I sat there for another good moment, then I heard footsteps. They we're heavy, and getting louder by the second. Echoing throughout the giant hallways and rooms, I recognized them. Its my fucking Father.

"Let go- it's my father!"

I was trying to push myself off of her, but she just pulled me closer, trying to calm me down but the only thing it did was make me panic even worse..

He can't see this, he can't! The footsteps. They stopped.

I looked up at Harmony, he's here. I can tell because she's looking up at something. My heart is beating out of my chest, my mind is racing.

What will he do to us? Will he hurt me, will he hurt Harmony, I can't let him do that, it's my fault, i jus-

"Isabella. I thought you were training guards today."

"I-I am! We were just taking a little break!"

"Mmm. Get back to training girl. You don't have all day, and fix your hair."

I noticed Harmony looked ticked off, I was going to tell them to not say a word but before I could say anything she snarled at him,

"How about you fix your hair and then you can say that. It looks like shit. Just like your personality, go look at yourself in the mirror and if it cracks. You got your answer. Shut up"

I looked at my father. He was absolutely appalled that Harmony had the audacity to talk back to him. His paw mark upon his cheek turned red, just as my sisters would if she was angry.

"Excuse me? Who do you think you are! Its the king you're talking too. I can have you executed faster then you can blink. Isabella, keep your guards in check."

"You don't scare me old man. Stay in your lane before you get punched back into the 1900's. Earn some respect for people and you'll get it back. A bit of advice for you before it backfires."

Fuck. This can't go on, I give myself one final push and I'm free of Harmony's grasp. I run over to my Father and start apologizing for everything that just happened, speaking at a hundred words a second. To afraid to do anything but apologize at this point.

"Im so sorry Father they- they didn't mean any of that, we'll get back to work I promise, you won't have to che-"

"Stop apologizing, Jackson."

I recognize that voice.. It's Mum! Father looked frightened and turned to face her.

"And haven't I told you not to bother him anymore.. Marcus?"

Mother finally came into view, I haven't seen her in a while.

She has a lighter skin tone then me. The same mark on her face that I have, eyes also being inverted to the patches of skin. But she has the cat like pupils instead. Same hair colour too. She also has long elf ears and the cat ears on her head. Shes the only one of the two wearing her crown. Hers is white with black details while my father's in the opposite. She's shorter and younger then my father, but a hell of a lot more scary.

"Y-yes. You did. But I don't see why, she sho-"

"HE, can do whatever he wants. You are a pathetic excuse for a person. Jealous your son is more of a man then you aren't ya? Maybe get some lessons from him soon."

"Isabella is not a ma-!"

"DO NOT. Say what I think you are about to. Jackson is who he is and you have to except that. Otherwise the one getting executed will be you. I don't know why I even try with you at this point."

She walks closer to my father, and whispers something in his ear before smacking him arcoss the face. The noise it made echoed throughout the halls louder then his footsteps from before did.

"Im sorry.."

"Too bad. Get your ass in that room, I will deal with you momentarily."

She point to the room she just came from, Father walked slowly behind her and into the room.

Mother walked over to me and gave me a hug. I stood there in shock for a moment. 

"I'm so sorry Hijo, you don't deserve to have to deal with him. Next time he says something to you please come and get me."

"Esta bein, Mama."

"Good. Now, whos this? "
