"This is a safe space," he said calmly. As I listened to the sounds I felt calmer. "Don't let go Skylar," he said tearfully. "I'll try not to," I said leaning back on him. He hugged me and laid back down. The grass felt softer as his hands hugged me tighter. "I've decided when the wedding will be," he said calmly. "If I marry you all the hate will go away," he said softly. I looked at him with soft eyes.
"I don't want to lose you," he said softly. As he played with my hair I met his eyes. "Leo," I said softly. "What's up Sky," he answered. "I feel like you shouldn't have to deal with me," I mumbled. "I deal with you because I love you Sky," he said softly. "I can hear your mumbles it's just the first time I pretended not to," he said calmly. I looked in shock as he said. "You heard me," I said frantically. He nodded his head and smiled.
"It's okay," he said patting my head. I smiled and hugged him. He sighed and asked me to follow him. He brought me to a medium sized home. It had three stories, eight bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a kitchen on every floor, along with a living room on every floor.
"Cmon," he said signaling me to come in. "You'll stay here till our wedding," he said in a modest tone. I nodded my head and looked around. Suddenly a maid walked up to me. "You must be Skylar oh how I've always dreamed of meeting you," she said excitedly. "My name Roslyn," she said cheerfully. "Now, now Roslyn let's let lady Skylar relax," a voice called out. "Leo what is all this," I said stunned. "Well this is my safe house," he said calmly.
"Sir what about your children," the guy asked. "Jaxson, is the nursery ready," Leo said calmly. I found out that the butler's name was Jaxson. "Yes sir the nursery is ready," Jaxson said pleased. Leo smiled and went into a portal. When he came back he handed me Primrose and Victoria. Meanwhile he held Ocean in his hands. As Leo showed me to the nursery I gasped at what I saw. The nursery had been decorated in a light pink color meanwhile the windows had a white drapes on them outlined in gold.
"I've already alerted Rose of the situation," he said calmly. As we set the children in the cribs he smiled a little. "Thank you Leo," I said softly. He kissed my forehead. "Skylar, you don't understand. I'll do anything I can do to save you," he said calmly. I brushed his hair out of his face and smile.
As Leo walked away from the room he took me with him. "Skylar," he said calmly. I looked up at him and for the first time I felt safe. "I need the names of everyone who hurt you," he said coldly. I shook my head and held my hands together. "No Leo, I can't do it," I said softly. "Why not," he said frantically. "Because I don't know what'll happen to them," I said softly.
He sighed and kneeled down. "I'll ask you one time or I'll do it by force. Who hurt you," he said coldly his eyes glared at me. I started shaking because I didn't know this side of him. "Fine you give me no choice," he said coldly. He summoned a sword while his outfit changed. "While you were getting hurt at the castle I became the official king of the leopard clan," he said coldly. I stared at him with fear in my eyes. "Rose and Amelia are aware I'm on my way to the castle. Rose is prepared to kill a few people as well," he said his eyes staring me down.
I felt a bolt of fear hit my body. I could feel myself shaking hard. He put his hand on my shoulder, as he looked into my eyes. "I'm sorry Sky but something has to be done," he said coldly. Just then his sister came out of a portal. "Leo are you ready," she said excitedly. "I'm about to ruin a lot of people's lives. They wanna mess with Skylar they get to deal with me," she said excitedly. "Let's go," he said as he threw on a cape.
I watched them disappear into a portal I knew this wouldn't end well. Before they were completely in the portal Leo brushed the hair out of his face and smirked. His sister waved her hand bye as they completely disappeared into the portal. "Jaxson, please can you teleport me to the castle where everyone is at," I said frantically. "No can do lady Skylar," he said politely as he bowed and walked away.
I looked at Roslyn as she shrugged her shoulders. "I can't summon a stable portal," she said softly. "If I could I would take you," she said calmly. I sighed knowing what was about to happen.

As Leo and his sister met up with Rose and Amelia they all looked prepared. Suddenly Lumia flew down and landed by Amelia. "Queen Amelia, should you really be doing this," she said frantically. "Skylar is like family to me, and I can't allow anyone to hurt her and get away with it," she said calmly. Her eyes glowed a bright yellow as she stared at Lumia. "Please you guys can't be serious. All of this death, just for one elf," Lumia said trying to reason with Rose and Leo.
"Lumia I'll ask you one time get out here and go back to where the mages are," Amelia said coldly. Lumia sighed and flew away. Little did Amelia know that Lumia was on her way to get the other mages. As rose had her sword her belt along with Leo. Amelia and Leo's sister had their powers ready. "The name's Aroura. I'm also Leo's sister," she said holding her hand out for Amelia to shake. "I'm Amelia also Rose's girlfriend," Amelia said cheerfully.
