Xavier's POV

I think she knows. I don't know though. That dream that she had, it worries me. What if she knows what I did. Will she hate me? Will she understand? She was an orphan too, maybe she will see my reasons. I honestly don't know, but that is the least of my worries. We are being chased by soldiers by my 'father' Zanthis, and now there is another huge obstacle that we have in front of us. 

Dani's POV

"What is that thing?" I said quietly, trying not to wake it up. There was a monster, surprisingly resembling the monster in my dream, sleeping on the floor of the forest. We had to move quickly or the soldiers would get us, but we couldn't around this giant beast. 

"I honestly have know idea what it is." Xavier said.

"Me neither." Said Georgina.

"I do." Lovely said, flying down human size.

"What is it then?" I asked. I motioned to keep going, since we couldn't just stand there. As Lovely was explaining, we walked carefully around the monster.

"It's a Narliss. They are basically a giant, ram, and lion mix. They are extremely dangerous, and rare." Said Lovely.

"I don't mean to alarm you, but I think the soldiers are here." I said. I heard their heavy footprints behind me, getting louder and louder, then quite. 

"We're almost clear." Lovely said.

"Stop right there!" A soldier yelled. Great. Just Great. Thanks for waking up the Narliss for us.

"Run!" Xavier yelled just as the Narliss starting tossing, waking up. We started bolting, leaving everyone behind, but the Narliss was after us. More likely me.

"Why is it following us and not attacking the soldiers?" I said.

"Because they only come after one type of person, power people. People like you who have special powers that are specific to who they are. Like you, you grew up needing to make things, so you grew the power to." Lovely said. 

"Great, just what I wanted to hear." I muttered. The Narliss was gaining fast. It was huge and we were small, it was going to catch us one day.

"Go! Keep going! I'll hold him off a little." Xavier said, stopping.

"NO! I am not leaving you!" I yelled, grabbing him by the arm.

"I will not let you die! You have too big a destiny!" He yelled back.

"I can't go without you. I care about you." I said. I was scared, I knew that if Xavier stayed, he would most likely die. I couldn't live with that.  "You shouldn't die for me. I can't live with that." I said. I was pleading at this point. The Narliss was less than 5 minutes away and we had to go. 

"Xavier-" I was cut off by his kiss. I felt it right on my lips and then it was over. 

"Go." Was all he said, then he started running, not running in my direction, by running to the Narliss. I was crying, I was sad, but I also was mad, and I do stupid things when I'm mad.

"I'm am NOT leaving you out here on your own Xavier!" I screamed and ran, ran towards him and the Narliss who was already at Xavier. I didn't care if I died in this moment.

"What are you doing here?!" He yelled.

"You do not just kiss me then tell me to leave you to die and expect me to actually do that!" I yelled back, but before he could argue, I was lifted in the air. I screamed. I tried doing whatever I could to get out, but nothing worked, it was an almost choking grasp the Narliss had on me. 

"Let me go you stupid monster!" I screamed. The monster laughed a horrible, evil laugh.

"Why should I? All your going to do is run off with your prince boyfriend and maid into the sunset. Why shouldn't I just kill you?" It said with a surprisingly normal toned voice.

"Because I have a destiny. I might not have thought of it before, but I have a destiny in that kingdom and I need to get back. I was going to go back, but I need to get away for awhile." I said, hoping that I could convince him to let me go.

"You are just saying that to fool me. You don't know your own destiny. It's pathetic!"It said.

"Maybe I am saying that to fool you, but maybe I'm not. How would you feel if you killed me when I actually was telling the truth?" I said. Maybe this monster would have some empathy.

"I wouldn't care either way. Because either way I will die, if I don't kill you. That's my punishment. If I let you go, either I die, or I die." He said, this time his face changed. Not to a evil face, but more of a scared face.

"Look, I can see you are being forced to do this. Please, I can protect you if you just let me go." I said, I was really pleading, I didn't know what else to do. I was going to die, and it was all because I didn't know my stupid destiny. 

"You can't protect me, only the King or Queen can." He said.

"I am the Queen." I said, realizing that my parents were the king and queen.

"No your not, someone else is." It was.

"There can't be, it's not like I have any siblings. And besides, that throne is rightfully mine." I said. I was getting very confused.

"You really don't know your destiny." It said. The Narliss sighed. "You must find the only other people that will understand you in order for me to live. If not Zanthis or Xavier will kill me." 

"I already have, and Xavier wouldn't do that. He is sweet. He may be the son of Zanthis, but he is nothing like him." I said, smiling as I said it. The Narliss smiled back, but this time it was a hate smile.

"You really don't know do you? Xavier has mind control. He can make anyone think anything. He can control people. He is the true evil in the two. He controlled Zanthis into adopting him and making him care for him." My mind went crazy. This can't be true, Xavier isn't like that, or was he just controlling me? So many questions flew though my mind. I almost forgot I was being held 100 feet in the air by a giant monster, with Xavier down by it's feet.

"Your boyfriend's starting to hurt my feet, I think I'll put you down now, but you need to promise you will protect me." It said.

"I promise, but what's your name?" I said, smiling that I got the Narliss to actually become sort of my friend.

"Narma." It said. "Narma the Narliss. I know it's stupid, my parents were pretty stupid." Narma said. I laughed a little and Narma bent down and dropped me down.

"Thank you Narma!" I yelled from the ground before I almost fell over from Xavier's hug.

"You're alive!" He said. I enjoyed the moment for a while, but then what Narma said sinked in. I pushed Xavier away, who had a very confused look on.

"Spill." I said.

"He told you." He said, he shoulders slumped.
