Run Away Royal

Chapter 2

The smell of dead bodies hit my nose and I jolted awake. I found myself in a cell with silver bars. I growled and got up from the bed. It was just blankets in a pile with an old pillow with what looks like blood on it. I cringed as I felt a chain around my ankle.

"You're awake." A voice said. I looked over and glared at the handsome vampire. He had dark brown hair and grey eyes. His fangs were extended.

"I am very much awake." I spat.

He frowned and looked at me sadly. "You have been through a lot these past couple of days huh Faith?"

"You could say that." I said calmly.

He unlocked the cell and stepped in. He walked right up to me. "Im sorry, you wouldn't be in here if you were awake earlier. I would have been able to read you. We hate the royals just as much as you do."

"Why?" I asked confused.

"They made us separate. There used to be a time, you were just a pup, when vampires and werewolves, witches, fae, and a whole lot of other creatures used to run together. But now were all in our own towns. You can't catch sight of a fae as they've been forced to be in their true form. Witches aren't allowed to use their powers for anything without being punished." He informed me.

"That's awful, I had no idea." I said guiltily.

"Don't feel guilty my dear it was your mother. She truly is an evil queen. Her first mate was an abusive vampire. He was killed by a hunter and the moon goddess gave her a second chance mate. Your father. She hated him at first but learned that he as a wolf was a good man. But then one night his vampire side came out in anger and he hurt her. It wasn't his fault, the queen knew this but because of her troubles after you were born she sent out a slip telling all creatures not one hybrid child was to be born ever again so they wouldn't have to face the same troubles. If one was created she would make the parents watch them die a horribly painful and long death." He said.

"All my years of being locked in that damn castle, doing as I was told, and being who I don't want to be, I had no idea of any of this. Im wolf, fae, and vampire. My mother's wolf and fae, my father's wolf and vampire how could my mother not want all creatures to live side by side in peace when she was. She is such a vile woman and I feel bad it took me so long to realize. Now I know the truth." I said.

He smiled, "You'll make an excellent leader when you grow up my dear. Youre almost there just one or two more years."

I looked at him for a while thinking. "Don't turn me in. No matter what my mother does. I will go by Madison Rose. I need to stay away for one more year at least, so I can return and take over the throne. I will make things better I swear."

He grinned, "I know, my Queen." He bowed as I let out my Royal power. He jumped back with the biggest grin I have ever seen in my life. "You have great power."

I smiled, "Can you let me go the guards are close."

I suppressed my power as he unlocked the chain. He got me my bag and rushed me out of there. When we got to the door he pulled me back inside and slammed the door shut. "They're here."

I looked at him frightened. "Princess you have to trust me. Get on my back I will run you to the woods where you'll be able to get away."

I climbed on his back, "I trust you."

He ran like a bolt of lightning through the town and into the woods. He stopped and set me down. "Go my queen it won't be long until they continue on. Run."

I kissed his cheek, "I thank you sir."

"My name is Philip." He said.

"Thank you Philip, it was a pleasure. Please in the next half of year find me. I would like to thank you better." I said and ran off.