As Rose asked everyone to come to the ball room of the castle everyone was excited because Rose hadn't done this before. As Amelia shut the doors, Aroura smirked as she shut off the lights. "Everyone listen up," Rose said demandingly. "We have gathered everyone here to announce something," Rose said angrily. "Rose just skip this part and get to it," Leo said annoyed. Rose sighed and started glowing. "We've summoned y'all because of the violence going on against Skylar Heart," Rose said angrily.
As everyone's face in room went pale with fear they knew they messed up. "Please have mercy on us," a voice called out from the crowd. "And what about Skylar," Aroura said angered. "We didn't mean to hurt her," another voice called out. As Leo took out his sword everyone watched it turned a dark black. It faded into a dark purple. Aroura used her power to lift the people who started the riot against Skylar. "You see the reason why I'm not ruler of The leopard clan is because I'm the general of the army," Aroura said raising the people higher. "I can also control the leaders due to everyone's thought about their safety," she added on.
"Bring me the one who started it all," Leo said holding his sword in front of his face. "Leo that sword in channeled by your energy and power, if it turns completely black we should be concerned," she said looking at Rose and Amelia. Both Rose and Amelia nodded their heads. As Aroura set the one who started it all by Leo she could sense the anger Leo was controlling. However, she was paying extra attention to the color of his sword.
As she watched Leo walk forward she saw how the sword was fully black. She knew this wouldn't be good but if she couldn't keep her powers under control it wouldn't end well. "Now, I'll ask you one time. Why did you hurt Skylar," Leo said coldly. Rose and Amelia stood beside him staring at the man. "Because she's the reason you left," the man said frantically. "So you think you can hurt Skylar because of her and Leo's relationship," Rose said glaring at the man. Her eyes were extra fixed on the man causing him to break down.
"Isn't it true you were upset Leo had to leave because of one female," Rose said angrily. "Well yes because why should one female get to make a good man leave," the man stuttered. "Are you saying me and Skylar shouldn't be together for your sake," Leo said coldly. "No! I mean yes!" the man stuttered out. Leo smirk turned into a grin of evil. "So you think I should give up my fiancé and kids for your sake," he said in eerie tone. "Wait that's not what I meant," the man said tearfully. "Isn't it true you started this. I mean after all you were the one who suggested I should be killed right," Leo said coldly.
"And now look at you. You reek of fear and that just fulls my power," Leo laughed. "I'll do anything just let me live," the man pleaded. "I think I'll pass on that offer," Leo said evilly. As Leo raised his sword the man screamed for forgiveness but Leo wasn't listening. In one slice the mans head came off and tumbled on the floor. The crowd of people started screaming at Leo and were in distraught. "I would suggest you all in the crowd spread the word to the public that if they think about messing with Skylar they will lose their life," Leo said coldly.
As the crowd of people fled the room Aroura could feel her powers weaken. One of the monsters noticed this and used a burst of fire to hit Aroura. This caused them to fall to the ground as well as allowing them to fight. Both Leo and Rose raised their sword ready to fight no matter what. As Aroura got up she summoned two daggers. "Really sis," Leo said annoyed. "What, it's my favorite weapon," Aroura said excitedly. As she held the dagger with her magic she could sense a energy she hadn't sensed before.
"Rose Crystal stop this right now," a mage called out. In a bright burst of energy the eight mages were in the room. "This doesn't concern you guys," Amelia said angrily. "Your majesty with all due respect we were chosen to guard you no matter what," the first mage said. "Fine you leave me no choice," Amelia said rudely. As the mages braced themselves Amelia released a spell causing the mages to faint.

As one side of the room was filled with concern and terror Leo, Rose, Amelia, and Aroura stood ready to fight and kill the people who hurt Skylar. Meanwhile back at Leo's safe house Roslyn offered Skylar a chance to get back to the castle. As Roslyn summoned a portal she knew that the future of the monsters relied on if she could or could not bring Skylar to Leo. As Skylar enter the portal she could see the castle where Leo was at. As she ran out of the portal Roslyn waved bye as she teleported back to the house.
"Leo and Rose stop," Skylar called out. Everyone turned their heads to see Skylar looking frantically at the situation. Three of the six had already been killed by Rose, Leo, and Aroura. Skylar looked like she was going to cry at what she saw. One of the members of the group had saw Skylar's weakness and took aim at her. As everyone saw what was about to happen Amelia put up a protection shield to block the attack on Skylar. Leo killed the member without hesitating. As the other two knew what was going to happen to them they ended surrendering to Rose and Leo. As Leo and Rose announced what happened to the people who lead the riot against Skylar the towns and cities became aware and soon learned to respect Skylar in fear of what would happen if they didn't.
