I walked with my Uncle and Xavier who was talking Owens' ear off about everything. "Owen." Father said, pulling him back to speak to him.
"Did I say something wrong?" Xavier asked from his spot on my uncle's shoulders.
"No." Both of us said.
"Most likely he is giving him a warning to control his blood lust. He is my most dangerous knight." Uncle said.
"Then why bring him?" Uncle Icarus asked.
"Because he is my strongest knight." He grins at him.
"Of course he is." I huffed as she rubs her left arm.
"You okay?" Xavier asked me.
"Yea I am fine." I told him.
"Does your arm hurt?" He asked me.
"I am not hurt kiddo." I told him.
"Are you sure?" he asked as we walked.
"Positive." I told him.
"Okay." He said.
"LET GO OF ME!" I hear my mother yell and I take off running to get to her.
"Get off her or I will break your neck." I hissed as I held the Male by the neck who was grabbing onto my mother.
"Release me!" He snarled as my grip tightened.
"Then let my mother go." I snarl at him.
"Diana let him go." Norman said as the others caught up with us.
"Once he lets my Mother go." I said squeezing his neck a little harder.
He let her go and I let him go. "Fucking hell Elizabeth." He said, rubbing his neck.
"One it's Diana two you the fuck are you?" I snarled at him.
"Diana." Mother said. "Your uncle was making sure I didn't kill my soon to be Ex-husband."
"Uncle?" I asked as I dug through my memories. "I don't remember an uncle." I said.
"You wouldn't. He was in jail for the years you were with me." Mom said as I looked at him. My eyes narrowed at him. "He beat the hell out of someone who was trying to kidnap and rape a little girl."
That made my eyebrows raise. "Why the hell was he in jail?" Uncle Varance asked.
"Because it was still assault." Mother said. "Considering you beat him into a coma." She said to him.
"Well, that sucks. Next time you want to beat a pedophile half to death, do it on Vampire land." I tell him to pat his arm as I growl at Rayrich. "And you, I better not see you on Vampire lands again or I can not promise to keep anyone from beating you to death." I told him.
He snarled at me. "You want to try me, you little cunt?" He asked them if he had a duel-wielding ax wielder behind him looking ready to kill him his eyes glowed red with his power.
"Owens no you may not kill him." I called out to him and Rayrich looked back and then stumbled away from Owens as he smelled of fear.
"Speak ill of my Princess again and I will take your head." He hissed at him.
"You really need to work on your manors, Rayrich." Mother sighed.
"And this is why we dropped him off before we left." Father sighed.
"Talk that way to my niece again and I will rip your tongue out." Uncle Varance snarled at him.
"Okay let's keep moving." Mother said as I took Xavier from Uncle Varant who was snarling at him and Owen put himself between My and Xavier and that man.
After about 20 minutes we came to the encampment and the leader of the wild guard and 19 of his men were talking with some of the guards there.
"Caption." I said.
"My King, My Lady, Lord Arcaria." He said bowing to us.
"How is it looking?" I asked them.
"We had to chase a hoard of rats back into the forest but thanks to guarding Nick here we were able to do so easily." He said.
"Hey, I just made the thing they scared of you, the ones who did the work." He blushed.
"Thank you for your help. The Rats are nasty pieces of work." I speak to him.
"I agree with that I can say I never want to run into another one." He said with a huff.
"Will you set up camp just inside the End or here on the outside." Logan asked him.
"I am going to set it up inside the wall as that is our land and I have no want to piss off humans." Captain Gavin said as he looked at the map.
"I will help you get the tents set up before we leave." Guard Nick said.
"That would be appreciated." I smiled as I look at the others.
"What about you? Are you ready for possible damage control?" I asked them.
"Maybe not My lady with you only letting a handful in it kept the beast from really understanding that there would be easy food just outside the gate." Wild Guard Cecil huffed.
"Well, that is good." I sighed. "We are going to see about cutting a different opening in the north and to seal this area off." I said.
"That would be the smartest way to do any form of large traveling." Caption Gavin said.
"The sun will be up soon." Queen Noctis huffed. "Let us turn in." She said.
"Actually." Mother said, speaking up as she rubs her eyes. "We need to get moving soon. I understand that Vampires are nocturnal but the rest of the world is not." She reminded us.
"I am going to go grab those tents then." Guard Nick said as he left.
"Pamila please do not start." Uncle Varance hissed at her.
"Do we have anyone going with us who is overly advertised to the sun?" I asked them.
"Other than hurting eyes, no." Uncle Iracurs said. "We took that into account when selecting who was coming out with us."
"And we have you covered on the eyes." Uncle Myles said. "That is why I am here. I was delivering a bunch of sunglasses."
"Great, that means I can return these to you." I said passing Jason back his.
"Thanks." He smiled at me.
"They are the ones that are best for cutting out the glare and darkening out the most sun we can." Uncle Myles said.
"That is great, thank you." Uncle and Father said.
"Also a personal developer for you." He said handing me a small box.
"What is this?" I asked.
"I asked him to bring it." Mother said as I opened it and in the velvet were the necklaces with the dragon crest. I smiled and pulled the necklace out and set the box on the table and put the necklace on.
"Thank you." I said softly.
"So what's with the bracelet?" He asked me as the other started to move through the makeshift camp.
"It's a courtship bracelet." I said holding it up.
"Someone is courting you?" He asked me.
"Yes." I smiled at him.
"Does your mother know?" He asked me.
"Mother and Father know."
"Father?" He asked me.
"The one who is holding Xavier." I nodded to him. "He turned me and became my father." I told him.
"Is he good to you?"
"My mate or my father?" I wanted to be upset but knowing he is probably just worried about me.
"Both."
"My Father is stern but kind and my King likes to spoil me." I told him.
"King?" He asked me.
I went to open my mouth when someone came running up. "What?" I asked before they could open their mouth.
"There was a bear spotted not a half a mile from here. ANd it is heading this way." I hissed as I looked at them.
"It must have smelled us." I snarled.
"That is what I was thinking and it is on a…" A rawr made him stop and I had my sword out and turned as the bear came running at the end.
"Fuck." I growled as the Wild Guard set into motion.
"Fucking hell!" I yelled as I sent to help them.
"My Lady." The captain snapped at me.
"Yea yea." I snarled as I ducked his claws and I felt lightheaded as lightning wrapped around me and I felt her move and snarl. I hissed as I felt her peal away from my skin and she came to life and reward at the bear. The bear snarled and she roared back as she launched at it.
"What the fuck?" The captain asked and I just watched as she ripped her claws down it's face and I just blinked.
"I have no idea." I said as I hissed as the bear's claws scratched my dragon but it did not get through the scales but it still hurt. I stepped back when two bigger dragons attacked it.
"What the hell is that thing?" I heard my Mother ask.
"It's a decaying bear." I heard father as I called as much lightning as I could and took aim to stick it in the heart when there was an opening. Which I saw and it didn't take the bear down it did send it running.
"Well that was not fun." I huffed. "Alright let's get them packed up so we can leave now and I do not care what you say we need to leave before another bear comes." I snarled at both Queen Noctis and Elder Thomas.
