72: Annie's POV
Last Updated:
2022-03-21 04:33:13Ansel says that I should assign 10 warriors to take my place as the guards for the fourth check point. I am rather flattered that he thinks I am equal to 10 warriors. That thing with the vampire's and their so called king was a fluke, they were all newly changed, and didn't know how to fight as vampire's yet.
"Ansel, can I ask you a favor?" I ask.
"Sure...? What's up?" Ansel asks.
"Well, I agree that I should be the one to tell them about the attack, and that means that I won't be able to stay as the guard for the check point... But... I don't think I can go through it, telling them, over and over again and again... I will need you with me... can you.. I mean can we both do the same thing? It is the last check point on both route's. I will be able to get to them lightening fast if anything happens at either check point. But I don't think that I can do the emotionaly stressfull parts of this whole Queen thing without you by my side." I say. Then I add in

The rest of the day passes smoothly, with me talking to Ansel on the phone most of the day. I tell him about the day my parent's told me I would never have a wolf. How heartbroken I was as a child, knowing that all of my friends would be able to join the warriors, like our fathers, they would all be able to protect the pack and I would never be of any use. That was also the day that my father decided to start training me, he saw how upset I was, and how much it ment to me to be able to protect the pack. We spent hours every day training, first in hand to hand combat, moving on from there. "There is this movie, 'The Proffesional' where a hit man teaches a little girl how to be a hit man, or he starts to, but in the movie he teaches he long range killing first. He says that each new way she learns will bring her closer and closer to the target. Meaning she will learn the knife last, and one she does she will be unstoppable. My father sort of took the opposi

The guys are all excited to show me, as the queen, that they can handle this assignment. They each take the weapons that they are most comfortable with, and I put the reast back in my car, making sure that I have a few choice options within reach while I am driving. After everyone eats we still have a few hours of driving to do tonight. We say our goodbyes to the guards and head out, I feel eyes on me, like someone does not approve of me backing out of the guard. I try not to let it bother me, since I know that they will understand once they realize why I needed to back out. We spent the night in a camp ground, we are all feeling a heady mixture of anxiety and excitment. We just want to get to the keep, so we can relax a little. This move is leaving us all out in the open, we are all in survival mode, and it is starting to wear us out. I am in and out of sleep all night, unable to get a restfull nights sleep. I have odd dreams full of very r

I gather the group for lunch, we are having chips, sandwiches, and fresh fruit for our lunch today. Once more of the groups arrive, we will be able to get some shopping done, and start eating real, home cooked meals again. I make sure everyone has some food before I stand up and walk to the center od the group. "I know that you are all wondering why I came here with you, rather than remaining at the check point like we had originally planned... Something happened, and I wanted to be the one to tell you all. Ans I wanted to give you the respect of telling you in person. But before I do, I need to give you an order.No one is to speak of this to any one outside of the Queens Keep."I say the last part in my Queen command tone. Then I take a deep breath before I continue. "I do not want this information to distract those who are still in danger and traveling. Do you all understand?" I ask them, once they agree I go on.

I wake up just as the sun is comming up, the world is bright and I wish I could roll over and fall right back to sleep, but I know that I won't be able to. Instead I look over at Ansel, watching sleep. I trace my fingers around his face, his nose, eyes, lips, I commit every detail to memory. He is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I give him a light pack on the lips and slip out from under the sleeping bag, slowly unzipping the tent, I don't want to wake Ansel, but I needs me some coffee. I zip the tent back just enough to keep the door closed, then I walk over to the closest fire pit. We have a couple dozen fire pits set up for cooking, and heat. I grab the first percolator I see, I fill it with water, placing the coffee grounds in the metal filter. I stoke up the fire, making sure there is enough hot coals to make the coffee. I wander around while I am waiting for the coffee, I see some of the children are already awake. They are trying to be q

I write down the name's of each pack member as they reach me in the line, I make sure there are at least a few people in each area. The main kitchen in the castle, plus the 7 other large kitchens, and 12 other smaller kitchens in the castle, then there are the 84 full bathrooms, and the 52 half bathrooms {these have only a toilet and sink with a small storage area.) There are also 6 public style bathrooms, 3 mens and 3 womens, they each have 7 stales. This place is huge! We haven't even started on the bathrooms yet... I shutter to think how many bedrooms there are. "I have set aside 2 large rooms for the nursery, or at least for the temporary nursery... Once it is clean I would like all of the youngest children in there so they are safe and out of the way everyone under 8. 12 and older can help with the cleaning if they are up to it, there are lots of smaller jobs that the kids can help with, checking that the fridges are getting cold, moving the food into the ones tha

