Her mother sighed and shook her head yes. Helena could tell her mother was not at all fond of this idea. Her only daughter to dress up and go to the enemies ranks. Hoping she will come back alive. Helena smiled and spoke again. "Rest assured mother I shall come back home." she turned and started walking out of the great hall. The very hall that she grew up in. The room where they kept pictures of the old vampires that were not alive anymore. For years she could only imagine her own picture hanging in that hall. To be seen as a great vampire that has accomplished something worthy of her portrait. She started out in to the hallway from the great hall. The purples and golds dancing in the fire light. Casting shadows on the ornate items in the hallway. She started to sense some one was following her. She decided to not glance back and kept walking bowing at the guards as she walked by. She got to the grand marble staircase and was about to step onto the first step when a hand shot out of no where and grabbed her.
She immediately turned to find her brother, the prince, had grabbed her arm.
She spoke first, "Halien, why did you grab me? Let go I have to get things ready." "Sister, no why do you have to do this? You know mother will be upset till you return."
"I have to do this because it is for our kingdom, our people, and also I want my image in the great hall." "You do not have to risk your life like this. You do not have to prove yourself to us. We know how special your are to us and our kingdom sister." said Halien.
Helena just stood there listening to her brother. She pondered why he was being so caring all of a sudden. For years he always acted like she was a pain in his side. She never believed he would fill so strongly for her risking her life.
"Halien, let me ask you something. Why are you against this idea? You have never given me any idea that you care about me or anything I do."
"The thought of you going alone into werewolf territory bothers me. How can I let my only sister do this. How can you think this is right?"
"How can you not? It is our place to protect the kingdom at all cost!"
With that final sentence Helena turned and walked away from Halien. Why does he have to act as though she doesn't know what she is doing. I was apart of all the martial arts and combat training that he was. She might not be the fastest or the strongest like him but she knows she is able to do this. The prophecies say there is to be one vampire royal that will be able to join the two clans together or it will be total devastation for all of them. She had to complete this. She has to accomplish something in her life time. After walking up the steps to the second floor. She headed to her bedroom where she will do the rest of her planning in silence.
