Ruby's POV
~Next morning~
We all wake up in the morning and started getting ready for the training. We meet each other at the training ground and wait for people to join us. After waiting for about an hour, people started to crowd the training grounds. I pulled out the horn speaker and speak through it "May I have all attentions please?" I said as the people stopped talking and looked at me. Liz, Ethan and Andrew stand beside me as I continued "Okay, we all know the reason why we're all here right?" they nodded "Let's get started then" I said. "Okay, first, let me introduce you to our member's here. My name is Ruby or as you all know, Prince Andrew's mate" I looked at Andrew smiling at me. I can't help but smile back at him. I looked back at the crowd "My specialty is with a dagger and sword. Next, we have my best friend Liz" I said looking at Liz now. She smiled at me "Her specialty is with her bow and arrows" The crowd begin to whisper. "Then, we have your prince, Prince Ethan and Prince Andrew. Their specialty is skill with swords and of course, skills in their wolf form" I said
"Now if that's clear, we will start our training now. We've prepared all the fighting weapons in the side of the training grounds. Each of you must choose at least one of them. If you're done, please move to the plot we have settled. There are four plots : 'Swords' Trained by me, 'Knifes' Trained by Liz, 'Nunchucks' Trained by Ethan, and 'Ninja skills' Trained by Andrew. You can start taking your weapons now" I said as the crowds begin to move to the side to take their weapons. After some time, people started to go to their plots and wait for us to join them "Okay guys, this is where we split up" I said "Yep, goodluck" Liz said "See you guys around then" Ethan said putting his arms around Liz who is starting to walk away to kiss her 'Goodluck'. Andrew turned to me "I'll see you later then" He said kissing my cheek "Yeah" I smiled before walking away to my plot.
We all started training people in their plots. Some of them are good at it and some, not so much. I challenge some of them to fight me to see their progress. I teach them how to use a sword properly. In the middle of training, two guards ran inside to me and said "My lady, there's another ambush" One of the guards say out of breath. People gasps as I looked at them. "Okay everyone, This is where you fight for real. Use the skills I teach you just now and fight with me" I said. They all looked at me terrified. I march outside to see Liz, Ethan, and Andrew already outside with their plot member. Each shouting at them to fight with us. I looked behind me to see my people gathering in their weapons. Liz take my horn speaker and said "Okay everyone, now is the time where you all learn to fight in real life. There is no more 'sorry' or 'Opps' This is real life and I wish you a goodluck and also thank you for helping us in this battle. This is the time where you show your true self. Now who's with me?" The crowds raise their weapons and roar in excitement.
We all marched to the battle and widened our eyes at the chaos. We all ran and started using our skills we have. The people fight really well and helped us a lot. Ethan and Andrew are in their wolf forms by now ripping off some of the rogues. I looked at the guard beside me and shouted "Protect the king and queen" I shouted. They looked at me and nodded before running to the medical hut. I then looked at Liz using her bow with not many arrows left. I quickly ran to her plot and took some of her arrows. I put them in her bag of arrows as she looked at me "Thanks" She shouted. I nodded at her and flung one of my daggers to one of the rogues chest. I ran towards him and rip out my dagger. I looked to the front and use my sword to pin one man to a nearby tree. I then looked to the side to see the queen and king already been evacuated.
I didn't see behind me but I feel someone. I slowly turned around to see someone standing infront of me. I looked up to see a piercing blue eyes as he choked me. I struggled against his hold as he lifted me to the air. He whispered to me "I'm sorry" I looked at him out of breath when I heard Liz screaming "Ruby!" She ran towards me but a bunch of rogue blocked her way. She screamed again "Andrew! Help Ruby!" She shouted as Andrew's head shot up. His eyes widened at me and quickly turned to a furious look. He ran to me and pounce at the man infront of me. He let me go and I drop to the forest floor before I blacked out.
Andrew's POV
I was fighting a rogue when I heard Liz shout "Andrew! Help Ruby!" I shot my head up to see Ruby being choked by a man infront of her. My eyes widened before it turned furious. I ran towards her and pounce at the man infront of her. The man let her and she drop to the forest floor. My eyes turned more furious at the sight of her not moving. I turned to the man and started scratching at him. "This is what you get when you hurt my Ruby" I growl at him in my mind. Liz ran up to Ruby and started shaking her. "Ruby, bestie, wake up" she said. My attention turned from the man to Ruby. When I turned back, he was already gone. I looked for him but he leave no track. I tried to smell his scent but I smell nothing. Weird. I turned back to Ruby. I switch to my human form and reach out to her. Liz stepped aside and fight the rogues that are still fighting us. I hold Ruby in my arms "Ruby, Sweetheart, wake up" I said. I looked up to the sky before looking back at her "Wake up" I whispered. Ethan came to us and fight beside Liz.
I put my head to Ruby's shoulder "Please, wake up" I pleaded. Liz and Ethan came beside me to look at Ruby. "Bestie..." Liz said touching Ruby's arm. "What happened?" Ethan said "There's a man choking her before. I pounce at him and she just dropped to the floor unconscious" I said looking down at her as tears started to form in my eyes. "I'm sure she'll be okay" Liz said looking at her "How is she okay Liz? She just got choked by some random guy and now she's unconscious. How do you know she's okay? She's literally-" I shouted at her "Andrew!" Ethan shouted at me "She's just trying to help. You don't have to be so mad about it" He glared at me. "I'm sorry, I just lost it when I see Ruby hurt" I looked down disappointed at myself. "It's okay, let's just take her to the medical hut with the others" Liz suggested "Okay" I said lifting Ruby up as we all started walking.
