Mythical Fights Revision

Chapter 10

I sighed as I was once again sitting on Prince's bed. I was trying to sort through everything we had learned about Ice and our own history. My father and the kings from the other two kingdoms had been apart of a war just before we were born, with a place called the Dark Kingdom. The Dark Kingdom reappeared speriodically to wage a war known as the Darkest Hour with the other kingdoms. Ice disappeared after the war was over only to reappear when it was about to begin but we still don't know how to end it permanently. All I knew was that I was involved in this now...and I felt like I was destined to be involved somehow. "You should get some more sleep...We have a long day tomorrow." Prince said as he entered the room.

"Huh? Um...Where exactly is my room?" I asked, eyeing him since no one had showed me to my quest room yet.

Prince flushed a bit as he avoided my eyes, "You're sleeping in here with me...the quest rooms aren't ready for quests yet." I stared at him in disbelief as my face turned red.

"Oh...S-Should I sleep on the bed, or do you want it?" I asked shyly.

Prince looked at me before flushing redder as he mumbled, "W-We can just share the bed."

"O-Or I c-could j-just s-sleep o-outside!" I suggested, already heading for the door. Prince grabbed my wrist without warning and practically yanked me, so I landed flat on my back on the bed, "Oof. What the..." I began only to cut myself off as Prince pinned me to the bed. I stared up at him as he stared down at me. Something was wrong with him. His eyes were...weird and I was beginning to get more afraid. "P-Prince?" I asked. He moved one hand up to my cheek causing me to flinch a little. He leaned down and I was scared so I closed my eyes.

"Yeoch!" Prince screamed in pain. My eyes flew open to see Kraken hanging off Prince's wrist, her teeth in his flesh as her little claws scratched at his arm.

"Snap out of it!" She snarled as she let go of his wrist, landing expertly onto the bed, staring up at Prince.

"W-What was I about to..." Prince looked up at me who was shaking in fear, close to crying. He gave me a pained look before looking away again and saying, "I...I think it'd be best if I sleep in my father's room tonight." He then turned around and left the room, shutting the door behind him.

"What was wrong with him, Kraken? He looked like he was...bewitched or something." I asked, my voice full of fear.

Kraken looked symphatically at me, "I think it'd be best if you get some sleep." I sighed a bit but curled under the blankets and drifted off to sleep.