"I know we are going to have to make all the big decisions eventually, but I think for the tie being we should lean on Alpha Maxwell for guidence." I tell Ansel. "Agreed, he should be givin a voice, I also think that we should make up our own council, take one representative from each of the packs that we our to rule over, that way they can have a say in things like taxes, the gala, and the army. I know we haven't talked about those things yet, but I think most every pack will be expecting each of those things..." Ansel says. "Right, taxes I have thought about, and while I don't really like the idea, I think that we must charge taxes. That way we can use the moneys to fund things like pack repairs after a rogue attack, or a fire, or other such event." I tell him. "That is a very good point, I also want to use some of the taxes for the Gala, IF the packs decide to have it, then we will need to host the event. In the past it was voted on what

Ansel heads beck to our tent for an afternoon nap, since he will need to be alert through the night he needs to rest now. I keep telling myself that this is just for today, and after today the schedule will be different and I will not have to be away from Ansel so much. It is not helping though... My heart hurts being apart from him, I know its only for a few hours, but our Amore bond was was damaged before it even had a chance to grow... Because of the nature of the bond it has a will of its own, it WANT'S to be forged, it is trying to push us together. To be honest, if we were not so busy with the merge, the move, and the start of a war, then the bond would have worked its will over me much faster and more easily. As it is I am spending the afternoon sitting on the wall, one of the warriors on duty here has a wife who went into labor about an hour ago. I took over for him so that he could go be there for the birth of his child. I don't know what it is l

Alpha Maxwell came up to sit next to me, we have never been super close, but he has always trusted me to do what was best for the pack. I know that he is feeling an aweful lot of emotions at the moment, so I am not sure how this private meeting of ours will go. I have not even had the time to thank him properly for coming to save us from the witch and her army."My Queen, my I make a request before we talk?" He asks."Of course, what is it?" I ask, I am conserned with his tone, he sounds nervous about something."Well, I was hoping that you would be okay with, when we are alone, we could drop the titles and just speak normally? As family?" He asks me."Uncle Maxwell, that is what we have always done... Why would that change now?" I ask him."Now that you are the Queen, I was worried you might not like it anymore... But I was really hoping that we could still be like family." Maxwell says."Agreed, we are f

I turn to Ansel, not sure what to do about this vampire who has tried to kill me multiple times suddenly claiming to give me his alegence. *Give him an order, say a few orders out loud, but only put your authority into one, maybe that will help us know if he is lying..?* Ansel tells me through the mind link. I nod, then I turn to this vampire king to give my orders "Stand on your feet, spin around, tell me your name, touch your nose" Only a werewolf, vampire, witch, or other person magicly bound to me would be able to tell which one of these orders was the one with power behind it. But, as I speak the vampire does rise to his feet, he is slow to follow my second command, I can see he is thinking it through. The moment I give the order for him to tell me his name he follows the order without hesitation. "I am Samuel Keith Singer, King of the Vampires." He tells us. Before I can say anything else Ri'elle rushes out into the hall, he takes in the scene around him, his fingers are twi

Many in the pack are against the idea of a pack member adopting a child who is not a werewolf. They do not say so directly to me, but I can feel the stare's as I walk around with Nicky trailing behind me. I think that if I was anyone else besides the queen they would be much more vocal about their disapproval, or maybe it is because they can sense that Nicky is not human, so they figure he will not pose as much of a threat to the pack that a normal human would. Either way, I have decided to address the pack at dinner tonight. I want everyone to know that Nicky saved my life, but I also need them to know that he is MY child, and if anyone tries to hurt him they will have to go through me. Once everyone has taken their seats I call them to attention and introduce Nicky to the pack as my child. Ansel stands to his feet and addresses the pack. "He is OUR child. I know that a lot of you are going to find this odd... adopting a child from outside the pack is... uncommon to say the lea

I quickly untie the ropes from my legs, but I stay where I am on the ground, knowing my legs will be to shaky to hold me up. My Ansel suddenly apears, jumping over the limo, taking the vampire king down to the ground in one move. Then he takes the kings head off in one bite. The rest of my warriors are here now, fighting vampires on all sides. I watch in horror as one of my warriors move in, to attack Nixie, I jump to my feet and place myself inbetween Nixie and the warriors. The warriors stop dead in their tracks, tilting their wolfish heads at me, tying to understand why I am stopping them from saving me. "No, he is with me... He saved me... He is just a baby..." I pant out. The warriors nod and turn back to the vampires to finish killing the last of them. Nixie trasforms again, this time he is a pure white horse. He walks over to me and nudges his head under my arm, helping me stay on my feet. With Nixie's help I climb onto his back, and I ride on his

