The Prince's Demon [Completed]

18- shut up and fly

I look down and see him falling too. I spin and dive down, my wings pulling in. I quickly catch up to him, wrapping my arms around him and spreading my wings to catch the wind. We are yanked up and floating in the air.

Alex is breathing heavily and rests his head on my shoulder. His body goes slack. I lower us to the floor and look around. We are on hard packed dirt and surrounded by walls of more dirt. My feet are in a small stream and I hear the faint noise of a waterfall.

Canyon! He dropped us in a damn canyon! That little bastard!

I pull away from Alex and sprint down the narrow path and notice the canyon ends with another waterfall. I groan and look down. Too far of a drop to jump.

I run back to Alex and he is sitting on the floor with his head in his hands. He looks up before he speaks, "Are you okay?"

"As of right now, yes." I tell him, crouching down and placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Can you get us out of here?"

I look up. I spread my wings out and think of going up. They begin to beat and I come off the ground. I fly a few dozen feet and sit on the ledge. I can carry him up this I think. I drop down and use my wings to land gracefully.

I offer my hand to him. He takes it. "What about your bag?"

"I can always get new clothes. I can't get a new human." I give him a smile. He relaxes and I begin flying up with my mate's hand in mine.

I set him on the ledge and he backs away from it. I pull my wings in and see they didn't harm my tank top. They rest against my back like bird's wings rest on their side. I try to pull them in tighter and they become a tattoo. My eyes widen and I feel my back to feel normal skin.

"I know where we are at." Alex suddenly says. He is looking around.

I look at him. "Where?"

"The canyon by the edge of my father's kingdom. I was taught to remember my surroundings." He explains sheepishly.

I smile and grab his hand. "That's a good thing. Care to lead the way? I need to speak to my mother."

Alex smiles back and nods. He begins tugging me towards the north.

°•°•°

"Could we fly there?" Alex asks after 3 hours of walking.

He is breathing heavily and slowed down measurably. I stop and he doubles over to catch his breath. My back tingles and I shake my shoulders, my wings emerging fluidly. I smile and stretch them out.

Alex looks up and gives me a small smile. I wrap my arms under his arms and begin flying. His legs kick out for support while I laugh.

"I'm not going to drop you on purpose." I tell him.

He glares at me. "Shut up and fly."

I laugh and do as he says. We get to the edge of his kingdom and arrows start flying at us. I begin to panic. I don't know how to fly from these!

"Ash! We have to walk to the border. Go down." Alex says calmly.

I lower us to the ground and pull my wings in until they become the tattoos. Alex grips my hand in his and begins walking towards the border.

I stumble after him. "I thought you were out of breath?"

"That was before I got the life scared out of me when you decided to carry me like a sack." Alex snaps.

I flinch and pull my hand from his grasp. "Go ahead without me. I need to go."

Alex turns and looks at me. "No, you are coming with me."

Something stirs in me. Half of me wants to go but the other half wants me to leave him.

Demon versus angel. That's the battle going on inside of you right now.

Alex reaches his hands toward me. "Come on. Before they start to find me."

"No, go ahead. I have to talk to someone." I insist.

He frowns and grabs my arm roughly. I growl at him as he drags me along. We get to the border and I see all the guards running towards me with iron weapons. I snarl at them, my demon taking control.

My back twitches and my wings unfurl. I crouch down and snarl at them all.

"Get Alpha Ethan and his mate!" Alexon yells over my snarling.

A few guards run off while the others circle us. My wings spread out to their max while my marks are glowing.

I probably look scary as shit right now.

"Don't attack!" Three voices yell.

Three?

I see something land in front of me and notice it's Keyon.

"Ash, pull in your powers. They won't harm you." He says softly. He reaches out to touch my arm but an arrow wizzes by and nicks his hand. He yells out profanities.

They hurt my people.

I stand up and grab Keyon's hand with both of mine. I close my eyes and feel power move through me and towards my hands. I open my eyes and look at his hand to see it fully healed.

I look into his eyes and see shock. "No one messes with my people."

He smiles and gives me a hug while avoiding my wings. He pulls away and faces the guards.

"Treat her royal highness with respect. She was only protecting her subjects." Keyon announces. "And get that damn iron away from us!"

I stand straight, no control over my body. My demon is in control. I pull my wings in and they become marks.

The guards stumble back in shock. I hear crossbows being loaded and guns being cocked.

"Hey! Let me into my own damn body!" I yell out mentally.

"Haha no. I'm showing you what it would be like if there was no angel inside of you." My demon snarls back.

Oh no. Oh no no no!

"Damien! Jessie! Help me!" I cry out mentally.

My body smirks and my demon speaks. "Looks like a have a little meal now."

She lundges at the guards. "No!"
