Queen

Chapter 23

"Your majesty," Gardan said into a deep bow.

"It is a relief to find the young princess safe and back in the royal family. No doubt she will be coming back to Neptune?"

"Um, hi." Rose said.

"Of course she will dear Allo. I see you bring news from Neptune." Replied the Queen.

"Yes, yes. It seems Gardan has with drawn his fleet and their hasn't been any word from the commanders in our fleet." Answered Allo.

"Good. Good. Now. Let us indroduce you two properly." The Queen said.

"Your highness. It is an honour to finally meet you." Gardan said into a deep bow.

"Um, yeah. Nice to meet you too." Replied Rose.

Gardan looked across toward the Queen.

"Yeah sorry. Havn't had much practise in royal greetings and all of that other stuff." Rose said.

"Then I must teach you my dear. Let us go outside." Gardan said.

"Yeah. Okay. Bye mum." Rose said

"Be careful Rose." Replied her mum.

Gardan led Rose outside into the courtyard.

"Now dear." Gardan said.

"Do you know who I am?" Asked Gardan

"Allo? That's what mum calls you." Replied Rose.

"No dear child. I am your worst nightmare."

Gardan grabbed Rose by her wrists while his guards who magically appeared tied Rose up.

"Who are you!" Cried Rose.

"I don't think we have met. I am King Gardan, King of Mercurian."

"Gardan. I should have known."

"How would you my dear. You were raised like the rest of this filthy planet. Your mother doesn't know what she has let herself into in ruling this... filth."

Gardan said.

Rose screamed as loud as she could in hope someone would hear her. Gardan led Rose to his shuttle which was about to depart for Mercurian.

"Tie her up!" Bellowed Gardan to his guards.

"Mum! Edward! Casper! Anyone!!" Screamed Rose.

"Shut her up!" Cried Gardan from the front of the shuttle.

                                 ***

"Somethings wrong," Edward said.

"They should be back by now."

"She can't of got far. This is Rose we are talking about yoir highness. Normally she is off somewhere burning things to ashes." Jackson said.

Edward stumbled around as he tried to figure out what was happening. His eyes turned a hazel colour.

"I can see her." Edward said.

"Edward. Where is she?" Asked the Queen.

"It looks like the back of an expensive shuttle. Something Gardan would

have."

"Shoot!" Cried Edward.

"What?" Asked the Queen.

"Gardan has her. They are just leaving now!"

Edward shook of the entwinment and ran towards the front of the school just as the shuttle which was carrying Rose and Gardan took off.

"Eddie." Rose whispered in Eddie's mind.

"Rose." Replied Eddie.

"Gardan has me. He is taking me back so Mercury or something."

"We are coming for you. Don't worry."

"Oh! I'm not worried about that. I am more worried that I am going into space. For the first time! You better come and get me soon. Also tell mum I am okay."

"Just, just try not to have one of your tantrums so we don't have to deal with a hurricane or something."

"As if! Just come and get me soon. Please Edward." Replied Rose.

"Edward. Where is she?" Cried the Queen.

"I can't loose her again!"

"Don't worry mother. Gardan hasen't harmed her but he is taking her back to Mercurian." Replied.

"She must be terrified!" Cried Casper.

"Only about that this is her first time in space." Laughed Edward.

"This is no laughing ng matter Eddie! Alert the fleet to with draw all forces and send for my shuttle! We leave for Neptune at once to get my daughter back!" Cried Rose's mum shouting at her guards.

"If Gardan harms one hair on her head. That will be the end if his reign for definate!" Cried the Queen shouting into space hoping that Gardan would hear her.
