say anything else. She didn't but I was suddenly feeling a lot better."I feel better, thank you," I said gratefully.She offered her hand out for me to take and stand up, "are you ready to meet the queen?" She asked a hesitant look settling on her pretty face.
jumped down from the bed as soon as I caught sight of the assassin from earlier this night, I found out he was the one making the plans by his hand gestures."Are you alright there wolf pup?" Charlotte's... I mean Isabella's voice cut through the door like a sharp sword making me jump in surprise.I composed myself and replied in a hushed whisper, "they are here!" "I know," her voice was shaking and I feared that if she was afraid then we are doooooooomed."Are you alright? you sound scared?" I was concerned at her shaky voice so that was why I asked."Yeah I am fine, just worried they will got to you before I could... can I come in?" She asked."Yes come in, but I hope you are prepared for a fight there are many of them." I said relief washing over me at her reassuring voice."I am prepared to do anything for you... err I mean I am prepared to do anything to survive." She scratched the back of her neck.On a n
"That leaves us with two suspect, "Get ready we are going to pay Delilah a visit."Delilah is hosting a masqurade ball tonight and I have got an invitation card from one of the assassin." The guy (Jake) said."Perfect, perhaps we could kidnap her in the middle of her ballroom?" Isabella was being sarcastic."I was just suggesting, if you don't like my opinion just ignore it." He retorted angrily, glaring at me."Hey! She was not the one you..." "Quiet everyone, " the queen commanded with an air of authority as a hush fell on the room immediately. "We are not here to bicker, we are here to find a solution to our problem." She said making eye contact with me.I stared back at her oblivious to every thing else that was going on in the room, I couldn't help but think there is a connection between us. "... We will go in there and save her...." Was the word that brought me back from the moment."Sorry I might have zoned out and missed a few words do mind repeat what you were saying?" I
"Someone is in the shadow... I think they are one of the assassins!" I said making to grab the Queen's hand.Stopping abruptly she whirl around and glared at the spot my hands were pointing at.Her face scrunched up in anger before she grabbed my hand and started pulling me into the compound, " He is not alone, there are many other we need to look for... " She stopped as her words hung up on her lips."What is happening?" I peered over her shoulder to get a clearer view of what had her stopping mouth aja in the middle of her tracks.Isabella sat with a few regally dressed men and women, her back turned to us."We have to leave this town right now," her grip tightened on my hand as she dragged me down to were Isabella was seated at."RED." She informed Isabella but she stared up in confusion, taking another look at the woman I realised that she was not Isabella the queen must have noticed too as she quickly apologize.
Isabella and her mother are back, what do I do now, I don't want to imagine the kind of look I might get if she finds out her best friend was devoured by my beast.I heard another few footsteps followed by the Queen's voice; "Is she still sleeping, the masquerade ball is in two hours." "I think we should let her sleep in as much as she could, she hadn't slept a wink since last the day before.Their footsteps started retreating, the sound of their graceful footsteps echoing down the hallway and I sighed a relieved sigh."Dont worry about this, I will take care of it," said slugger reassuringly.I sighed and looked at my reflection in, I looked great in the pale blue gown I was wearing, my make up was a little roughed up but all in all I was good to go.Hastily washing off the ruined make up, I stepped out of the room ready to hit the ball. Isabella and her mother were already dressed in a matching red gown.There back wa
"Oh we could arrange that, is it doggy style you want or... don't worry I have a lot of time but first let me use you as my first tester." He said and raised the needle to stab it into my neck.Expecting the harsh spindle of the needle to penetrate my neck, I braced myself for the impact or possibly death that might come with it.But I was surprised after a few minutes of closed eyes and it never came, I opened my eyes to take in the recent happening.A golden furred lion was standing behind the psychopathic Jake, clutching desperately at the right hand that was holding the injection aimed at me.It was the lion that Lord Percival gave to me, or should I say the Phoenix's egg. The lion stared at me obviously waiting for further instructions, but the soft female voice that ranged through my mind made think otherwise." Little old pretty lady, Should I eat him? I am hungry," I turned around to the side that I thought the voice was coming from but I didn't see anything."Are you talking
"Finish her off lady Bug, a voice that sounded like that of the man from earlier said through her walkie talkie that was on the floor besides me.The assassin bent over and picked up my axe raising it up high and bringing it down at me.I rolled out of the way in surprise before standing up with a rage I glared at her and reached for the last dagger on me.I waited for her to turn around before I stabbed the blade into her heart, she clutched on to me as the axe fell off from her hand and landed with a clatter on the floor."This is not the end, more are coming and more are also outside, you can't kill them all... You are only wearing yourself out." "You are wrong," a voice said from outside it was the voice of my sister Susan.I turned around to face, she was marching into the room with a few dozen of armed soldiers trailing behind her all of them are masked.The soldiers all scattered around to fight against the assas
Is that really you?" I asked staring into the empty space while communicating with my wolf."It is me, you should prepare for labor, we are going to have our baby in less than a month," I looked down at my body to see my stomach... Only to see that there is no baby bump."You are lying, right?" I aborted the baby, how can I still be pregnant?.""I don't know gat ready to fight, the demons are over powering the queen and her daughter." She said to my utmost surprise."How come you know everything and I don't?" She scoffed, "because you ain't paying attention to your surroundings. Now look to your left their is a Hunter out fit there," "What do I do with it?" I asked turning to look at the out fit, I was not about to leave the two women who are fighting for me to die alone."You can eat it, no eww that will be gross you can shove it up your but, what do you think people do with clothes?" She asked, she seemed to have r
