Flight or Fight

Chapter 1

        “ We are really sorry that we have to live our daughter with you, my King, but we will be back soon. We just must solve some problem.” The couple said, leaving the 6 years old girl with the King Isaac Ashford and the Queen Aria Ashford  of werewolf to take care. They were family friends. They never felt too much pressure or any discomfort of babysitting the little girl. They were even happy about it.
In this kind of situations they would go for a picnic or for a walk, they would enjoy their times as a family.  They even considered them part of the family.
“You know we always enjoy taking care of this little angel.” Queen Aria said, while she took the little girl’s hand and pulled her gentle towards her. The little girl even hugged her for a moment and said “Where is the prince Damian? I would like to see him.”
But her mother started scolding her gently that even if they are family, she shouldn’t speak like that to the Queen. After all They are the werewolf’s king and queen. She should speak with respect.
But the Queen wasn’t bothered at all. On the contrary, she even enjoyed it.
“At least this little girl knows how friendship works.” She said smiling while she was teasing the little girls parents. And she added “You already know where his bedroom is. Go there for now and tell him to get ready.” Queen Aria said.
“We will go for a walk down to the lake?” The little girl asked really excitedly.
She looked for a second to King Isaac to see what he would say about it. She knew the King would never say no to his mate, but still she always asked out of respect.
“Don’t make me look like a bad guy here. I know if I saw no, I would not make it alive out of here.” He said, teasing his Queen and the little girl.
“So, we are going!! Yeeeeeeyyy!!! I will go tell the prince. Thank you, my King. You’re the best in this whole world.” The little girl said with a big smile on her face while running towards the prince room.
They were laughing, seeing the little girl how fast she stormed out of their sight. She didn’t even say goodbye to her parents. But her parents weren’t bothered by that. They were happy seeing their little girl being that happy.
“You need help with something? Is it a serious problem?” The king asked, and he added “We are here if you are in any big problem, danger.” The Queen nodded to the King’s words.
“Thank you so much for your concern, my King, but it’s just our other daughter. You know that my parents took her for a week to spend time with her.” The little girl’s father said, and continued “But my Mother just sent a message saying that my daughter is not feeling well, we will go quickly see her. We feel that is something else to, but better to check.”
“If it’s someth so ing serious let me know immediately.” The king said. They just nodded and with that they left. They were worried for the other girl, but they didn’t wanted to scary the little one here. They knew that if the little girl finds out that her sister is not feeling well, she would be really worried. And in that kind of situations, she is hard to deal with. She was a little Angel, but they were situations where she was the devil in disguise. But the King and the Queen, didn’t complaint about that. They loved the challenges.
But now They had to get ready to keep the little one busy, and honestly, they were the best doing that. But before they could go get ready, King got mind linked from one of his guards that someone is there and he wants to speak urgently.
“He is here again….” The King said looking at his Queen with worry in his eye, and continued  “If he continues like this, it will not end well”.
“I will come with you. I will not let you alone.” She said and they started to go towards a small conference room. The king already mind linked the guards to bring him there.
While they were busy with  that, the little girl made it in the Prince’s Room. She didn’t even knocked on the door. She just burst in with a big happy smile on her face. The Prince Damian knew that only she would enter in his room like that. And deep down he didn’t mind at all. But he always teased the little girl. “You don’t know how to knock?” He asked her while he was on the bed, reading a book.
“When it comes to you, no!” She responded and stuck her little tongue out. Seeing this the Prince, He put the book aside and he pretended to chase her. The little girl stopped in front of the door, turned around and said “ I knew you were goanna stop there. Are You afraid to chase me?”
“Me? Afraid of you, little devil? You wish. I’m faster than you. “he said.
“Probably, but I’m smarter than you. Plus, you can’t compare your age to my age. I’m just 6. “She said pouting.
“Don’t start that... Just don’t!! I’m warning you.”  He said while looking away.
His weakness was always her pouting and the puppy eyes. He couldn’t stand seeing her like that. The little girl knew that, and she used it always in her advantage.
She started teasing him with that, and he started teasing her in other ways. So, he started running after her. But before they started running she stopped him and told him that they were going for a walk to the lake and that they should get ready.
“Oh, now you are afraid, little devil? He teased her.
“Me? Noo..” She said and she started running. He could’ve cached her, but he let her a little time. He knew not to be that competitive around her. In the end she was just 6 years old, while he was already 15.
How the little girl was running to hide somewhere, something got her attention. She heard some people were arguing badly. She was curious to see what’s happening. She never heard the Queen and the King screaming at someone. They were always polite, even with a little angel-devil like her.
She sneaks in and hide in one of the cabinets. She was peaking from there to see what’s going on. She saw the Queen standing in front of the King, like she was protecting him from something or someone dangerous. After the King pulled her behind him. How tall and big was the King, you couldn’t even notice the Queen behind him. She started to be curious who is the other person. Who made the Queen and the King so angry. She couldn’t see the man’s face, but got her attention that man’s hand. More exactly what he was wearing on his wrist and fingers. He had a big, gold ring on it, and on the ring, it was an eagle on it. And on his wrist, he had a watch, and even that one was with gold, and diamonds on it. While she was peaking from there, was trying to see that man’s features. She just noticed that he was a big, tall man, with a moon tattoo on his neck. While she was analysing the man, another thing got her attention. The man’s scent. It was something that she didn’t smell before. It was a combination between chemical and cigar smoke combined with the smell of the whisky and rotten cheese. How this combination got together I don’t know. Even she was surprized by that. 
She could smell the men’s scent, because she was laf human and half werewolf. Her father was the Alpha for the Black heart pack, while her mom was half-half, just like her.