Over the next two days the whole pack pulls together to help the towns around us. We work our way down the street from the pack castle into the town, once we reach the edge of town each house that we pass we check for people in need of help. There was a lot of flooding in this area so we make is a point to check every house for the injured or trapped people. Most people evacuated the area before the storm hit, so many of the houses are empty, but we search them all anyways. This storm was predected to be more on the mild side, so people expected to be gone from their homes for only a few days, because the roads are not passable people can not return. We find some pets in houses alone, when we find a pet in an empty house we leave a note with a phone number and we take the pet back to the castle to be fed and taken care of until their families return. I want to lead the pack as we clear the roads, but the warriors of the pack insist on keeping me surrounde

It takes the whole pack working together for three days to get the whole castle and grounds cleaned up. Thanks to the warriors and other pack members who boarded them up, most of the windows are fine. But a lot of trees came down, and a few of them landed on some of the buildings on the grounds. The larger brick buildings are largely okay, a couple of them need new roofs put in. It is the smaller wooden buildings that took the most damage, a couple of them will need to be completely demolished, and a few others will need some major renovations to be usable again. I spend my days cutting the fallen trees into logs, so they can be moved out of the way of the rest of the clean up efforts. Once that is done I split the logs into fire wood. My back and shoulders are killing me after a two whole days of splitting and stacking logs. Ansel spends his days loading our dump trucks with pieces of the broken buildings, the warriors dump the debry from the trucks in one big

I know that I already agreed to help Ri'elle with his spell, and I will, but the thing is... After the regular spell work part of it...Ri'elle says in order to seal the magic I need to kiss Ansel. I have never done a spell that requires love kiss in order to seal the magic, but he says that this spell needs it. I know he would not lie to me, and I will do the magic he needs me to, the thing is that I think this spell maybe too advanced for me. I wish that Ri'elle was well enough to work the spell himself. Ansel walks with me in silence to our room, I am thankful that he lets me walk without talking because I need the time to sort out my feelings about this spell, and also to work up the courage to try this spell since I am not a full witch and my not have enough experience to work this spell.Once we make it to our room I ask Ansel to sit on the bed quietly so I can make myself ready for the spell. I change into a pure white dress, then I cleanse the space by burning sage. I finish s

"Micheal, thank you for meeting me here. I didn't want to leave her alone while she is still asleep...Something strange happened last night, and it wasn't the first time... There is something wrong with her..." I tell him in a low voice. "Okay, slow down and start from the beginning." Micheal tells me. "Okay, well... You know when we marked each other, tight?' I ask him, he nods and I go on. "Well, then on the first night we stayed in this room she made a big deal out of having sex, like it was the first time. And then she marked me again, and she had the same reactions to the marking as the first time." I tell him, then I pause and take a deep breath, I hate that I have to talk to Micheal about our sex life. "Okay, but that was 2 nights ago, so what happened last night that made you call me here so early in the morning..?" Micheal asks me. "She did the same thing, she initiated sex and then acted like it was the first time again. At

I follow Micheal as he takes me on a tour of the worst of the wounded. There are only a few people who got hurt badly enough to need to see a doctor, a few warriors where on the stairs when they passed out and as a result they fell down the stairs. One older man fell onto his tool box giving himself a concusion, and a few other fell in similar way. There is a total of 8 broken bone's and 3 concusions. Plus the 5 mothers who went into labor as a result of the stress from passing out the way they did. There was a total of 544 pack memebers effected by the spell, and only 18 people where hurt or effected badly enough to need to seek medical attention right away. The other 526 people have been givin the order to report to the hospital wing within the next 2 days, refusal to do so will result in punishment. I hate the idea of threatening the pack members, but this is how things are done, and everyone knows that I hate doing it, so they know to really listen when I do make t

I rush to the west tower, I have a bad feeling that something went wrong on Ri'elle's end. I race up the stairs and burst into the room, I find Ri'elle in the center of the room, spiritual energy fills the room, he is covered in his own blood, it looks as though the spirits are trying to rip him apart limb from limb. I know that if I siply rush to him the connection will be broken and his spell will backfire onto him completely. Right now I am thinking that maybe the spirits simply do not like the offering that he used. I skirt around the edges of the room, being carefull not to touch any of the silks. I make my way over to the rabbits in their cages, I reach in and take out one, I slit its throa and coat myself in its blood, saying a quick cleansing ritual as I do. Then I take a few cautious steps towards Ri'elle, then the door bursts open again and I see Ansel with some warriors right behind him. "STOP!" I order. "Leave, go check on the pack, if you touch any
