After they finished having dinner, everyone went to bed to get some rest. Mira and Anton went in one room, after getting ready for bed Mira felt as if something bad was going to happen " Anton, do you think that we will be able to find the mermaids?", she asked, " yes of course we will, bae do not doubt yourself i believe you made the right decision by bring Rumple along" he replied, she smiled " thanks for the vote of confidence, you get some rest i will be right back" she said, " come back soon okay do not wander far, or wait shall i come with you?" he said, " no do not worry i will be back in a jiff take your rest" she replied, "okay" he replied worriedly, he then kissed her, as he did that he casted a tracking spell on her, yeah he did felt weird because he casted it while kissing her on the lips and he did not want her to think that he did not trust her, the guy trusts her but he was scared that something could happen, after he did that she left and he went to bed. A few minutes later the princess went to the balcony, she began to wonder if Jeremiah would return and if she will turn dark or not, " hello dearie" Rumple said from behind her, she jumped "oh you, why are you here?" she replied " oh well i somehow caught the scent of fear, tell me why are you out here so late in the night and all alone?" he asked, " i wanted to get some fresh air and think about certain things" she replied, " Mira if you are worried about Jeremiah returning then do not bother because even if he does return and try to harm you, humph he will not leave here alive" he replied, " what do you mean?" she asked, "well you see king Robert is one of them that holds the power of darkness in the palm of his hands and Anton is his son after all, so no matter what happens he will always have a little darkness left inside of him and now that he has changed he will hurt or probably kill Jeremiah if he tries to hurt you" he replied, " i will let Anton do what he must" she replied, "good, look Mira if i were you i would do whatever it takes to protect the people i care about even if it requires killing" he said, "why do you want to help me?" she asked, " my dear it is because i know what it is like to loose people you love along with watching the people you love be in danger because you did not want to kill" he replied gently, " i am sorry you lost people because you could not do that i guess not all of the stories about you is true" she replied, he smiled at the girl "go get some rest we only have a few hours left before morning " he said. The girl listened to Rumple and went to bed, she laid quietly near Anton and slept away, while she was in a deep slumber king Robert was very angry for he had found out that Anton got away and already knew who helped him, as for Rachael and her father they left Dark City and went back home the king wanted to hurt Mira badly, a while after Mira had started to tremble during her sleep, her body had gotten ice cold, she made a mistake and turn, her hands fell on Anton's back, from the coldness he woke up and turned on the lights, he then placed his hands on Mira's face and felt how cold her body had become and how she was trembling he got scared, he sprung up from the bed and tried to wake her up but the princess will not budge, the worried prince then went to call Lily, after doing so she woke up everyone they all rushed to Mira's room but the time they got there Rumple had already arrived " what is happening to her?" Lily asked, "i am afraid the darkness is attacking her from the inside harder than before, we have a few hours until we begin our journey do not worry i think Anton knows what he has to do to keep her warm" he replied, " okay then will she be okay?" Amy asked, "yes she will be just fine" Rumple replied, "good let's leave the prince to it now" the king said, as they all went back to their rooms along with Rumple. The prince then took of his and the princess and lay next to her giving her body heat, he then took the blanket and covered himself and the girl before he slept away. In the morning when Mira woke up and saw herself naked she laughed, even though she knew nothing happened between them she took the bed spread, wraped her self up and went to take a bath, everyone had woke up already so when she finished her morning routine she went to the kitchen and got breakfast for herself and Anton, when Amy and the others saw her they were glad to see that she was okay, Amy then called out to her "Mira are you okay?" she asked, " yes i am " she replied, " we will be leaving within the hour okay is Anton up?" Ash said, " umm not as yet but he will be soon okay see you guys soon" she replied and carry the food to her room there she tried to wake up Anton but he was in a deep slumber she did not want to bother him but had no choice so she kissed him on the cheek and with the warmness of her lips her woke up smiling " good morning" she said, "good morning mama you warm enough or need more body heat" he replied, she laughed "no thanks go and freshen up and get your breakfast after we have to leave soon" she replied, "oh yeah i forgot thanks for the food do not eat without me wait up okay" he replied, she smiled, nodded and open the curtains the minute he got up, after he finished they both had breakfast and went to meet the others with their bags packed ready to go, after the were all ready the took off on their journey in carriages and the dragon transformed into his doggy form and went along too, everyone travelled together not knowing what was ahead of them.