“We end our conversation here. It’s no point continuing! You clearly don’t listen and show up here whenever you want.” The King said and he sent him away. He told him to go away and he added “And don’t you dare  threaten your Queen, my mate.”  He growled loudly. 
The little girl started panicking, but she kept quiet. She was too scared even to breath. 
“Even if I do what you will do about it? I mean, I came with a problem to you, and you don’t even bother. What kind of King are you? People shouldn’t rely on you at all. You are not worthy of that crown at all.”  The guy said.
“And who is worthy? You? Don’t make me laugh.” The King said.
“You know, I would do a better job than you.” He said, but the king Isaac cut him off “You would kill so many people-“ But didn't got a chance to finish the sentence because the men cut him off.
“Yes!! Who don’t belong here. And I would kill anyone who doesn’t respect the traditions. Humans don’t belong here; weak werewolves don’t belong here. They should die.” The guy said.
But the king had enough of him. He mind-linked the guards to come and take him away. He realised quickly what the King done and before he did what he did his last words to the King and Queen was “I thought you would understand me, you will stay beside me. We could’ve achieved so many beautiful things, but you never wanted. So, I’m sorry...” And in a split of a seconds he cut the King and Queens head.
The little girl seeing this she let out a big scream. She couldn’t believe what just saw. The King was the most powerful, so how it ended up like this? She had so many questions. But now she was afraid for her life. The guy heard it and started going towards her, where she was hiding. But luckily, he wasn’t the only one hearing. The prince Damian heard it too. He rushed to her. Before the prince Damian came in and the guards the guy opened the cupboard door and saw the little girl. He was ready to kill her to, but at that moment the guards and Damian came in. The men looked one last time at the little girl thinking how lucky she is, and with one move he was already gone.
The first thing he noticed was his parents on the floor beheaded. He was so shocked, he barely could stay on his feet. He wanted to scream, to cry but he couldn’t do it. He’s anger was too big to do it. He swore that he will punish the men who did it. But he was pulled out of his thoughts by the little girl, who was crying. He knew he had to protect her for all costs. It wasn’t just because she was a witness in this case, it was because for him it was like a little sister. She went through so much in just a couple of minutes. He was sure that it will affect all her life, and for that he wasn’t happy. He started blaming himself for this. If he would’ve just let the little girl be in his room, she wouldn’t be now here crying, being traumatised for life.
He didn’t even thought for a second, and went to hug her, trying to stop her from crying. How he was cuddling her, the little girl was holding him tight, and hiding his face. He realised she was shaking until bones. All she could say was “They…Are…Dead. He…killed..them.”  He wanted to ask so many questions, but he knew it was no use for that. The little girl barely could talk. For a few minutes she just repeated the same sentence over and over again. He didn’t wanted to pressure her at all for now.
He looked at the guards and told them to start searching in every corner of the castle, and he told to the maids to start cleaning. He took out the little girl in his arms while he was trying to calm her down “You will be okay. I will protect you.” But the little girl was to shocked to say something.
