It was a long ride to the kingdom but we finally made it and when we got there we were brought straight to the king.

"So what do I owe the pleasure I thought Julius would have kept you on a tight leash. I' surprised the let you come here." Hale said as he sat in his large a black throne that was shaped like a jaguar at the top and the eyes were sparkle green gems.

Behind him stood about ten guys who all looked intimidating and they didn't budge just like before.

"Well you know that I was in a coma and Julius moved on and I should too." I replied.

"Does that mean you have come to join the hell games?" He questioned.

"No that isn't why I'm here, I'm here for something I believe is far more serious." I answered.

I explained to Hale what I knew again explaining the story was hard and I hated thinking about what I saw.

"How can we believe what you saw in dream?" He questioned.

"Believe me it was real all of it was and I want to free the women en salved in Labaren City." I said.

"I want to help but if you were wrong and beings knew that I entered a city on a hunch it wouldn't be good." He replied.

"I understand that but I just thought you should know that this is happening, and it could be going on else were. If it is it will never stop because no one of them has yet to get caught there is no fear to stop." I responded.

"You know you are persuasive I will give you that, I will give you three of my best guards whoever choose to go." He said gesturing toward the men behind them.

"How are we supposed to get into a city with just six of us." I stated.

"Believe me my men are powerful but no only that if I give you an army than many will think I was involved. If I just give you three of my guys no one will assume a thing because they could have chose to do so on there own." He explained.

"I will go." Said a male voice.

"Well look at that we already have one volunteer, and Saxton is one of my best guys." He reassured me.

"I appreciate any help we can get and anyone willing to join us." I said softly.

"My name is Donnie and I will go as well." Another guys said.

Another guy nervously cleared his throat. "I'm Barren and I will join you as well."

Hale stood up and clapped his hands together. "Well it looks like you have formed a small team to get things done, I truly hope you are right about this. I for one don't want things like this going on but if you are wrong there will be consequences. Honestly if you are right there will be consequences as well because you will be messing with money of a lot of clans. If Midas is receiving money to keep quiet than there have to be others and if you take down Labaren there will be a lot of angry beings."

"I know that and I'm willing to take that risk to do what I know is right." I replied.

"Well good then you guys can stay here while you set up a plan, and Saxton is good at infiltrating cities unnoticed he is the best guy for the job. Show them an area to sleep and where you can all talk I have other things to attend to, don't make me regret helping you." Hale said last words coming across as a threat to make sure I didn't mess up.

Saxton showed the girls to there room and then he showed me to mines and we talked briefly. He let me know that we had to pick a neutral city to stay in. Neutral city was a common place were all demons could go and didn't matter what clan you belonged too, there was no fighting allowed in those places. So Saxton idea was to find a neutral city that was close to Labaren City and that way we could find out everything we needed.

I went into the guest room and stripped off all my clothes and lay in the bed, and I was scared to close my eyes again. It was the same as the night before I was scared to fall asleep scared I wouldn't wake up again. But I was tired and eventually I was able to finally fall asleep and not think of the weight on my shoulders.

It took sometime to map out the right location eventually Trenton City was the place that Saxton and I agreed on. It took two weeks to get out hideout situated with all the supplies that we would need but we mad it happen. When I checked my account there were so many zero's and I didn't expect that amount. Kingston told me the amount would be high because Julius felt pretty guilty, and the elders thought a high amount was fitting for a once queen.

We had found a four bedroom house with a finished basement that had two bedrooms and sitting area as well. We turned the second sitting area into a gym area for everyone to be able to workout. Daya and Donnie made seals that that placed around the house and outside as well. Barren and Kingston worked on getting food supplies. Saxton and I got paid for the first few months to rent the places, got blankets and other miscellaneous items that we would need.

The only way Saxton agreed to truly come and do all of this was that I knew this would all take time. At first I didn't want to hear it and I was honest about that but then I truly sat down and thought it through. I knew that I really wanted to change things and I wanted to get it right. I knew that rushing into it could get us all killed but also ended up not helping anyone in the end. So I agreed that I didn't care how long it took and the girls did too we would do it right or not all.

Trenton City was large it was a fast paced placed with casinos, restaurants, bars, clubs and everything you could think of. When we arrived I felt like I was in the human world for a second because of how up to date the city was. There were billboards and electronic screens all over the place and the city was buzzing with so much life. There was always something going on and it was right next to Labaren City so it was perfect place to blend in. Beings that lived in the neutral city all had secrets or a past they lived in neutral cities because they had reasons not to belong to a regular clan. So it was truly perfect places were new faces like ours could truly blend in and no one would notice or care.

It was weird at first staying with guys we didn't know but after awhile we all kind of just got over it. It was late and the house was pretty quiet and like always I couldn't seem to sleep. I had chosen the room downstairs so I could workout whenever I wanted to. I rolled out of the bed and slipped on some shorts, socks and sneakers and then I walked over to the punching bag. I thought of my chains and the tattoos instantly appeared on my skin and I was shocked how I was able to control it.

"Another late night again?" Saxton asked making me jump.

"Um yeah I couldn't sleep." I shrugged.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked.

"No I don't." I lied as I slammed my fist into the bag.

"I'm good at reading other beings and I can tell that you have been tense." He replied.

"I don't think you know shit about me to say that." I bit out.

"I didn't mean anything by it I was just pointing something out." He replied.

"I don't mean to be hostile but I been through a lot of shit since I got here and nothing seems to be getting easier." I admitted as I continued to hit the bag over and over again, and my chains clanked against the bag.

Saxton went over and grabbed the bag and made it stop. "I know that things are tough and I can't imagine what the hell you are going through but we will figure out how to free those women. He reassured me.

"Then what, what do I do next?" I stated because after that I wasn't sure what to do.

"What do you mean, you take down the king and you free those women and you run the city." He replied.

Saxton was right I had been avoiding it but I knew deep down that, that is what I wanted to do. Be a queen of city and show beings that women are powerful and can have a prosperous city.
